Leverage (2008) really goes (the most devastating thing you’ve ever heard in your life) (immediate funky fun music)

I think a lot about how Holly legit as good as told Lucy that La Belle Dame was impersonating Lucy to lure Lockwood, but Lucy never made the connection bc she was too busy tryin to save his life.

H: yeah I thought he was with you

L: why would you think that

H, thinking back to the ghost that literally had Lucy’s face and mannerisms that Lockwood was just followin around all love sick like he does with Lucy daily: … I don’t fuckin’ know Luce, never mind 🙄

no secret third thing yes or no

whoever voted no stay the fuck out my house im scared of ur power

Hey, so, here's a thing I noticed...

I'm re-watching Leverage right now, and a fun bit I noticed this time around that I hadn't spotted before is how Eliot will come out with some random-ass knowledge that saves a situation or answers a question and the crew is all "How do you know that" and he'll answer "Oh I dated a NASA engineer" or whatever. It's played a bit for laughs, but -

It's a little thing, but this show is constantly surprising me with the amount of thought that got put into it.

happy fifteenth (15th!!) birthday to team starkid, but also to “well, the medallion says that’s dumb, so we’re not gonna do that.” which hasn’t quite left my lexicon since i first saw the show 13 (ish) years ago

Glasses people love to make you try their glasses on to see how fucked up their eyes are. It's a sign of respect in their culture.

we poke fun at obi-wan for saying "sith lords are our specialty" and then getting his ass kicked by dooku, but in fairness, he was at the time the only person in living memory to have actually killed a sith. he showed remarkable humility honestly.

Leverage meme ≡ quotes [5/5] → from Nathan Ford

#hmm thanks  for reminding me that I actually rather love this character#leverage#nathan ford#he’s not a good man really#(though by some terrifying metrics he is indeed a Good Man)#but he has aligned himself with good and he will get there come hell or high water#the thing is#he is the hell and he is the high water#he is the monster that hunts monsters#the abyss consumed him long ago and that’s just. how it is. he just lives here now#because that’s the thing#the abyss consumes you and everything…doesn’t end#you keep living#you keep living even though you are nothing but howling rage in the shell of a man#but then you turn that rage and that abyss upon the monsters that made you#and you bring the abyss to them (via @aethersea)

#nate’s scarier than anyone else on that team #even though all of them could run circles around him in thief skills 

#he doesn’t run circles around anyone #he just builds the track #and watches cooly while everyone else runs

There are moments when Nate goes completely cold and he is way scarier than any of them, or all the rest of them combined, like a reminder of what is sitting there under the surface - an incomparably brilliant mind with no heart to anchor it and nothing to believe in.

you can tell that Nate is an ex-Jesuit, or perhaps more accurately an almost-Jesuit He has this Catholic self-hatred coupled with this deeply rooted sense he’s better than others and it’s all tied together with a large amount of ‘here, hold my beer’

“My father would buy me an ice-cream” is just the the most terrifying thing anyone in the show says.

He says, in one line, that he was raised to be bad, knows how to be bad, chose to be good, fell, chose to be good by doing bad, but his gut reflex, the one he’s been supressing for his entire life, is just to be a walking nightmare, exactly what you’d expect if you rewarded a child for lying, cheating, swindling, and hurting for fun and profit.

Nate Ford is not a nice man. But he’s all that’s standing between us and Jimmy Ford’s Son, so let’s be thankful for that.

i still havent finished it - but my brain spurted this out while listening
