Leverage 2x14 - "The Three Strikes Job"

[purpleshadow-star]

Personally, I think Andrew would really like the song "I Sent My Therapist To Therapy" by Alec Benjamin. I think he would find it super amusing. He plays it for Neil one day and asks him if he ghostwrote it. Neil isn't amused. He then plays it for Bee one day in therapy, and she finds it much more amusing, though he finds the following questions and analysis of why he finds it relatable were less so. Secretly, though, Bee is just happy that Andrew found something that he liked enough that he cared to share it.

Hi! A latina here!

I wanted to tell you "GIRL, YOU'RE AMAZING". The way you write the characters are so like them (Dean, Ben/Soldier Boy, Boaz Priestly, Alec, etc) and everytime I read a new story i'm like "Oh, yeah, here we go!" I have read several times they Boaz Priestly ones because I really enjoy them and there's no much about him.

Anyways, excited about yours next stories!!

(sorry for my English, I'm not used to the language).

Hey there!! I love connecting with another lovely Latina. 💜💜

Aw thank you so much for that compliment! 🥰 I do my best to keep the characters in character, whether it's their actions, mannerisms, or dialogue. And wow, that's awesome!! Love that you enjoy my two Priestly stories. He's such a fun character lol.

Would love to know what you think on those future stories! Thank you so much for reading. 💜

(And no worries, your English is perfectly fine.)

rewatching s1 of broadchurch even tho im halfway through my first watch of s3 because i have an obsession with rewatching things and DAMN there are way more hints at who ended up being the killer than i originally thought, and a bunch of moments that are really ironic in hindsight

spoilers under the cut (yes it came out like 10 years ago but im still putting a spoiler warning)

ep1 - joe and ellie talk in the kitchen after hardy makes the statement to the media

joe: do you know what happened? i mean should we be worried for other kids?

on first watch, his tone of voice and body language here just seem like confused and worried parent, but on second, there's definitely a hint of panic in his voice

ep2 - joe, tom and fred in the cafe

joe: this is a terrible, unspeakable thing thats happened. but nothing like it will ever happen again here

tom: you cant know that though can you? you cant be sure

then after this joe's facial expression looks SO guilty like he can't think how to respond

ep3 - hardy questioning tom with joe in the room

hardy: can you think of anyone who would want to hurt danny?

THEN THE CAMERA IMMEDIATELY CUTS TO JOE. ik near the end joe swears he never wanted to hurt him but this is still a rly clever piece of editing, i love when shows do this. also the fact that in every scene where he's questioning tom, joe's in the room and occasionally talks but he's never in the frame of the camera hardys using to record it. he was literally right under their noses the entire time and they never suspected because they were focused on other people too much

ep4 hardy goes to the millers" for dinner

this scene hits so much different on second viewing holy shit. at one point they're talking about marriage and work and how hardy's divorce was partially work-related and:

hardy: this job, it does it to you

ellie: well, not to us

ellie actually makes me sob she loves her life so much then it all just comes crashing down on her

joe: do you think you're gonna solve this case?

hardy: certain.

joe: good :)

joe's reply itself here makes sense but there's a few seconds before he says it where his face is just blank and mildly panicked. he's genuinely worrying about being caught at this point.

now this one isn't a direct hint or anything but just if you think about the dialogue in a different context...yeah it fits

hardy: you bloody liar

joe: ive said nothing

hardy: and yet-

joe said nothing to the police or ellie and yet was lying the WHOLE time.

ep5 - brian asks ellie out

ellie: sorry, im married

brian: and thats an issue is it?

ellie: happily married, brian

brian: oh. okay, fair enough. only lots of people aren't though, are they?

ellie: i am.

