_{ladies of interest challenge: sameen shaw — listen.}

#this is probably my favourite thing about Shaw in relation to Root#in my head Root is a Cassandra-like prophet#and again and again we see Harold not listening to what she says#and then everyone suffering the consequences#but Shaw ~listens#every single time#she scoffs and rolls her eyes and grunts and acts as if she doesn’t care#but never once has she failed to listen to Root#and I think that’s both intensely beautiful#and crucial to the development of Root’s feelings (via ohthesefeelingz)

       it’s absolutely part of why root fell so hard for shaw.  entirely on accident.  she sought vengeance for hanna for over a decade because nobody listened to her.  so when shaw comes along and grumbles at root’s over the top flirting to mess with her.  but listens so well to everything root says.  root never even stood a chance.  root x shaw.  these two idiots are perfect for each other.
