Day 3, "Hands All Over"

There's no denying it: Whenever Donald and Tom got into a fight, it was anything goes and LOTS of physical contact. And look closely at frame #6: Tom had to get in the last "hit", the way he swatted Donald's arm while walking away. You guys just can't keep your paws off each other, can you? #Tessler

Day 8. Free theme.

You know, it seems we have to look up to the coolest guys in the hoos xD

Day Four: “I’ll Take Care of You”

Whump moments with your favs. If that’s not you jam, alternatively, you may show us the moments they care about each other.

Drexel remains one of my very favourite Blacklist episodes because of this storyline in it. Tom felt cornered and took a stupid risk that nearly got him killed. He knows it was dumb (and admits to it), Liz knows it was dumb, but it highlights what’s most important in their lives: each other. They were both terrified that they’d never see the other again because of it.

Hurt/comfort is one of my favourite genres because of the emotional discovery it lends to. The characters are pushed to the brink and they realize just what was actually at stake. For this episode with these characters, it only helped them grow stronger.

Day 5: “Come on Closer”. Henry Prescott/Donald Ressler.

I’ve already said too much about these two.

Day 7: “Crazy in Love”. Gay!Keenler aka Tom Keen/Donald Ressler

Day 8. If they're trying to diversify theirs personal life.

TBLRSW Day 7/Day 8

Red/Cooper

Whoop i did it! I'm surprised I made it this far. This was a lot of fun. Tho I am grouping these last 2 days together.

The gifs are from one of my fav red/cooper episodes.

I think I like this pairing as both a romantic and platonic relationship because of the dynamic they have. Mostly because it's a dynamic I dont often see between two older men in tv shows.

While they may not necessarily like the decisions the other makes all the time, they have an overlying respect and admiration for each other that surpasses all of their differences.

Also the way they're both super protective of each other is cute. See evidence: Cooper risking his career by threatening the president to stop Red's execution. Red putting his 30 year long "project" to save Cooper's life.

ALSO ALSO the way in this episode Cooper already suspects Red of being a Russian sleeper agent and still does everything in his power to save his life 💖

Ok I'm done.

***please this got flagged for some reason lmao

It's good now, but I think tumblr has something against my agenda.

FAQs

Q: What is it? A: It’s TBL Rare Ships Appreciation Week. Q: When it’s happening? A: The week will be held from 4th till 11th of April. 11th is the Bonus day. Total 8 (eight) days of celebrating your ship! Q: All ships are allowed, right? A: Rare ships are allowed. Meaning that two major ships of this fandom—keenler and lizzington—which already have their months and appreciation weeks, aren’t. We want the people who ship something else than mainstream ships be heard and seen. Q: What if I can’t participate, but I want to join? A: You can like/reblog edits! That also counts. Q: Is there any limit for number of posts per day? A: From our experience, if you’re doped enough, you can do 13 posts per day. Your eyes and back won’t thank you, though. Thus, the number of posts is up to you. You submit one—great. Submit 10? Great, too! Q: Can I take this event to other social media? A: Yes, you absolutely can! Q: Does my ship have to be canon for me to join? A: As long if it’s not a mainstream ship (Raymond Reddington x Liz Keen aka lizzington or Donald Ressler x Liz Keen aka keenler), you’re cool. We believe that canon isn’t the Holy Grail. You can bend it the way you want and ship anyone you want to. Q: I’m not into shipping people with people, but I want to join! :( A: No worries, we have a list of crackships where we ship our fav characters with things they can’t live without. Q: I don’t do graphics, but I write fics. Can I join? A: Your participation may include, but not limited to: manips, edits, fanarts, gifs, collages, fics, vids, screenshots, metas, poetry… Anything you wish. Q: I’m into kinky stuff. Not sure I can share it here… A: You can, and you should. Nothing to be ashamed of. Make sure you tag it #NSFW. Q: I can’t participate all 8 days :( A: You may participate at your own pace—one day, two, three, all 8, only support with likes or reblogs. No pressure.

If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Since Tumblr sometimes is being, well, Tumblr, here is the separate post for you to have easier access both from desktop and Tumblr mobile app.

Have fun creating, and see you on April, 4th!

Day 1: “When I First Saw You”

The scene which made you fall in love with your ship/the first scene your favs meet each other.

Day 2: “Damn Your Eyes”

Is it a stolen glance, seductive gaze, or shameless stare which makes your heart beat faster?

Day 3: “Hands All Over”

They hold hands? Their fingers brush for an instant? Or they are hungry for touch?

Day 4: “The Things You Do Aren’t Good For My Health” or “I’ll Take Care of You”

Whump moments with your favs. If that’s not you jam, alternatively, you may show us the moments they care about each other.

Day 5: “Come on Closer”

Are your favs social distancing these days? Or is it, “ Personal space? What space?”

Day 6: “Nectar Like Lips”// “Whisper My Name”

Did they kiss? They are about to kiss? They are on first-name basis? Their interactions give you tingles?

Day 7: “Crazy in Love”

Tell us what they mean to you, and why you ship them. Use a song, quote, or any scene you think sheds a light on the essence of their relationship.
