I’ve talked about this before but imagine what it’s like for someone in a country/place where eliot is Top Most Wanted and then your tech guy finds a breakout star baseball player on their visual scanner that looks EXACTLY like spencer. but…there’s no way that’s him, right???

and then the next year it happens again but this time it’s some one hit wonder country singer kenneth crane that has like 78 tween-run fangirl blogs dedicated to him. you see a grainy video of him being chased by a horde of screaming teenage girls and ??? no way Eliot Last Thing You’ll Ever See Spencer is a country singer star just. signing pictures of his face right…?

a few months later your intern shows you footage of an eliot lookalike who is in san lorenzo talking about how there is dog fighting in the presidential palace and you just. sigh. because of course. a scant few days later the political geography of the country changes drastically and damien moreau is imprisoned. …interesting

and then a year of silence goes by. he still shows up as blips on the radar but he must have a good hacker working for him because his tracks on the internet are expertly erased.

every time you ask through interagency channels some random interpol guy talks in (condescending?) riddles at you and it also somehow feels like he’s threatening you

and then your friend who recently got into foreign hockey teams sends you a dropyourgloves video of someone called jacques the bear. you immediately get a headache (and watch some more videos because even you can admit this guy is a good hockey player)

and you know he’s a Bad Guy but it’s been admittedly a bit entertaining seeing what claim to fame he will come upon next. and his most recent actions over the few years make you wonder.

a few months later your phone pings because multiple heads of state evacuated from DC. the reason? eliot spencer was in town. you hear two days later a bioterrorist was taken down by… the report was redacted. your hacker tells you spencer and two teammates were behind the successful operation. which, huh.

not even a full year later it is released that spencer is dead and… you don’t know how to feel.

#sorry this turned kinda angsty I just think eliot famousaliases spencer is a great reoccurring joke #eventually an indeterminate amount of months later you see him pop up again and you breathe #at this point all the intel you’ve gotten points that he’s actually doing something good with his life #like he’s changed. and you know he’s a bad guy but he’s doing things that nobody else is really capable of doing. making changes on large #and small scales #he will face consequences eventually you are sure. but his tracks are so well covered already and he’s so slippery so maybe. maybe you just #don’t make your agents work so hard to track him down #you get to know sterling a bit better (and maybe understand him a bit better too) #sterling invites you to an off the books lunch at this brewpub in portland when you’re in the states. the head chef looks familiar #it’s the best food you’ve ever tasted. because OF COURSE it is #at this point you’re not even angry. or resigned anymore. you’re slightly impressed #anyways that’s how sterling’s leverage club gains another member #(mcsweeten was the second member btw. if you’ve seen my other posts) #eliot spencer #eliot spencer meta #headcanons #humor #leverage #jim sterling #(mentioned) #the studio job #the blue line job #the three strikes job #ficlets #mine #a post not on my queue??? more likely than you think #I should make a tag for in universe pov posts #into the leverage verse #headcanons in the tags #the rundown job

like i don’t understand xi//cheng to begin with but conceptually i think it’s even funnier when ppl are like “and jingyi is their son!! 🥹” as if jingyi is not canonically ragging on jc at every single opportunity presented to him (and then some)

like this is their dynamic

#mdzs talk #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #jiang cheng #lan xichen #lan jingyi #if you’re into that. like. you do you!! #have a great time!! #i just. #conceptually it’s too funny #like rambunctious disciple + sect leader he kind of respects + sect leader he wouldn’t hesitate to drop kick into the sun #jc doesn’t know who the fuck this kid is #but if he’s got beef with him well. #jc isn’t one to back down from a fight. #jingyi tries to fight him and jc punts him into next week #(after which he may or may not have an awakening) #what kind? you choose #greatest hits

Procrastination doodles of sabo for the king sabo au :)

#one piece #sabo #king sabo au #I wonder sometimes if I keep thinking about this au because i like putting my blorbo through crushing existential nightmares #something something. it must feel so wrong to him. to be born like this and know that he’s not suppose to be there #but not having the memories of times in the wild with his brothers to contextualize why he feels wrong or where he’s supposed to be instead #directionless. knowing that he has to exist for some reason but not the reason that everyone around him tells him he should exist for #and continuing to try to bridge the cognitive dissonance through fallacy after fallacy until he is in too deep to escape #anyways. thinking about Him #Him is the academia mentality of ‘just keep going and you’ll eventually reach the light at the end of the tunnel’ #‘because you’ve tried so hard to get here and surely you must belong here because you’re so academically highly-achieving’ #does that make sense? maybe the parallel is a bit of a reach. I could write an essay about it tbh #I love this au lmao it’s both a lot of projecting and a great chance to be like ‘god I can make him so much worse’

Further fun in the notes of that terf’s Complaining About Things Nobody Said, In A Video I Didn’t Watch post

Who wants to make “Corset-Defending Coterie” t-shirts?

