I wonder why

#oh happens to me all the time #im just quiet. but i can talk for hours about some tv show that ended in like 2012. but maybe you prefer me quiet in that case!

Honestly my impression of Leverage from Tumblr undersold how good this show is. Y'all really weren't lying about the found family stuff though. That family sure can be found.

#literally!! i checked it out bc of tumblr thinking the premise sounded cool but had no idea just how great the characters would be #and the overarching plotlines?? the themes?? the character development?? the comedy?? #i love this show so much

that sequence in the Gone Fishin' Job where Hardison and Eliot get taken hostage is Really Something because like. Eliot's looking around and he's counting. and he's deciding whether he can risk a fight. and then he looks over at Hardison. at the guns aimed at Hardison. and he goes without a fight. cause he can take a bullet, he can take the risk, but Hardison can't. that ain't ever an option.

NO I LITERALLY THINK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME!!!! eliot makes a huge hole in the wall and next we see of it, there’s just A Door There, but people don’t tend to come in through that door. idk if we ever see people use it?? probably cause it’s a set and so it doesn’t necessarily lead to anything, just open space or whatever. but what are the team using that room for??

does it open into the whole next-door condo? do they have their own little guest rooms & use it like a hotel, basically having sleepovers at nate’s place whenever they want? maybe eliot has a little home gym there, and hardison has another set up for his computers considering there’s really only monitors in nate’s place? or maybe it leads into a boiler room or electrical/utility room, or the machine room for the elevator, so they have easy access to the switchboards and generators and other electrical things that i won’t claim to understand, but which are probably very useful for the team to have control of in the event of an emergency… i mean, last time they had an emergency, they had to blow up their offices, so it would be nice if they could just set off the sprinklers or something next time. or maybe eliot just really wanted to saw into a wall that day!

the way the leverage team make a mess of nate’s apartment on multiple occasions is so much funnier when you consider that none of them are particularly messy people. in the pilot, hardison has a very nice apartment that he is clearly proud of & has kept very tidy. parker’s warehouse is almost disturbingly neat, her tools and weapons are kept clean & shiny and are laid out in perfect rows, her bed is made, her clothes and rappelling gear is hung up. eliot likes things done properly and certainly at least cares for his car’s cleanliness. idk about sophie, but she would at least know how to act neat for a grift, and she’d be aware of how a guest to supposed to treat their host’s home.

but they all put unwashed dishes in nate’s sink, do spur of the moment renovations, set up new gear in his living room, leave clothes/costumes, plans & random items strewn about the place, and even tear up his stuff without fixing it. i love it. his apartment is their playground. they half live here now. nate just needs to chill out and let them saw into his walls, geez calm downnnn. i know nate’s eye was twitching when he saw that parker’s warehouse was so perfect meanwhile there’s probably 5 bowls of unfinished cereal hidden in his house like a damn look-and-find puzzle

As a lesbian i will always relate more to trans women than cishet women. Made to feel disgusting and predatory in women’s spaces? Check. Berated and mocked for our relation to sexuality and womanhood? Check. Hated for our “deviancy from the norm”? Check. Every single essay about womanhood by a trans woman–and especially, especially by trans wlw–has spoken more to me than anything written by a cis straight woman ever could. T*rfs can take that to the bank.

Currently practicing a starter version of "came back wrong," and it's called "woke up wrong": basically, you go to sleep, something incomprehensible to the human mind happens to your body position, and when you wake up you are injured in some undiagnosable but persistent way.

fleabag's fourth wall breaks being a metaphor for dissociation, and her doing them every scene EXCEPT when she has sex with the priest where she physically shoves away the camera. it being the first time in the entire show where she's fully present in the moment... poetic cinema.
