Gay wrongs tournament, round 2 of the major bracket
* Canonically queer M/F couples and polycules are included in the definition of gay wrongs for this poll.
Propaganda:
For the Leverage trio:
No murder (except occasionally by Elliot) but the theifsom as they are sometimes called rob from every kind of evil rich asshole they can find. Three of the best criminals in the world. Be poly do crimes. 
A canonical (Word of God) triad who run cons with the ultimate goal of helping people. Hardison is a hacker, Eliot is a hitter, and Parker is a thief
For Nadja and Laszlo:
they're both bisexual vampires who are mildly terrible people who have been together for centuries and love each other deeply and occasionally get with other people to spice the marriage up. he continuously kills her reincarnated lover Gregor because whenever he shows up, she ends up upset. also he's jack the ripper and she ran a vampire night club that before she burned to the ground to get insurance out of she embezzeled a lot from.
They’re vampires, they’re married, they’re in love. They eat people together and have done so for hundreds of years. Bi 4 bi and in a rather open relationship but loyal to eachother to the end. Lazlo refuses to return to England because they disrespected nadja when they first got married hundreds of years ago. They’re adorable together and the weirdest goddamn people ever.

OKAY OKAY so Eliot cried they let Eliot cry we got to see big macho certified Strong Man Hitter ™️ shed TEARS I cannot believe I just watched ELIOT SPENCER CRY.
Eliot Spencer who's job is the Hitter. Eliot Spencer who watches wrestling. Eliot Spencer who is a veteran, who is built like a goddamn Howizter, who every episode gets punched whacked whammied and smashed and then beats henchmen and goons to a pulp. Eliot Spencer who grew up in rural Oklahoma, served in the military, and turned himself into a living weapon, into the epitome of a Macho Manly Man who drinks beer and rides horses and plays guitar and looks like he could crumple up and stuff Tom Cruise into a Pringles can... THAT man has dedicated the rest of his life to helping the poor and powerless. THAT man learned how use his knife to cook food and feed others rather than hurt them, uses food to take care of people and show them how much he cares for them. He respects women and immigrants and the homeless and the gays. And he was adopted and raised by a black couple because of course he was, it makes perfect sense.
And he ran away to join the army because he wanted to be like his dad and make him proud and when he became something he was ashamed of he couldn't go back so he kept running and kept slowly trying to become a better man so that one day he could go home and look his father in the eye and tell him he was sorry. And when he finally worked up the courage his new family came with him, they refused to let him do this alone even though they didn't know exactly what he was afraid of because this was the one thing he couldn't share with anyone. He couldn't let them know that even after all they've been through he still wasn't sure if he deserved to be happy, still wasn't sure he was a good enough person to ever look his father in the eye again. And then he does and he hears his dad say he's proud of him and the man he's become, a man that helps people, and in that moment we can see a lifetime of shame, self doubt, regret and self hatred lift from his shoulders and in that moment he truly believes for the first time that maybe, just maybe, he deserves to be happy.
And in that moment, Eliot Spencer cries.

U from fandom asks? ✨️
Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
oh boy, in no particular order
Kaidan Alenko, Mass Effect: he's so goddamn well adjusted and has a dorito waist -plus he's the only one who calls Shepard out on their shit in 2 & 3. Also that walk he does in The Citadel DLC? hot
2. Alistair Theirin, Dragon Age: The first lines he had ("I'll name one of my children after you, the grumpy one") had me laughing and going "That one" (plus the whole 'licked a lamppost' was just the best). He's got his issues but the snarky dialogue made me want to romance him.
3. Eliot Spencer, Leverage: I mean, he can kick your ass and then make a five-star meal almost immediately after. Plus he can sing. The man does it all and will want to help you if he can. 10/10

Goddamn, I wish my dreamshit had subtitles, because I missed like 86% of the dialogue in the action movie one I was having. The good guys from several tv shows (Thinger Strangs, Leverage, David Tennant) were battling a bunch of random evil gods while the maguffin (which was a weird, metal disk that, when spun properly, allowed people to be telekinetic. The inventor was using it to play golf, badly, at one point) got spun up for the coup d' grace.
