Debts & Accounts

[redbrunja]

I had a very successful if exhausting shopping trip ...technically yesterday. It involved a lot of driving and very little sleep but I got an awesome new phone and the Apple store managed to fix my computer in under a day AND compted the repair because I had a long wait while at the store to pick it up.

And then I came home to a new episode of Justified!

–I am giddy over the way Boyd/Ava played out. I love how straight Ava is with Boyd. She calls him on his actions and comes across as really adult. 

"You give me a reason to wake up in the morning. For that I'll be eternally grateful."
"Get out."

And then in the end of the episode she calls him Mr Crowder! That just delighted me. And I'll be frank, I expected Boyd to take the lead in this romance more than he did; in the end of the episode he's being very verbally emotionally honest but it's clearly Ava who lays one on him first. And then hugging at the end? To me, that so clearly showed how much they care about each other. (And if/when they have a sex scene, I am going to be VERY curious about how it's filmed. Watching the first season the show clearly showed the difference between Raylan's emotional investment in Ava versus Winona simply by how they filmed the love scenes, and I'm very curious about how they'd handle a Boyd/Ava sex scene. So show, get right on that, plz.) And also, I would ADORE the instrumental music that was playing as they kissed.
A hell of a lot of other stuff happened this episode but I'm tired and it's late so I'm just going to mention how much I loved the Mags and Helen scene. It reminded me of Winter's Bone in the level and respect it showed for the social power women in this society wield and the way in which they use it.

THIS. ALL OF THIS.

I agree whole-heartedly, and with the the most of all:

So yeah, Justified has established that Raylan Givens is a good lawman, but a bad marshall and a not the world's best boyfriend. That's how I like him.

Although, I'm not saying i would stay away from him. Goddamn you, Timothy Olyphant and your legs in pants. D:

Oh and also this:

My life is currently structured around Wednesday night at 10. It's a sad story.

DD: I mean... :DDDDDDD

Yeah, I can make that claim with confidence because I'm so very socially awkward that the rush of pheromones I'd get from Raylan hitting on he would short circuit my brain, prompting far more awkward squawking than even my normal level of awkwardness. By the time I got comfortable enough around him to operate normally, I'd notice his personality quirks!

On the other hand, since the thing that the first thing I notice about men is vocabulary, I might do something regrettable with Boyd before I fully notice his tattoos.

LOL! Yeah, that would definitely be an "oh, shit" moment. But after that you'll find out he's (sort of) reformed. :P

I'd do something regrettable with Boyd, only I wouldn't regret a damn thing. ...although I also wouldn't tell anyone, ever.
