THE FLIRTATION WAS TOO STRONG!!!: Reading between the lines
“You waiting for me?”
did you miss me?
“No.”
no (yes, but i won’t say i did)
[hesitant disappointment. trying to find the words.]
(i’m hurt. have i lost you?)
“I bet he told you I was dead”
I know he’s trying to separate us
“Diamondback got to you, didn’t he?”
Did it work? Are you with him now? Do you love him?
“No he didn’t it.”
No! That’s not what I said! I missed you okay!
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME ON THIS FINE THURSDAY MORNING?
OKAY OKAY OKAY LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SCENE!
I thought the first time I watched that part with Shades in the elevator that Diamondback was going to kill him. I kept thinking even after he killed Zip that he wouldn’t make it out of that episode alive.
AND THEN THE FIRST THING HE DOES IS HE GOES TO MARIAH!
Why? Because he trusts her. I and after he that I was like “fucking hell he might actually have a chance” because I knew Mariah would help him and take care of him.
And when he gives her the bottle he was putting his life in her hands.That’s how I knew they were ride or die right there! And my villain-loving shipper heart was like:
And I’ve been that way ever since.
I was thinking about how he worked for her well-being. He never told Diamondback Mariah killed Cornell (though he did say they used Candace to pin the murder on Luke).
When I was watching ep13 yesterday (correct me if I’m wrong) he got the phone and he didn’t tell Mariah. She had Alex get Them I down and she was playing politician, but as far as I recall there was not a moment of “oh I have Misty’s phone and this is what I’m gonna do” which if you watch Mariah’s interrogation scene, it seemingly comes as a bit of a surprise to her.
Long story short, he took care of business for Mariah. He just went and did what needed to be done. Shades essentially acted alone in Candace’s murder.
****people who have the misfortune of never sailing on a villain ship are missing out on one of life’s great pleasures****
Yes he helped her and he came to her when he needed her help and he did both of those things because he was over the moon for her. I love ships that are built on that type of trust and respect. Especially when it’s with villains.
Because its like “why can’t I be schemefully evil and also a lover?”
So many of Shades’ conversations were just about scheming and what might happen.
Also villain ships get that “you and me against the world” feel to them