THE IRONY OH ELLIE LET ME GIVE YOU A HUG PLEASE

ep6 - jack's wake

ellie spends the whole scene looking around to see if anyone looks worried, at one point she looks into a room (seemingly at nige but joe is stood nearby having a different conversation) and she makes eye contact with joe RIGHT as the camera cuts away

ep 6 - joe takes tom to the skate park and ellie arrives

ellie: i was just looking round that bar at the wake thinking "its someone here, why cant i see it?" the longer this goes on, im starting to suspect everyone

joe: when you say everyone...

ellie: well, nearly everyone

this is probably the most obvious hint that i can't believe i didn't catch on to. of COURSE they're gonna make a point for the killer to be the ONE person ellie LITERALLY SAYS she isn't suspicious of.

ep7 - ellie lets susan leave the police station

ellie (about susan's past with her husband and daughters): in your own house, how could you not know?

just ow. the irony of it all. fucking ow.

Speed demon Alec Lightwood

Shadowhunters don’t really use cars in the show, but I still kinda want to believe that if he drove, Alec would be a speed demon. Including cursing out others on the street for doing it wrong. Magnus is either very indulgent and amused by this, or, if I go with him getting motion sickness from a previous headcanon, likes playfully blaming Alec’s driving for said motion sickness, even though he had it for centuries.

[faithfromanewperspective]

seeing takes about how in the harry potter universe it’s just. normalised to have magic and not help people (muggles) with it and no one even questions it really makes me appreciate our shadowhunter universe a lot more. james herondale. alec lightwood. and many many others who despite being built on bigoted social systems (which developed despite their mandate being literally to protect mundanes) they want to help people of all kinds and strive for equality and they want their society as a whole to do that. it’s really lovely seeing this reflected in my favourite characters and getting to enjoy their stories and the media as a whole and feel validated and not weird for wanting this too. and then to see these protagonists win overall: if not creating the world they want, their motivations and decisions they make along the way leading to a world that’s better for their actions and I really think we need more of this. and for that we can’t let our criticism get away from us even when it’s not perfect

[accirax]

Why did I think he was (cosplaying) Bill Cipher for a second there-! 😆

The art looks great tho, really sweet! (in every sense of the word lol)

you're so real for that. i read that it was Alec before i saw the image, but god damn if that is not a tumblr sexyman bill cipher fit. love his little hat, and the overall color palette-- really lovely work!

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

Concerning The Low Low Price Job- I just appreciate everything Leverage Team does to sabotage Value!More.

Don't get me wrong- I understand Hardison's point. But I respect and understand Eliot's point. But everything- everything they did! Oh my gosh- I'm crying.

It's refreshing to see the lady scramble.

(I work in that kinda environment. I love my job- but... yeah I resonate with this episode WAY to much.)

[insomniaccoffeebean]

Hi, I'm insomniac_coffeebean, I write fanfiction, and I'm complealty open to suggestions, I will warn you. I write a little slow, but I'll notify you whenever it's finished, if you wanna look at som of my writing before you decide if you want me to write somthing for you then you can check me out on ao3 as insomniac_coffeebean.

But, I'll write in the Batman Fandom (spisifically the batfam) Shadowhunters and daredevil(tv).

You can literally ask for anything. The worst that could happen is that i might say no.

So, as far as guidelines go, here are the dont's:

I will NOT write anything involving the pairing of family members, whether they're adopted family or biological, I won't write anything involving Role reversal/ reverse verse, a/b/o, modern setting/ human, age play, high school or collage Au, foot fetish, scat, anything that focuses on clary frey or her struggles (this is a hate clary fairchild page, fuck that red headed bitch)water sports. (Other things to be added)

I WILL totally do smut, as long as it's consensual, I'll totally do cannon divergence, soulmate AU really any AU as long as they're still whatever that are in cannon, for instance in the shadowhunter Fandom, Alec is a shadowhunter and Magnus is a warlock, in whatever AU they will still have any powers that they do in cannon.

Charictures that I personally love to write and i would encourage you to include in whatever promt you send:

Foggy Nelson, JASON TODD (hes my favorite DC character) dick Grayson, Matt murdock, Magnus Bane, ALEC LIGHTWOOD (hes my favorite Shadowhunters character) Jace Wayland (lightwood? Harendale?) PETER PARKER and WADE. W. WILSON (theyre both like my favs)

Although, you enviously don't have to include any of these charictures, Seriously, let you imaginations run wild, I'll write it and then I'll @ you on Tumblr when it's been posted.

