the native anglophone does not know that the concept of translation and 200 papers in 50 different languages already exist

look im not saying you can't call eliot genderweird or nonbinary or a dyke or what have you, i'm saying that if your reason for calling him that is "masc man with long hair", you need to rethink it. christian kane is part native and it's racist to say a native man has long hair for gender reasons, flat out. it's racist!

working class men in oklahoma often have long hair, it's just part of our culture here. culture seems like a loaded word, but it's true. culture includes fashion! and fashion includes hair. eliot is a very masc man, and his hair is part of that. even masc men keep their hair in good condition!

and if you have other reasons- thats fine! just keep in mind that saying a man, especially a native man, having long hair is because theyre not really a man is racist. saying a man isn't really a man because they have long hair is classist. and maybe thats not what you mean to say! but it's what you're saying.

and i think its fine and fun to say he's got some kind of gender thing! but it's not about his hair. eliot is a masc man very confident in his masculinity and i think it's a fun new dimension to make him transmasc! and you can imagine him how you want, i'm not the brain police. but keep in mind why you think that.

Had a painting picnic with my best friend today, and of course I had to make the one and only to go in my shrine. I tried to make it look like he got a bit close to the fire on the canvas lol, not sure if I achieved that but he's cute anyway :D

Leverage (2008) // eliot fighting for his life in the background

[oh2e]

the funniest thing nate ford ever did was run up like twelve flights of stairs racing an elevator to press every floor button to stall sterling

[oh2e]

one of the best gags in leverage is when the crew starts naming random cons, even better when they disagree and give us just enough information to be more confused - "it's like the cherry pie, but with lifeguards" or "the roper has a glass eye. No! It's a cue ball." bafflingly perfect, 10/10.

But a close second is when they just reference a con they did, without giving us any useful information. Now we see physical bits during like the broken wing job which is great. Or the night out jobs where they show the chaos of both nights in pieces from the other side. But I had forgotten in the 'cross my heart job' they were doing crazy crazy things. They were on the emerald isle, Sophie was pretending to be french on a topless beach, Eliot was in a shipwreck fighting three ex-brazilian combat divers with harpoons underwater, and hardison apparently faked a volcano eruption??

no notes. a perfect show truly

[oh2e]

With a character like Sophie, who is so inherently charismatic and sexy (which is like 90% of her job), it was such a Choice to introduce her with her terrible stage acting fr. Truly unmatched.

Parker is first on screen hanging upside down and then shouting with unfettered glee as she launches herself off a building (ahead of the count). Let alone the little flashback of her as a child blowing up her childhood home and running off with her thieved Bunny.

It's something I love about the Leverage pilot is that like. Yeah, Parker and Sophie are hot but they're also Freaks and you HAVE to be down for them as Freaks to get on this train. They're not just hot hypercompetent genre cliches, they're unhinged messes in their own ways. Just. Women.

Leverage (2008) // eliot entrances

[oh2e]

nate: here's our hitter, eliot spencer. he's the best of the best at combat and weaponry

nate: no one is better than him at disarming large numbers of enemies without going down

nate: he can identify weaponry by sound and organizations by fighting style, hair cut, and shoes

nate: we use him for honeypots

[oh2e]

Did someone make a post once about Sterling’s daughter being a fan of Kenneth Crane and it driving him up the wall because it’s really Eliot and they hate each other? Because it would.

[oh2e]

can't believe the plot of leverage is literally 'man gets hired to be a project manager for Crime and then is forcefully adopted by the employees he doesn't want'

[oh2e]

> looking at a new popular collectible

> ask the people if it's objects or gambling

> they don't understand

> pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is objects and what is gambling

> they laugh and say "it's a good collectible sir"

> look up how to buy a collectible

> its gambling

[oh2e]

Everyone else when they’re undercover during a con: *just standing around* *miming the actions of the job they’re supposed to be doing* “What supervisor, there’s a very valid reason I’m not doing my job, I, uh……”

Eliot freaking Spencer: Guys stop the crime for a minute I have to go deliver these pizzas. I have to plate 300 hors-d'œuvres by 7:00. Get out of my way I have to go build a house with my bare hands.

I like how leverage has a genius character and an autistic character but the autistic character isn't the genius character. the genius is a 22 year old black man with adhd who becomes an expert in anything you give him within 24 hours and the autistic character is a white woman who jumps off buildings for fun and once stabbed a man with a fork because he encroached on her personal space and sense of moral conduct