Everything from bad practical and CGI FX to goofy, guitar-based combat, with a random aside of a pornstar trying to seduce Parker. One of the baddest guys was maliciously cleaning a kitchen and making a sound logical case for a novel way to pluralize the word "milk" while I stalled for time. Another dude was yeeted off an old-timey bicycle (1950's, not Pennyfarthing type) into a river to be half-devoured by an obviously foam-rubber catfish, which barfed him into a stone bridge for the killing blow. Some low-grade godlike baddies were dispelled/slorped into a ten-foot metal disk with fancy "alien" engravings on it. A couple of terrorist-types got the shit kicked out of them by Eliot Spencer, who kept up a running dialogue about how they went to the wrong rendezvous point, which was really inconvenient for everyone. Harry Wilson was doing the Tony Stark pose and CGI-blasting a couple of guys that were basically the dude from American Psycho.
Just before the climactic battle, the Mayor of Whatever City was holding a press conference on the steps of city hall and said, "If you're not out of here in five minutes... I AM CALLING YOUR MOTHERS."
Unfortunately, there were like seven baddies left when a barfing cat woke me up. I really wanted to see how it played out. I mean, I knew the plan, but not the denouement.
There was a separate dream earlier where it was yet another iteration of "trying to run several events in a labrynthine hotel" - this time, including holding the Superb Owl[1] in a ballroom, cleaning up after (breaking down and packing up an inordinate number of cardboard boxes before TechOps could set up the lighting for the next event), and trying to catch up Kirk and Chevron while constantly being interrupted and having to do so over and over again.
[1] I may see if any sportsbooks are offering odds that there will be more than one safety in the real game, because my subconscious said that KC committed three... but it also said they were playing the Steelers, who were unimpressed that I was taking a nap among their sideline equipment while fully kitted out in Bills attire.

What is your favourite live action holiday movie?
I hope this question covers 'movies that happen to be on that holiday and not about it' because. Buddy. Are you ready for an answer so obscure that when I tried to crosscheck that it did take place on the holiday I thought it did, fucking Google couldn't confirm. I literally had to double check with my friend who's seen this movie more than me-
Warrior (2011) because the final fight takes place on the 4th of July and as it happens I first saw this movie on the 4th of July.
Now without further ado LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES
The synopsis from IMDB says:
The youngest son of an alcoholic former boxer returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament - a path that puts the fighter on a collision course with his estranged, older brother.
Starring: Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte, Jennifer Morrison, Frank Grillo
But this movie- Y'ALL THIS MOVIE. Oh, it is a gut punch from start to finish. It is a beauty. The synopsis makes it seem like the oldest brother is estrange WHEN IN FACT it is the youngest (played by Tom-Fucking-Hardy) who has basically cut off contact with everyone after him and his mother left town to escape his abusive, alcoholic dad. He is sullen, moody, angry, doesn't talk much - AND HE FUCKING PUNCHES LIKE ELIOT GODDAMN SPENCER.
And this kid - and he is, there is such a young boyishness to his pain - has gone back to the same abusive, alcoholic dad (who is now sober) to ask him to train him how to box so that he can get into this amateur MMA fight for the prize money (THE REASONS WHY WILL MAKE YOU BAWL).
As for his relationship with his dad (Nick Nolte)? It's a resounding FUCK YOU, I'M NOT HERE FOR YOU.
Meanwhile. The older brother. The one who stayed behind when the mom and the youngest left. His response to his dad is also a big old FUCK YOU OLD MAN. He did not stay for his old man.
He stayed for his girlfriend (Allison Morrison), and guess what? They have a wonderful marriage, and two beautiful little kids together, and his only only fucking regret is that he doesn't know what happened to his brother.
