10 Reasons why Beth belongs to Mick and 15 reasons why Mick belongs to Beth, in pictures

[alexandral]

I really liked the last episode. There was no Josef and no Coraline but the last scene between Beth and Mick with TEARS in their eyes and much angst and Mick saying "you know why this can't work out" and meaning – "because I am a monster and because I'll only hurt you so you must stay away as everyone I care about gets hurt" made me cry. The scene was beautiful and symbolic as the sun was rising at the same time as Beth was kissing Mick and they both were trying to keep their tears away.. AWWWWWWW!

I was temped into Mick and Coraline in the previous episode but NO!! Beth belongs to Mick and Mick belongs to Beth!!!

And if this is not a proof than what is - they are completely mirroring each other:




Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. Albert Einstein
There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. George Sand
If I know what love is, it is because of you. Herman Hesse

Mick belongs to Beth , because:

1. He was so afraid she will see him as a monster! He was so vulnerable and full of angst when she found out his blood-drinking habits!



2. Photographic evidence: There was a super-nova born at exact time when Beth gave her blood to Mick in the wilderness (please notice the bright spot in the middle of the screencap below). This huge surge of energy can not be ignored!



3. Mick tries to avoid talking about this but they have some kind of supernatural connection that goes beyond pure attraction after Beth's blood donation. He said so himself in his voiceover! He feels her beating heart!



4. She even drives him dorky!



5. He avoids Beth's attempts at sex conversations. My limited experience with men tells me that the only thing they are always ready to talk about is sex. So – strange?? More than strange!




6. He had the cutest of smiles known to a woman when she kissed him – as ladytiramisu said, I wish a guy would make that expression for me!



7. And he wanted to have drug-filled sex with her, he really did. Beth was SO silly to break the spell between them and run upstairs.



8. He watches her stealthily, and often. With a silly lovelorn grin on his face.



9. He tells her how awesome she is. All the time. "You are a survivor" – isn't this a confession?



10. He tells her "my casa your casa". Why would a man talk Spanish to a girl he doesn't love obsessively?



11. She makes him smile, even when he is feeling uneasy about leaving his house in her snooping hands and going to war with a crazy vampire revolutionary. He just can't help himself around her.



12. By neuriel : He knew as soon as he heard her voice that she was freaked out about something (when he calls after she finds photos of herself in Mick's office). Aw, he knows her so well.



13. His first thought after falling off a cliff, losing his fancy electronic device and being badly damaged is "Beth!"



14. She makes him cry. He is a 85-year old vampire and she makes him cry like a baby (and me too!!!) with her "You are my guardian angel" talk.



15. When he tries to warn her off, just in a vain 100-something attempt again, he does it very unconvincingly. VERY!!



Beth belongs to Mick , because:

1. Beth talks about Mick in her sleep, when she is in bed with attractive-looking vest-wearer Josh.



2. She pulled a stake out of him. Imagine what could have happened if she didn't?



3. She gave him her blood!! Her Blood! I totally would have thought twice about doing any such things! This looks like it hurts!



4. And she didn't pretend to forget it, saying "Oh, I give blood all the time. I am a blood donor" or something like this.



5. She gives him steamy "As you wish" line whilst locking her eyes with his.



6. She wants to talk about sex with him. A perfectly legitimate idea, Beth, we need to know if there are any unexpected differences in vampire anatomy.



5. She kissed him. FIRST!! Squeeeeeeeee!



6. Their conversation seems to be filled with innuendoes. "I was more worried about the size". Heeeee! I have a dirty mind sometimes, I apologise.



7. Beth mirrors Mick and Mick mirrors Beth. He makes me laugh here – he stares at Beth's hand as if he wants to say "What is THIS?".



8. When Mick's wife is back Beth is heart-broken. I can't find a joke here – she is so sad and lonely because she has to listen to his talk about Coraline, always Coraline.



9. This is a kind of smile she gives to Mick's ex-wife: "I am going to smile to you because there are many people around us but when we are alone I am going to do STAB! And some more stab!



10. She smells his clothes!!



PS: Feel free to add any more reasons. Reasons for why Mick belongs to Coraline are not accepted in this post. :D

Mick could never belong to Coraline because she is evol! That's all anyone needs to know. Well, that and she doesn't make him make dorky faces and give brilliant and adorable smiles.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Exactly!!! And Caroline should show her evil side soon!! Mick should see her for what she is! Because I can't stand him getting wind up about Caroline after having this fabulous sun-rise scene with Beth. And Beth is so great and totally doesn't deserve it! (as you can tell, may be - I am getting really quite worried here! :D)

[roni2727.livejournal.com]

I think you've summed it up quite nicely why they belong together! That scene of them with mirroring images jumped out at me when it was on screen. LOL at the looks like it hurts line! I bet!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I love the way their relationship is developing - this is so wonderful! No long episodes of UST! No dragging! But I am so afraid of the next few episodes. I think there will be something with Caroline.. I am even afraid to watch next episode's preview..

