Day 3, "Hands All Over"
Red had to give emergency medical aid to Ressler in Anslo Garrick which involved a lot of touching. But these two find excuses for physical touch throughout their relationship. Whether it's slapping on handcuffs, a pat on the shoulder, gentle care or a full-body hug, our #Resslington pair just seem to get more touchy as the years roll by.
I had to!

Day 3, "Hands All Over"
There's no denying it: Whenever Donald and Tom got into a fight, it was anything goes and LOTS of physical contact. And look closely at frame #6: Tom had to get in the last "hit", the way he swatted Donald's arm while walking away. You guys just can't keep your paws off each other, can you? #Tessler

Day 3: “Hands All Over” - They hold hands? Their fingers brush for an instant? Or they are hungry for touch?
Ressler’s hand-cuffs. They hold hands. Literally. And deserve a mention.

Samar/punching bag
Punch, punch, punch!
Inhale, exhale, inhale again: small fists throw punches into the bag full of sand; the bag spins, the chain rattles, echoing all over the empty gym this early morning.
Punch, punch, punch!
Inhale, exhale—Samar lets a shallow breath, but her lips curve in a wide smile: she’s in a perfect shape, and she knows it. No one in a whole unit cannot compete with her—not now, not ever.
Punch, punch, punch!
She throws her hair back, straightens her shoulders, and wraps fingers of her right hand around the wrist of the left one. She smiles—she almost smells the hot sand of Negev, sweat, and gunpowder.
When the time comes, she will be ready to kick the ISIS’ ass.

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 ;)

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