But now he has a problem- see, one of his daughters is real sick. And they've got medical bills piling up. And he's got a mortgage they're falling behind on. And this guy, this wonderful soft-spoken caring guy, he's a teacher. He loves his job, but he doesn't make good money, and his wife is already working extra, and they need the money. So he's been doing underground boxing. But he got caught, and now he's been suspended from his job, so his only option is to enlist the help of his friend (Frank Grillo, aka Crossbones from Captain America) who is a zen-like, classical music loving gym owner to train this guy up for this amateur MMA fight for the prize money
The same one his little brother is aiming for. The same- do you get it? They are both entering a boxing match and they don't know the other one is going to be there.
And because the youngest son is going under his mother's surname no one else knows they're related either.
What's this got to do with 4th of July? It never fucking says, but if I were to read in too deep it would be something about independence. Something about how these two people, who separated from each other and built lives independent of each other, were ultimately never that far apart. Their separate paths led them right back home. Their shared history means they were always going to be together, even if they never never crossed paths again they would always be walking the same road. They were shaped alongside each other. Just. Love, man.
Anyways, by the end of the movie it's the 4th of July and I'm bawling my fucking eyes out. It's also just a really, really good fighting movie.

Thoughts on round 1 of the blorbo bracket, because holy shit that was a twist I didn't see coming!
Leverage fandom SHOWED UP and completely decimated Tumblr favorites Jon Sims AND Percy Jackson!! In my head, the only one that was going to be a toss up was Andrew Minyard vs Eliot Spencer, because they're both blorbos I used to post about on this blog a lot but never really got a lot of interaction with content on; I figured Eliot had more of a chance cause he's more recent, but to balance it out I reblogged all posts related to books or podcasts to my books and podcasts sideblog, which, uh, didn't help.
The Parker vs Percy showdown was particularly intense, with Parker's insane 77% lead eventually becoming less than 60%, and ending on more than 1100 votes, by far the most on any other poll in the first round. I believe that if the polls were up for a week rather than a day, the tide would've turned and Percy would've come up on top - excuse the water metaphor - but since I have no patience to wait a full week for these brackets, we'll never know. I guess I might do a second chance poll for first round rejects if there's an interest.
I'm a little sad but not surprised the All For The Game didn't make it to round 2 at all, and only one character from the Raven Cycle did. Another fandom that ended up unrepresented is Star Trek; Seven of Nine was actually in the lead for most of the day, but Matt fans pulled through in the end. And I'm very surprised that Tara won by such a large margin, I didn't realize how many people who follow me actually appreciate Tara for how amazing she is. Or maybe they just know who she is lmao.
The only result I knew in advance was that Tim would win - seeding this bracket was really fucking hard, actually, because I didn't want all the brackets to have obviously extremely popular characters facing unknowns, but I also didn't want to pit characters from the same media against each other in the first or second round, and and and... Basically it just came out that a character who would otherwise be a semi finalist might end up eliminated in the second round, and we're just going to have to live with what happens when he faces Peter Parker.
I didn't say this in the polls themselves bc it felt inappropriate, but if Wade Wilson isn't a finalist I'm going to lose my goddamn mind.
Ok that's it love y'all sorry for the late polls but I had dnd lmao I'll try to prepare them ahead of time tomorrow

10 fandoms, 10 characters, 10 tags
Finally, a tag game I'm going to absolutely ace, pun intended!!
tagged by: @queerofthedagger (and I think @schitthappens, a while ago)
rules: List ten of your fandoms and your favorite character from each!
BBC Merlin — Merlin
Schitt's Creek — Alexis Rose
The Locked Tomb Series — Palamedes Sextus
Star Trek — Spock
House MD — James Wilson
Star Wars — Obi-Wan Kenobi
Mob Psycho 100 — Mob
The Sandman — Dream of the Endless
Leverage — Eliot Spencer
ATLA — Toph Beifong
tagging: @unconventionalcat @st4rm41d @blackandwhiteandrose @vanillahigh00 @januarium @paintedpigeon1 @zaharya @schweetheart @thewildmother @sspaz1000 (do my SC friends even have 10 fandoms? time to find out :P)
More yelling about my choices under the cut, which isn't required but I'm psychologically compelled to do it:
Merlin — I almost put Gwaine, but the thing about Merlin is... he's so kind despite his loneliness. He's so brave despite his grief. And his devotion to Arthur is beautiful, even when it's also heartbreaking. I love how much he cries, but also how much he cries and kicks ass anyway, which is something fic writers seem to miss a lot of the time. He's emotional but he's also very capable.