[earlgrayhot.livejournal.com]

OMB ... Beth's #6 ... I'm so glad I'm not the only one whose brain resides in the gutter where these two are concerned LOL

Excellent post *thumbsup* and so true! She sniffs his clothes, they mirror each others positions, they stealthily give each other love-lorn looks ... they're just meant for each other *sigh*.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

OMB ... Beth's #6 ... I'm so glad I'm not the only one whose brain resides in the gutter where these two are concerned LOL

Hee! I am glad!! It is not our fault - these two are just so hit together!

She sniffs his clothes, they mirror each others positions, they stealthily give each other love-lorn looks ... they're just meant for each other *sigh*.

The sniffing of his clothes is so my thing, one of the things that always "get" me. I remember Scully doing it when Mulder disappeared.. ** sigh **

And thank you!!!!!!!!

[iansmomesq.livejournal.com]

BRAVO!!!!!!

Love the joke about the "size." *giggles like a mad thing*


13. His first thought after falling off a cliff, losing his fancy electronic device and being badly damaged is "Beth!"

AHA HOW TRUE HE LOOOOOVES HER!!!!!!!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

AHA HOW TRUE HE LOOOOOVES HER!!!!!!!

He seems to be so in denial, though. Wake up, Mick! Stop thinking you are a monster!!! It is like his monster side is drawn to Caroline and his "Mick" side is drawn to Beth. I am so afraid of the upcoming episodes...

[the-lost-queen.livejournal.com]

oh my...

the pic where they are mirroring each other's body posture is amaaazing!

but the one that gets me is the one I least expected too,
the pic where Beth smells his clothes...

I don't know exactly why this pic get's me over the others.

If I had to say I think it would be something in the whole murking primal 'smelling of the object of you desire's clothes' thing which can either be "eeew!' inducing or have heart fluttering overtones.

Ok enough over analyzing ;) am done.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

but the one that gets me is the one I least expected too,
the pic where Beth smells his clothes...
I don't know exactly why this pic get's me over the others.

This is what gets me the most too - it is so sensual sometimes and at the same time it is a pure love thing (and sometimes people I knew do it to the clothes of their babies. Babies smell so lovely. :D). I don't find it at all "ewwww" - it is just the thing about smells and memories, as earlgreayhot said.

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

I'm so in love with this post that I'm giddy. My favorite reason? She drives him dorky. Hee. So cute.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I love this too - as any tragic hero Mick tends to brood but Beth gets him out of this soooo easily. She makes him happy!

[neuriel.livejournal.com]

Great reasons! I'd like to add one more reason why Mick and Beth belong together: He knew as soon as he heard her voice that she was freaked out about something (when he calls after she finds photos of herself in Mick's office). Aw, he knows her so well.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I love this reason - and it so true. With late-night pursuits I forgot one of the reasons and I am going to add this one. If you I a fine with this - I 'll credit !!!

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

oh awesome post!!

but under "Mick belongs to Beth , because:" you forgot #3. *hee*

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you liked!!! EEE! I and thank you so much!! I guess I should do less of late-night obsessing over TV shows. :D. But it is good - I have one empty slot for neuriel's reason which is awesome.

In unconnected - I am so afraid of things to come I could not sleep properly. Go away, Coraline!!

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

HEEE! lOVE LOVE love!! and btw - the other episodes of Goong arrives, so THANK you so much!! I am still half madly-stark-ravingly-mad obsessed with it, so this is good. :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

HEEEEE! I love that you love!!! They belong together!! Mick is in denial and I wish he wasn't - they can't fight this, it will be wrong. :D You see - I am very obsessed too! I am not REALLY worried because I think the creators meant for Mick and Beth to be together , but - what if this happens before the show is canceled or something????????

the other episodes of Goong arrives, so THANK you so much!! I am still half madly-stark-ravingly-mad obsessed with it, so this is good. :)

EEEEE! I am so so glad - though it seemed to take longer. Must be increasing post traffic before Christmas. I hope you are not still obsessed by Yul (even though he broke my heart somewhere at the end). :D

[lincolnimp.livejournal.com]

wow! you're amazing! ^^ much love for this post :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am glad you like the post! Mick and Beth eating my brains! I am pretty sure they will be together at the end, but - how much angst we have to suffer???

