hypnotize me through

one of my deepest darkest secrets is that the taggie x rupert relationship dynamic is literal catnip to me it hits every time. give me rakish older man who's so ruthless he scorches the ground of any place he's ever called home and then goes back to his empty life in his empty house and tries to remember how to be human, put a girl in front of him who's so genuinely good and unsullied and a little vulnerable and so sure he can be better than who he's always been that she almost makes him believe he can do it too and then - and this is crucial - make it so he absolutely cannot touch her no matter what. and then sit back and watch me implode

walton revealing cooper did indeed change his tone and soften his words after witnessing lucy's world crumble before her gives "you coming?" a whole new meaning to me 😩

cooper being two hundred years old means he talks about stuff that doesn't even really make sense to people. like being amish or a production of "the count of monte cristo". ice cream socials and canned peaches and marmalade. how good food use to taste. even when he served in the military and had to deal with the power armour defects. he misses pre war so bad. when he and everything else was normal. he's practically stuck there. and i don't blame him. cooper makes jokes people don't even get. maybe lucy would be the first person in a hundred years to get a joke and laugh at him. i bet he'd almost break down someone actually understood him for the first time since the bombs fell
