i keep seeing people say neil is canonically better at fighting than andrew??? genuinely confused as to where this is coming from outside of fanon...like genuinely why do people think he can beat andrew or even renee in a fight? neil is not physically intimidating like andrew. he is not capable of the same physical violence (maybe if u give him a gun). and yeah i see people point to his upbringing with nathan and MAYBE im cheating bcus im pretty sure this was only mentioned in the EC but his training never moved past dead animals. mary literally took him and ran before they could move to training him on live ones, and i think that's evidence that he wouldn't be some insanely crazy good knife fighter (also the fact all of this occured before he turned 10).

and call me crazy but there's No Evidence that Mary taught him Any physical fighting while they were on the run during those 8 years. in fact i think there's more subtextual evidence for her refusing to teach him both so that 1) he'd remain dependent on her and 2) so there was no chance he could become like nathan. like did we forget that his whole thing is getting his ass beat. over n over again. this is, i would argue, one of his most character defining traits. the foxes' battered wife in the wise words of one david wymack. mr "i start fights and let andrew finish them" josten.

Technically I haven’t watched the show,

But when Armand’s like “Who am I… I do not know anymore. No one has painted me in 400 years”

It’s basically the reverse of how babies don’t have object permanence, like they’re so egocentric that when they can’t see something it stops existing.

But is Armand so old he feels he stops existing when others don’t perceive him? Or like his sense of self is solely dependent on others ideas of him is probably more accurate but less cool sounding

tsc kandrew quote:

“Jean remembered when Kevin first presented Andrew Minyard’s file to Riko. How he stumbled across it, Jean still didn’t know, but Kevin had looked almost ravenous as he pled his case. ‘We have to have him,’ he’d said, again and again until Riko agreed to take him south for a meeting. They’d come back the same evening with Kevin in a spectacularly bad mood. Riko had mocked him about his bad call for the better part of a year, but Kevin had tracked the Foxes’ scores with a black anger that was two-thirds resentment.

[…]

It’d been a few years yet before Andrew was truly worth Kevin’s obsession with him, but watching him tonight put Jean’s mind at ease. The perfect Court was in dire need of a goalkeeper. He’d be damned if he gave Kevin the satisfaction of his approval, though; Kevin was insufferable on a good day and beyond unbearable when he was right about something.”

side note: i have a few other TSC kandrew crumbs down, but since it’s TSC not a lot… if TGR has any crumbs i’ll compile the two lists

i tried to make a venn diagram but my migraine is ironically too bad for me to have the brain power to take the time to fix the proportions and then i locked one of the text layers and got pissed off and gave up. but i kind of like it all fucked up like this

[sammigy]

im rereading tsc (to prepare for tgr lmao) and i hadn’t noticed this little detail previously but it hit me like a truck this time around

jeremy has the entire backline’s notifications set as a quacking sound. so that means when jean messages him jean’s text also sounds like a duck quacking…

I honestly wonder if the Leverage crew could’ve coalesced without Alec Hardison, the one (1) member of the crew who doesn’t have mile-high-and-thick emotional walls.

[afurtivecake]

hey have we considered how the separation between riko and someone like jean is actually really thin. how easily riko could easily have been the worthless pawn bought and sold by powerful people. maybe deep down he knows that. maybe every time he looks at jean and sees an ugly, worthless piece of trash that his own parents didn't want to keep, he feels a twinge of horrible recognition. it's like looking into a mirror that isn't broken enough to distort the reflection. maybe every time he fails to miss jean looking at kevin like kevin is the only thing keeping him above water, he wants to destroy that reflection so thoroughly no one would ever mistake one for the other.

Does anyone else remember when Elon was like "if anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I'll fund it" and UNICEF was like "we're going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it" and Elon was like "actually, nah" and then bought Twitter instead?

I think that was one of the worst things I'll ever see in my life.

[tiredspacedragon]

I still think that should be the thing for which he's the most famous. It should be brought up every time he's mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. "Elon Musk, who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down." Put it on his fucking gravestone.

as much as i love the idea of someone (nicky) recording kevin acting like himself instead of his on-camera persona and going viral for it in a modern-day au, i also love the idea of kevin having a sixth sense for when a camera is pointed at him.

like:

kevin cussing all of them out at a practice and then in the middle of a sentence going from screaming to saying mildly, "and i just expect a lot from you, and i want you all to try your best". a pause. then, several foxes at once, go "what the fuck". kevin looks straight into the camera of nicky's phone.

-

after a night at eden's, nicky enters the living room in the columbia house where kevin's sleeping on the sofa, turns the ceiling lights on and loudly says "wakey, wakey, kevin! ice cream's for breakfast" in a singsongy voice.

hungover, just awoken kevin, without turning around to look at nicky, just goes "good morning, nicky. just an omelet for me, please."

nicky turns the camera around to film his own face and sighs exaggeratedly.

