Ava (Buck’s Version)

trinity santos is a study in fandom misogyny because they gave her all the characteristics fandoms usually salivate for in men, being gruff, quippy and misunderstood with a tragic backstory but a heart of gold beneath it all. they put all this into her AND let her be a lesbian. she's everything you could ever want in a character but she's not a man so half the fandom either hates her or constantly mischaracterizes her as petty, callous and aggressive while doing mental gymnastics to baby the male characters around her

the more i rewatch this season, the more scared i get of the way he looks at her. not to be dramatic, but that’s the look of a man who would be doing very scary things if there weren’t people around

it's fine. he has this sick feeling in his stomach that he wishes his wife had left him. he knows its good she stayed. he knows he's lucky. but when she kisses him on the cheek it feels like a stranger. when she holds his face in her hands he can't trust the loving gaze. he sleeps with her to stave off the emptiness. she's there and yet he's alone.

the best part of langdon’s addiction? the fact that it’s for back pain. because now EVERY kingdon fic is like “oh we must share a bed because frank has a bad back. the horror” and i read all of them

Bitches can't even like a show and admit it has copaganda anymore it's always gotta be something like "my show's different" "he likes guns because he has gun autism he's not like other cops" it's genuinely less embarrassing to be self aware and say "I like x character/element/etc while I also recognize that some particular qualities of it are meant to positively influence the viewer's opinion on cops via fiction." It's literally that simple

if a mel/frank shipper took a shot of vodka everytime someone said "oh i just see them as friends" or "i see them as a sibling dynamic" or "he's married and has a family" they'd be lying in the morgue
