The Nigerian Job is such a special pilot to me. “THE Parker?” “Is there someone better?” “No, but Parker is insane”. “I don’t even know what it is you do” to “That’s what I do”. The OT3 elevator scene. Eliot helping to haul Hardison out of the warehouse before it explodes. Their mini-con escape from the hospital. “What’s in it for me?” “Payback, and if it goes right, a lot of money” “What’s in it for me?” “A lot of money, and if it goes right, payback” and “I was just gonna send 1000 porno magazines to his office but hell yeah”. The Sophie “this isn’t her stage” reveal. The bait and switch that they meant for Dubenich to know he was being conned. “It’s a walk away job” but none of them do. “So go find some bad guys. Bad guys have money.” It does so much good work to establish what this show and these characters could become without jumping the gun on making them get too close too fast.
Like, the thesis of the episode is Nate’s “You all know what you can do, but I know what you can do together” and it’s such a fantastic way to handle a pilot because it’s all about potential: we understand immediately that these people are already hyper competent, but by the end of the episode we see what they could become together too. It’s about showing you the tentative beginnings of this partnership and all the space it still has to grow.
So I’m seeing Endgame tomorrow and trying to avoid a lot of social media until then but here’s my contribution to the fandom – I’ll draw more after Awesome Con! (I used these character posters for ref x, x, x) – [ETSY]
So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
modern day au, where geralt is still a witcher and jaskier is a violinist who busks on the subway.
they meet when geralt is taking down a hoard of vampires who are nesting in one of the tunnels. he gets flung through one of the walls and lands at jaskier's feet - his eyes are deadly black and his teeth are viciously bared, he looks fucking horrifying, but all the busker does is tut, cause this man might be devilishly handsome and he might have literally been tossed through a wall by some nightmarish entity, but he's literally caused all of jaskier's hard-earned cash to scatter across the ground and some of it has fallen onto the tracks, like how is he supposed to get that back?
geralt groans in pain, takes up his sword and glances up at the pretty violinist. feels dazed and oddly captivated by this utterly unphased musician.
meanwhile, jaskier arches a brow, despite feeling flushed and awed, and waves his bow airily in geralt's face.
"do you, like," he says, faltering with a confused wrinkle of his nose, "need an advil, or something?"
