in the lonely hearts club job leverage asks the question "does romantic love exist?" and answers it by having eliot buy parker a venus fly trap on hardison's behalf, expecting no recognition and revealing eliot remembers a throwaway comment parker made on their second job together.
we all know this.
but was anybody going to tell me hardison already had a browser window open looking for restaurants to buy eliot in portland in response at the start of the episode immediately after that? or was i supposed to figure it out on a rewatch all by myself?!
#leverage#leverage ot3#eliot spencer#eliot#hardison#alec hardison#parker#ot3#leverage posting#jam posts#AND TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR. I *CALLED* THE BREW PUB AS A RESPONSE TO THE VENUS FLY TRAP IN MY NOTES. THE PHYSICAL NOTES I TAKE#WHENEVER I WATCH LEVERAGE. I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS THIS IMMEDIATE#my notes literally go girls/boys night out job 'parker is the only one playing 4d relationship chess so far. when does hardison join in &#what makes parker sure enough to push eliot more or is it just inevitable eliot's a part of the relationship conversation p&h have btween#seasons?' and then the lonely hearts job immediately afterwards is like. romantiv love exists. look at this very meaningful gesture eliot#made on hardison's behalf. answering the how does hardison clue in and what makes p&h confident enough to push question at the exact same#time. and then in the gold job. 'portland restaurants'. being searched. i swear to god.

[ @pkmn-monochrome - interaction thing i can't send as an ask bc long and images]
The dark of the Pokemon tower is never something that has bothered Red. Never something that would, certainly not after seeing much worse and being much older.
At this point, really, it's a kind of eeriness he'd come to miss. It reminds him of simpler times- days when a young boy only had to fear things like ghost stories, and shadows that lurked in the dark.
He knows very well that this place is not the Pokemon Tower he knew, of course. He's not stupid. This place was only built in its image, the miserable ending of a game dyed in grey and built out of spite.
He runs a hand along the wall of the staircase he descends, feeling the cold stone, yet also the intangible data, dull static and code under the fingertips. Watches in quiet fascination as the textures distort and corrupt under deliberate contact, the broken foundations of Generation 1 reacting to him, (same as always,) but a touch more stable from the fusion of the bastard remakes keeping it grounded.
Any damage caused is meaningless, the existence of it debatable as a whole, as he passes through a loading zone. Half of him watches everything fade to black, the other half just continues down the steps that are as tangible as anything else here is to someone within the game. Everything is right- just as it should be.
Either way, it's not like it's his game to break. That would be plain rude, especially with the risk of killing someone!
Intrigue in this world, curious as it may be, isn't why he's here.
Nah. He's more interested in something else.
Or, someone, to be more precise.
Having finally found who he'd looking for, Red steps off the stairs and into another layer of this endless graveyard, whistling as he finally lays eyes on a certain monochromatic individual.
"Y'know..." he chides from across the room, "A graveyard's a pretty cliche place to spend eternity, don't you think?"
He snorts at his own remark. "Course, I guess it's not like you had a choice. The sadsack that made this game could've picked something a little more outside the box, is all I'm saying. Do you think they'd bury bodies in the Viridian Forest, maybe? Or swimming offa Route 20, try a little watery grave... Oh, Champion's Road could be pretty morbid!"
He sighs and folds his arms, shaking his head at himself.
"... Nah, I'm joking. I can see the vision. I could give less of a shit about this place, anyways..."
His eyes gleam, and a menacing smile spreads across his face.
"I'm more interested in you. A glorified reskin of Pokemon Tower ain't shit compared to you. A little bug told me about some sentient Red-Leaf kinda amalgamation with the memories of a real person, and I just had to look into it and come to see for myself. Lo and behold..."
He spreads his arms out in some kind of almost-mocking grand gesture.
"Here you are! Cody, right? In the flesh, or... I suppose your problem is the lack thereof, heh."
He begins to approach, moving slowly and never once looking away. He stalks forward, every step careful and deliberate, teeth bared in a grin that holds no happiness but oozes with amusement.
"I've got so many questions, I don't even know where to begin. You're really something special... One of a kind, fully aware of everything. Knowing what life both here, and out there, is really like. I've seen players that would kill to even get a chance to stand where we do, but... You want out more than anything."
Scratching his chin, the man walks around them at a slight distance. Red gets the thought that Cody wouldn't want something like him anywhere near them. At least he can respect that.
"Suppose the courteous thing would be to ask a question- that's the tradition around these parts, right? Constantly interrogating you so you don't have to sit here, alone with your..."
His eyes flicker to the two GHOSTs at Cody's side.
"... Thoughts. And the like."
He hops onto a grave nearby, sitting with his ankles crossed. Respect towards the dead be damned, every tomb in places like this were about as sacred as Halloween decorations.
"Here's what I'd like to know, Cody."
His smile widens further- for a brief moment, the glitches on his body seem to spread to the air around him, cutting through the gray with burning streaks of red, white, and yellow.
"You have your hacker's memories. Some of them. ANY of them. It's enough. You'd know what it was like to be them. You know what it was like to be human. You know both worlds."
"What is it like? To be real? To be something more than code. How different is it from this?"
"What was it like to be HUMAN?"
He jabs a finger forward, pointing at them as the static that flared up around him quickly subsides, clearing the air back into the typical oppressive atmosphere of the endless graveyard.
"I want to hear it from you," he finishes cooly, "someone who has been on both sides of the screen. You could tell me better than anyone."

