I’m sorry to talk about Luigi Mangione so much but like. Imagine his parents.
Your son was living the good life. Valedictorian, Ivy League, working for game design startups, surfing in Hawaii. He’s doing great, right? Nothing really out of the ordinary. Maybe he posts some weird stuff on Twitter, maybe he’s dealing with an injury, but like, he’s still mostly a normal kid.
And then, fairly abruptly, he drops off the face of the earth. No one has heard from him. You reach out to his old high school classmates. You hear nothing. Your texts go unanswered. You file a missing persons report.
And then the next thing you know he’s on national news for killing a health insurance CEO ???
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?

LEVERAGE CREW MEME ↳ @usergif back to cool event: challenge #2 — color
leverage has always been pretty obvious with it's messaging, but redemption season 3 starts off with a generic american white guy who sells hot wings stealing water from american towns and then selling it to the highest bidder on an international auction from his private villa in paris that is attended by government official and terrorists both.
this is as subtle as a cannon shot.
thinking about this
Woman: Who are you? Eliot: Well, ma'am, we'd be the cavalry.
Leverage 1x8 - The Bank Shot Job
Flores: Who are you? Parker: I’m supposed to tell you, "We'd be the cavalry."
Leverage 3x16 - The San Lorenzo Job
Ethel: We need real help. Where's the cavalry? Sophie: At the right moment, they'll be here. Probably. Possibly. I trust.
Leverage: Redemption 3x7 - The Shakedown in Clone-Town Job
ha! found it. https://glen-reeder.tumblr.com/post/149387327864/leverage-con-names
there has to be a wiki or a fan page of all the different mentioned leverage scams/plays/etc across all five seasons. Right? And like the history associated and the context and what the play looks like/aspects of it when given, right? right?
You guys went all in on becoming better people and you brought me along for the ride.
started watching white collar because the venn diagram of the white collar and leverage fandoms appears to be a circle and you know what. yeah. i get it now.
god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything
Sophie: We can't leave. The Crown is still in the museum.
Eliot: No, Sophie. We gotta get you to safety.
Sophie: No. We know Wilde wants to take me down, but he wants to humiliate me by putting me in prison without the Crown ever having left the museum.
Parker: But if we find the Crown...
Sophie: We put it back. We turn Wilde's humiliation back on himself.
Eliot: Mm-hmm. Does anybody else think this sounds like a trap?
Harry: I do. I hate this idea. Sophie, let's go home. Let's regroup. Let's live to fight Wilde another day.
Sophie: No. We are taking Arthur Wilde down today.
L:R S2E13 The Crowning Achievement Job
the mile high job is, hands down, one of the fucking BEST episodes in the entire series
i saw a post talking about that poor flight attendant and how fucking FUNNY the episode would be from her pov, but like. there is so much happening in this episode that is pure gold
parker playing flight attendant and being TERRIBLE at it, and the other attendant just.....being annoyed with her but not bothering to correct her or say anything. she is NOT paid enough for this bullshit
eliot just...being an air marshal. being grumpy and disgruntled the ENTIRE flight. telling that guy to watch the movie instead of watching eliot rifle thru other people's belongings with ZERO explanation of what he's doing. fighting a dude in an PLANE BATHROOM and then stealing his knife
nate and sophie having a marital dispute the ENTIRE EPISODE and not really being much help overall
and hardison... hardison MY BELOVED he's playing office and he's having the time of his LIFE. getting in by pretending to be a maintenance guy who doesn't speak english. gaslighting the guy who got off the elevator next to him into thinking he's just being racist when he (correctly) concludes that hardison and the maintenance guy are the same person. hijacking a meeting and running it well. redirecting everyone by pretending its his birthday. wearing the silly hat while wrapping up the con. pretending to get fired so he has an exit. DOING HIS JOB SO WELL THAT HE MAKES CHERYL BELIEVE HE'S ACTUALLY WORKED THERE THE ENTIRE TIME.
and then, of course, there's the whole "landing a plane on an ocean highway" that never fails to give me cold chills bc like. imagine ur drivin down that highway, normal thursday, when u hear a plane overhead. not unusual, but it sounds a little close.... and then you fucking SEE the plane pass over you REALLY FUCKING CLOSE before coming to a stop just ahead of u
truly one of my favorite episodes of all time
she/they | fan of too many things do i know how to use tumblr? not really
