considering nate & maggie are said to have worked together sometimes, collaborating to discover art fraud pre-leverage… i’d like to imagine that maggie has at least heard of the leverage team members in passing. she wouldn’t recognise them in a crowd, but she’s familiar with big names in the art theft & forgery world. she’d have SOME expectations of what they were like. and then in the second david job, she’s meeting them and they’re. them. like-

what she knows about parker: worlds greatest thief, seems more interested in banks but certainly an art thief, too. nate says she has a reputation for being "insane".

what she assumes about parker: probably does some great grifting to get into those museums and vaults, been a world class thief for ages so she’d be in her late 30s at least by season 1. dangerous, formidable, scary, do not approach.

what she very quickly learns about parker: is a duckling who has imprinted on her

... I don't know about you, but I fully trust this alien eel abomination. Surely they will prove to be a wise, compassionate world leader. What's Jerry so worried about, eh?

so how are we feeling about Kakyoin and DIO and the motif of fear

image description below the cut

edit: link to part two, "predator animal fear"

a series of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure screenshots interspersed with a tumblr post from user aweega. The series goes:

Kakyoin with his lip curled in a snarl, holding up bloody hands, quoting DIO to himself: "There's no need to make yourself vomit from fright." then the start of aweega's text post: "characters with prey animal rage"

Kakyoin with his bloody hands fisted, thinking "Damn it! Never again! I will never lose again!". Then text: "characters with both the abject terror and". a close-up of Kakyoin's eyes, wide and unfocused, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

the text continues, "murderous desperation of an animal that knows it is cornered and destined to be eaten." Kakyoin, blood running down his forehead, glaring up at an unseen foe with his chin tucked down and teeth bared.

text: "you just can't get that kind of angst out a successful hunter. but alternatively i posit: predator animal fear. which is a totally different thing"

DIO baring his teeth, panic making his eyes go wide and unfocused despite the snarl the rest of his face is set in. Jotaro stands behind him, asking "How does it feel, Dio?".

it’s crazy seeing ppl talk about gay rights movements like it’s stuff of the past but I remember making a celebratory social media post with my fursona holding a pride flag when gay marriage was legalized in the U.S. 😭