i really am invested in that one au where minato's rushed seal accidentally killed naruto (the boy) and kurama (the fox) (inadvertently fused with the body-cage) grew up, memory-less and oblivious in naruto-the-boys place, because i do think of that often
#naruto the hour year old baby gets to get rinne-ressurected by obito at the end i think and the pein confrontation is when kurama remembers#who he really is#but [gestures]#fuzzy fuzzy plot#jiraiya has half a clue that minato fucked up bad and therefore cannot stand naruto-the-fox#kakashi thinks jiraiya is being a paranoid bastard and violently ignores any signs that there's something not right about 'naruto'#kurama gleefully enjoys ordering around his new goons-teammates#regrettably he really IS much more capable then. a real 12 year old would be lol#naruto tag

rvb introduced the bodily/psychological horror of poor private jimmy being a prisoner in his own body and puppeted around by a pissy ai who doesn't Know he's in someone else's body and his only fucking freedom from that was being blown up ;___; and then literally they never revisited that concept again
#like it's established in the pfl flashback seasons that an ai and its host at least Somewhat share thoughts and emotions with one another#but alpha literally has like. no clue. are there no thoughts or feelings or base impulses coming from jimmys end? how. what did they do#to that poor fucking kid. bc he was aware and conscious during initial implantation if im remembering correctly#the 'jimmy was a good kid. everyone liked him' breaks my heart okay ;__;#like i know that early seasons stuff and the anthology content are sorta *vague hand gesture* but#he would have been like twenty one at the most ;__; he had a girlfriend he was gonna propose to ;__;#they left his mangled corpse to rot back in blood gulch what the fuck#rvb nonsense

the gender binary of my customer service persona is my man coworker slipping by me and another bakery worker and saying "excuse me, ladies" during the same shift that a little girl looking to buy a slice of birthday cake called me "sir" repeatedly while trying to get my attention
#Gender Validated: none of these people have any clue what's going on up here *gestures to all of me*#text#personal

working on his character ref for khoc week has got Boy on my mind so im gonna Boypost
trying to imagine lamia in a relationship with anybody who isnt That Old Man is really funny to me because like. when i sat down to figure out who lamia was, i asked myself the question, "what kind of person not only could be in a relationship with xigbar, but would benefit from being in a relationship with xigbar, and would benefit xigbar to be in a relationship with"
and that kind of person is so hyper specialized that trying to put him in a relationship with a normal well-adjusted person is like trying to take one of those giant tube worms that live near boiling hot hydrothermal vents, and putting it in, like, a sunny meadow.
every other person lamia's tried to date has either abused him, tried to fix (or "fix") him, or been completely put off by one of his many idiosyncracies. and even if a potential partner were able to "do everything right", i think lamia would still chicken out on them because he cant deal with people being nice or affectionate to him in conventional ways.
like ive designed this guy to be an extremophile, hes not gonna be able to survive anywhere but the caustic soda salt lake i designed him to live in
#for this reason it is very very difficult for me to imagine xiglam Having a Third at like. any point#literally what person could be introduced to *gestures* all that and 1. survive and 2. not make everything worse#i make these posts as though y'all know what im talking about. youll get it someday. when i post the fic.#and until then you can just guess from context clues. its fine. its fine#lamia#lamiaposting#kh

