Just Person of Interest.

#joss carter reached out her hands and pulled a bloody government-sponsored assassin from the edge of the abyss     #joss carter was partnered with a dirty cop—not even the blackest cop in the division; just your average low-life rat with an overdeveloped     #sense of loyalty and love for his own skin     #and he washed himself clean because he couldn’t stand to sit across from her caked in that filth     #joss carter was so unfailingly Right and unswayed that even a mob boss—who stood opposite her in every way     #liked her; avenged her (“she was civilized to the end” a eulogy from satan     #who stood abashed and felt how awful goodness was; and how fair virtue)     #joss carter was a cop and when the badge did not stand for Right and Honor and Protection she took a sword     #and cut away the rot     #in another like she was an interrogator because what else? she has been seeking right and truth all her life     #she has always been convincing people to share in it with her     #some people the world can’t afford to lose and she is all of them   (notbecauseofvictories)

Person B knowing they’re undoubtedly about to die within the next few seconds, likely from the gaping wound they’re bleeding out from. Instead of calling for help, they phone Person A and carry on a casual conversation as if nothing is wrong, making sure to mention how much they love them before their time runs out.

#look at her body language here though#it’s not hers at all#she so GOOD at manipulating people and knowing how to come off as non-threatening#the too-big coat and glasses and awkward body language#waving her hands in front of her body#being flustered when caleb indicates that he’s interested in her work#she knows exactly how to lure people into underestimating her#even by this point#where harold and the machine have mostly convinced her that her ‘bad code’ ideology isn’t true#she still sees people as variables to be controlled and manipulated#and she sees herself as something separate from them#which is what makes her such a good analog interface#she and the machine both see themselves as something between humanity and machine (via @grovesroots)

#have i ever gone on about how much i love shaw’s hair #like not only because it’s gorgeous af #but because she actually has it pulled back in combat #except for the 2 iconic hair strands that flip perfectly #men who write women with their hair down during action scenes should be forced to go running with a long wig on #carter wore her hair pulled back sometimes too and i appreciated that #root i forgive for leaving her hair down because she’s just that extra  (Via @asleepinawell)

#root is legit that extra #she probably has the machine calculate head flip angles #plus she doesn’t need to see as much cause the machine can beep at her if she’s about to fall over a cat - @constantlyhalfcocked
