Hey so like. We all know that non-queer people are not oppressed for being straight. We all know that already.

But if you're trans, (and/or intersex often) no matter what orientation you have, you are going to be oppressed for said orientation. Including heterosexuality.

Like. For many transgender and intersex people around the world, it is illegal for you to be straight. Can we care about transhet and interhet people now? Maybe just a little?

i know this is tumblr and we’re all playing perverts but i just think some of you would be excellent company for a late night walk and a four hour conversation about absolutely nothing

Found a mole cricket yesterday and it had the cutest lil paws and the biggest wettest saddest eyes I ever saw on a bug. No one else was able to appreciate the 🥺 aspect of the creature.

A link for those of you who have no idea what a mole cricket looks like :D

Staying conscious today is like not happening 😴😴😴

[wood-mare-sage]

Wanna nap with someone, doesn't need to cuddle but just be in the room, not sure why but I think that would really help calm me down, you can just sit there and read or something maybe stroke my back or my hair every now and then 🥺

Elliot and the hitter on the other con team just standing there, for a minimum of 10 minutes, just imagining how the other is going to take them down is fucking peak. Not a single blow was landed or even attempted, but they had the time of their lives.

Ah yes, hit show leverage, where even these complex characters aren't safe from stereotyping. No matter how you look at it, the show still has a really hot character that's practically just a housewife, but since that would be complicated, the show decided that they are also a badass.

And I wouldn't change Eliot Spencer for anything 😍.

I'm sure Nate isn't homophobic - the show makes it pretty clear that all his catholic guilt is directed firmly inwards and we never see even a hint of disapproval over others' personal lives - but he's still an older white guy and definitely defaults to cishet assumptions.

Which makes me desperately want, like, a 5+ type fic of gay flirting for the con where Nate progressively gets his mind blown.

Because Sophie flirting with a woman might throw him for a beat or two, but she's a world class grifter and an actress, of course she can flirt with anyone

And then Parker had to be taught how to flirt in the first place and she's Parker so sure, she's completely faking it either way, she has no internal biases, okay

The first time a man chats up Hardison and the hacker reacts exactly the same way he does when he tries to flirt with women, Nate is so glad Sophie takes over the comms to give flirting advice because it takes him half a minute to recalibrate and edit his expectations

But then Sophie's failing to hook a mark and Elliot steps in without missing a beat, flashing his farm boy smile, and Nate is finally like, "how is it that I'm the only one here who's surprised by any of this?" and the team just shrugs and goes "idk that sounds like a you problem"

The +1 is the only time Nate attempts it and they all agree to never try that again because it was awkward and embarrassing for everyone involved

the leverage ot3 is so amazing because each pair within it has its own unique and fascinating dynamic and then all 3 together have a third fascinating dynamic so the character depth is so good.

like parker and hardison have their adorable dynamic that gets tons of attention in the show so i don't think i have to explain but if i do, they are super playful with each other and so loving and romantic and hardison is always calling parker pet names and it's fucking adorable.

then you have parker and elliot, who are the two most emotionally stunted on the team, but something about being the two people who aren't "good" like the rest of the team (like basically the whole conversation they have while stuck in that like ice cave in the mountain climbing episode) is super deep. also, especially in redemption, i love how even though they pardison are not canonically dating eliot, parker is always including him in their future plans, like elliot will also get robot bodies with parker and hardison, etc. etc. like this is particularly sticking out to me in the most recent leverage redemption episode (the swipe right job) when parker is going on a rant about dating apps and elliot goes "we're in trouble" (about their covers getting blown on a job) and parker's like "no me you and hardison are fine" like hello did she just acknowledge that they're dating? more to the point though, i love how we see parker and elliot just hanging out and having like real, honest conversations, especially in redemption. i also love how they clearly spend time together outside of work - like the sheer number of parker and elliot noodle incidents is insane.

next up: elliot and hardison. holy shit they are so iconic. they are the big guy smart guy duo and it plays out in such a sweet way in their relationship. like even though he acts all exasperated, hardison really softens elliot up, for example, elliot complaining about the lucille song but then joining in in the first contact job. and then, at the same time, elliot helps hardison be tougher, think his really great speech in the rundown job where he convinces hardison that he is capable of stopping the terrorist attack and he like grabs the back of his neck and stares him right in the eye like he's donating his aura or something. but at the same time as encouraging him to be tough, elliot is still super overprotective of hardison, like when he instinctively grabs hardison and steadies him when he steps on the mine in that same episode, and i think that's so cute. speaking of the rundown job, the way that elliot and hardison are supportive of each other both in like a serious way and like a funny flirty way. as far as serious, in that episode, we have elliot literally jumping for joy when hardison figures out the sos car thing in time, and then of course as far as flirty and funny, you have the handshake when they're both staring at how hot parker is dodging lasers. btw the fact that they have a handshake too is just like the definition of their dynamic. i love it.

finally, all three together is super interesting because of how all of these dynamics come together. elliot is the scary looking dog who could fuck you up but is actually quite sweet and would rather nap with you on the couch. parker is the cat who takes a while to warm up to you but once she does she is super loving and sweet. and hardison is their genius golden retriever who is like the heart of the group and is always bothering the other two to play with him but secretly they love it. and they work together so well because they play off of each other's strengths and compensate for each other's weaknesses. it's just so fucking amazing ot3 5ever.

plugging my own review because i have never been nor will i ever be normal about leverage season 5, episode 9: the rundown job

The only “good ol’ boys” I recognize are the two behind the wheel, chasing down bad guys in Lucille

[pinazee]

Let me tell you something, never has a show made me love all the interpersonal dynamics like Leverage.

The flirty will they/ can they of parker/hardison- oh i am down bad for that.

The unlikely older brother-little brotherhood of hardison/elliot- im cuddled up next to it with a bowl of popcorn.

The grieving king protective knight that is Elliot/nate- you have my sword.

The classic enemies-who-want-to-bang to lovers-who-do-bang that is nate/sophie- its a classic for a reason.

The aunt who has no idea what their nephew does but is proud and supportive anyways and the exasperated nephew who’s trying his best to explain it for the fifth time that is sophie/hardison- rare and under appreciated but not by me

The father figure pushing the child he cares for to be his very best and prove how incredibly brilliant they actually are that is hardison/nate- so freaking sweet.

The protective dad neurodivergent child that is nate/parker-in tears.

The older sister teaching the younger sister how to interact with the world that is parker/sophie-i think a hole in my heart healed.

The growth of a genuine deep friendship between sophie/elliot- im eating it like a five course meal

The exasperated, yet, super protective eldest sibling and rascally poking-you-with-a-stick-for-fun younger sibling that is elliot/parker- i need that stored for rainy days

[diary-factory-explosion]

[kisses4felonies]

oh that one's already in my leon folder.. is this the point at which i should consider that i might not be normal about him or is this still regular behavior

[wood-mare-sage]

Firstly: absolutely agree that's one of ours, what a great pair

Secondly: that point is so far past you it's behind the horizon XD

[tgirl-tamag0tchi]

Someone in my brain keeps speaking near fluent Hungarian, and being upset when I get the conjugation wrong or don’t understand her right away. Also, I think she’s Catholic????

I don’t need more headmates… sigh

[tabletopsystemrepostblog]

Oh we have a headmate who took all our knowledge of French with her when she split and now she speaks exclusively French and none of us know what she's saying

[tgirl-tamag0tchi]

Unfortunate, kinda funny, and relatable…
