I saw @vacantbloodbones get an ask about this with no link so I’m here to share the adorable interview. Pour one out for graves being acknowledged at 1:58.
BEST. VIDEO. EVER.
You, honey, just made my day
Decker’s Policy possibly states that when in serious danger, a person can fake death and stay in hiding until it is safe. When it is safe that person can come out of hiding and legally return to their previous status. This means that Jenny Shepard could come back at any point if she thinks it’s safe and she could take back her chair as Director of NCIS. This is why no one has said anything about the policy. I believe Decker was in danger and had plans to use this policy, as it was created for his own use. Unfortunately the bad guys killed him before he got the chance to carry out his plan. If he would have faked his own death, the bad guy who wanted his position could take it. However if this were to happen Decker could come back and reveal the bad guy’s plan, get his spot back and put the bad guy away. Decker died from murder but the cover up said it was a heart attack. Jenny was smart. Yes there were bad guys after her. Yes there was a shootout. But, Jenny was smart and faked her death. She was being poisoned, (her symptoms could be side effects of thallium poisoning as I’ve explained in another post. It explains why Jenny dyed and cut her hair because thallium causes hair loss and this would prevent people from noticing, it can effect the kidneys, motor skills, and it also effects the heart which is why Tony didn’t think she had a pulse.) Director Vance is probably in on this. He was completely prepared to become director. He stepped in right away and showed no sign of shock or remorse for Jenny. In fact he tried to split the team up and succeeded for a while, (probably to keep them from finding out he was in on this.) I believe when Decker’s policy surfaced and Jenny was pronounced dead, Vance realized he was basically fucked if she hadn’t actually been killed, which is why he never brings it up. If someone sees the policy they could suspect and look into this. This could also help explain why Gibbs, Mike and Vance had no problem with burning her house down to lie about how she died. Vance truly did want people to think Jenny was dead so that no one would question his becoming director. Gibbs and Mike understood that as long as the public knew she died, no one would be after her and she would be safe in hiding for as long as she needed. The note Gibbs found in Jenny’s house that had his name on it was left AFTER her supposed death when people were lead to believe it was her way of saying she knew it was going to happen. It was actually her way of saying she was alive and well. (Kind of like the House series finale: House left his name badge where Foreman would find it.) So, all this means they could have Jenny come back at some point. I highly doubt they ever will though. I don’t think Lauren would ever return to her role as Jenny, I don’t think the creators of NCIS would be thrilled about bringing a supposedly dead character back, but that’s just because that’s not the kind of show it is. If they ever bring up the storyline again though I do hope we find out about how Jenny is, at least to settle the nerves of the people who miss her. Even if none of this happens though, us viewers have the satisfaction of knowing there is a possibility that she is alive and well somewhere… (I like to think she moved to Paris… For obvious reasons.)
The importance of this, not just the stakes of this storyline, but also the importance of this chapter of all of our lives culminating in this way… It really feels like we’re doing something extraordinary.

One of the best parts of The Crimes of Grindelwald was when McGonagall undid the hex on the girl’s mouth and cast it again when she started talking badly about Leta.
We’ve got quite a team now. Let’s GO!
(P.S. I have 0 idea of the validity of these. I’ve simply gathered the ones floating around. I’m going to pretend they’re all real.)

Cinder, answering the door: And that’s not just jealously talking, I’d say that to her face
Cinder: *opens door*
Levana: I need your help

no offense but bucky not remembering what he does as the winter soldier makes his & sam’s rivalry so much funnier
Peter didn’t really know what to do with himself at the funeral.
After wandering around in a grief-induced haze, he ended up sitting by the lake alone, imagining maybe Mr. Stark would jump out of it and jumpscare him. He’d done that a few times in the lab. Peter hadn’t thought it was funny at the time, but now he’d give anything for him to do it again.
Little footsteps sounded, and a little girl edged herself up onto the log next to him.
“What’re you looking at?” She asked.
Peter shrugged, “Nothing.”
“You’re Spidey, aren’t you?”
Peter nodded, “Yup.”
“Daddy told me about you,” Morgan said.
Peter looked down at the girl, surprised, “What?”
“There’s a picture with you in it in the kitchen,” Morgan explained, “I asked about it and Daddy said the boy there was a hero he used to know. He said you were gone.”
“I was,” Peter admitted, “But your dad saved me.”
“I thought so,” Morgan said thoughtfully, “You know, Daddy was sad when he talked about you. Mommy said it was because he loved you very much and he thought you being gone was his fault.”
“Did she?” Peter asked, trying not to cry.
“Yes, she did,” Morgan said matter-of-factly, “You know, you look like me. You have brown hair and brown eyes like me. It’s because you’re my brother, right?”
“What?”
“You look like Daddy, and I look like Daddy. He loves both of us very much and he said he used to give you popsicles just like he gives me popsicles. So you must be my big brother, right?”
Peter shrugged, not knowing what to say.
Someone else sat down on Peter’s other side.
“Harley,” Morgan said nonchalantly.
The boy who looked a bit older than Peter looked confused that she recognized him, “You know me?”
“Of course,” Morgan said, rolling her tiny eyes, “Daddy said you almost shot him with a potato gun.”
Harley chuckled, “Yeah, I did. I helped him fix his suit.”
“I know that,” Morgan said, “Mommy said she wouldn’t be alive if you hadn’t helped him, and if she wasn’t alive, I wouldn’t be alive. You saved me and Mommy and Daddy.”
Harley looked caught off-guard, “I guess I did.”
“You look more like Mommy than Daddy,” Morgan decided, “But that’s okay. I think I can love both my big brothers either way.”
Harley exchanged a look with Peter. They both knew they weren’t really Morgan’s brothers.
But still… Peter could sense the silent agreement that they would both do anything for this little girl.
“We can love you, too, little sis,” Peter promised as Morgan wiggled in between the two of them for warmth.
Watching from the porch, Pepper managed to crack a smile.
Her little girl wasn’t going to have to be alone. None of her children were.
