Root has ear pain from time to time but ignores it. Shaw ignores her when Root asks why Shaw is microwaving a dish towel, but then takes the warm towel and gently places it against Root’s ear. Root has never felt better in her life.
Awww! I can just picture her laying it over her ear, sighing in relief for a moment and then of course “I love it when you play doctor.”
Root can speak Farsi. Shaw doesn’t know that.
I like to think that Shaw uses her Farsi very sparingly, like it’s some sort of secret. Harold and John have never heard her use it outside of the field, Root gets little whispers of it when Shaw thinks she’s sleeping though. After the first few times, Root resolves to learn the language because she’s dying to know what Shaw says to her when she’s laying awake in the middle of the night.
shaw will basically do anything for root if she gives her the pout.
It takes her a shamefully long time, but eventually Shaw figures out that if she cocks her head to the side a little and gives Root her biggest, saddest eyes, she can have the same effect. She mostly uses her newfound power for food, kinky sex acts, and fancy new weapons in that order.
for the analysis of any complex number, the real (Re) and imaginary (Im) parts can be represented separately on the complex plane.

#here we go again #if we separate the dependent and independent variables of shaw and root’s complex relationship #with the independent variable being root and her ridiculousness #and the dependent variable being shaw’s reaction to said ridiculosity #and mapping them out on a complex plane #it can be seen that root’s shameless flirting is the (Re) real part #and shaw’s grumpy reactions are the (Im) imaginary part #in other words #shaw’s grumpiness is imaginary because she and root are in love #the end #this wasn’t intended to be a thing but now i suppose it is #in my head there’s a disappointed voice saying ‘jennifer. jennifer why’ #but there’s no RULE AGAINST HAVING FUN WITH MATH #even tho this pairing is now 1% fun and 99% pain and tears #root x shaw #lee i hope you know this is 100% your fault #a how to guide for making ships as nerdy as possible #f(shoot) = liferuiners (via perkypsycho)
Practice.I made references to Nicolas Uribe’s work.
#you know i have this idea#that when Shaw comes back#Root will not want to let her out of her sight#and she might even want to cling herself to Shaw while they sleep#but i know Shaw wouldn’t let her#she wouldn’t let herself be the little spoon EVER#so she’ll tell Root to get over it#that she’s back and she’s fine#and in that night is Shaw who finds herself wanting to protect Root in their sleep#so Root doesn’t have to hurt ever again#after all#she’s the one who does the protecting#right?#that night is the first night in months that Root has slept so soundly#wrapped in the arms of the woman she can’t live without ( via whiteknightswan)
Yeah sure, Root, maybe someday. Is that good enough for you?
Yes, Sameen. That’s good enough for me.#GOD FUCKIGN DAMNIT #ROOT’S DAMN EYES IN THOSE GIFS FUCKING KILL ME #LIKE SHE IS LITERALLY OVERFLOWING WITH HAPPINESS AT THE MERE BREADCRUMB OF HOPE FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH SHAW #LIKE FUCK CAN YOU NOT #I’M HONEST TO GOT NOT SURE I’VE EVER SEEN ANOTHER CHARACTER ON TV THAT WAS SO OVERJOYED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING WITH THE PERSON THEY LOVED #LIKE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT USUALLY A RELATIONSHIP WHERE IT’S A PURSUER-TYPE THING (AND I HESITATE TO CALL ROOT THAT BUT FOR SIMPLICITY’S SAKE) #WHEN THEY LEARN THEY STAND A CHANCE THEY’RE FULL OF PRIDE LIKE THEY’VE WON SOMETHING #THAT’S NOT ROOT’S REACTION. THIS ENTIRE REACTION IS ‘I MIGHT GET A CHANCE TO BE WITH THIS A M A Z I N G WOMAN #I MIGHT BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET TO TOUCH AND KISS AND HUG HER #REALLY???’ #SHE IS HONEST TO GOD LOSING HER SHIT AT SHAW’S WORDS AND LIKE #JUST DON’T TOUCH ME (via doctormechanic)
no but the thing is it’s *not* about happiness at maybe getting a chance to be with shaw. because in this scene she *knows* she’s about to die. she knows there’s no getting out of it and she knows this is the last time she’ll ever get to talk to shaw. and that’s why she pushes the question of their relationship. because normally she respects shaw’s boundaries but since this is literally the last moment she’ll ever have. she allows herself to push just that little bit more. and her absolute sunshiney happiness isn’t because she’ll get her chance to be with shaw – she knows she never will. it’s because shaw’s telling her that there is in fact something there between them. that sameen ‘I don’t care about people’ shaw is basically checking the ‘yes’ box on root’s do you like me note. root who had thought for so long that everyone was just bad code and found herself accidentally falling for this tiny grump. and never wanted shaw to be anything more than she is because what she is is perfect to root. she was asking shaw in her last moments of life to tell her that she’s not alone. and
the knowledge that professional grumpypants sameen shaw would choose to
be there with her in a future that they’ll never have. *that* is what is good enough for root. and it’s the most heartbreaking and beautiful thing and that simulation will haunt me for the rest of my days.
Root trying to figure out how Shaw got out of her cuffs.
what I really love is how she had just been sitting there in the same position she’d been in when Shaw got up. like she was just frozen from sheer awe of Shaw’s cuteness and had to sit there staring at the space she used to occupy, trying to process her capital-f Feelings.
#sameen ‘ahahahaha my girlfriend is a sucker i can get her to do anything for me’ shaw#root already has a limited life expectancy span but shaw just managed to shave off a few years by stressing root the fuck out#root is freaking out like omg since when am i the responsible one???? this is not what i signed up for#like shaw has driven her to huff and puff in irritation AMAZING#also the manhandling and how shaw allows it though lbr she’s too busy being smug LOOK AT THAT SHIT EATING GRIN#she is getting so much life out of annoying root by getting her way#what an asshole (via twistdmentality)
remember how root is always always unshakeable? lol
