To Infinity

From Eternity. I'm struggling to find myself and the more I learn, the more I hate who I've been.

Oh so it was just straightup embezzlement. Fantastic, I was hoping it was.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#yeah as an accountant I was curious to see if they would address it in the bts#and then they did and it was...this#wow

So much of what these guys do is "it's only illegal if he sues us"

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS IN GAME CHANGER

Embezzlement. Keep up.

this episode proved that Sam Reich is one of the easiest to murder people in the whole world. You get ONE person he knows on board and the man is toast. He’ll hop in the back of your van instantly like “ooh I wonder what silly little trick they have planned for me!” Brennan Lee Mulligan could have put this dude in a saw trap and he’d walk in smiling.

If my timeline is right, Elaine was planning this while she had a secret camera in their home. "I'm an honest person" (was conspiring against her husband in at least two separate simultaneous plots)

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#what the fuck#im so out of the loop here i thought that was just some sorta game show

Yeah it is a game show

[everydaygremlin]

is the game in this case psychological torment?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Most of the time yeah

Man, the worst thing about this ban is that it makes me miss my original accounts. I had great users that I followed but now?

Thinking fondly of Jimmy Carter. RIP

Their mock election was so realistic the school even played the role of the CIA

Oof

They stole my labor for profit. They did a capitalism to me on a communism meme. I can't decide if that's hilarious or infuriating.

[fluencca]

I'm am DYING with how unnecessarily sillily adorable this is

they need to test the portrait so they got this finger printing kit—Parker is wearing gloves even though her job is just to take pictures of the finger prints Eliot points pit to her, and Eliot is wearing the silly little lab coat that came with the kit

I can't stop laughing

They're two kids playing at scientist and it goes completely unmentioned

"but wait, maybe he needed that coat for a different part of the con, hmmm?"

Nope

He took it off just as soon as he finished dusting for those prints. This loveable, badass dork was just full-on playing pretend

I watched Leverage for the first time way too young, and a lot of things went over my head. I just rewatched "The Future Job" from Leverage and something about this scene just hit me.

The way they broke down the mysticism around the predatory psychic for Parker feels so intentional both in character and out of character.

In character, they do not judge Parker for falling for the con. The team is supportive and kind as they explain how a cold read works to her. They break it down for her step by step. They never belittle her nor do they pry about her past. This approach makes sense for Parker as a charcter, and it's sweet to see her friends try to help her through a difficult moment this way.

And out of character, it's kind of like they are telling the audience "it's okay if you've fallen prey to this scam. We're living in hard times and this is exceedingly cruel even by our standards. You aren't stupid, you are human. Here's some tools to avoid being tricked like this in the future". I cannot tell you the number of times I've realized I was being manipulated because of how this scene stuck with me.

I love the writers of Leverage, but something about this episode always makes me feel like the writers truly cared for their audience. I'm not sure if this was intentional or if I'm reading into it. But damn I think about this scene a lot.

#I think another good one for this sentiment is 'low low price job' #where it's unambiguous that the walmart stand-in is evil #(killing mom-and-pop stores; union busting; emotional manipulation of employees; so on and so forth) #but by having Hardison say those low prices were the only way nana was able to put food on the table #the writers are saying: 'you aren't evil for having to shop here or work here #we understand it's tough out there#we understand that you're cogs in a wicked machine you never signed up to be a part of #capitalism chews us all up and spits us all out and we're sorry about that #but let's live in a 42-minute fantasy where we can bite back' (via @wordybee)

please watch my favorite game changer clip ever

best thing about uncle iroh is that if you pay attention he is actually just as much of an idiot as zuko but has just mastered the art of coming across as a wise old man. the even better thing is that zuko is the only one on the planet who somewhat realizes this and no one would ever believe him because he's zuko

This is the infinity loop of police murder. We must kill you because we have guns.

How’s it feel to be the funniest person on tumblr?

[kaity--did]

Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me

sometimes you do just have to lie to children.

[kaity--did]

If, when my toddler is, you know, toddling around saying “mama? Big ball?”

If I were lean down and say “unfortunately the big beach ball for some reason fills you with such an unadulterated rage that is beyond human comprehension that you scream until you pass out, so mama had to remove the beach ball from the premises until you can better regulate your emotions” she would simply stare at me like I had 3 heads full of equal betrayal.

So, for now, instead “big ball went night night!”

[kaity--did]

Please understand when I say “removed the ball from the premises” I mean I popped it in a fit of exhausted confusion. I murdered the beach ball.

See I’ve lied to you all too and it was better this way.

[inkloom]

you can’t just leave this in the tags etc.

[kaity--did]

You can’t be funnier then me on my own posts, I’m in tears from laughter

This rapid slide from attempted machismo to sweet tender feelings is what happened to the show, too.

[great-tweets]

[sushinfood]

this is NUTS

Reblogging this again because I found out he’s actually the drummer in an all-mascot metal band called Charamel.

tumblr friendships are hard to maintain like im sorry i know i havent talked to you in 5 months but you’re still super rad and i still consider us friends im just dumb

[ironbound-oberon]

#if you’re wondering if this is for you #it’s probably for you

[lifeisaroughjourney]

If I have ever messaged you or messaged me and never heard from me again, I still consider us friends. I just suck

Do you ever think about how Tolkien’s vision of the greatest evil in the universe was something he referred to as “The Machine” which was his way of talking about accelerated industrialism and mass surveillance and he wrote multiple books where the main villains were a dragon who sits on a huge pile of treasure that he never intends to use but incinerates anyone who comes near it, a man in a giant tower who’s wrecking the environment with his factories, and an evil being who uses what’s essentially a listening device to control the citizens of middle earth. And now Amazon is making a Tolkien show. Do you ever think about that.