#historical costuming #dress history #will go nicely with the Corset Apologist pin I want to commission someday #The same comment was incredulous that the YouTuber dared to criticize some thing Mary Wollstonecraft said #which honestly seems like a very dangerous way to look at historical writing. Like. No figures should be considered critical analysis #yes she contributed a great deal too early feminist thought. But if you can’t accept criticism of what she said #you’re putting her on a pedestal and that’s not a great way to think about historical people #*above critical analysis

College (uni??) AU catering to my own interests as it should always be hehe :)

#projecting my major on Vash because them mfs who have changed from the med field majors to that one have some tragic things to tell #and also because I think that Vash would be such a wonderful designer I don’t know why it’s a gut feeling #Nai the law major because of course he would have you seen the guy #he would be a personal injury lawyer because lore #fun fact Nai rested for a semester after the incident with Vash while Vash took two.He never told Nai he would be changing majors #so it was a big big shock for him. they fought again but yk I’ll explain more on that if anyone is interested #as to Kni and WW I thought it’d be funny if they shared a common subject that required a lot of team assignments #and they can NEVER work out together. being an absolute nightmare to the rest of their group #separately they are great to work with. even if Kni can come off as too bossy sometimes he is actually a great leader #and WW would always deliver things on time exactly as it was asked from him #but Kni and WW just never really matched. Kni was too rude at times when WW made a mistake and WW would always clock him if he passed a line #like insulting his reasons for wanting to study security #one day Kni tells him at the beginning of a new semester where they both have unfortunately landed on a shared subject again #“you are not suited for that sort of job Wolfwood. you should simply give up and why don’t you go play role model to your little kids’’ #then WW beats him again and then is like hey yk what you’re kinda right. and changed majors and he feels so much more at home studying #education/teaching than security. he fucking hates some things but the end goal makes it worthy #Trigun Uni!

Spoilers for Glass Onion!

As someone who is a very avid mystery fan, it irritates me when people say the killer was too ‘obvious’ when like… that was the whole point of the movie. In order for the commentary to land, Miles had to be the killer. But realizing this earlier on doesn’t make the movie worse.

Firstly though, there are different kinds of mystery stories. There’s ones where the audience is supposed to figure out who ‘did it’ alongside the detective, there’s ones where it’s impossible for the audience to figure it out because the detective just has some extra knowledge or info that the audience can’t possibly know, and there’s ones where who did it isn’t as important as the overall story the author is ultimately trying to tell.

Glass Onion wasn’t supposed to be a nail biting whodunit where every character on screen is a possible suspect. It wants you to think that, especially at first, but when Helen shows up everything changes. Yes every one of the disrupters has their motives, but it really only ever made sense for Miles to be the one who killed Andi (and Duke), and that’s why he was.

On the first watch I did notice Miles give his drink to Duke. Like, it became obvious to me that Miles was the killer as soon as Blanc said how utterly stupid he would have to be to do that. But that doesn’t mean the rest of the movie was pointless because I already ‘figured it out’. I still didn’t know how he did it, I didn’t know who else was involved, I didn’t know how Helen would save the day. Knowing who the killer is really shouldn’t be the be all end all of a murder mystery, if it’s a good one that is.

Plus, they did tell us all along. The movie is a glass onion, not as complicated as it seems.

#also if you didn’t realize then that’s not like a failing on your part if anything that’s great I love being shocked by a reveal #you’re not dumb or something for not noticing it’s just some of us have read entirely too much Agatha Christie #glass onion #knives out #glass onion spoilers #meta #glass onion commentary #murder mystery

Lord, give me strength. The PJO discourse has begun, and no one starting it has read the books in the last five years.

#guys I just reread them a month ago; I promise that you are misremembering 90% of the og series. (I did too. it’s called passage of time.) #seriously please reread them before criticizing the show or just don’t criticize it at all. #unless you’re criticizing how it stands on its own instead of how accurate it is to the books. #I mean this in the kindest most gentle way possible because you guys are ruining what could be a great experience for yourselves #I’m over here vibing; don’t y’all wanna be vibing? vibe with me #edit: I invite y’all to rewatch the movies too actually because I keep seeing people act like the movies were better than they were. #like guys…that shit was a special kind of ass. don’t pretend it’s more true to source material (especially character wise and theme wise) #just because the show isn’t what you specifically wanted it to be. #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson #pjo adaptation #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #percy jackson disney+ #rick riordan #percy jackson series #the lightning thief

wow I didn’t think reblogging that tea post and then seeing people’s tags would deal me such strong psychic damage. come over I can fix you I can find a tea you will like. “I don’t like tea” how can you say that as a blanket statement when there are so many vastly different kinds of tea. head in hands

#‘it’s like coffee but not good’ #while a cup of black tea does have a great deal less caffeine in it than coffee #it also has a stimulant called l-theanine which is NOT found in coffee #and the more complex combination of the two stimulants hit your system much more slowly #which is why tea doesn’t give you jitters like coffee does #anyone who’s like wow I need my coffee to survive but I hate that it makes me nauseous and gives me heart palpitations and bad breath #to you I say. wean yourself off coffee and onto tea!!!!!!! #but WAIT I can keep going. nauseous? ginger tea. sore throat? peppermint contains menthol which works as a numbing agent #green and black teas are both very high in antioxidants #chamomile and lavender do both have a calming affect #BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TASTE I hear you say #IT TASTES LIKE GRASS. try a floral tea or a black tea or chai or Thai tea #ITS SO BITTER you’re either steeping it for too long or the water you’re using is too hot #not to sound like I’m fucking uncle iroh or something I just apparnerlt have strong thoughts and feelings about tea #I can’t handle ppl going ugh I hate tea and it’s like. overbrewed lipton in microwaved tap water. #anyway MY favorites are jasmine and lavender earl grey #and currently I’m really into this corn silk tea my brother bought me at h mart #it’s like gen mai cha but even more #congrats for making it this far into my tea rant tags. if you comment your tastes I can give you a personalized tea recommendation
