Im So Utterly Enamoured And Charmed And Impressed By Breanna. She Is So Unbelievably Great As A Character,

The Swipe Right Job (S03E06) LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION (2021—)

Have you seen this Guardian article? I'd love your thoughts on the last two paragraphs!

Fascinating article, but HOLY SHIT?

I KNEW WE WERE GETTING A GAME, BUT THREE?? AN ANIMATED MOVIE AND A STAGE SHOW??

If we get all of these it would be beautiful- (I wonder which High Level Company?? I’m nervous???) Also I NEED the stage adaptation- I’m gonna cry?

i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what

Crossover game time!

The last piece of media you read or saw in a crossover with your current favourite. What happens and how screwed is everyone?

listen I do understand that by and large Leverage is a very lighthearted show and also that they are limited in the havoc they can wreak on the lives of clear real-world analogues without being accused of endorsing violence or something. so i'm not saying that this is necessarily a good move from a showrunner's perspective but I DO think that i would rescind every criticism i've ever had of leverage's political outlook if they have an episode in L:R where they introduce an antagonist like 'this is mr. Ethan Tusk whose wealth came from exploitative gem mines and now he makes exploding cars and sets nazi frat boys loose on the federal government for bragging rights of how cozy he is with the dictator in charge' and then the resolution is 'parker pushes him off a building.' or i'm not picky on the specifics they can even have it be a more ambiguous thing where she plants a bug in his car so they can spy on him but then two days later the autopilot drives him off a cliff and nobody's ever really sure whether parker sabotaged it somehow or it was just his own shitty tech. i just think that if you're going to keep teasing the idea that parker is Unpredictable and Violent and needs to be kept under close watch she should get to kill at least ONE evil-guy stand in at some point. she's earned it. free her.

hi excuse me kristin cashore is working on FOUR books rn ??

what do we think they are 👀

okay you know what other random crossover I've been chewing on? leverage x six of crows.

the parallels between Parker and Inej - both in that they have the same skill set of climbing and acrobatics and so on, but also how they're both healing from being used. and how they both have been known to stab creeps. I could see Parker taking Inej under her wing the way she kind of adopted Josie.

Kaz and Nate together could mastermind so hard. but then also... how would the crew, especially Eliot, look at this kid who's so much harder than he should be at that age? what would Nate think of this literal teenager who can mastermind on the same level as him?

Eliot would also see himself in Matthias. being loyal to your country with everything you've got until you're not. the guilt. questioning the beliefs you grew up with. feeling like you've become a monster.

Nina meeting Sophie. they're both so very good at pretending to be other people. Nina learning tricks from Sophie... or can you imagine Sophie if she had tailoring in her arsenal...

Jesper & Wylan mirror Hardison as the heart of the team, so to speak. they'd bond over fabrication and chemistry and caring about people who have been through some shit. also the combined adhd energy of Jesper and Hardison could probably wipe out an entire city.

and then can you imagine both teams on a heist together??
