Not so much Falling as Sauntering Vaguely Downward @saunteringvaguelydownwards - Tumblr Blog

When I was younger I used to be part of the “only-reads-complete-fics crowd” but as I’m getting older I’m realizing how powerful it can be to have consistent things to look forward to…

All the ppl in the tags laughing abt how fic updates aren’t consistent are cowards. I aim to be subbed to at least 365 fics. One for each day of the year. And that’s just my starting point. Your inbox? Empty. Barren. Fallow. Mine? Bountiful. Overflowing. A cornucopia of ripe treats awaiting my tender consumption. I wade through honey-rich excess while you starve of your own volition.

“I wade through honey-rich excess while you starve of your own volition”.

This line is the sexiest way to say “You fucked up” that I have ever read. I have to start using this in my life when pointing out the follies of others.

Plot holes are merely the pockets in which your audience keeps their fanfiction ideas.

This is galaxy-brain level understanding of story structure.

So I uh... I just watched the Good Omens finale. I didn't really want to, given the *waves at everything*, but after a week or so of waffling I figured I needed the closure.

Honestly, I lack the energy or motivation to say much more than I'm sad, I'm disappointed, and they should have stopped after season 1.

if it’s taken until season 3 of leverage redemption for harry to realise that "sophie devereaux" may be an alias, i can’t wait til he realises that he’s only ever heard parker called by one name.

One of my favorite recurring gags in Leverage is how Hardison weaponizes the fear people have to actually be called out as racist/homophobic/transphobic and just uses it to its full advantage every time

HE DOES DO THIS AND I LOVE HIM FOR IT

Some favorites:

-Hardison (Black) infiltrates building as janitor in janitor gear, changes into a suit in the elevator, and leaves the building in a suit. Someone (not Black) who saw him in janitor mode tries to question him, saying, “hey, weren’t you the guy cleaning earlier?” at which point Hardison hits them with a “Oh, so we all look the same to you?” 🤨 and walks out the door while they’re spluttering about not being racist

-Hardison and Eliot (white) are at a hospital trying to get in to visit their mark (white). Eliot says he’s the mark’s brother; Hardison says he’s with Eliot. The receptionist tells him sorry, only visits from family. At this point, I thought Hardison was going to say he was adopted (which he is, incidentally, and so is Eliot—in Leverage Redemption we meet his adoptive father, who is Black), but Hardison went in a different direction. He put his hand on Eliot’s arm and said, “No—I’m with him,” and the flustered receptionist let in the supposed brother and his supposed partner.

-arguably my favorite, for personal reasons. Hardison steals an ID to gain access to a guarded door (I think they were anticipating the guard wouldn’t check ID as long as they scanned in okay?). The guard takes a look at it and the woman’s photo it bears and says, “This is you?” Hardison draws himself up and tells the guard that he is a proud, trans man, and the guard is caught out and lets him in.

Hardison uses this skill effectively and well, turns the tables with a glee, and goes to bat for groups we know him to be a part of and groups we don’t. I like to think that even if he is queer that he’d still defend someone else’s community in this way as readily as he does his own. He’s really great and I love him.

And this scene:

ruffboi-mags

That last one is in the second episode. And he brings up being Jewish/antisemitism more than once in this kind of bit, including the transgender one! Legit the writers absolutely COOKED with this man's quick wit and sense of humor, and Aldis plays it perfectly every damn time.

For y'all's edification, in case you didn't know:
