alec hardison : 

- faked being a lawyer and actually won a case that was declared open and shut by all parties involved

- managed to stop a plane crash from miles away, while posing as a long-term employee in a company (and actually had everyone believe he’d been working there for years) 

- played one of the most difficult violin solos magnificently (even if you take nate’s hypnosis into account, which i don’t, he wouldn’t have been able to do it if he didn’t already have the talent required) 

- forged a historical document so brilliantly it fooled an expert

- hacked the smartest and most efficient security system in the world to save his teammates, with a laptop he found in the back of his truck. in a SINGLE DAY.

- took control of an airport control tower by faking a tornado alert 

there are so many more instances of hardison being an actual genius who can adapt to any situation and do seemingly impossible things quicker than anyone. i love him SO much 

#hardison is my favorite 💚 #listen i love them all but he’s the best! #hands down one of my favorite characters ever

#while I do have a clear winner in mind it’s a painful decision #anyway I recently got to see this in theatres (25th anniversary rerelease!) #and it is. patently unfair. that this cast exists all in one place #it’s a long-standing joke for a reason #if you need to turn someone bi just sit them down in front of this movie!

#the best part of the beach is at night #when the tourists are all snuggled up in their hotels #and the sand is cool between your toes #and the moon glints off the gently breaking waves #and it’s so so quiet just you and the ocean and the moon #and maybe the twinkle of shrimp boats out on the horizon #the ocean water feels silky on your feet and the dry sand makes little squeaks when you walk #it smells like salt and freedom #that’s the best part hands down

Hey, we’re thieves, man. And we’re good at what we do, but this is way, way out of our league.

#man this is such a powerful scene #eliot gives hardison so so much crap (as he should! its great banter!) but when the rubber hits the road #that’s who he wants at his back #putting all the pieces together #and he’s not afraid to be honest about it #and hardison while terrified out of his entire mind #has so much trust for eliot and so much respect for him #that all it takes is this one moment #this one statement this one declaration of mutual trust and admiration #layered in spoken and unspoken promise #that he’ll push past his screaming survival instincts and trust eliot all the way to what feels like certain doom #its so perfect #i can’t even do it justice with an essay length analysis #god now i wanna do another rewatch

jurassic park has a good philosophical message but unfortunately the only thing i ever take away from watching jurassic park is "god i wish i could go to jurassic park." like yeah it's a blatantly obvious don't create the torment nexus scenario, but this torment nexus has DINOSAURS.

April 27th is International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day! My comic Crow time is pretty much stuffed to the brim with crows, so it's a good way to celebrate these goth little dudes.

READ CROW TIME!

OR GET PLUSH GOTH BOI?? WOW!

Something I made while dealing with my own stuff and hoping drawing this would pick me up somehow. Maybe it worked.

i think what’s on a person’s nightstand is very telling so reblog this and put in the tags the things you have on your nightstand

#oh man my nightstand is…a lot #migraine meds that don’t work and a water bottle and three books and a tray with like thirty different pieces of jewelry #a snake box with more earrings and rings inside it #eyeglass case and spare lens wipe and little bottle of feathers #my tablet #and like four decorative pumpkins #(and my phone at night)

Imagine if you ran a towing service and someone called you like "hey I drove into a ditch and I hate it here, shouldn't have done that, this shit sucks", and goes on to lament about how they should've gotten different tyres, describing in vivid detail exactly how it happened and how they should have done all these things differently so they wouldn't have ended up in this ditch because being in this ditch sucks so bad and they hate being in it.

And when you're like "okay alright, let me know where you're at so I can tell you roughly how long it's going to take for me to get there with the truck", they go "ooh no no no no don't send anyone, I don't want anyone to pull me out or anything. I just wanted to let someone know that I hate it here."

And that's roughly how it feels like to be a solution-person when someone just wants to vent.

I’m so emotional about dinosaur stuffed animals,,, there are these creatures, extinct long before any of us were alive, but we found their bones and their eggs and their footprints. And we made drawings and models of what they could’ve looked like. And we made them into stuffed animals so we could hold them. We made them soft so we could love them. I’m sobbing
