#SHE GRABBED HIS ARM

[mswyrr]

#snowbaird #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #i get so weary of people saying 'he only wanted to control her' etc etc #their 'meet cute' is him terrified and relieved that she's there to act as a PARTNER in manipulating the media & handling people #she's someone who can actually advise him on this because she's damn good at it! #and he respects and admires that about her #side note: one change i like in the movie is that they have her actually grab his arm and make him focus on her - more fun than the book lo

Please, dearest parental figure, can we get a snippet of moon and soap after she has decided to come plop in his lap? I love the feral cat metaphor so much.

(Totally don’t have to if you’re not in the mood for it of course)

Yeah let's do some Soap POV cuz I love writing for the boys.

The living room is dim save for the flickering light from the television. Soap leans against the arm of the couch to avoid getting caught in the lovey dovey vibes emanating from the other side of the couch. Ghost takes up enough space on his own without Goose cuddled up next to him. If he cranes his neck he can see you popping popcorn in the kitchen, you lean against the counter in a way he thinks might be unbecoming of someone pretending to be a nun. It's more interesting than the movie anyway. He watches you with his hand against his cheek, and wonders if you're ever going to get it through your head that he's serious about you.

For fuck's sake there's only so much room a man can leave for Jesus before he starts assuming you don't want anything to do with him. Or, nothing with any feeling to it. It's all good fun sneaking around but at some point a fella has to wonder if you're just in it for that, fun.

You're so pretty. You're so damn pretty. Fearless, stubborn, always thinking you know best and so fucking- God. He must be crazy to love you like this. You certainly aren't as consumed by it all as he is. Prickly little- You take the bag from the microwave and dump it in the previously full bowl, stealing a few pieces for yourself. Soap doesn't bother to hide his staring when you catch his eye, he smiles, and watches your expression soften a little before you can catch it.

You make your way back to the living room and hold the bowl out to Goose, who takes it graciously, never taking her eyes off the movie as she grabs a handful of popcorn. Soap assumes you'll take your seat in the armchair again, cozy yourself up with one of the blankets. Maybe you'll even fall asleep, then he could have a reason to ask you to stay the night.

The wheels are turning in his brain, churning out plans and casual asks, when you sit on his lap. Every muscle in his body tenses, too afraid you'll move to even breathe. Move you do, settling a hand on his knee to find a comfortable spot and driving an anxious affectionate stake even further into his heart. You mumble something and start to stand again, Soap can't let that happen.

It's a gamble pulling you to lean back against his chest, spreading his legs a little wider to give you room as you tense under his hold. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Goose move her legs over Ghost's lap, his hand holding the outside of her thigh to give more room. Damn good friends, Soap thinks to himself. You're another issue, settled in his lap, legs neatly between his, and still as tense as a man waiting to be executed.

"Sorry, I'm not," you mumble, a hand on his thigh, a threat that you might try to get up again, "I'm not good at this sort of thing."

"Couldn't give a rat's ass," Soap tells you, quiet as he can manage. He can't make you relax but he can certainly make you more comfortable. He can settle your head against his shoulder, box you a little closer to the arm of the couch, rest his hand on your knee and rub his thumb against the cotton of your pants until you go boneless against him with a soft sigh. You certainly don't feel bad at this, whatever this is. Cuddling, God you're so- Overthinker, he's adding it to the list. Fearless, stubborn, smart-ass, overthinker.

You press your face a little closer to his neck, grip his shirt between your fingers. Cuddly little thing. Soap turns the kiss your forehead, wraps his arm around your shoulders instead of just letting you rest against it. Just like that, he thinks, isn't that nice? All cuddled up like a proper sweetheart.

Just for him. You don't have to be sweet for anyone else, and he sure as hell isn't going to ask you to be. But maybe once in a while you can be sweet for him.

You pull back and Soap's arms tense around you before he feels you touch his jaw. Gentle fingers that draw his attention down so you can kiss him, soft and slow. Christ if he could marry you on the spot he would. Goose can notarize, Ghost can witness, all he needs is a priest. Where the hell is Gaz when he needs him?

"Comfortable?" He asks when you pull away and tuck your head under his chin.

"No." You don't make a move to leave his lap, but Soap didn't think you would. Getting a proper yes out of you is like pulling teeth. He doesn't mind though. You're cute when you try to lie to him.