[(Anonymous)]

this was great! love them both! <3

but. it's Albert Einstein and not Elbert Einstein. =)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, anonymous! Thank you for the tip : Too much obsessing over TV shows = late nights = major problems. Thank you!

[stabbim.livejournal.com]

There was a super-nova born at exact time when Beth gave her blood to Mick in the wilderness

ROFL!!! You rock, you know that?

I'd like to friend you, if you don't mind. These analyses of yours make my days more than a little brighter, I think there might be a super-nova being born whenever you post one of these little gems of yours! Please keep them coming. :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I'd like to friend you, if you don't mind.

Please do - no need to ask! I am adding you too! EEEEEEEEEE!

But on a serious note, I think there is some serious supernatural connection now between Mick and Beth and Mick is trying to hide it. As if he can "feel" Beth and tune to her much better than to the rest of people. This of course just makes him feel he has to stay way as he is endangering her. ** sigh **

[timescout.livejournal.com]

You made another one! Great - I do love your pictoreal evidence. *g* Good stuff, good stuff.

7. Beth mirrors Mick and Mick mirrors Beth. He makes me laugh here – he stares at Beth's hand as if he wants to say "What is THIS?".

This is such a great scene. LOL! for the "what is this" comment. He totally looks like that.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

This is such a great scene. LOL! for the "what is this" comment. He totally looks like that.

The funny thing is - he looks like that with Beth A LOT of of the time! She always manages to surprise him (and me too :D). Like when he was so cranky (and naughty!) about NOT touching his stuff she just said something spontaneous about Alice in wonderland and he was DONE FOR..

[sarisynn.livejournal.com]

I think I might have another reason... from the first ep, when they were both at the dead girl's funeral, when Mick's in the car, and Beth puts her hand on his to stop him... he has this complete look of, "OMG she's touching me!!!!" on his face.

Or maybe I just think that's a cute moment.

IMO the best moment was last week, with the sun and the balcony and the crying. I'm just sitting there going, OH MY GOD!!!!

I haven't seen the promos for the new episode yet, so I have no idea what's going on. I maintain that Coraline is evil and Mick should kill her for real this time. Or maybe Beth should. That would be interesting. Albeit unlikely.

Anyways, I found this a highly enjoyable post.

And this has nothing to do with anything else, but I like your banner picture there at the top and the little poem on the side (Alexandra Leaving?)

EEEEEEE! I love this – I was going to put this one in, actually (great minds think alike, he-he!) but there were so many other ones too that I mainly limited this post for more recent things from the last episode and around.. This was a GREAT moment – it always startles Mick when Beth touches him.

IMO the best moment was last week, with the sun and the balcony and the crying. I'm just sitting there going, OH MY GOD!!!!

I was crying, but I was crying some time ago (the BATH SCENE!) too . :D

I maintain that Coraline is evil and Mick should kill her for real this time. Or maybe Beth should. That would be interesting. Albeit unlikely.

I think she is very manipulative and she is very possessive of Mick. But I hope it will not be him who will have to kill her. I don't wish this burden on him again. I just wish he found out that Morgan is Coraline SOON!

And this has nothing to do with anything else, but I like your banner picture there at the top and the little poem on the side (Alexandra Leaving?)

The header is from Dante Gabriel Rossetti, La Pia de' Tolomei. I love this painting! "Alexandra Leaving" is the song by Leonard Cohen but he translated it from Cavafy's poem "The God Abandons Anthony". I love both - Constantinos P. Cavafy is amazing!

i went crazy.... memming 'f course!
and let me just tell you that I love you! *hugs*
<3<3<3

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad that you enjoying it! Mick a Beth are one of the most epic couples in the history of EVER!

[angelcure.livejournal.com]

Beautiful post! They belong together 100%! I love them so much, Coraline must go go go!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!!!!! I can't get over the parallel between Beth and sun - Mick feels he has to run away but he longs for it.. ** sniff **

[cryssiemarsters.livejournal.com]

I really enjoy this post :))

Why do they belong together? they save each other again and again!! That creates a bond for life.

Also Beth cries heartbreakingly when she thinks Mick died in the desert. Would she cry the same way for Josh? Don't think so.

And Mick belongs to Beth cos she "claimed" him - he had her blood in his system, it took back to "unlife".

