This one's for @epersonae: a lovely mid-century shot of the inside of LA's Union Station.

#i love when the show gives us these little stock footage scenes #they're so gorgeous #and such time capsules #the inside of that station was just stunning #perry mason #architecture #la union station

And don’t refer to him as Charlie or Chuck either…

#mash #charles emerson winchester iii #hawkeye pierce #you mean this isn't actual show dialogue?

Sir, why do you look like a 3-year-old who has just discovered pockets? It's adorable, but maybe not the most authoritative move for a lawyer.

#perry mason #raymond burr #my beloved sexy rectangle #he goes from little kid to sexy hands in .6 seconds #i just love him so much #tcot candy queen

i'm going to tell my kids this is the tortured poets department

#della street #barbara hale #the joke had to be made #della makes using a typewriter look good #and also bad #what is that typing style girl? #(barbara never learned to take shorthand so why would she have learned to type?) #also #let's be real #of the trio #della is the least angsty #if any of them are writing tortured poetry #my money is on perry #they're definitely a trio of modern idiots though #perry mason #(i am a taylor swift fan don't @ me)

cursive neon is such a vibe

god bless

Finally giffed this insane scene that apparently only exists to remind all of us how incredibly fit and sexy William Hopper is and boy oh boy where do I even start…

Shoulders 🤤

Chest 👀

Legs 🥵

THIGHS 🥵😳

Chest hair 🫠

His tight little butt 😤

The patch of hair at the back of his neck 🫣

FRECKLES 🥴

His TUMMY 👅👅👅

The fact that those itty bitty white shorts are hiding NOTHING 😫😩🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

#paul drake #william hopper #sir #how dare? #i mean #jesus christ #op you did the lord's work with this gif set #that last one #when he's pulling out of the pool #that is pornographic #perry mason

[frommybookbook]

I feel like I need to go to confession after watching this scene and I'm not even Catholic. But I mean, Perry in his pajamas, with the top unbuttoned practically to his navel, and in his robe, and Paul returning to their SHARED hotel room in the middle of the night? Come. On.

#perry mason #paul drake #i just can't look at raymond burr in that outfit and not think impure thoughts #and william hopper in that jacket is always a classic #tcot feathered cloak

[frommybookbook]

Sure, Paul, that's a perfectly normal way to carry your sunglasses.

#paul drake jr #perry mason #william katt made so many choices with his sunglasses in the movies #and i will just never ever ever be over that HAIR #tcot avenging ace

Top 5 Perry Mason episodes (just gut instinct, not a deep dive)

Make me pick my favorite child, why don't you? Off the top of my head, little to no thinking, I'd have to say: 1. TCOT Baited Hook 2. TCOT Fan Dancer's Horse 3. TCOT Moth-Eaten Mink 4. TCOT Prudent Prosecutor 5. TCOT Drowsy Mosquito

#perry mason #the first season is really just about perfect from top to bottom #and then a hamilton-centric episode because my poor little meow meow #and lastly one where paul and perry both show an inordinate amount of chest hair

[frommybookbook]

put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer ok go

[frommybookbook]

I'm sorry, is anyone cooler and more suave than Paul Drake? I think not.

#paul drake #william hopper #the way he's leaning against that dresser #jesus christ #the man oozes sex #i'm willing to overlook the fact that he's broken into this woman's home #and is trying to trick her and lie to her #because god damn #look at him #tcot lover's gamble

[frommybookbook]

I know we only ever see him lose to Perry but I can easily see why he's been elected at least 3 times (based on term length for an LA county DA and the length of the show). I love to hate Hamilton Burger.

politician Hamilton is my favorite

#hamilton burger #william talman #this set is really helping me think about the hamilton POV fic i have in mind #so thank you for your help op #this is great

[frommybookbook]

I just love her face, OK?

#della street #barbara hale #her EYES #they were just so damn expressive #and huge #and she was so gorgeous

Bless you, Daniel Craig.

A lot of people have talked about Benoit Blanc’s accent. Was he always going to sound like that, was that in the original script?

#daniel craig #benoit blanc #this man is a treasure #and we don't deserve him

most of these were suggested in the tags here

#i'm never going to turn down a baseball game #as long as sisko doesn't try to mansplain to me we'll be good #drinks with mccoy was a very VERY close second tho

Here we go, I finally published my latest story, "Untie the Knot". AKA, "The Case of the Six-Week Vacation".

#perry mason #della street #perry mason fic #aka the divorce fic no one asked for #this one took a while to get right #and it wouldn't have been possible without elaine's help #this idea infiltrated my mind #and wouldn't go away #and now it's completely reshaped my interpretation of these characters forever #laura writes