#oc: moon #cowboy!Soap #oh boy oh boy she is never getting up #i think Moon falls asleep like 5 minutes later and Soap just screams internally the rest of the movie #hes big and warm and comfortable i wanna fall asleep on him too #he carries her to bed and just!!! hopes he can wake up to her in the morning #Moon is mortified that she fell asleep #but as soon as Soap sits down shes perched on his knee #she grabs his arm and presses close when he stands in the kitchen #she ducks under his arm to hug him close when she spots him in public #drags him down by his dog tags to kiss him #insatiable thats what Moon is #johnny soap mactavish x oc #johnny soap mactavish x reader #johnny soap mactavish #soap x oc #soap x reader #f!oc #f!reader #soap mwii

my research partner and i are huddled in a blanket in paddington waiting for a too-late train i already miss you and you and you

#he keeps falling asleep almost on my shoulder and waking up and readjusting but i want to tell him its ok weve seen a lot #of each other ive seen your brainwaves you called me crying a few nights ago. research partner right now is a potentiality #friend is a certainty. i met a banker passionate about finance. he said his advice made the lives of others better and he likes the numbers #more than he likes anything else. on a high rise near canary wharf the view was wonderful and the people even moreso #he said i loved her but i spent 33 grand on her and i cant do this anymore. his voice cracked talking about her. he did love her. #and she talked softly she grabbed my hand she bought me a pack of Marlborough gold she told me to snap #the russian menthol cigarettes of the tortured polish man near us with my teeth i kept staring at her teeth #bright white and sharp. i couldnt find her heartbeat but i did find warmth and i did find her lips and i did feel #how she felt pressed against a wall. a pretty boy held my hand and i gave him my number. i couldnt stop smiling about her no matter #how many runways youve walked on how many collections youve designed how many students youve taught. senior lecturer teaches me how to do #very unethical things ethically over a double shot of vodka made by the half-persian with broken farsi. she talks softly #and she says her eyes are hazel but they appear a shade of red. pure gold on her hands and leather on her back and her fingers on my lips #(she talks softly sees through me she says something i cant hear but i wont forget the way she flies) she talked to my research partner #about the possibility of moving to sunny dubai with the rest of her family and my heart felt pierced. on her arm i traces a tattoo of a #knife passing through a rose. she told me she thought there was romance in severing so i kissed her some more. #he sat me down and asked me what i loved and i told him and he said no romance no person no tragedy will take that from you. #the room was filled with a collection of people in love with something that wasnt a person and i kept looking at her. #red eyes bitten jawline beautiful hands. it is 3 degrees Celsius my head is on his shoulder i miss my friends #we walked out the lecture hall with arms linked a photo of two years ago and we both said #jesus christ. i miss you all. and i miss logic metatheory lectures. im glad i get to stare at the depth of your eyes #i wish i had met you years ago. #crushposting

omfg in the end of Saiki K Live Action its pretty much implied he was going to let her have the date she worked so hard for because she had solved everything else, then the rival school delinquents attack, etc etc and when he rewinds the time to do it perfectly this time, he catches Teruhashi's coy glance his way and he exasperatedly smiles with affection. thats the only way i can describe that expression literally he looks like hes trying to hold his face in place but the smile is bursting out by force causing the awkwardness. THEY HAD THEIR DATE IN THE LIVE ACTION UNIVERSE

#mypost #saiki k #saikik #saiki k live action #saiteru #terusai #idk how to explain it but live action saiki is more into teruhashi than anime saiki #like saiki is also begrudgingly going along with her schemes but live action saiki feels like. hes actively suppressing this... #this...inclination to like her? like he almost does #hes always blankly going “i cant like someone who thinks like that” but it almost feels like playfully telling your friend theyre being evi #like “lmao ok you know what i cant be friends w you anymore ok bye” #i cant like someone like this teruhashi-san *eye roll* *lets her grab his arm and run all the way to the gym* #idk the FONDNESS is stronger to me. maybe the blank voice+ limitation of animation makes saiki look more dead #and kento yamazakis face betrays anything. like that twinkle in his eyes when she genuinely asked him if he was ok with no ulterior motive #he went O.O -.- oh yea im fine. thanks. #great acting great direction i caught every crumb

Btw I just re-watched Entropy with my friend after I rambled to her for hours over the fact that Cat sexually harrassed Spencer in every fucking change she got and she went full "wait....when they meet she goes for a hug but he stops her. what if her constantly touching him is just another way to specifically fuck with him because she realized he doesn't like that shit in particular."

