#it's a very distinctive smile okay – @wolves-in-the-world on Tumblr

your name is nathan ford, the angel on your right shoulder is telling you you don't need rehab, and the angel on your left is telling you you need revenge <3

wolves-in-the-world

actually I've placed it now and this is exactly the kind of smile eliot uses when baiting people into attacking him. it's his "I'm gonna have a good time being a bad man" smile, we just don't really see it outside the context of imminent violence, which is why it startled me here, and which is why it's so good.

it's "let's go get you some vengeance." it's "I know what you need to feel whole again and it's to go whale on the person who hurt you." it's "you're gonna have a good time being a bad man and I'm gonna have a good time being a part of it."

("screw therapy, that felt really good," as maggie put it later.)

#I'd forgotten how wonderfully broken they all are and friends it's a delight #it took seeing eliot fighting with the mob to put this together but he does a bit of it with first david job quinn too #it's a. for fuck's sake #it's a very distinctive smile okay #eliot #+#absolutely no-one needs these thoughts I'm just having fun with it #bless this show for the emotional catharsis; I'm remembering why this was exactly what my brain needed a few years ago