[cabeswaterdrowned]

I should do a uquiz one day where I just put a bunch of quotes and scene descriptions from canon gay couples Cassandra Clare has written and in every set is a Jem/Will quote and I ask ya’ll to pick which one you think it is

[rodolfoparras]

Hulloo I just wanted to say thanks for posting, like... at all ever. Especially for Price.

Finding m reader writers is hard out here gang, so I just wanted to say thank you for your service o7 (and kiss kiss mwah mwah <3)

Friend thank you!! For reading my work. It’s a two way street and I appreciate it beyond words!

[zepskies]

Not really a question but they're a very few writers that write fanfiction that have really affected me. Not just their work but the way their work and posts reflect them and I can count on one hand how many there are and you're one of them. Your work is just so captivating, I've literally laughed out loud so many times and it is a source of comfort as right now I'm probably going through the hardest period of my life and have to start therapy even though I'm on the younger spectrum of things. I don't mean to dump here, just wanted to let you know that your work really does mean the world, it really really does.

And i love how your choice of obsession is the lovely Jensen Ackles.

Please do let me know if you're still taking reqs or taglists for soldier boy!

:)x

@lifeonawhim You just made my whole week, hun! 🥹

This in particular warmed me:

Not just their work but the way their work and posts reflect them and I can count on one hand how many there are and you're one of them.

That's such an amazing compliment, and it truly means so much to me. One of the reasons why I write fanfiction along with my original stuff is not just to explore fandoms and characters that I love, but also for the reason you messaged me. I'm so glad my work has been able to brighten your day, make you laugh, distract you from your troubles in whatever small way.

Though I'm sorry that you're going through a hard time. Trust me, I've been there, and therapy can be a wonderful and essential part of working through it. Because unfortunately, being young in life doesn't always mean you can escape challenging times, anxiety, or trauma (I can relate). It's more than okay to need help, and to ask for it.

As Jared says, "Always keep fighting." 💗

And you're not "dumping" at all. Thank you very much for letting me know that my work means something to you! That encouragement is just as important for me, as a writer and a person, as is reading things that are able to comfort you when you're down.

Jensen's characters are certainly my current obsession! lol But believe me, I've had others: Loki/Tom Hiddleston, Jon Snow/Kit Harrington, Clark Kent/Tom Welling, and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier/Sebastian Stan just to name a few.

About my Tag Lists:

I've been combing through my tag lists recently to remove blogs that are no longer active or look like bots, so I was able to add you to my Soldier Boy tag list! 💜 If you would like to be added to other tag lists of mine that are still open, feel free to check out my nifty Tag List Form and add yourself.

As for requests:

So my requests are "officially" closed. I've written a lot of requests in the past year, but I still have several in my inbox because a few more trickle in lol. But since you've been so very kind, if you have a request go ahead and send it to my inbox. I can't promise that I'll get to it right away, but if an idea grabs me, I can't not do it, if that makes sense. 😉

Thank you again for sending me such a lovely message to brighten up my day!

[fleurmatisse]

my favorite bit from the end of city of bones was alec making himself laugh and clary being baffled kcjdkd

[lurafita]

While I can understand where OP is coming from (because God knows that I'm in the same kind of agnoy where Peter Parker is concerned and people who only know him from the MCU),

I believe that it is important to understand and respect that different people like different things, and that no one version of a character or a universe should be seen as superior to others.

I like to think of the show as a visualized "what if" canon divergent fanfiction. And while I can rant on and on about how many details and explanations in the show's canon are just not given, and how I would have liked more background info for Magnus especially (because his history must be so rich!), I can't say that I have any interest in the books.

I like that Alec is taller than Magnus

I love that Magnus is portrayed by Harry Shum Jr.

I am so, fucking, unbelievably, immesurably glad that they didn't do a secret relationship for Malec in the show. I HATE secret relationship plots.

I like that the characters are aged up.

I like that Alec has brown eyes instead of blue. Everyone always idolizes blue eyes so much, while brown is seen as so boring. I love how warm brown eyes are. How deep they seem.

I love Madzie.

