HOW

DID NO ONE TELL ME

THAT LEVERAGE AND THE LIBRARIANS

HAVE

BOOK SERIES

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Simple question- who's your favorite badass couple/polycule?

Propaganda for Perc'ahlia: "The gal is queer, the guy is probably queer, they’re so edgy separately but together he’s the most pathetic simp and she’s a badass Queen. Iconic, they are"

Propaganda for the Leverage trio: "Parker/Hardison is canon since S4/5, Elliot fell for them later. OT3 confirmed via word of God. Eliot is the one most suited for literal battle but the other two can kick ass when required and the three of them battle capitalism via crime 24/7."

Showstopping, immaculate, glorious

The scene on Leverage where the Team made up an entire elaborate cover story only for Eliot Spencer to step forward, straighten up, roll back his shoulders and go “I’m Eliot Spencer” gaining them immediate audience

Throwing your (team’s) cover to the wind because your real identity grants you so much more leverage (hehe), perfection

Eliot Spencer has biggest dick energy. Hardison has the most golden heart energy. Parker has unchecked chaotic energy.

Leverage did so many things with what I consider a gold standard.

One of the best depictions of Found Family there ever will be.

An awesome slow-build hetero relationship that feels organic, natural,

Never putting that romance before the familial love they have for the team

And Parker is still one of my favourite aroace autistic headcanons. She is oblivious to her own feelings for Hardison. But she is never belittled for it, she doesn’t get made fun of for not being able to name/ distinguish what she feels.

And Hardison, oh my goodness Hardison. Alec Hardison is the absolutely most loving (familially and romantically) man.

He is patient with Parker. He understands she struggles to understand how she feels.

He is encouraging and never pressures her.

And “I’m here, if you want” is still one of the most wholesome pre-relationship tropes.

Pretzels.

Leverage is the epitome of "mission failed successfully" regardless of the con the crew always manage to achieve their initial goal, even I'd the plan changes throughout the episode.

Yknow, Eliot being adopted means that he, Hardison, and Parker all have that sort of thing in common. Obviously not exactly the same way - Parker went through several foster homes before (it sounds like) eventually running away, while Hardison ended up with Nana (who knows if he was in other foster homes beforehand or not), and Eliot was adopted as a baby. But none of them was raised by their blood families and... idk, I just feel like that's Significant. I mean, Hardison and Parker specifically bonded when Hardison revealed Nana was his foster mom, not his grandmother. I can't help but feel like there's a parallel here

[strange-relics]

Okay I’ve only just started watching Leverage for the first time (I’m on episode 3) and I’m dying laughing over the fact that someone from Eliot’s past told him they were glad he’d finally found a family, only for him to be confused and say, “Those guys?”

The team is 100% a family already, even if they don’t realize quite yet, and I’m here for it. Found family pulls me in every. single. time.

[relatableblorbopoll]

Round 1 of preliminaries, group 16

The first two places get a place on the bracket

Little reminder: there will be 2 more rounds of preliminaries, the losing blorbos of this poll still have 2 chances of getting in the official bracket

Propaganda under the cut

Parker (Leverage)

"Some of the weird things she says are so true. Like when she talks about past/present/future parker. Her joy at the things that she loves is so complete. Christmas every year! I too have the urge to stab people with forks when in uncomfortable social situations. And it was great when she made her security code to her…home…Sophie’s real name because it was representative of where trust stood in the team after the prison break. Oh! And her and Alec are total couple goals. (Thruple goals if you add in Elliot)"

Gudetama (Sanrio)

"A lazy egg who really doesn't want to do much of anything and would rather just go back to sleep"

Finn the Human (Adventure Time)

"finn is just a little guy doing his best and trying to help people! he's the only human in the show so he's just like us fr (the entire human race) and he starts off the series as a kid and grows up during it so he really goes through all the relatable ups and downs and friendships and relationships and mistakes and achievements that we all go through. he does a lot of idolising people and having to realise they're not what he told himself they were. sometimes he tries to distract himself from an existential crisis by running around yelling or stabbing things with a sword. relatable"

Rain O'Fire Frazier (Worm)

"Rain grew up in a conservative community that he didn't want to be part of, and rejected their regressive ideology in favor of surrounding himself with people who have gender vibes, mental health issues, and traumas of their own. Also, people give him all sorts of crap in the setting, and while he does fuck up sometimes, he's just a swell dude who's hoping to not get murdered by crazy people. Times being what they are, I think that that's something a lot of people can relate to."

Piper Mclean (Heroes of the Olympus)

"she's SO full of love!!! she loves everyone so strongly!! she has a complicated relationship with femininity, gender and beauty standards. she bullies her friends but would go down fighting for them if needed. she acts out to get her dad's attention. she believes in a balance between emotions and logic, and is not afraid to tell her friends if she thinks they're neglecting the emotional side of a problem."

Norma Khan (Dead End Paranormal Park)

"She is autistic and struggles with socialising (same) She has special interests that she will bring up at any opportunity. She can get overwhelemed and scared being in the world. Norma is also bisexual! She spends her time in a Pauline Phoneix theme park (one of her spins) and fighting demons and ghosts (another special interest). Vote Norma today!!"

"She goes through so many relatable experiences that I rarely see depicted and is just overall an excellent character. The third episode of the show has the most relatable depiction of anxiety I've ever seen (especially the intersection between social anxiety and autistic sensory overload). It's one of those episodes where each character has to face their worst fears, and with how those episodes usually go, I expected her to overcome her fears at the end of the episode and just not have them anymore. Instead, she overloads the villain by having too much fear for him to handle since she has to constantly face her greatest fears as part of her everyday life. The protagonist also acknowledges how much more severe her fear is compared to most other people, which is pretty validating. Her special interest is an actress who turns out to be a really shady person, and she has a lot of trouble processing this because it was so close to her heart. She even gets a musical number about it! I've never seen this particular experience depicted in fiction, but it's one that is sadly pretty relatable to me and probably a lot of other people on here. She also has a plot where she is rejected romantically by a straight friend, which is kinda nice to see (even if it's not nice for poor Norma) since even though this is a really common experience IRL I rarely see it explored in fiction. And she's just really funny and smart and a great character in general!"

The Double-Edged Sword Job

bonus

I recently finished watching this episode and I swear Eliot had more chemistry with Libby than with the Marshall.

[leverageclips]

Leverage episode where it begins with the crew smugly walking out of a finished job and on their way out of the building they see Benoit Blanc coming in through the very same door. Cue the crew scrambling back in to stall Benoit and stop him from figuring them out.

[tuxedosaurus]

I am NOW halfway through Leverage season 2, and I adore how a third of the cons so far have been psychologically tormenting the mark so they have a fucking breakdown.

“Let trick a germaphobe henge fund boss into thinking there’s a massive disease outbreak”

“Let’s trick a sleazy tabloid newscaster into believing a government conspiracy theory”

Love to see terrible people suffer lol.