Alexis — haha, surprise!!! I love D/P as a ship so goddamn much, but Alexis' character growth is fucking unparalleled. Annie Murphy's acting choices are phenomenal — just watch KCFH to see how much of Alexis' persona was carefully manufactured as character-building, not Annie's actual mannerisms. And to go from a vapid socialite to a boss-ass businesswoman who is nonetheless very fashion-forward and still, at times, incredibly silly? I love that. I love her. More women like her on TV, please.
Palamedes — Another hard choice between him and Gideon, but my brain is locked in Sixth House mode right now. I relate way too much to Pal, and I also love him. A certified nerd who's deeply compassionate. His deep love for Camilla and his protectiveness over her, which is kind of hilarious considering his noodle arms and her terrifying competence. The fact that he looked at the Ninth House and decided they were friend material, when they didn't know it themselves and were actively hostile to the entire idea. He worked out the secret to Lyctorhood before anybody else did, and decided it just wasn't for him, thanks? Because he didn't want to do that to Cam? And (spoilers for later books!!!!) the way he's so fucking badass that he and Cam worked out another way that even Jod hadn't figured out??? Goddamn. Just call me Archivist Juno Zeta, because that nerd boy is my SON.
Spock — TOS most specifically. I hardly need to explain my love for maybe THE most iconic Star Trek character of all time, but I will anyway. Autistic and gay icon, hilarious dry wit, shining devotion to his captain. (If you're noticing a pattern with my favorite characters, no you aren't.) Science-y boy who doesn't fit in anywhere, but has people who love him. Also I love his banter with Bones.
Wilson — He's a bit like Aziraphale, where he's just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing. His relationship with House is so fucked up but at the same time he's a doormat to everybody and House lets him be MEAN and that's actually really important? Ppl look at their relationship on the surface and don't get it because they think Wilson is so kind and sweet and he is but he's also kind of a dick. Idk I just contracted COVID so I'm suspecting the rest of this post is going to start making less and less sense.
Obi-Wan Kenobi — I'm a sucker for characters like him. Kind and compassionate and selfless, but also hilariously sarcastic sometimes. Licherally the perfect Jedi, and loves Anakin so much but couldn't be everything he needed in the end. I blame the war tbh. I also love reading books from his perspective because releasing your feelings into the Force is some excellent mindfulness shit that we could all use some more practice in.
Mob — Mob is awesome because he's already the most powerful psychic. Like, that's never a question. The question is what will trigger him using his powers, what emotions he's feeling, and his own moral questions about obliterating other people with his super-powerful psychic abilities. And I think that's awesome! He's a lot like Merlin, really. Compassionate and really doesn't want to wipe the floor with you, but he will if he's forced into it.
Dream — hehe he's just so angsty all the time and I love that. Plus, galaxy eyes. I read the comics a looooong time ago, but I just bought one of the new collections and I'm gonna re-read them all.
Eliot — Okay Eliot is just. He's so. His thing about "I only use violence as an appropriate response" followed by immediately decking Sterling kinda sums him up. I love that he's so grumpy and "hostile" to the team but it's literally all bark and no bite because physically he would never, ever hurt them. But he will absolutely show up and beat the shit out of anyone else threatening them. Tiny angry man with fabulous hair. My beloved.
Toph — Yeeaaaaaaaaaaaa! I don't really need to explain why Toph rocks, but I love that she's a tiny feral gremlin girl. Like, a VERY angry ten-year-old who's out here inventing forms of earthbending that have never been seen before. She rocks, pun intended. And I refuse to believe she would become a cop. That chaos demon of a girl??? Nooooo

so Parker has this habit of being physically affectionate with Eliot, right? where she'll casually bump into him, or sit close to him for no apparent reason (and there's multiple open spots), or, you know, poke him over and over until he tells her to stop. and this is just how they are.
