“I Don’t Need Therapy Because My Comfort Characters Are My Therapy” And It Turns Out The Comfort

which fucking queer sat down in the writer’s room for leverage and wrote the rundown job huh ??? HUH ???

why is hardison fist bumping his “best friend” about how hot his girlfriend is ?? why is eliot grabbing hardison by the back of neck, pulling him in with the most intense stare ever, and then doing the verbal praise equivalent of making out with him ??? eliot is an obviously traumatized self reliant prickly bastard, and yet he decides to throw away his crutches and completely rely on the other two for support ???

god take me now. leverage writers had absolutely zero business drenching this episode with all this polyamorous energy in the year of our lord 2012– hell gay marriage wasn’t even federally legal yet. they knew exactly what the fuck they were doing and i am kissing them on the mouth for it.

the grave danger job killed my grandma

AHH

okay but,, parker being the one to talk hardison through it the entire time, and calling him Alec for the first time

but eliot being the one to drag him out of the coffin and hug him tight

Eliot: Never do that again, man. Don't do that again. Hardison: I won't. I won't.

(is he crying too?)

and then afterwards, when hardison kisses parker on the cheek :(((

Hardison: You know I couldn't have made it out of that with you? Parker: Well, that's not true. Anyone can learn to hold their breath- Hardison: Thanks for not hanging up the phone.

For the sake of my sanity it needs to be renewed

I’m not lying when I say I will weep if this show doesn’t get renewed so I am shamelessly BEGGING YOU to watch it.

Here’s a few reasons why:

Like???? Look at them?!??

Found family?? Lost, lonely teens finding each other and hunting ghosts together?! Literal sunshine cast??

PLEASE WATCH ❤️

So my older sibling jokingly said that the cloaked person in the flashback was the trickster (like the big dude with no eyes and scary teeth from Sarah jane adventures) cos we used to love Sarah Jane as kids but like the trickster is part of a group called the pantheon of Discord. The pantheon like Maestro. And if you go even further the beetle on Donna's back in turn left is part of the trickster brigade. And what was the beetle trying to do? Stop the doctordonna. And who has just come back? The doctordonna. And who caused the bigeneration? The pantheon. This theory is getting concerningly close to being true. If my sibling is right I'm gonna be so mad they will be insufferable.

HELPPP

"I'm glad you found a family." -Amiee

"W-what... those guys?" -Eliot sputtering

Yes, Eliot. Those guys. The very same guys who you couldn't walk away from. The same guys who get on your nerves- but for some reason you protect. Those guys who have you wrapped around their fingers. Who remind you that your smarter than you think.

Those guys as in;

Nate who needs protecting from himself.

Sophie who needs protecting from her past.

Hardison who needs protecting from his mind.

Parker who needs protecting from the monsters she's lived through but are still around.

You, Eliot- you big teddy bear- decided they were worth it. So you stayed for them. You sir, stayed because they needed you.

Those guys are your family.

I feel like this is an accurate representation of my current mental state

Please god someone save Lockwood and co

My favorite part of the Lockwood and Co. series bad to be Lucy and Lockwood’s second fight. The dialogue and the cinematography is the some of the best i’ve ever seen.

The scene where Lockwood is approaching Jessica’s door while we hear Marissa’s voiceover :-

“Denial is a very human reaction when faced with new ideas. Especially such frightening ones.”

Just the parallelism. Marissa being 100% sure that type threes exist and lucy being a 100% that she can hear type threes.

It’s implied that people called Marissa a liar when she mentioned the type three, and Lockwood didn’t believe Lucy at first when she told him.

Not because he honestly doesn’t believe her but because he’s scared of what that would mean about Jessica😭.

Also before that when they were arguing:

“You’re not Marissa Fittes”

“Why? Afraid of being Tom Rotwell? My second best”

(Book Lucy would never go that far😂)

Like it’s such an obvious set up to future seasons where we’d get more Fittes-Lucy and Rotwell-Lockwood parallels.

It makes me so sad because the first season was an amazing building block for the rest of the show and we might have gotten so many more heart wrenching and dynamic scenes like this, but instead Netflex screwed crap up. Again.

I love Ethan and Ilsa so much. He meets her once and she saves him and he’s like wow, she’s amazing. She can do no wrong. Shoots him and benji? Tries to assassinate someone? She had no choice. Literally electrocutes his friend? It’s fine, he turned out ok. She performs any action and he’s just like “you’re doing amazing sweetie!!” And he so badly wants to get her out of the spy life. That’s something he can never have and something he couldn’t give back to his wife and he wants so badly to help Ilsa achieve it.

Meanwhile she thinks he’s the best person in the world, she just goes behind him saving his ass and staring wistfully at him.

Except, in between these times, they always end up on opposite sides and have to shoot each other, chase each other down, and hit each other with cars. But somehow they still trust each other bc they never lie to each other about their goals or intentions, not anymore.

If she dies, I will riot :)