I love that Neil's crisis when Andrew kissed him wasn't about his sexuality; He didn't give a flying fuck that Andrew was a man, he just didn't want Andrew to be upset when his hook up got murdered

[bogleech]

Gerrysherry, the user who tells people I'm antisemitic because I think IDF soldiers are killing innocent civilians (rather than framed by some kind of Hamas conspiracy), believes my real name was a secret that I only just now accidentally revealed rather than the default way I've signed all my web content since the 1990's. Also believes that I have an employer, that "telling my parents" would affect a grown man, that my hippie mom would disagree with me anyway, and that the hatemail they got last year was all me rather than the natural and inevitable fallout of the supremely fucked up shit they say about the victims of a mass murder. Apparently would gleefully leap at any hypothetical chance at "doxxing" me though. Good to know. Literally wishes they could ruin my real actual life because I don't think Netanyahu is a hero.

[stop--the--antisemitism]

no sweetie you said all Israelis are going to the Christian hell

Do you not see how that’s fucked

[bogleech]

I said "idf can go to hell," as in "people killing innocent civilians can fuck themselves." Hell isnt real, its a figure of speech for "I hate those assholes," and most israelis are also innocent civilians. You jumped on the idea that I hate them all if I hate the actions of the IDF because of some insane loophole about israel counting all of its people as part of its army, which all of its people do not fucking consent to. The majority of israeli civilians do not agree to being involved in a war and are regular good people you fucking lunatic.

Nobody that I've seen ever once attacked "the right for israel to exist" or jewish people themselves in any interaction you ever had with me or with anyone who's talked to me about their run ins with you. Except you, technically, since you generalize all jewish people as being in favor of the bombings and call them self loathing traitors if they speak against it.

You even have multiple of these sock puppets designed to fuck with the original "stop the antisemitism" for that very reason. Is that not a blog run by a jewish person? You lost your fucking mind that said blog also said it's bad if either side of a conflict is shooting children through the goddamned skull.

Oh, but that's a conspiracy theory to you anyway right? Nobody kills children in your mind except wicked gazans, who are absolutely all hamas to you. And that is absolutely the only belief that drives any of your behavior. Edited to just add another classic example of who this person is:

Notice how the ask does not actually say anything remotely resembling what Gerry is reacting to, but that Gerry's response is tailored for a completely different, almost opposite ask that they've imagined in their head to get mad about.

[bogleech]

I'm actually not going to let this go until Gerry is at least as widely ridiculed as Human Pet Guy. That guy still didn't do anything half as disturbed as this fucking loser, let me pull up my favorites again:

Gerry messaging me from an alt pretending not to be an alt

Gerry claiming again that it's antisemitic of me to say the IDF are bad guys who do not represent the entire Jewish population. This is not, in fact, the same as saying they're "not jews anymore." Also bragging about supposedly baiting and sealioning me into saying whatever they believe I said wrong. I guess the stupid ass hell thing????

Calling me a "blorbo" like I'm a fictional character rather than a human. Also, I went and got the original hell comment to double check it:

.....This doesn't even say the IDF should go to hell. It says I hope people "excusing" the IDF's actions should go to hell, I just typoe'd it as "excising." I guess Gerry successfully gaslit me, since I fully believed I had said specifically "the IDF go to hell." Thanks!

Gerry accusing me of "lumping them in as pro genocide" in response to a comment in which I specifically state I do not see them that way. How else am I supposed to read them NOW, though? Because I defined that as "someone who thinks kids deserve bombs dropped on them," and Gerry's response is "how dare you say that about me......???????" What?? Not once do they ever simply say "no one deserves their town to be bombed" or anything like that. They absolutely refuse, because they do in fact believe that it's okay to bomb a whole community if some of that community might hypothetically be "hamas." They do in fact think it's acceptable that people who never hurt anyone else should die that way for some sort of greater good, or that only hamas can be blamed for those deaths by "forcing the hand" of the ones with those bombs.

Gerry admitting the IDF bombs, loots and tortures, even though most comments they call antisemitic are calling out just that very behavior. Gerry to my knowledge has never willingly blamed anything negative on the IDF since this comment and continues to attack people who do.

Gerry admitting the honest core of their beliefs and behavior. This isn't really about me, though. I mean, part of it is, I can definitely be vindictive. But I mostly ignored this asshole for the past year until the doxx comment, and now I'm getting more messages than ever from people who feel actually hurt and terrorized by this motherfucker. I've suffered ZERO fallout from their attacks, I am evidently too big I guess, but there are people who change their username to hide from this piece of shit, even fucking minors who dared to say "free palestine" once. Then there's @stoptheantisemitism, who is NOT gerry, but is impersonated by gerry's alt account @spottheantisemitism and other alt accounts, @stop-the-antisemitism and of course @stop--the--antisemitism in this very thread. Creating so many variants is a deliberate attempt to make it as hard as possible for casual rebloggers to remember which one is the real person. I mean, two alts only add dashes to the same username, and the other only moves one letter "p." I have no idea how tumblr staff can rationalize that as okay. But, again, if there's a guy who can't show his face without human pet jokes because he was just generally creepy, or everyone remembers sixpenceee's family having slaves, why can a user devote this much of their miserable life to "baiting and sealioning" people from multiple accounts and still have a usable blog left? ONE LAST THING!!!!!!!

In the notes on this very post, gerry is so bent on finding people to call out and slander they tried to find "misogyny" in a comment saying that women like studying bugs????????
