Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

“That’s the easy part,” Joe says, flipping to the next slide where the only thing on it was a picture of an armored vehicle. “This is where things get tricky.”

From her spot on the couch, Nile lets out a pained groan. “We’re going to get shot, aren’t we?”

Joe snaps and points a finger at her. “With that attitude, we’re going to be hit multiple times.” If they’re lucky, they’re all going to be hits to center mass. Head shots were always the grossest to come back from.

Joe bounces onto his toes, “Come on, Nile! This is your first robbery! Aren’t you excited?”

“Just because we’re immortal doesn’t mean we have to be criminals!”

Andy boos from her end of the couch, throwing a handful of popcorn at the newest member. Joe glares at Andy. Is she trying to invite all the ants to the apartment?

“They have insurance, the jewelry store won’t be hurt,” Joe repeats, for the millionth time tonight.

Does this whole generation have strong morals or is it just Nile? Booker didn’t even blink when they informed him how they earned their wealth.

Nile huffs, throws some of the popcorn back at Andy. “Y’all are taking ‘be gay, do crime’ to another level.”

Andy barks out a laugh and Joe shares an amused smile with Nicky. “Oh kid,” Andy starts, smile too sharp. “We invented that.”

one of the best gags in leverage is when the crew starts naming random cons, even better when they disagree and give us just enough information to be more confused - "it's like the cherry pie, but with lifeguards" or "the roper has a glass eye. No! It's a cue ball." bafflingly perfect, 10/10.

But a close second is when they just reference a con they did, without giving us any useful information. Now we see physical bits during like the broken wing job which is great. Or the night out jobs where they show the chaos of both nights in pieces from the other side. But I had forgotten in the 'cross my heart job' they were doing crazy crazy things. They were on the emerald isle, Sophie was pretending to be french on a topless beach, Eliot was in a shipwreck fighting three ex-brazilian combat divers with harpoons underwater, and hardison apparently faked a volcano eruption??

no notes. a perfect show truly

Of course Eliot knows how to sew, between his military service, medical skills, and the likelihood that he's slept with a seamstress or two. He can, at minimum, hem a pair of pants and do most types of repairs.

Hardison, though? Sure, word of God is that he makes the disguises that the team uses during cons, which could just mean he's ironing "FBI" transfer letters onto windbreakers.

HOWEVER.

Hardison is a cosplayer in the early 2010s. I did my first con cosplay at AnimeNext in '08. Before 2013 or so, you could not Google a character and find sales listings for a ready-made cosplay. If you wanted to cosplay a character who doesn't wear readily available normal clothes, you had two options: you either found someone who could sew and were very, very nice to them, or you learned how to make stuff yourself. I know several people who taught themselves how to sew by taking apart thriftstore finds for cosplay, and I had a side hustle taking on sewing and patterning commissions.

Hardison could have commissioned his first cosplay, but I think he'd get sucked in. He'd get really excited about computerized sewing machines. He'd get himself a machine that he can hack and reprogram so it's got extra stitches, multiple buttonhole settings, automatic seam guidance, a controlled heat setting that does a fused edge finish on synthetic fabrics. He digitizes his own embroidery patterns.

At some point Eliot asks to borrow a sewing machine because his job is as rough on his clothes as it is on his body, and he nearly has an aneurysm trying to do a basic darning patch on Hardison's beeping whistling computer-monster. A couple days later, a second sewing machine shows up. It's an old one with sturdy metal innards and mechanical dials to set stitch length and width. It has no screen, no control buttons, and only a handful of settings. One of them is a darning stitch.

Leverage S05E09 The Rundown Job.

[thought-42]

Anyway I've been rewatching Leverage and I think the most fun thing about Nate Ford is that he really is that goddamn good at what he does, and he's also absolutely that fucked up. Like. It's one thing if the alcoholic ex?Catholic with a tragic backstory and a chip on his shoulder thinks he's that good. That's dangerous, but like, mundane dangerous. That's messy, but beatable. That's every villain and half the heros. The problem is this fucking disaster of a man IS exactly as good as he thinks he is at getting into people's heads and looking at the world like a game of 3D chess. And that's a whole different kind of dangerous, and also the only thing that keeps him from being an absolute flop of a character. There's a show where he's the incompitent one of the crew, and there's a show where he's the only compitent one of the crew, and both of those shows would have sucked. But instead it's just 'Surprise! this one's also terrifying!'

[haloburns]

nate: here's our hitter, eliot spencer. he's the best of the best at combat and weaponry

nate: no one is better than him at disarming large numbers of enemies without going down

nate: he can identify weaponry by sound and organizations by fighting style, hair cut, and shoes

nate: we use him for honeypots

Eliot Spencer: I work alone

Also Eliot Spencer:

Meet my Scottish buddy, Donnie. He'll do an Indian accent for our con, no questions asked.

Meet General Flores. I tried to kill him once, and then saved his life twice after that.

Meet Shelley. We used to assassinate terrorists together.

Meet my mentor, Toby. He taught me how to cook.

Meet Vance. We were in the service together doing covert government ops.

Meet Paul. He saved my life when we were in the military, and you already saw me almost cry when I thought he was dead.
