Tuesdays are no better than Mondays: getting up early, trying to wake up your brainbox, scrambling your brain for coherent response… Well, at least, here they call Tuesday the 2nd Monday.
We’re hoping your Tuesday morning is much better than Don’s ;)
Good morning, fellas, and let’s roll!
Day 3: “Hands All Over”
They hold hands? Their fingers brush for an instant? Or they are hungry for touch?

Even Tom can't resist those ever-changeable hazel Ressler peepers! "Damn, what have I gotten myself into now?" 🤣 #Tessler!

@theblacklistrareshipsweek Day 2, “Damn Your Eyes”.
Do you think you’d love them all the same? (and even if) You’d lose everything, faith too. You gave your blood And the rest of that ridiculous crown And all your rags for just one dollar.

The Blacklist Rare Ships Week
DAY 2: “Damn, your eyes...”
This is actually what made my heart rate quicken. I’m not even joking! This is the EXACT frame that made butterflies erupt inside my stomach. The second picture is another pic that made my heart flutter.
Look, I know that these are literally the same pics from last time but idgaf. This is all we have of this beautiful pairing!
I will def draw artwork for RayAnne by the end of the week for my fellow shippers so we don’t have to fixate everything on that one masterpiece that is the first picture! I probably will draw a minimalist piece of them bird-watching or something like that. Or maybe them walking in Central Park. Who knows? All I know is that I cannot continue to reuse the same images, haha.
Day 2: “Damn Your Eyes”
Ilya: Katarina! Stop! Katarina, stop! Katarina: You said we’d figure a way out of this, and I have. You tracked me down here. We fought. I went over the edge. You’ll be a hero. You’ll get your life back. Ilya: Katarina, please, I have a way to get your life back, a way for me to get my life back, a way to escape the Cabal, the KGB, the Americans, and no one has to die. The world doesn’t know what happened to Raymond Reddington, Katarina. It is a mystery, right? So, we give them the answer. Katarina: What does that mean? [ Ilya comes up behind her and grabs her around the waist ] Ilya: Will you let me explain? Let me explain. Katarina: No. Ilya: Please, let me explain.
Day 2. “Damn your eyes”. Redlin/Bermond xD
I am in love with Peter Stormare (since “Constantine”, I assume), so when I saw him in TBL, I was like “OOOOOOH look at him!1″ And I also think, Red and Berlin have tremendous tension. Btw, I have a headcanon where they were meeting long time ago, but it’s a story for another time.
Day 2: “Damn Your Eyes”
Ilya: Well, don’t take it personally. It’s how, uh, all moral relativists feel about righteousness in the face of impossible odds. On the plus side, I’ll have nothing but love for you if we succeed, which we won’t. Katarina: We? Ilya: Well, we pledged our lives to each other. Katarina: [ SIGHS ] When we were 6. Ilya: And a promise is a promise.
TBLRSW Day 2: "Damn Your Eyes"
Red/Cooper
Day 2: “Damn Your Eyes”
Is it a stolen glance, seductive gaze, or shameless stare which makes your heart beat faster?
Two scenes jump to mind.
The first is from 2.22. Liz went to Tom for help and instead of running to save himself, he stayed to help her. I think Liz was always in love with Tom, always knew him, but I think she realized it in increments over the course of S2 and S3. This was one of those moments when she realized that all she wanted was him. He was home.
The second is from 3.17 just before their second wedding. I love the way she’s teasing him, how she misquotes Lewis Carroll to him, and just how much they love each other in that moment. She didn’t need perfect. She had him.
Mondays are such a... Well, you know.
But we're hoping it won't keep you from celebrating your fav things about The Blacklist with us!
Hope your Monday is better than Don's :)
Good morning, fellas!

Red/his mirror reflection
Slow blues flows from the Sennheiser, reverberating through each cell of his body with pleasure. Red hums to the rhythm, slowly flexing his fingers and doing his tie in a Windsor knot.
He looks marvellous. Astonishing. Fabulous.
Each and every detail of his garde-robe is impeccable, clings to his body like a second skin, accentuating the shape.
In no hurry, Red turns around, trying to see himself from the back, and then turns around again, looking at his own eyes in the reflection. They are hazel, dark; a devilish twinkle giving away his attitude, tempting and sensuous.
“Parfait,” Red says, putting on his vest. He is ready for work.

