eat your heart out hacker lovers. id like to think he's very ambivalent about his past self and feels conflicted between cloistering away that more innocent side of himself or killing it entirely.

Thinking about the Saw x (2023) deleted scene today where John calls Amanda a "talented programmer and a gifted hacker" cause like, What.

finally finished leverage s5 and moved straight onto redemption and can i just say. watching this as a show set in the 2020s is truly depressing because yeah all of the premise stuff is extremely true and hits extremely close to home. but ☝🏾 on the upside we get a leverage magic the gathering episode

Love how Dick basically absorbed Tim’s super hacking powers in yj

Always lowkey simmering a Leverage AU in the back of my head hear me out:

Ted is an ex-insurance investigator who was able to get his son life-saving medical treatment because his first, original Crime Pal Beard was like ‘Ted if your company doesn’t come through with the coverage, we’re doing things my way.’

The company did not come through. The company did let him go due to suspicion of Ted’s involvement in the incident, but Ted will happily remind folks that no charges were formally pressed. Henry is alive and healthy and living with Michelle, who divorced Ted shortly thereafter (not just because of pre-existing marital problems, but because Ted wouldn’t tell her anything about why the doctors “””suddenly decided to do the procedure for free”””). Shortly thereafter, Ted fled the country.

What Ted learned from the whole experience is that there’s a lot of people out there, good people just trying to live by the rules, but sometimes things happen that are just out of their control. And well- if we’ve got the means to help the good people out when no one else will, then shouldn’t we try?

“We’ve got means,” Beard agrees. “And motives.”

They do things Beard’s way now.

How I imagine hacker meeting his past self

Hacker: "Ok little man first we are fuck and second we are fucked or fucking"

Past hacker: "We got any bitches?"

Hacker: "yes, He works as a captain in JR but he is hot as fuck"

Finch: "hacker" glares at him

Past hacker: "... nice"

(How do you imagine hacker and finch's relationship dynamic?)

Flirty X “go away, I’m working” typa relationship

so for a certain period of my childhood I was really into the Netrunner card game that they made as a spinoff of the "Cyberpunk 2020" tabletop RPG

and as a kid one of the enjoyable things about a TCG is reading the flavor text and imagining who these characters might be that keep getting quoted there

as... well, a weirdo who took a certain amount of pride in being a weirdo, I was particularly enamored by Rache Bartmoss, a famous hacker (both in the modern sense of "data thief" and in the classical sense of "exploratory spirit who enjoys stretching the capabilities of the systems they master"). he was a character who projected that same melange of unhinged genius that also made me such a fan of, e.g., Willy Wonka

now, with Cyperpunk 2077 having re-ignited general interest in this particular setting's take on the genre, I find myself looking back into those old 90s materials again, and I gotta say, given the canonical evidence we have vis the origins of Rache's name & why he went by that online?

I would bet you 200€ to a burrito that dude was a trans man

Looking through Yuriy's tag and sighing dreamily like I didn't draw that shit myself

Spending my afternoon designing a Louise Glück twitter bot instead of "doing my homework" or "studying" or whatever it is that I'm supposed to be doing.

Normal Saturday night activities…

they say being chronically online from a young age has no benefits but unfortunately my excellent typing skills have made learning instruments much easier