I felt like my third eye was fucking opened holy shit-

#criminal minds #spencer reid #cat adams #also notice how even when she is holding him hostage she is opening his suit #instead of grabbing him by the arm or some shit #can she not for five fucking minutes

Ash is trying to tell Iris something, but she's wayyy to close, so he loses focus

#I've been rewatching BW and noticed that Iris usually get super close to Ash and seem comfortable with it??? #grabbing his arm or shoulder whenever he gets hurt #or randomly bumping into him or get close to his face when she gets super excited #at first she rejected the idea of them traveling together #even though she did follow him around smh #Iris doesn't want to admit it because she is insecure but she does indeed like him a lot #bw #ash #iris #pikachu #negaishipping

Ok fine, no Nightfall depth

But we did get a good deal of Twilight introspection, Yor was honest with him about her real concerns AND kicked Yuri out on his behalf, as well as some more twiyor crumbs reflecting how their relationship is growing

So yeah the chapter and overall arc is a complete win imo

#spy x family #sxf manga spoilers #sxf #twiyor #loidyor #i really do love that she was honest about the origins of the stupid fight she picked as well as admitted she wants him to rely on her more #i also love the rapport twilight has w the STILL NAMELESS old guy agent #yuris awkward save on how he got hurt & why he grabbed twilights arm were really funny but ooh hes starting to figure stuff out #yor!! kicking yuri out!!! on twilights behalf!!!!! rip her setting his shirt on fire tho #twilight thinking about home & how only the perfect survive & thinking about yor while thinking about why he has to stay alive LIKE!!! #poor dude cant catch a fucking break tho 😔 #tc posts

This quackity stream is off the shits. Even more than usual. Watching him get up IRL and fail rp with Phil was hilarious but also painful

#qsmp #quackity #qsmp liveblog #qsmp lb #my stuff #why did he grab his own arm like that #also love the person in chat accusing him of painting on his eyebrows #same vibes of that video where the lady is showing off the stick on eyebrows #and shes playing a super exaggerated like chola stereotype

[lunalivvy]

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THEY ANIMATED THEIR POSITIONS DIFFERENTLY ??

#SUCH A SMALL DETAIL BUT IM SCREAMING #SHES GRABBING HIS SHIRT #AND THE WAY LOIDS ARM IS JUST #not to be weird but THE WAY SHES LIKE KNEELING IN BETWEEN HIS LEGS ???? #THEY DIDNT HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY THEY WERE SITTING BUT THEY DID AND IM SO HAPPY ABOUT IT LMAO #THEY ALSO GOT SO MUCH CLOSER??? LIKE IN THE OTHER SCENE THEIR NOSES WERE ALMOST TOUCHING #spy x family #loid forger #yor forger #yor briar #loidyor #yorloid #loid x yor #yor x loid

Martha didn't get a Tennant Doctor because she didn't want a Tennant Doctor. Martha was the only one of RTD's companions who left the Doctor of her own volition, and only ever called him back on her own terms, when she had need of him.

Rose didn't leave the Doctor willingly. Rose was trapped in an alternate universe because it was either that or be stuck in a void with Daleks and Cybermen for the rest of time. And when she returned (primarily to warn the Doctor about the oncoming darkness caused by Davros but also because she wanted to be with him), she left with the Metacrisis Tenth Doctor and their own TARDIS because that was the only way to give her a satisfying ending from the viewpoint of the audience. (And even then, there are some fans who will tell you that nothing short of her being with the Time Lord Doctor in the prime reality is satisfying, but that just couldn't happen for reasons outside the narrative story.)

Donna didn't leave the Doctor willingly. Donna absorbed all of the intelligence of a Time Lord into her human brain, and this was going to kill her. She had to have her memory erased and be kept away from anything alien for presumably forever or else the knowledge would return and literally kill her. Donna begged the Doctor not to wipe her memory anyway, because she would rather have died than give up that life. Just like Rose, Donna had planned on staying with the Doctor for the rest of her life.