The Blacklist Rare Ships Week
 DAY 1: “When I first saw you...”
The GIF above is when I fell in love with Red and Anne’s friendship. The promotion picture for 8.13 is when I fell in love with their romance. The third picture, a screenshot of the promo for 8.13, is what solidified my love for Red/Anne.
Red honestly deserves more happiness, especially after all the work he’s done and all the work he’s doing. I still remember how in 1.09, Red described his wish to have a woman in his arms again. Anne could possibly be that woman! As you can see, I am so so STOKED for 8.13! So stoked!
Red/Anne is literally the best and most genuine ship! They actually formed a connection, and to be honest, I think Anne is a much better fit for Red than any other woman he’s been with. She seems to understand him though she doesn’t even know his criminal past and present, but I can tell she’ll be accepting of him once he reveals who he is (at least, I hope so). The scene where Red stood her up was so sad, especially when Anne started to cry. That scene, in particular, made me feel super heartbroken. Lastly, the fact that the next episode will be Red/Anne-centric is so exciting!
Day 1. When I first saw you. Pressler/Rescott
Nothing new, lads)) I think, it’s all about James Carpinello and his foxy eyes x)) He literally looks at Ressler like “Who is this handsome man?” And I was like “aaaawwwwww THIS IS TENSION” xD
Day 1: “When I First Saw You”
Gina saved him. They were compatible in the land of the spies. 😎🔥
Day 1: “When I First Saw You”
Just look at how Kate is entranced by Katarina. She made a powerful first impression on her. I suspect Katarina picked up on this and played that up.
The Blacklist Rare Ships Week, Day 1
When I first saw you/the scene that made you fall in love with your ship
Ah, the romance known as Tessler! Donnie never trusted Tom from the get-go, but this major blow-up really put their love on the map and tested Harold's blood pressure. Also, an unfortunate garden gnome unwittingly played a part in what became a running gag that fans watch for to this day. Come on boys, now kiss and make up!

i'll find my way back to you
day 1: “when i first saw you”
the scene which made you fall in love with your ship/the first scene your faves meet each other.
i had been a passive viewer of the show right up to this point. this is the scene that had me. the second beginning of elizabeth following her heart, and against all odds, it leading her back to the one man she loved. soulmates is what they are.

Red/Cooper
Day 1: “When I First Saw You”
The scene which made you fall in love with your ship/the first scene your favs meet each other.
The very first one. It’s hard to remember exactly what I thought the first time through, but I started watching when S2 was about halfway through airing, and I had heard a rumour that Ryan’s character was more than he appeared. I didn’t know what that meant (I think my earliest theory was actually CIA), but I’m a sucker for badasses in domestic scenes. They’re just so normal here… until you get to know them. That’s when you see the little things like the way that Tom easily lifts Liz’s badge or that neither of them are at all bothered by the fact that there’s a chopper to pick her up.They’re efficient and in sync with each other. They were a team and worked well together even before the bomb dropped about Tom’s identity.
The Blacklist Rare Ships Appreciation Week
Day 1: “When I First Saw You”
With the endless tragedies the characters of the Blacklist are continuously asked to cope with, I thought I’d give them an oasis of undisturbed love and happiness. See them bask in each other’s gaze in this drama-free comedy series.
Good morning, fellas!

Ressler/his badge
It was a glorious sunny day, and Donald Ressler would have noticed that if he wasn’t so anxious.
He could swear that enormous goosebumps crawled up and down his spine, curling over his legs, but he forced himself to stand still.
“Donald John Ressler, step forward.”
His legs were a bit itchy when he obeyed the order. At first, he thought he couldn’t take a single step, but then he took a second step, third… The FBI’s Director Newman didn’t seem impressed at all—he just held out his hand and gave Ressler a small brown box. Ressler froze, looking at the box like a child at Christmas, and then opened it.
“DEPARTMENT OF INVESTIGATION.”
“SPECIAL AGENT DONALD RESSLER”
“Congratulations, son,” Newman murmured. “Now move on, I’m busy”.
“Oh… Oh, yes, I’m sorry,” Ressler took a step back. His legs were still trembling, but he looked at his new badge with awe, charmed by the bronze flare of its shape. Donald brushed his fingertips over it, as gentle as he could, and the realization struck him.
Special Agent Donald Ressler.
His heart did a jolt.
