Two commissions for @panickedshrieking showing their OC, Aaron, being forced down onto an embalming table by their friend's OC, Harry, who is biting Aaron's neck. Aaron is terrified, but Harry's not happy about the situation either, and his feelings about his actions are on show in the second of the arts. Here, he's laid Aaron on the embalming table, and sits beside him, one hand curling into the Aaron's long hair as he cries beside his friend.

AND to hear this scene with all the emotion it deserves and my description doesn't convey, listen to this amazing audio recording they made of the scene! (I've never uploaded audio before, so I really hope this works)

[ID: Art in mostly greyscale with blood in red, showing a vampire pushing a human backwards onto an embalming table and biting his neck. The vampire is wearing a leather jacket and ripped jeans, and his hair is falling in front of his face in bangs. He is gripping the human's hair with one hand and pinning his wrist to the table with the other. The human, who has long dark hair and multiple piercings in his ear, is screaming, and gripping the back of the vampire's jacket tightly with his free hand. The shadows all around them are sharp and deep, revealing glimpses of the abandoned embalming room that they're in. End ID]

[ID: Art in mostly greyscale with blood in red, showing the vampire and human from the previous image. Now, the image is seen through an open door, framing the scene and blocking it in. The vampire is sitting beside the embalming table, upon which the human lies, his hair flowing over the edge of the table. The vampire is crying tears of blood, his head in one hand, while he is curling some of the human's hair around his other hand. The human's neck and shirt are stained with blood, and their features are expressionless as if unconscious or dead. End ID]

It’s a tough one because his hair is always glorious.

Season 2 of Redemption it is gloriously long and he had beads at the end of the finale, which is 🤩🤩🤩

Season 3 of og, I like how it changes, sometimes with little subtle braids and now my brain is just filled with the heartbreaking park scene in Big Bang Job 😭

But overall, season 2 of og has to take it! We have the braids, the beads, the floof, the curly curly in mma fight… 😍

Hey, y'all, it's been a minute, but we're still here! After getting so many great responses from the first community prompt (it was great to see how many of us found the show by word of mouth), we thought we'd do another!

Today, in honor of Christian Kane's 53rd birthday, our question is:

In which season (or single episode) do you think Eliot has the best hair game?

I love that I share my house with one of the most efficient apex predators millions of years of evolution could produce. I love that two of nature’s most prolific machines met and were like “hmmm. We should lay around and do nothing together”. Now we’re both fat and happy and full of meat. The hedonism of it all

Aubrey: Crusty son of a bitch! How dare he shove his elbow in MY ribs.

Maturin: *glare* Maybe I wouldn’t mind sitting next to you if you actually managed to hit a single beat.

Aubrey: I Was! The Whole time!

Maturin: Sure.~

Aubrey: I’m staying at the inn.

Maturin: You can find me at the coffee house. *leaves*

Leverage textposts part 23/?

I think Leverage has a really neat take on the concept of revenge.

Because a lot of times, revenge gets framed as this inherently immoral act, like it doesn't matter how evil the person you want revenge on is, it doesn't matter that stopping them is a net positive for the world, revenge is just bad and wanting it makes you bad.

But I think that a lot of the problems with most revenge narratives come from the fact that the person/people seeking revenge put too much importance on getting revenge, but there's not enough catharsis in the actual act of taking revenge. They end up left with a whole lot of left-over righteous anger, and no acceptable targets left to vent it on. That way lies the bloodline ending feuds of greek tragedy and the like.

But Leverage says "No, actually you're right, that guy is absolutely terrible, he does need to be stopped and his victims should be awarded the catharsis of revenge." But then, instead of taking the easy way out of having Hardison siphon all the money out of their accounts, or sending Elliot over to their house with a baseball bat, they complicate the revenge plot. Instead of walking the easier path of the quick and unsatisfying revenge, they insist on poetic justice and dramatic irony and the complete and utter, very public destruction of the worst people in the world.

That's why I think Leverage feels different to, say, The Count of Monte Cristo, or other revenge-centric stories. They go the extra mile to tailor their revenge to the target, and give them Exactly what they deserve.