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!!

She was really sad – I think this was the time she realized how much Mick means to her. There is not stop on her now. :D

I wonder when they explain this more to us- there definitely must be more about their connection with each other. I want to know more about the blood bond!!!

[diapadme.livejournal.com]

OMG! *loves, loves, loves, loves, LOVES this picspam*
Will put this to my memories because this is made of awsome. Haha, I needed that right now, thank you so much!

I really liked the last episode. There was no Josef and no Coraline but the last scene between Beth and Mick with TEARS in their eyes and much angst and Mick saying "you know why this can't work out" and meaning – "because I am a monster and because I'll only hurt you so you must stay away as everyone I care about gets hurt" made me cry. The scene was beautiful and symbolic as the sun was rising at the same time as Beth was kissing Mick and they both were trying to keep their tears away.. AWWWWWWW!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so (and I guess, there are many more) The last scene was terrificaly beautiful. Oh and that was exactly the one line I didn't catch. He was mumbling a little, when he said that. But that's just perfect. I would have never ever expected I could fall in love with Mick/Beth even more. But that scene did it. *sigh* Oh dear. So much love on this show...

Again, thank you for this lovely picspam.

I was re-winding this scene again and again. :D He was mumbling because he didn't mean it, I think. He didn't have any strength to say it but he thought he "HAD TO". ** sigh **

[avictoriangirl]

OMG, #10! *flails* #10 is MORE than enough reason that they belong together! ♥

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

This have been done before - but never stops to "get" me. Beth also did it so in passing-by fashion as if this is something she was doing unconsciously..

[taylor-elle.livejournal.com]

Great job! That smile after the first kiss was so adorable. I kept rewinding.

Beth and Mick are so meant to be together. Their chemistry is amazing. "She smells his clothes"...hee hee

I love the "you're jealous" scene too. They mesh so well.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you liked!!

I love the "you're jealous" scene too. They mesh so well.

That was so wonderful - Mick seem to have a whole range of facial expressions reserved especially for Beth. He seems to be so much in denial, poor thing!!!

WOW!

[stephenlc4life.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting! Love all the reasons/pix/etc...

Mick/Beth belong together...

I think the chemistry between Alex and Sophia is what makes this show amazing...It's a real love story. It's a rare thing that we see on tv these days....

Personally, I'm tired of triangles...they exist on every single show. The shipper in me doesn't like Coraline coming back...however, Shannyn is a regular castmember indeed. I'd hope they'd find another love interest for Coraline...

Another good reason:

She makes him happy! In episode seven, Mick admits to Josef that Beth is the reason why he's happy...

To me that is the biggest reason of all!

Re: WOW!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so gald you enjoyed this!

** nods ** the show is so lucky to have such great actors and so matching to each other. The girl that was supposed to play the Beth's part before Sophia was awful!

I like love triangles, when they are well done. But I usually end up rooting for everyone and wanting everyone to be happy., As you I like when "the third wheel" falls in love with a new, non-love-triangle person. Josef and Caroline will do nicely for me. :D

She makes him happy! In episode seven, Mick admits to Josef that Beth is the reason why he's happy...

I MUST RE-WATCH THIS! THIS IS SO GOOD!

[endlessdeep.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaawwwww! He really does love her. I loved it when Beth smelled his sweater.

I think you are right that something magical happened when Mick drank Beth's blood. I am reading these vampire novels by Charlaine Harris and the main female character in the book, who is human, has to drink some vampire blood from a vampire and now he can feel her emotions. Not to give too much away about the book. So yeah, I think Mick might have something similar going on with Beth.

Mick's feelings for Morgaline are so different from what he feels for Beth. I don't even know if there is any love there, just fascination. Morgaline is a femme fatal, that's all there is to it. Why men don't see through these women I don't know. I suppose men like them for the same reasons women like bad boys. :) *shrug*

Oh, I like that – I need to find these books, it seems!

I am not sure if he loves her or not too – sometimes a person can love two people at once (with two different types of love) but I wonder what this is. I think there are two sides in Mick, one is his dark side and this side "loves" Caroline. As much as a "dark" person can love, of course – it is mostly just obsession and sexual thing. But real Mick , his real side, loves Beth,,

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I think this is officially the sweetest, cutest, funniest, shippiest post ever.

It's so odd, I never thought I'd get a new ship, all out of the blue, but here it is :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much - you made me so happy with your comment! Mick and Beth is my BIG thing of the moment. I don't often get attached to female heroines as I am to Beth.