Horsies in the Plex if Roxy is a horse lover before she knows they've ever existed here is really good honestly. She's off exploring, finding random horse themed things and immediately drops what she's doing to run over to Vanessa with it like "LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!" cause Vanessa also likes horsies and is the reason Roxy likes them so much in the first place.
Like it starts with a prop horseshoe or something. Then she's finding plushies and building a little collection of them, making sure to give Vanessa one every time she finds a new one. Then she finds a random ass saddle or a bunch of prop hay bales or something. A bridle. Some bit pieces. A harness for a wagon. The wagon itself. Horse action figures. Whatever else. She's been excited about every single thing she's found so far and wonders how much more there is to find...
Opens a new storage room door and she finds actual fucking horses. Deactivated, dusty as hell, animatronic horsies.
Fucking grabs Vanessa and takes off running into areas Vanessa is absolutely not allowed to be in at all to show her all the horsies sndjjd like "VANESSAA!!! THERE'S HORSES!!!! NESSA HORSES ARE REAL!!! THEY REALLY EXIST NESSA LOOOOK!!!!"
#there's so much fun with these horsies#listen she's got a special interest that makes her super happy#all tail wags and tippy taps while her four minis get so excited for her#biggest enablers of the special interest jdjdnid#oh and for the record vanessa does NOT have a special interest here. she was a horse kid growing up and still likes them#but she's nowhere near as interested anymore#Roxy just shows up and drops a horse plushie on her so excited about it and vanessa is...#well she's shocked cause where the fuck did that come from but also what do you MEAN it's hers??#this is the thing with roxy. her dog programming makes strong emotions really hard to contain#so she HAS to show her the horsies and she HAS to run loops around her to do it#when she's excited enough about something sitting still feels like a death sentence she's actually going to EXPLODE#she's a little bean!!! cute and adorable and a good bit overwhelming to the unprepared!!!#the downside is that thus carries over to sadness anger frustration and every other emotion she can feel#she can't contain shit. she can kind of mask with overconfidence but only if she's had time to calm down first#she's just so dog like that#fnaf security breach#roxanne wolf#plex history: horses#they have an official tag now because i love them#fnaf vanessa#yeah sure fuck it I'll tag them both shjdj#i just have this mental image of roxy running in at the end of nessa's shift to give her a pony plushie#but the day guard is there to swap with her so he bares witness to excited puppy roxy and is so fucking confused#she gets super embarrassed when she notices him but poppet and tippy are like 'hey... hes probably jealous'#and she fucking shoots off to go get him one too. fucking blasts the door down when she gets back to hand him a horsie#'tippy said you'd be jealous so i got you one too.' and he's so fucking confused cause who the FUCK is tippy???#Vanessa behind Roxy just nodding and gesturing to go with it and when he does she's both surprised and overjoyed he likes the horsies too#still embarrassed but HORSIES!!!#'where did you even get these??' 'found em!' 'yeah be where?' 'oh ya know... around.' '?????'#vanessa just tells him to drop it cause she doesn't have a clue either and that's obviously not about to change ever lmao

It’s good that William is doing something but I’d like it if KP named what the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East is bc it’s very vague to just say “human impact of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East”. Where is the crisis happening? Why is there a crisis? BE SPECIFIC!
#is it all the humanitarian issues in the Middle East#or the genocide in Gaza#that has been happening since October#you can’t gesture vaguely#name things#even though people can pick up on context clues#there’s power in naming what’s happening

two android girls sparring for their owner/wife because they have a praise kink only for them both to get a treat of running obedience training code while being told how to play with each other and getting point rewards that are equivalent to dopamine when they do good
your mind is such a powerful place. i want to stay here longer
#<<333#clicker training but there is no auditory clue or learned behavior#you simply have a button that releases my dopamine#i want more of this *gestures broadly*

the last of us seems like an excellent show but i fear i can’t watch it bc tell me why i watched the first 30 minutes of episode 1 last night and then immediately had the most fucked up zombie dreams
#caroline talks#weird ass mashup of the last of us and the boys#where i was with the boys#but then butcher fucking VANISHED so I have no FUCKING clue what he was doing#ily frenchie and kimiko the only two who rushed back for me#and then weirdly i had this super power where like? if i concentrated hard enough? i could tell the runners to? stop and go away?#but I don’t think I was me I think I was someone else#bc my dream had a weird? flashback sequence? where I was this little kid#and this stern faced lady was watching me control a group of runners#anyways flash forward to the present and I’m#at this facility and I’m training with a bunch of ? kids? teens?#and they’re joking about how ‘ohhh look i’m a clicker haha’#and then two of the kids go down to the basement and i follow them#of course they freeze and i look and there are a bunch of runners down there#so I do my thing and slowly draw them out of the basement and towards the exit of the facility#when a bunch of other people in the facility#start to think this means omg the runners are normal now!#and start to grab their kids and leave and I was gesturing for the others to keep those idiots AWAY like NOOO they’re not safe!#but ofc no one was listening and for some fucking reason STAN EDGAR IS THERE#and Stan Edgar just pleasantly smiles and lets those idiotic parents leave#and he’s just like ‘there’s nothing you can do for them now’#anyways. we close the gates and i stare at the windows and butcher (finally back ig?) tells me to not look at the windows#which is very ooc of him on my dream I think but man.#oh and then my dream has another flashback sequence#of a little girl and her brother grocery shopping with their mom#and in the checkout line the mom starts to show signs of being infected#but only the brother knows#and the sister figures it out too and she can’t look at her mom#and they all follow the mom to the car and sit in the backseat#and the girl just quietly cries and JESUSSSSS YEAH SORRY BESTIES the last of us seems great but uhhhh NIGHTMARES
