Season Two Finale of LeapBoot has me

[ziggysgender]

i like how leapboot was originally like "wow can you guys believe its a Romantic relationship between leaper & hologram this time instead of a Bromance". but then everyone was like...Man this is literally just boy/girl sam and al.

so they broke them up and gave them different partners

by popular demand: the sam in drag fancam

Still frustrated in leapboot’s decision last season to bring back the evil leapers and not have the rogue leaper be Sam…

[jonathanarcher]

I need you all to know the craziest line from the season 2 premiere of the quantum leapboot was Ben saying “I can’t stop thinking about [Sam’s] wife. And Al.” In reference to the people that get left behind by the leaper. His wife. And Al.

Here's an update on my collage of Ian's Al-fits. Added the cute af big-tie getup from NBC's Instagram stories, as well as the one outfit we see them in in the new stills from next week's ep.

Missing: two looks from the "This Season" promo that played at the end of the NBC broadcast. One looks to be the big-tie, but with a white blazer added. The other has a tan blazer with a very colorful tie.

Is it any surprise that the Al/Dean fan in me gravitated almost immediately to Ian, even just back when all we had was a little blurb from the casting call?

Hey Powers That Be, can we get Ian taking over as Observer sometime?

oop, okay, so one of the blue unknown is actual 24 April 1979 (for yesterday's leapboot ep)

as i've been running the daily al calavicci twitter over the last couple months, i've noticed some dates have popped up several time and thought i'd track the frequency of dates!

notably, the only two dates that were used three times in the show are Al's birthday (June 15) and Sam's birthday (August 8th), with 8 August 1955 actually being used twice - once in the first season and once in the fifth season

i also included leapboot, although there are two episodes so far that don't have an actual date assigned to them, just a year. og show is the magenta and leapboot is the electric blue within the spreadsheet

i think the thing is that i've been watching sooo much television that feels like fanfiction but BORING lately (star trek, the leapboot, etc) that gomens2 is like. yes this is undeniably a fanfiction season. but it's the kind of fanfiction i read. the kind of fanfiction i enjoy. so of course im riding thru the city having a fucking blast baby. it may not be "good" tv but its tv for ME

Nine People You'd Like To Get To Know Better

thank you @boguskudos for tagging me!!!!

nine people is a lot... @ziggysgender @holocowboy @astonishinglysane @samundomiel and whoever else wants to play a game i guess!

➠ last song: scenes from an italian restaurant by billy joel. yes i am a big old billy joel fan ahaha

➠ last show/movie: let's see, last night i put on fantasy high sophomore year (dimension 20 season) to fall asleep to, which is the sequel season to fantasy high and is my comfort season

movie i last watched was Cover Girl (1944), which i honestly was kinda blown away by after this latest rewatch. there were lines that jumped out to me in the book that i hadn't caught before and the friendship between our three leads of gene kelly, rita hayworth, and phil silvers is one of my favorite parts. watch this dance clip that's truly incredible and groundbreaking of gene kelly dancing with an alter ego of himself

➠ currently watching: A million things lmao, in the middle of rewatches of Quantum Leap, Elementary, and then catching up on Bob's Burgers, watching It's Always Sunny for the first time, then have my weekly shows of Perry Mason, Quantum Leap (leapboot), Abbott Elementary, and Ghosts, along with Neverafter and other Dropout shows. I will not put links here, this is your break, lmao

➠ currently reading: I just finished the book couplet of Once & Future and Sword in the Stars by A.R. Capetta & Cory McCarthy. I have a stack of Arthurian literature I've been meaning to get through from the library as well as the Adventure Zone comics

➠ current obsession: Hmmm, I guess I've been mostly on an Arthurian kick lately? Excited for baseball to get into season (especially since I'll be getting MLB for free thanks to t-mobile next Tuesday ahaha) oh! And Irish history has made the cycle back in as well

Anywho! Thanks for reading this long post ahaha

for real if you feel like "oh that doesn't include me" yes it does and now u have to do it (unless you don't want to)

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is Sam being able to control his leaps following “Mirror Image” (knowing that he’s the one ping-ponging himself across existence, not anybody or anything else) and how much control he’d potentially have over them. I think as he gets more used to the idea, he might be able to leap at will, maybe even to certain specific dates and to certain specific events that have happened and what the ramifications of that might be...

what tragic horror character trope are you?

the harbinger.

the harbingers have been through fire. you've got the scars to show for it. some people say harbingers are jaded- scary, even, to people who don't understand that the harbinger has seen the edge of the world and survived it. but being the harbinger means you're cursed to watch younger, brighter eyes fall for the same traps you did. trying to help isn't enough for you; you know what they're getting themselves into, and you want to protect them the way no one ever protected you, so why won't they just listen? it's frustrating. it's terrifying. no one should have to live through what you did, and i hope you know that you can't protect everyone but it's damn noble of you to try. it's not your job to save the world but i hope you know you've already made a difference to everyone who has taken your words to heart.

tagged by: I stole it from myself!

tagging: anybody who would like to can say I tagged you, I want to see your replies!

"scott bakula would be onboard for a quantum leap revival" but would he be onboard for a quantum leap revival featuring snarky pansexual girlboss female al and the mcelroy family playing evil leapers because that's the only way i’m onboard
