SVY characters when asked to hold a baby:

——-

Rafael, awkward stance, holding it like it’s dangerous:….If you sit still, I sit still—I hate this just as much as you do-

…

Rafael:…Wanna write a pre trial motion?

Olivia in the other room: HES 1!

Rafael: I DONT KNOW- WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH HIM!

—-

Alex: Hi!! Oh you’re just the cutest thing!

Also Alex:…Also this suit is Prada so I have a strict no drooling poli—NO NO NO CASEY COME BACK- CASEY- CASEY PLEASE HAVE MERCY—

—-

Casey: Alex calm down! Jeeze- They are so uptight—Your just chillin- a chill guy.

Casey: See! I like you, you’re not overly huggy like kids, and annoying like adults, we can chill.

Casey: us gingers have to stick together—these people are either bald or basic- and MEAN-

Happy baby, happy Casey

Eliot: Oh hell no- I TOLD KATHY NO MORE- SERIOUSLY WOMAN WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM DO YOU HAVE!?

Eliot:…Wait- Little man, what are your thoughts on ED Tucker?

Baby: *smile*

Elliot:Nope- nada- NOPE-definitely not my kid- FALSE ALARM- Casey take your twin ba—

Fin, baby talking, 100% grandpa energy: Your the cutest kid, huh? Rafael is just an uptight lawyer— your amazing with uncle fin, huh?

—-

Olivia:awwww! Hi sweetie,

Olivia…Why does it look like Casey-

Casey: JUST BECAUSE ITS A REDHEAD DOSENT MEAN ITS MINE!

Olivia: YOU ARE THE FATHER-

Casey: FATHER??? WHAT GENDER ROLES ARE WE PUSHING HERE?!

—-

Munch: They aren’t teaching the youth about our government anymore, so back in the day after the JFK assassination—-

Casey: OH HELLLL NO- GIVE ME MINI CASEY BACK-

—-

I feel for the IAB officer that had to look at the absolutely diabolical shit Elliot stabler did- love him but OH. MY. GOD.

That officer just wants to see his family- BUT HE CANT BECAUSE ELLIOT THREW A SUSPECT (probably not even the actual perpetrators) OUT A WINDOW OR INTO A WALL- OR DROVE THEM INTO A PSYCHOTIC BREAK-

I can just imagine Cragen pulling his nonexistent hair out every time it happens-

Cragen:…Novak you do it-

Novak: why me-?! He’s your detective! I just got here! I walked in here 30 minutes ago and I’m already positive I need to watch my back now! Something about Alex Cabot- cabenson- somth-

Cragen, absolutely done with his unruly children : ELLIOT GET YOUR ASS IN MY OFFICE-

The Squad playing ‘pass the phone’

Casey: I’m passing the phone to someone who dated a walking red flag with a receding hairline line on and off since season 1.

Olivia:…OKAY CAS—

Olivia: I’m passing the phone to someone who has IAB fighting for their lives.

Eliot:…I’m not that bad! That’s an exaggeration- anyway, I’m passing the phone to someone who KEEPS DISAPPEARING FOR SOME STRANGE ASS REASON-

Alex: I HAD A REASON! MOST OF THE TIME- Anyway, I’m passing the phone to the bodyguard of the squad, love you fin!

Fin: I’ll take that, anyways I’m passing the phone to the bony ass that refuses to retire-

Munch:…First of all-

Munch: what ever, You know back in the day in the—

(John say the line!!)

Munch: fine! I’m passing the phone to someone whose hair has been left at an AA meeting for the past 30 years-

Cragen: Okay so fuck you-

Cragen: I’m passing the phone to the man who started the sassy man apocalypse-

Rafael: And I stand on business- I’m passing the phone to the person who’s family genuinely needs psychiatric intervention-

Amanda:…OKAY-

Amanda: I’m passing the phone to someone who we can all agree makes the meanest pasta-

Sonny: Period- anyways, I’m passing the phone to someone who almost went gray dealing with Casey Novak trying to charge the military with murder-

Branch: She’s gonna kill me one day- I’m passing the phone to someone who is in desperate need of a vacation-

Olivia: me again- okay, I’m passing the phone to someone who we all randomly hated for months until we randomly stopped, kinda- one day-

(Then I accidentally fell inlove with her)

Casey: I’m still telling my therapist about that- anyways, I’m passing the phone BACK TO THE WOMAN WHO CANT GET OVER ELLIOT-

Olivia: AND IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHOS HAD MORE HAIR COLORS THAN I CAN COUNT-

Casey: IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHO CANT KEEP A HAIR STYLE FOR ONE SEASON-

Olivia: IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHO IS IN SO MUCH DENAIL IT SETS OFF EVERY GAYDAR IN THE AREA-

Casey: HEY THA—

Olivia: I’m passing the phone to someone who defends and is STILL NOT OVER HER EX -

Casey: THATS DIABOLICAL.

What I think some of the ADAs do while waiting for a jury verdict:

Rafael: he’s either A, fighting off a headache and practically downing ibuprofen- or he’s squabbling with Liv- heavy in the last one-

Alex: Skimming though law Text books for absolute funsies (also because she’s over thinking the court cases she mentioned during indictment and she has to double check or Liz will never hear the end of it-) that or she would go chat it up with Cragen over some drinks (only Alex is drinking, cragens AA boys would have his ass if he drank-)

Sonny: Oh my boy is stressing. He’s pacing, biting his nails, loosening his tie because suddenly it’s a million degrees in that room- then he panics even more and the second someone asks if he’s okay, especially Rollins- the nausea hit him-

Casey: To be honest she’s probably just chilling in her office, and this is for simpler cases, I feel like she will just sit in her mess of an office (Seriously it looks like a mad scientist lives in there-) and mess with her soft ball things, that or going to bat with Elliot, that usually ends in her having to book it back to the court house quick enough to get the verdict-

what the squad would do waiting for their shift to start

(im waiting for my class to start)

munch- read about conspiracy theories online/ take buzzfeed quizzes and then scare himself thinking big brother is watching when the answer is accurate

fin- sing to himself in the car and treat it like an american idol audition (i bet he thinks ice t is really good🤔🤔)

elliot- squats (his ass is so round and .. i have to go.)

alex- review the case and actually do her job (she never stops working because she cant be alone with her thoughts)

casey- puzzle games on her phone until she gets too pissed off losing and just goes in early

cragen- he never leaves he actually lives there

I’m convinced the squad is at a constant state of anxiety when Casey gets a passionate streak and goes for a perps throat without regards for the potential damage her career could take- this woman is about justice at any means necessary- if that means screw the rules and do it Alex Cabot made up search warent style- then that’s that-

It’s probably gonna go something like this-

Elliot:..

Olivia:…

Munch:…

Fin:…

*Cragen walking in a noticing the silence.*

Cragen, anxiously;..Who’s Novak trying to indict now..?

Fin, stressed and sarcastic : Munches favorite people.

Elliot, rubbing his temples: She’s indicting the US army for r@pe and murder.

…

Cragen, choking on literal air: I’m sorry, she’s WHAT.

Munch: it’s about time someone took initiative- back in the day there wa—

Fin, stressing: DON’T START JOHN- NOW IS NOT THE TI—
