Numair and Daine: *accidentally start conflict between Stormwings and Mages*

Numair: WE NEED AN ADULT!

Daine: Numair, you’re an adult!

Numair: NO. WE NEED AN ADULTIER ADULT. GET ONUA.

honestly frodo’s journey is so wild

like, imagine your uncle goes missing after his birthday party, and his old stoner friend from out of town tells you the souvenir he brought back from a vegas trip 80 years ago is actually satan’s mood ring and now zombie assassins are coming to burn down your town unless you and your lawn guy meet up with medieval hozier in a dark gastropub…

You’ve been working on the wrong side for a long time, right? Yes, yes, I would have to say that. Yeah, so you don’t get to just do one thing and claim you’ve repented.

1) I am ECSTATIC that they kept Hardison’s association with Judaism, that it’s personal and his, y’know? Not just a throw away joke from the OG no one was supposed to pick up on or something they were planning to retcon or forget.

2) John Rogers is always excellent about giving credit to those who contributed to his work, in this case Rabbi Danya Rutenberg. [link, link]

Natasha: That new arm looks great, Bucky

Bucky: Thanks?

Natasha: It would look even better around Steve’s waist

Steve: …

Steve: Are you hitting on Bucky… For me?

Cosseting? Nobody's doing any cosseting!

Not Parker stealing Sophie's coat so that she'll stay home with the fam just for today.

Not Eliot with his little tray of gourmet food so casually presented.

Eliot just loves to cook, Sophie, watchutalkinbout.

Cosseting? The very idea! They're so confused and offended.

Oh, and Harry, you know, we don't know his whole life.

Maybe he likes hunting down old and obscure British dramas! Maybe it's a hobby of his! Who knows?

Why so suspicious, Sophie?

What, these guys? With these faces?

They've never been weird, ever, in their lives.

This is normal, Sophie.

When Eliot has to (reluctantly) go through the vents, he complains "Don't they ever clean these things?" even though it was usually Hardison who complained about dust and dirt on the job (including freaking out about dust mites in the vents).

Conclusion: Eliot's primary vent experience is from their own home's vents ("vent practice"), and Parker keeps those vents fastidiously clean and dust-free for her boys to make hanging out in the vents with her as appealing to them as possible.

Harry escaping capture by unionising his kidnappers against their criminal boss is something I could only see on Leverage and is exactly the kind of content I signed up for

In Leverage 2.0, I hope we’ll find out that Eliot’s computer skills have developed in the weirdest way possible after 8 years with Hardison.

Like, on the one hand, if the display settings in his email program get changed slightly, he dumps his computer in Hardison’s lap stating his email is “broken” and demands Hardison fix it, without attempting even the most basic troubleshooting. Software updates that change the interface layout result in months of grumbling and asking Hardison where they hid the ___ option this time. On the other hand, when one of Hardison’s magical hacker flash drives encounters a minor hurdle Hardison didn’t expect, Eliot just opens a command line interface and starts tapping away hunt-and-peck style. Whoever they’re working with nervously asks if he’s sure he knows what he’s doing and maybe they should wait for Hardison, and Eliot just says “What? I’ve been dating a hacker for 8 years! This is what Hardison does!” And sure enough, it is. He’s not fast, but he actually does know his way around a command line and knows enough of Hardison’s basic hacking techniques to fix minor hiccups on the fly.

(For some reason, I picture Eliot finding the command line satisfying. I think a lot of the slick commercial GUIs that are designed to be “intuitive” would drive him crazy because they’re not intuitive to him (or for Parker). Hardison’s GUIs, on the other hand, are very deliberately designed around how Eliot and Parker expect them to work with zero consideration for them making sense to outsiders.)

Well, I’m in love with this headcanon as of ten seconds ago. It’s perfect. We know Eliot:

- picks up information specific to the fields his partners work in

- retains and mentally catalogs information that might apply to his “field”

- despite all of his grousing gets some very pure joy out of Hardison’s tech tricks

I’m not a programmer and barely use command line interfaces, but given that it’s interoperable on multiple OSs, it’s relatively “clean”, it doesn’t make you navigate through different menus and dropdowns or use a small cursor…

Hardison: That’s just you an’ your big punchy hands

Eliot: You tellin’ me there’s another reason it’s called a “cursor”?

And it relies on memorization and clear instructions - things we know Eliot excels at.

Headcanon accepted, now someone who does speak CLI, I’m in need of fic!

They told Sophie to pick anything that she wanted from the museum and she chose a whole ass man before bringing him to their found family home
