YOU CAN'T OUTRUN ME, I'M WEARING TUBE SOCKS.
Lots of shows to talk about tonight (and I know I know I'm still behind on SPN, I'm SAVING IT) but here we go: Tonight's NCIS, yesterday's H5O, and next week's H5O. I got tired, it's just NCIS. H5O tomorrow.
So. NCIS.
SOMETIMES I FORGET HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SHOW AND THEN THEY GIBBS-SMACK ME UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH AN EPISODE LIKE THIS. OHHHHHHHHH TONY. OH GIBBS.
Before last season, the only episode I could've told you I wanted was one where Tony's dad would get in trouble--something to do with NCIS--and Gibbs would sit that asshole and explain to him what a good person and even better cop this unworthy idiot had for a son, and they'd square off and fight a little bit and my Tibbs shipping heart would grow three sizes.
Well last season, that happened. Like they'd plucked it out of my brain. And I never even thought to ask for anything else, because things like that only happen once in a lifetime (or many many times in fanfiction).
Rambling point is, I NEVER THOUGHT THEY'D SHOW US TONY MEETING GIBBS FOR THE FIRST TIMMMME. I thought that was a thing we were always going to have to remember, and even though I saw the title of the episode was Baltimore, I didn't let my hope get up.
AND THEN IT HAPPENED.
AND IT WAS AWESOME.
AND IT WAS SHIPPYYYYY.
On a side-note, dodger_sister pointed me toward this post by thefourthvine titled No Heterosexual Explanation-- It is the moment when you try, you genuinely, seriously try to take off your slash goggles and figure out what the writers, producers, directors, and actors thought was happening in a scene, and you can only conclude that, no, they must have thought the same-sex pairing was doing it, too.
(Warning for Dean/Cas shippers in the comments. -__- I like to be warned about those sort of things.)
SO ANYWAY, GIBBS AND TONY.
You know what I love? That the first time Gibbs and Tony meet, Tony tackles him to the ground and straddles him.
And then Gibbs punches him in the face.
No worries, though. Gibbs likes being straddled. LOOK AT HIM SMIRKIN'.
So then DiNozzo writes about him in his diary little black cop book.
(But then he totally wrote in his actual fax diary:
NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION #1: EYEFUCKING.
I have no idea why Gibbs is the laughing grinning flirty smirky man his is in this scene. I HAVE NO IDEA. I mean, yes, he sort of has an ace up his sleeve, but that would mean staring down BOTH cops, right? He never breaks eye-contact with Tony. Ever.
And Tony? Does not mind.
We're going to ignore the fact that apparently the make-up artists believe that when you're younger, you have ginormous eyebrows. Idefk.
MOVING ON! Can we get a awwwwww helllll yeah! for ASH???
(Sorry about the shitty screancap, he was squirmy. Still business up front, party in the back, though.)
This entire scene--first when Tony says he found his phone at Blonde Whatserface's place (you know, the one he's sexing even though Gibbs expressly forbid him to, and who Tony has no chemistry with whatsoever? Yes, her), and he gets a look for that from Gibbs, no mistake. But then after, when the message is playing and ALL I CAN HEAR IS "I'm sorry I fucked up our less than heterosexual relationship, I'm sorry I couldn't see what was right in front of my eyes...." And I know, okay, I know part of this is the shipper in me? But SERIOUSLY, it sounds like a phone call from an apologetic ex, not an ex-partner.
LOOK AT TONY'S HEART-BROKEN FACE, POOR BABY! T____T
Still a BAMF, though. A BAMFILF. Despite the unfortunate length of his sideburns and wtf leather jacket.
It was at this moment right here, I shall never forget it, when I squeed out "AWWWWWWWWW BABY'S FIRST GIBBS-SMACK!!!!" with no shame, in front of my entire family.
And we're back to EYEFUCKING.
And here, okay, THE LEAST HETEROSEXUAL OF THEM ALL:
Gibbs pets Tony's face.
NO, OKAY, GIBBS PETS TONY'S FACE.
I DO NOT EVEN.
