Default lol wtf is up with my starter?

ok ive made a few threads about this.. my car cant start without me playing with the key. i have a feeling its not in the ignition because sometimes it will try to start, i can even feel the motor turn over then it dies but it keeps trying.

how do i know its turning over? well i can watch the frontend rise like its at full throttle (but its not).

im guessing i have a combination of things.. weak motor mounts and a weak starter.

does this sound right? ive had bad starters before and they just didnt turn over but this one isnt slow and eventually it will turn over. its never left me stranded. sometimes takes a couple tries to get her started.

i have no idea where to even start to address this though. car is my daily driver and i cant be having this

when its cold it will jump (turn over then die.. and keep trying)

its like it dosnt fully turn over but u can see the hood jump.

when its warm it wont even jump it will just keep cranking untill i play with the key (usually just pull it back a little and hold it and it will fire right up no problem)
