quinn and eliot definitely have a several-year-long recurring argument called Is Quinn Allowed To Kill Moreau: Why Or Why Not

initially quinn doesn't push because thats eliot's call and eliot's business and he offers as just. a casual favour for someone he likes. heard the dude's bad and he's in jail, im ur huckleberry etc etc—

—and then he gets conned into an actual Friendship and they actually Talk about the moreau situation and quinn, despite all reason and an increasingly disgruntled internal monologue about Boundaries and Getting Attached and Working For Free, finds himself breaking into eliots place to set up a projector for his lovingly-crafted powerpoint presentation like,

"so here's 153 reasons why you should let me shoot damien moreau in the face :) hear me out, pal, it's a great ideal. it's self-care. parker agrees"

"No, you see, I have a personal grievance against Damien Moreau as well, so I think I should be allowed to kill him."

"...OK, I'll bite. What is your personal beef with Damien Moreau, a man you've already told me you'd barely heard of before I mentioned him and who has been locked in a San Lorenzo dungeon since before we had that discussion?"

"Well, yes, but since then, I found out he hurt a good friend of mine."

OKAY NO BUT YOU ARE SO RIGHT ITS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PARALLEL TO ELIOT OFFERING IT TO PARKER IN THE FUTURE JOB EXCEPT ITS INVERTED, QUINN HAVING TO TRY AND TALK ELIOT INTO ACCEPTING THE OFFER LIKE "please let me do it."

Normalize disliking people and avoiding them without starting a conflict and insisting that they're bad people. You don't actually need to be able to call someone toxic and abusive in order to justify that you're not vibing with them.

I don't think helping blind people is what prevents the dismantling of nuclear weapons

At this point, every round mammal is a hamster to me.

I think we both have different definitions of what mammal is but I can’t say I disagree with you.

The good plot twists aren’t the ones that are wild left turns out of nowhere, they’re the ones that make all the other little things that didn’t quite add up before suddenly click

it shouldnt be “i didnt see that coming!”

it should be “i SHOULD have seen that coming!”

Me watching Leverage for the first time: Eliot and Parker are the best, I love them so much. Hardison is pretty cool too, but Parker and Eliot do all the awesome stuff.

Me watching Leverage for the 485th time: Hardison is the most talented wonderful person in the entire show. While all the main characters are shown to be extremely skilled in their fields, Hardison is consistently shown to be remarkably good at picking up and mastering new skills in a matter of days and even hours. He is able to master enough of old book manufacture to convince a historian his fake is authentic, he is able to explain to someone over the phone how to land a plane, he picks up a violin for the first time in years and, with a bit of manipulation from Nate, manages to play one of the most difficult pieces ever written. When Hardison expresses worry about saving an entire city, and theoretically the entire world, from the spanish flu, a disease that previously killed about 1/30th of the world’s population, Eliot says he’s not worried because Hardison is the smartest man he’s ever met. When Moreau says he has the media, the guns, and the government, Nate responds with “I have a 24-year-old genius with a smartphone and a problem with authority. You never really stood a chance.”

Hardison does almost all of the background work for any given con, with little to no thanks. He creates all the aliases, all the backgrounds, scopes out the ideal places to set up shop, organises all needed travel, runs backgrounds on nearly every person the team meets, and then packages all the relevant information into a little 3 minute slideshow that is easily understood by everybody in the room without being condescending.

He’s also one of the more emotionally mature of the main characters, tied only with Eliot. Unlike Eliot, however, Hardison is not only in touch with his feelings but able and willing to express them outwardly in non-self-destructive ways. He has a variety of hobbies (MMORPGs, brewery, watching movies, remixing music, etc) instead of just one or two that he’s shoehorned into whenever he has free time (drinking, stealing, bungee jumping, fighting people).

He is repeatably shown to be the most concerned with keeping the team together and also repeatably shown to be the softest. Parker, Nate, and Eliot are shown to make questionable decisions if they believe it’s for the greater good (of the con, of the team, etc), and Sophie is rarely in position to make a decision like that and often chooses her own survival in situations where she is, but Hardison, consistenly, has massive amounts of empathy for others, to the point where Eliot tells Parker that Hardison would have died in the ice cave on the mountain, because he would have tried so hard to bring the man’s body back to his wife. When Parker is unable to express explicitly that she likes Hardison, saying she’s having feelings about pretzels, Hardison’s response is to offer pretzels and say that they are there when she decides if she wants them. He doesn’t pressure her into making a statement or a decision, even by saying that he likes her (because there’s an inherent pressure to reciprocate those feelings when you’re under a microscope like that).

From what we know of the main characters, Nate’s first act of crime was one of revenge, as was Parker’s. Sophie’s was of self-interest, and Eliot was following orders and went too deep, then felt he couldn’t turn back.

Hardison’s first crime was stealing money from an institution that could readily afford it in order to pay the medical bills of his caregiver.

He’s the absolute best and I love him.

This is a great response and I am going to use it!

I’m stealing that

I can't believe my STEM major ass laughed at this

stem majors love seeing incredibly basic concepts and going "yeah this is unique to me. non-academics can't possibly understand this."

I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been

The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying “Halfdan wrote this”

my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was “this is very high”
