A Very Yuriyaoi Halloween To All 🎃👍

The confirmation that Ethan used to be Dhan’s therapist but closed down his practice after they got together irritates me so bad. Because there’s a clear power imbalance there. And, yet, Ethan can’t understand why Dhan has an unyielding loyalty to Gabi.

Like you’re married to him after treating his trauma, and can’t understand that maybe he grows VERY ATTACHED to people who take care of him? Oh.

He's so baby girl in this scene!!! Aaaah I love this shot so much!!!

Jamie WTF are you doing!!! Also 2 weeks agian NBC you are evil!!!

The fight with her father is heartwretching and then it leading to showing sir at the window with stuff to take her agian is wild. I know we know he doesn't but still gets me wanting to know what comes next.

Gabi x Sir Bodyguard AU concept

People, I want to see a thriving PR professional Gabi and a semi-adjusted, slightly toned down but still obsessive Sir. Imagine if Gabi was taking M&A from success to success; leading the team brilliantly (with no man chained up in her basement). In this AU, Sir would be muscle for hire (purely because I like seeing this man work out) and Gabi would be seeking his services. M&A was founded by Gabi after a girl on her street (Bella) went missing and was never found. Sir had nothing to do with Gabi until she hired him.

Warnings: physical violence, death threats, mentions of human trafficking

M&A has a few enemies; due to the nature of what they do, its inevitable. Instead of letting the threats get in the way of their work, Gabi makes the executive decision to hire security personnel for each of the team, also making various safe houses available for them. The entire team have a bodyguard that is one call away at the weekend and by their side for 15 hours a day. Their contracts are four months, pending renewal.

This might seem drastic to some but they have been dismantling trafficking rings for months now and those motherfuckers are well connected. You can never be too safe.

Gabi's personal bodyguard is called Hugh Evans. He is in his 40s, tall and has stubble. Evans seems to enjoy reading Toni Morrison, Frank L Baum and Shakespeare. He's actually quite pleasant to be around except for the fact that he insists on calling her Gabrielle.

That being said, the 15 hours feel like nothing at all sometimes. For Gabi, Evans is a conundrum. How does someone so intellectually gifted not mind running errands with her all day? She could easily see him as a college professor. One night, Gabi convinces Evans to have a drink with her (after his shift ends, of course).

Over a bottle of red wine, they learn more about eachother. Evans was training to be a literature professor but had to drop out to look after his little brother. Their mom isn't the most reliable, so Evans is the one putting him through boarding school. He loves birdwatching and sculpting; but insists that it's just recreational.

Gabi tells him about her strained relationship with her father. To him, M&A is too dangerous; he never wanted her to have a target on her back. She laments that the passing of her mother broke something in their family and neither of them knows what to do now.

She is in great company, Evans is a great listener. Empathetic when needed but never pitying. She feels safe with him.

For Hugh, this is highly unprofessional. Drinking with clients is a no go for any security personnel worth his salt but there is something special about Gabrielle. She is a breath of fresh air; smart, beautiful and charming. He isn't ready for this contract to end. Not yet, anyway.

Part 2 because why nottttttt

Three months down the line, this working relationship is still going strong. The death threats to Gabi and her team are slowing down now but they all know that this could just be another tactic to get them to slip up.

Gabi doesn't read them anymore, instead she passes them to Evans who uses the letters to build a profile of the kind of people who seek to hurt Gabrielle. It's going well. These criminals are highly educated, strategic and obsessive. A four month contract looks almost naïve in the face of such a threat.

Thankfully for M&A, the police are involved and they are monitoring the situation. With the police alerts and Evans' tireless work, Gabi has been able to focus on each case and not worry about her own safety every second.

Evans has become like a permanent fixture in her life. Over the past few months, they have gotten much closer and it has only helped his work. They work out together, eat together and even watch black and white movies together. They're both into noir detective dramas.

Tonight, Gabi is (once again) working late. Its 11 and she should have been done hours ago. Evans just brought up her Doordash and they are sharing a meal. He's learned that this is the only way to get her to rest during a case.

Gabi was craving Thai food and Evans had long given up saying no to her. They shared cashew chicken and Khao pad. It was divine.

Over the meal, they talked about their the future. Evans wanted to stick with security work, for his brother's sake and Gabi was looking to find investors for M&A. Zeke bankrolling their whole operation couldn't last forever. Corporate funding was needed but that was a long term plan. For tonight, she was happy just to go to sleep.

As Gabi and Evans prepare to head back, an uneasy feeling creeps over the two of them. Sure enough, as they reach her place, the door is cracked open.

Evans gestures for her to stay back and contact the police. As Gabi dials 911, Evans checks each room. In her home office, one of the low lifes working for the Maryland trafficking ring is waiting with a 7 inch blade. Evans manages to subdue him, though not without damage.

When Gabi eventually enters her house, she finds the attacker tied up, unconscious and Evans bleeding from his side.

"Gabrielle.." he barely manages to croak out, before collapsing into her arms.

Part 3 here

I had this conversation with my friend about Margaret’s reaction to Gabi.

Basically, I think everyone else can all more easily accept/come to terms with and eventually forgive Gabi, for holding Sir captive. The reason for this is that, they all at one point were held captive and probably have had moments in which they thought, “I wish I could make my abductor feel the way I felt.”

But Margaret was never abducted. Her son was, and she has never received any sort of closure. She’s being held captive by the idea of information, hope, recognition, reunion, and/or closure.

So Margaret, as the mother of an abductee, despite knowing that sir probably deserved it and keeping him captive probably kept other safe from himz Despite that, she can’t forgive (just yet at least, she barely started therapy last season) Gabi because now there’s a big part of her mind who has put Gabi in the role of the person who abducted her son.

None of the others have ever been in the position that their loved ones were, while they were missing.

The reason Lacey’s mom (despite her being a psychopath, in my opinion 😅) can be so chill with Gabi, is because Gabi is the reason Lacey was able to escape. Gabi is the reason Lacey was able to laugh and open up again.

But Margaret doesn’t have any of that. Her son was abducted and Gabi is an abductor. She can’t compartmentalization while around Gabi and that’s why her “Margaret-vision” doesn’t work in Gabi’s presence.

Anyway, that’s my amateur psychoanalysis of the Margaret/Gabi dynamic.

the reason bobby died is because buck wasn’t sent to super mega turbo hell after coming out and tim minear needed to appease the god of procedural tv so he killed bobby for the sins of his son, obviously

georgia tennant grieving with ofmd fans

Yes I'll grieve losing tommy and bucktommy. But mostly, I'll grieve what we could've had with Bi Buck. Not the first time a character is Bi just to keep it as a side little quirky trivial thing by the writers. Idk if the people who are considering this a win are actually understanding what will happen. I would love to be proven wrong by the show, but with the interviews honestly 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Won't even dive in what we will lose with tommy, a great potential for having an emotionally deep gay character who came out later in life.. do you all not see what we are losing here...

And if the reason was really just to let buck "explore," that's the most biphobic reason thank you

Or if the reason is because of all the hate? Still bad, very ugly reason, especially that lou (who is the most affected by the hate !!) Didn't like what was happening

Idk I'm just rambling 🙄