This was not the case for Martha. Setting aside the fact that Martha was treated like garbage for the duration of her season from a writing standpoint, by the end of season three Martha has realized two things: 1.) that she is goddamn brilliant and never deserved to feel like she was second best, and 2.) that she doesn't want the Doctor anymore. Unlike Rose, Donna, and Captain Jack, Martha leaves the TARDIS of her own free will, to pursue her own life and career outside the Doctor. Even Sarah-Jane says in "School Reunion" that she waited for the Doctor to come back for her; she didn't want to leave, not permanently! But Martha did. She chose to step away. The only other companion to have done this during RTD's run is Mickey, so I guess Martha wasn't the only one; still, she's the only one of the primary companions, the three women, to want to leave. She made that choice herself.

Now, does that mean everything about Martha's ending was perfect? No. As much as the "Smith and Jones" wordplay of her ending with Mickey is amusing (get it, like her first episode), it makes no sense when you consider that she was engaged when she returned in season four, and yet we never hear of that fiance again. I mean, I guess it's fine since it's not like we ever saw him? But what happened there? Why was no thought given to Martha's story there? What was she doing with Mickey in an active war zone? Why no mention of her in these three specials even though, last we heard of her, she was working with UNIT in a really important position? I like Mel well enough, but why couldn't Martha have been there instead? Especially since Martha and Donna had a preexisting friendship, and would have been delighted to see each other again?

With that said though, she doesn't need a Tennant Doctor. She didn't want a Tennant Doctor. Frankly, Tennant's Doctor doesn't deserve her with the way he acted ("Rose would know" right to her face, like -- dude, I get it, you're grieving, but that's fucking rude and Rose would NOT approve you using her memory to make another woman feel bad about herself). Martha's character arc was about recognizing her own brilliance and her own worth; standing on her own two feet as a PROPER doctor, Doctor Martha Jones, walking the earth and saving the world without a TARDIS or Torchwood or a Time Lord brain. Just her own fucking determination and brilliance.

Rose and Donna got Tennant Doctors because that was the way to make their final send-offs satisfying. Rose and a Tennant Doctor got to be in love and happy together in a parallel world, which is fitting considering that they were in love and never wanted to leave each other. Donna and a Tennant Doctor get to be besties and happy together in this reality, so that RTD has a convenient excuse to pull Tennant back into a story if he ever wants to again (since it'd be hard to explain why Tentoo came over, versus having Fourteen right there) . . . but also because, like Rose, Donna never wanted to leave the Doctor, she wanted to be with him forever.

But Martha didn't want that. Martha left on her own accord. She left with a smile on her face and her cell phone on the TARDIS console, so that when she said "here boy!" the Doctor would listen. She left on her terms, with him at her call, only there when she has use for him.

And honestly? Good for her.

#like it was a fucking waste that we didn't see Martha at all in these specials #or even get a mention of her but like #she wouldn't WANT a Tennant Doctor. she was the only one of the 3 who left willingly! #(and honestly who can blame her like fr . . . the shit she put up with bc of him) #(the shit in the Family of Blood episodes gave her just cause to beat his ass into next week honestly) #(she hugs him at the end but honestly she should have beat his ass. just started swinging) #(how dare he do that to her? honestly?? i'm not talking about the love plot bit bc while that was ugh it's like #small potatoes to making her as a Black woman have to WORK IN SERVITUDE TO WHITE PEOPLE #and like the scene where he grabs her arm and throws her from the room? BITCH????? #GOD i'm mad again just THINKING about it #she should have beat his ass so hard he regenerated right then and there. AGH. #ANYWAY #Martha Jones deserved better but getting a Tennant Doctor is not better #not for her. it would be like a punishment honestly #she walked away from him and then you put his sad boy ass back on her doorstep?? hello??? no thank you #doctor who #martha jones #dw spoilers #this probably sounds like I hate Tennant's Doctor but I don't #I just hate how a lot of season 3 was written wrt how Martha was treated #like Martha having very legitimate concerns in the Shakespeare episode about being a Black woman in that time period #and Ten mocks her for being concerned like ??? #ARGGGHGHHGHGHGHG #ABOUT TO FLING MYSELF INTO THE TV TO BEAT HIS ASS MYSELF ISTFG #A N Y W A Y