but it's a little strange in a way. Parker isn't a very physically affectionate person. she seems to hate being touched by other people without her consent, and understandably so! she's spent a lot of her life where non-consensual touch is dangerous! but she is willing to initiate, if infrequently. and that's true with the whole crew (though it is rarer with Sophie and Nate). it isn't that she doesn't like physical contact. she just likes it on her own terms.
and then there's Eliot--who is not touchy-feely, who largely ignores causal contact, and yet still seems to enjoy it by degrees. and of course we cannot forget the all-important moment in Queen's Gambit, when it would appear a drugged Eliot is a cuddly Eliot, and isn't that interesting? isn't it interesting, how he's willing to occasionally initiate hugs that aren't asked for, even when not drugged? how he seems to enjoy giving things like handshakes and little pats on the back and nudges? Eliot perhaps likes contact more than he lets on.
but he, like Parker, has lived in a world where "touch" means something different. he has seen what his touch does to people. he is too dangerous, meant to be too dangerous, to be casually tactile. it isn't even a conscious thing, per se. it is merely the unconscious awareness that he is not someone to be physically affectionate with.
(and it is probably a cultural thing too, of course, because a man, especially of his origin, is not supposed to be someone dependent on others, is not one to show the weakness of anything more than manly pats on the back and handshakes and the rare formal hug.)
but Parker?
Parker has trusted him from the beginning, trusted him so much that three jobs in she threw herself out a window and relied on him to catch her without hesitation. she knows he is the firm foundation. she finds it hard to believe he can even be hurt. she spares not a second thought to bump into him, to easily throw an arm over his shoulder or perch herself on the back of his chair. she doesn't do this with the others, not even Hardison, not at first.
and it is hard to tell what precisely her intent is. Parker is a multifaceted person with so much going on beneath her surface that her many-sided motives are difficult to parse at the best of times. perhaps she's just enjoying seeing how far she can push his boundaries. after all, she's never been afraid of poking bears. her curiosity begs to see: how much will he take before he snaps at her?
(and what would he actually do?)
or maybe it's instinct, an instinct borne of too many dangerous homes and too many poisonous families, the instinct to find the edges of the box and make sure she only strays when she knows the consequences. maybe he surprises her when he never pushes back so hard that she has to stop altogether. maybe she enjoys having someone whose affection and protection will never be lessened by her teasing.
or maybe--just maybe--she sees that he likes the trust, likes being regarded as so safe that she can do whatever she likes, even if he can't admit it even to himself. how long has it been, after all, that someone has known him for all he is and still has such careless ease around him? how long has it been since someone has seen all his sharp edges and doesn't care? how long since someone trusted him not to cut them?
(or perhaps it’s all of the above, for people are locks, and locks have more than one tumbler.) 
Parker's trust is a gift with a worth beyond measure. Eliot knows this well. her sense of security around him is something to be marked and treasured. and it is a reminder that despite all he's done, despite the fact that people are knives and he is an obsidian blade, among the sharpest of them all, he is not meant only for hurting. he can be trusted. he can be trusted by a wary thief who has seen far too much pain at the hands of men like the one he once was, and does that not make him worthy of love?
and then there is Parker. Parker, who has a friend (something more, if we're honest, so much more than a mere friend, and as the years pass that becomes ever more apparent) whom she has seen take down a group of thugs within the space of seconds, who is capable of more violence than she (in her violence-filled life) has ever seen, whose hands have wrought so much hurt--a friend that she is perfectly confident would never lay an unwanted finger on her. Parker, who has spent her whole life dancing on the knife's edges of other people. Parker, who has fallen on those blades more times than she knows. Parker, who has looked for a home for years and never quite found it.
and now? now Parker has Eliot, whom she feels safe to be physically affectionate with. because she knows he'll always come for her. she knows he'll never hurt her. she knows that no matter what, she can nudge him and bump him and sit close to him and invade his personal space, and the most he'll do to divert her--if he does anything at all--is raise his voice and gently push her off, and he'll never, ever, ever hold it against her.
she has security. she has affection whenever she wants it. she has a home. she has something that she has always wanted--finally, she has this, Parker has her family.
and what more, really, could you ask for?
