#ray holt

something that makes me tear up all the damned time is the way captain holt always was a father figure for them. he appreciated charles' food blog when everyone made fun of it, he defended terry whenever zeke was being mean to him, he taught jake not only to be a better detective, but a better person, he was always rosa's first choice whenever she needed a guardian, he knew how much amy admired him and never, ever made fun of her for her ambitions and quirks, he always listened to gina's rants and always knew about her whereabouts. the amount of love i hold for this man is insane. he never once berated them for their fragilities, but he always tried his best to relate to them or humanise them, or help them resolve the issue. I love this show so much.
