The tough choices Wade has to face on a daily basis

[novelistparty]

you might have heard about the current administration's attempts to ruin the federal agencies. In case you don't know a scientist IRL, I'm here to let you know it's completely fucking over all of science in America as well as across the world. Universities are banding together to protect entire departments, try to keep jobs from evaporating, prevent people from being deported. People are freaking out. Will their project or team or research group or department or company or industry survive the next few weeks or months? the president and his emerald boy crony are destroying science

He really does loves Steve’s mind though

Inde Watches Leverage: Redemption

S02EP06 The Fractured Job

This live reaction is for @werewolfsmile because I promised to tell her when I watched it and here we are! I have heard many conflicting opinions on this so I’m going in with an open mind about it because I know there is discourse with the Eliot backstory. Honestly I’m just so excited to finally get more Eliot backstory so here we go.

Oh shiz when they said poisoned water they mean it oh goodness. Water should not do that. The small town cons always get me.

I do love Keith David though.

Hardison my beloved. You’re amazing. Living for the aliens in bucket hats socks.

Parker and Hardison looked so concerned when he said Oklahoma.

Breanna it’s a serious moment but I died when she was like “he has a father” like where did you think he came from.

Dang Parker right when he was getting in the mood.

“You haven’t talked to your dad in 60 years” Breanna I’m crying.

Ahhhh I thought Breanna was bringing a drink out to watch I love you. Eliot’s dad is like who is this child.

Breanna is like this guy fighting frackers and the way she looks at Eliot like yeah I see where you get it from.

I read about Keith David researching Kane’s playing of his role to mimic him to be able to act as his father and I really see it he’s so good. The stances the way they talk a little too. I love him.

But oof why is his father not even talking directly to him like ugh dude you’re not winning father of the year points rn.

Ooooo no photos of Eliot yeah you’re not winning any father of the year points rn at all buddy.

Ahhhhh “dropped me off” my heart

“Welcome to the cookout” Hardison I love you.

“Actually it’s kinda hard to prove the whole cancer thing in court… I’ll add it to the list” HARRY

Yeah me too Sophie and Eliot cons with daddy issues get me too.

Yes Eliot Hardison’s there for you any time as is Parker and everyone else so trust them my baby.

Oh goodness the eyepatch and the hat (which he took off Parker’s head how cute). How did a python take your eye buddy hahah “are you dying” oh gosh. He just looks old Parker my beloved.

Brenna I love your grift just forcing your way into situations. Confidence is key.

Oh goodness Sophie this American accent. It’s good but it’s wild hearing it from you.

THE GRUMPY TURN AND SHAKE OF HIS HEAD AND HANDS a+ Kieth David.

I love them just looking at each other and Parker and Eliot walking off and Breanna just like huh. So in sync.

HA his dad like why are there more people in my house.

Aw Parker showing Eliot she’s taking some bread to go. Cute.

Yeah that’s right take the food to go Billy you know you don’t want to leave that.

Breanna please give someone a nosebleed it will be funny. Very Nate Ford of you.

Breanna that is gross I love your excitement.

Doesn’t the water in the fridge come from the ground too would it be filtered enough?

Okay I knew that wasn’t a good spot for a bug it was so obvious under that desk mat.

Parker I love you.

Dang it AG you’ve disappointed me. Why am I surprised at this point.

They’re literally wearing the same outfit. Twinning with your dad I love it.

Ooo like I knew that’s what part of the issue was but hearing him say that he wasn’t here for his moms funeral my heart.

Ah yes I suspected the stolen valor was in play. He is a hero and of course Eliot saw him that way. Eliot wanted to be a hero like him. And unfortunately he learned the hard way that he wouldn’t get that either. But he’s a hero now with leverage or he’s trying to be. Not that he thinks so yet.

“Let em try” dang I love you Billy. “Like father like son” yeah Parker

Sorry I’m not an expert but idk if vegetables could cause the water to be on fire.

Ooo they even fight kinda the same love it.

I mean blowing it up is kinda the move. Especially because you gotta use water in the rig and on the flames and that’s not gonna work.

Eliot looking so surprised when his dad slapped him on the shoulder and looked so proud. Also loving the Carson hardware shirt even though I did notice the hardware store said it was closing??