I like that it has not been established that Alec will never become immortal. I can't stomach the thought of Magnus having to bury his husband. And any kids that they might have in the future. I can't think of him going through that. My headcanon is that Alec will become immortal, purely out of love for his husband, because he can't bear to be yet another person who will leave Magnus.

I like that there was no war. I like that the show didn't kill a kid character. I like that this gives me the opportunity to think up all kinds of headcanons for young Max being a prankster and how his relationship with his warlock brother in law developes as well.

I like that they didn't kill Raphael.

I like that the show stopped before they got to the rumored evil!Magnus arc.

I like that I am free to imagine what comes after for Magnus and Alec.

I like that I'm not tied to either canon, but am free to imagine everything and anything I want for them.

I like that ao3 has a feature that makes me exclude tags that I don't want to read about, like "book canon", or "secret relationship", or "blue-eyed Alec".

I like that people have book canon, and tv-show canon, and movie canon, and are free to pick and choose and create a narrative, a plot, a world that fits their own desire.

I like that, even the things I don't like, even the things that frustrate me, are there. To inspire and tease and challenge the fandom into greater and greater numbers of fandom content.

And lastely, I like that people are free to vent their frustration in a way which is safe, like this post. That gives them a place and a means to shout when they need to, and fuel discussion if they want to, and find like minded people who think the same as they do.

I hope every Malec fan has a wonderful fandom experience and a great rest of the week.

i truly hate the show bc YOU GUYS DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE MISSING WHEN YOU WATCH THE SHOW BEFORE READING THE BOOKS

you dont know that magnus’ magic is the same striking blue as alec’s eyes

you dont know alec’s eyes are the same color as the ancestors of a family so intertwined with his

you don’t know that magnus sees ghosts in the blue of alec’s eyes

you don’t know magnus is two inches taller than alec

you dont know that alec loves that magnus is taller than him

you don’t know that they dated in secret for months

you dont know alec’s wardrobe is absolutely hopeless and he only wears years old worn out sweaters with holes in the cuffs and magnus loves it

you dont know that sometimes magnus wears his worn out sweaters

you dont know that they didnt get married for years until alec became consul and they could get married in warlock blue and shadowhunter gold under his new law

you dont know they have two kids, before they ever married

you dont know their first son is named after alec’s brother max, who actually died during the war

you dont know that max’s skin is blue, and his eyes are just a shade darker than alec’s

you dont know that alec loved one man so much he changed the world for him

[volturissideslut]

Hello!! I'm so sorry to ask but if it's okay can you do a thingy with the Volturi (all of them please) on how they would react to their human mate being on their 🩸🩸if you know what I mean. If not that is completely understandable and okay! Thank you for reading!! :3 🌹🫶

𝖁𝖔𝖑𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖎

Contains some nsfw thoughts. I've been thinking of writing a period nsfw fic with one of the vamps, lmk what you think

Aro, like most vampires, has been around for a long long time. And though he does not regard humans as being worthy of his time, you are different. You are his mate. And so he takes it upon himself to learn everything. To read studies, to understand your experience, to know what he can do to help you. The Volturi donates to charities of endometriosis and others. Even long after you are turned he continues, the money is nothing to him and even though you no longer live you know. Aro will always do his best to understand you

Marcus would be so attentive with you and just do as you ask. He's a rather mellow and agreeable man (at least with you he is) and so he is more than happy to be at your beck and call. Want space? you got it. Want to basically be one with him from how close you are? He's laid down and waiting for you to get yourself comfortable. The man just keeps his mouth shut and does as you ask. Happy wife happy life, a phrase taken a little to literally for him in her every moment.

Caius just wants to eat you out honestly. Please ride his face, let him eat you out and taste your blood. He has also heard that it can help with any cramps and pains so, not to worry, dear Caius is at your service. Who is he to refuse you? To refuse a meal and a feast all in one would just be wrong.

Jane only experienced them for a few years, and though she doesn't necessarily remember them she is the most empathetic. Outwardly she may not do much - but in the privacy of your own shared chambers there is nothing you can compare. Nothing soothes like her gentle touch, or the natural remedy passed from her grandmother to her mother to her, and now you.

