@ltwharfy tagged me in this and it was so fun to do, although it took me a hell of a long time to pick characters

make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and see which character is everyone's favourite. Then tag five people to do the same. I don't have anyone specific, but if we are mutuals then you are tagged, and please tag me in your response because I love seeing what people's favorite characters are!

“Kentucky fried chicken” “Kentucky Thunder” “that’s what I said”

So I was talking to someone and the common thought came that Eli Ever is a Latino-coded person, and that is so true and has a relevant context to consider. what I mean is that Eli ever is a canon latina bitch in my head.

Look at him! He and this woman whose name I forgot are the same!! /hj.

I can easily imagine him saying these phrases with a weak accent because I don't think he is completely Latin-american, but he is a very close descendant of the culture

i was tagged by @vamppeach to make a poll of my 5 favorite characters so:

i'm very indecisive when it comes to choosing favorite characters or what that even means to me so good luck making sense of this list lmao

this was fun to come up with so if you're also interested i'm tagging: @bookishblerb, @funk-king-sparkle, @detectiveanna, and @fauxxghost

1) I wrote a tbr of plays I wanna read in September in the middle of last month and it only took me 5 days to be like "yeah I'm not liking this plan at all and it makes me miserable." Idk how ppl do tbrs. I thought it would be exciting but it actually just makes me feel like I'm doing my chores.

2) Did you know I've read 4 plays in the last year which were written by Thomas Middleton? Why? Why have I spent so much time with Middleton? I've spent more plays with him than any other author in the last 12 months except Shakespeare (duh) and John Ford (whose plays I rented from the library so I had only a month). Like, of all the things I could be doing...

I'm seven episodes into Leverage and my biggest takeaway is this:

Hardison has two hands

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

Something I love about Christian Kane's characters are;

How soft and gentle they are one minute but the very second his character's hear/see/are told to do something...

His characters become freaking warriors.

op: #he deserves it#also parker and hardison#they all deserve forehead kisses

@running-in-the-dark: #(luckily he is short so I could actually reach his forehead! phew)

@lindseymcdonaldseyelashes: #i will give him all the forehead kisses#and would also like some in return if it's not too much to ask

glad we are all on the same page

i want to kiss eliot spencer on the forehead

One of my favorite things about the show leverage is that they occasionally have subplots that have no actual effect on the main plot. It is literally only there for character development such as in the episode. The order 23 job Eliot Spencer finds the kid whose father is clearly physically abusing him and makes it his little side mission to make that one child's life better and this literally never interacts with anything else in the episode except for two things that ultimately change nothing. For one, this is the reason that Eliot removes his earpiece, but the only important piece of information that is missed is the fact that one of the feds is actually an assassin. Ultimately this means nothing because the assassin does try to take out Eliot and Eliot deals with the situation as Eliot does and then when he puts in his headphone again. Hardison is still talking and it's funny but it has nothing to do with what's going on in the episode. Then later the court cop asks Elliot how he can thank him and Elliot ask this guy to keep an eye on the kid and this is the end of the episode. The episode didn't need any of this and I love that about this show.

I used voice to text for this whole rant and edited very little

some fans will do anything to act like eliot is perfect and it’s so frustrating sometimes. i like eliot too, leverage is my favorite show, but neither eliot or the show are perfect or 100% aligned with my beliefs. and it’s okay to acknowledge that! everything in canon suggests that eliot is very pro-cop. the show itself is maybe not *as* strongly pro-cop as that one character is shown to be, but they definitely portray many cops as "the good guys" and aren’t exactly saying acab. i love the show but im not going to put it/the writers/the characters on a pedestal.

re. this post

[augustheart]

in honor of leverage redemption s3 coming out soon, here's a compilation of some of my favorite bits from s1-2!

honorable mentions that had to be cut because tumblr says the video is too large if i include them:

the bit from the season two finale where eliot and sophie swap characters back and forth to get out of the museum

"sorry. i thought we were sharing."

breanna forcing eliot to cook for her date and the girl she's on a date with getting super turned on at the idea of bre being in the mafia

racism mjolnir

breanna asking for grey to be bagged and tagged and parker and eliot jumping up to do it immediately

"hardison bet me i couldn't learn the language. he lost." "did he?"

bre voting to keep harry around because him fucking up makes her look good

if i left out your favorite feel free to let me know... perhaps there will be a sequel.

Have you ever watched the show Leverage and Leverage: Redemption? Not particularly bloody but the hotter character has some pretty good scenes throughout where he gets his ass kicked around. Also all of the emotional whimpers is delicious from all of the characters.

Ooooh my friend. I have watched both Leverage and Leverage Redemption so many times I think I could quote the whole show. It is easily one of my top 5 favorite shows ever. They're both SOOOOOO GOOD and Eliot Spencer is the BOMB!!!! I LOVE THAT MAN!!! So yes lol you have come to the right place!!! He gets some great scenes of whump. And they all get their moments and ugh I love leverage.

Hat Bracket Round 1A, Match 8: Sneakin' Beanie v. The Pixie

Sneakin’ Beanie Episode: 1x09 The Snow Job Character: Parker, as Parker Propaganda: I just always enjoy when she dresses up like an actual cat burglar.

The Pixie Episode: 1x05 The Mile High Job, 3x07 The Gone Fishin Job Character: Eliot, as Eliot Propaganda: you may be thinking "this is just a boring beanie, compared to all the weird fedoras out there" think again! this is the a very fun knit hat- the chevron stitch, the multilayer ribbing, the point at the top!!! (that's called a pixie style pointy hat) this is a classic understated eliot move. it makes his hair look great and the point is so whimsical. anyway we should all be wearing pixie hats Editor's Note: Originally submitted for the Mile High Job, submitter then noted it's also in Gone Fishin, which means it goes on my list of "Probably the characters' actual favorite hats"

Mine’s Eliot but I adore Alec & Parker. Sometimes I love Parker over the boys and Hardison over the other two but it’s mostly Eliot.

I adore all the characters but yeah, Eliot’s my favorite. Who’s yours?

[lindseymcdonaldseyelashes]

One of my favorite things about "The Office Job" is the qualities that come out of the characters when they know they're being recorded

For Nate and Hardison, it's just an annoyance that's preventing them from properly doing the job. Parker absolutely does not want to be filmed, and it's compounded by the fact she's actively being harassed by Gunter

Sophie and Eliot, though? They have to pretend not to love the spotlight. She poses to make sure her best side gets captured. He grins and smooches just for the camera

There really is a reason Eliot can't avoid nearly becoming famous over, and over, and over