“Next time I’ll finish telling you about the robot bodies” “damn it” I love you guys

Ahhhh Breanna and Billy a dynamic I don’t know I needed.

“Thanks to you Eliot’s been able to do something he hasn’t been able to do his entire adult life. Be happy” dang that sounds like an insult Harry.

I CANT EVEN TYPE THW QUOTES OUT THEYRE ALL MAKING ME CRY SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

“We lost a lot of years” “we still got some ahead of us” “stay out of trouble” “no sir” “That’s my boy” SOBBING OKAY

I’m gonna need redemption to get a bit better about the filming inconsistencies because Eliot had sweat on his shirt then turned away from his dad then didn’t.

But ahhhhh the way he smiles as they leave I love it so much.

Honestly really really did love this thought this was so well done. I did agree that early in og leverage it did seem like Eliot dealt with abuse as a kid and we still don’t know about the before he was dropped off at the hospital time in his life. But also I think it could just be Eliot being able to recognize those things and not being okay with the injustice of it all. Or it could be both again we don’t know before he was dropped off. But also to him he seems like he was a very well adjusted kid if he was abandoned so it does make me think maybe he was younger and you know the people he had raise him were his parents because that’s all he knew or all he cared about. I know it’s different for all adopted kids. But I really did love Keith David I think he played his father amazingly! I do have questions about like the stepbrother(? It wasn’t explicitly said that’s what the relationship was but maybe? Edit: I went back and he just said Mrs. Dewitt to the woman in the beginning so I don’t think he remarried or anything he just hung pictures of those kids who he coached instead which cold honestly. I think I read a post once where someone thought it was his stepbrother in the photos so I think that’s where I got confused.) and photos on the walls because if that was the situation that ain’t cool honestly. But yeah this episode made me cry can’t wait to see Keith David again in redemption!

i know i'm way too immature to be an f1 driver because if i were max verstappen i'd be torn between taking pole and winning races to shut people up but also doing badly to show my late-night gaming was not the problem, the car is. you know, just to make a point.

[bark-barkley]

so many amazing quotes originating from buddie top/bottom discourse that are just fucking unhinged and. again. about the sexual positions of two fictional firefighters

[sad-leon]

do you have any advice on making comics.? i’m getting stuck and constantly losing motivation. sorry for nagging you,

nah, you're good

my advice is work on what feels good. if you feel like scripting or sketching, then just keep doing that. if you wanna work on lineart and/or colour, then work on that

forcing yourself to do it a certain way that it doesnt want to flow is not going to work. thats how i kept losing motivation for some of my stuff, i was trying to force myself into a creation schedule that didnt work for me

also expect it to take time. comics take so much time and thats okay, but if you rush it, then you're just gonna make yourself hate it

also dont go for a full, polished look! it takes so much time and energy! literally the only reason i was able to do that for TSOB was because I worked 4 days a week, overnights, and spent the rest of my waking hours drawing. it was exhausting, rewarding but exhausting. and it wasnt sustainable

and also have other things to work on, so when you dont feel like working on your comic, you can still draw without forcing yourself into burnout by working on something you dont have motivation for

also, and this may seem obvious, but make sure you actually like the story you're trying to tell. the easiest way to burn out, i've found, it forcing yourself to work on something you dont like

[p5x-theories]

Everyone keeps suggesting that Sojiro not owning LeBlanc means something bad happened to him but it could always mean that Wakaba never died in this universe

Haha, yeah! If we assume there really are counterparts to every P5 character in P5X's universe that have just lived different lives, the butterfly effect becomes super apparently really quickly: Goro Akechi lived a different life, which inherently means Shido, Joker, Okumura, Haru, Maruki, Wakaba, Sojiro, and Futaba's lives would all look pretty different right now, too.

Last night I had a dream where I entered a concert band or something as an oboe player, despite the fact that I have never touched an oboe in my life, and I learned how to make a reed from a carrot 💀

After Clint's thing we get this outside

Which leads to Magneto attackin Pietro and Wanda stepping in to stop it [Wanda has already admitted she has no control over her powers. Thus it is somewhat unclear if this is just their Usual Tempers acting up or if Wanda herself is making it worse. You can make an equal case for both]