Alec is another who is at your beck and call, and though he will perhaps tease you a little, he wouldn't take it too far. Sly comments and little pokes are common, but all in good jest. He would never want to actually upset you of course, but if it brings a little smile to your face with an exasperated roll of your eyes then at least he knows you're happy. And if you're happy then so is he.

Demetri also eats you like a man starved. He doesn't care if there is blood all down him, or all in his mouth. You are gorgeous, ravishing even, and he just can't get enough. He could live buried between your thighs, especially during that time of the month. The taste of you is unlike any other to him, and we all know that this man likes it a little dirty and rough.

Felix calls you his whiny baby but still is there for whatever you may need. Tummy rubs, head scratches, couples yoga, he's got you. Don't want to walk or even stand? He's picked you up from the same comfortable position you were in to move you to the fresh bubble bath he's ran for you, setting you down gently in there. Honestly, you could cry from how much you love and appreciate him. Whiny baby, you just need to be loved, don't you?

On Testing and Qualifying Magnus Lightwood-Bane's Sugar Daddy Behaviors - An Analysis

Multiple arguments have been made against the current High Warlock of Brooklyn, superficially regarding whether this gentleman's reputation as the current Consul of the Clave's sugar daddy is underappreciated or exaggerated. This study aims to dissect the argument with the support of textual evidence throughout the couple's appearances in the series

Paying for their first date

Taking care of the bill like a gentleman. From this instance, one can assume he takes his gentlemanly courting ritual very seriously, as he also reached for the meal cheques in other occassions

Conjuring and pelping to pick fine clothes for Alec

On their famous Europe vacation, it is shown Magnus has a habit of magicking tuxedoes, suits, and well-made sweaters for Alec. Now, if he could upgrade that GAP scarf to a Burberry one, it would be much appreciated

Gentleman behavior

Even though his boyfriend is supernaturally strong with biceps to bite for days and hunts bloodthirsty demons for a living, Magnus would still rather pay someone to carry the heavy luggage than his darling

Luxurious accommodation only

There has been a previously published study on the expenses for all these places here, so this article will be repeating the same key points:

one night at Istanbul Grand Suite on the Orient Express: $26,000

suite in Belmond Hotel Cipriani: $1,056

suite in Palazzo Manfredi, Rome: $729

It is understandably relatable when one pulls Alec Lightwood and wants to do everything in their power to woo him. For Magnus, it apparently includes never letting Alec stay in any place less than five stars

Letting Alec drive the Maserati

It costs around $10,860 to rent a red Maserati 3500 GT Vignale Spider for one day. Therefore, it speaks volumes to Magnus's affection for his boyfriend that Alec almost crashes them and the expensive car off a cliff is just a "tiny accident". It is also very likely he buys this type of car later, seeing his husband's fascination with them

Living together in Brooklyn

Months into the relationship Alec has already possessed a literal key to Magnus's home and proceeds to move in after weeks of getting back together. For other poor souls who are looking for a 3-bedroom brownstone in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the rent would be estimated at around $5000 per month. For the Consul, it certainly would involve a different type of payment method

Alec's magically money-full pocket

The consul carrying energy bars in his duffle bag instead of using the 15000$ in his pocket guarantees the funniest mental images one could possibly imagine

Enchanting Izzy's whip for Alec's birthday

Knowing Alec's top wish is to keep his family safe, Magnus chooses to tip his boyfriend's sister's whip in a prized potion to help her on the battlefield. Loving someone to the point you want to protect what else they love

Assisting shadowhunter without payment

This element may prove to be the strongest supporter of Magnus's claim as THE sugar daddy of the shadowhunter chronicles universe title, seeing how he used to overcharge shadowhunter on their business (deservingly so), and now he is willing to do all kinds of crazy shenanigans without an ounce of money. Whoever's in charge of the Clave's budget better send Alec the biggest, freshest, most expensive fruit basket

Final note

In conclusion, this research paper does not provide a definitive answer to the argument but encourages readers to draw their own perspectives. Nevertheless, it is a great possibility that in his report, the consul stated he used 10-20 dollars each week while he was traveling across the world, going to Japan when he craved sushi and staying in the finest places, all thanks to his generous husband
