there's an incomplete list here on the leverage wiki!
i could have sworn i saw a compilation on tumblr at some point too but i can't find it
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?
my somewhat unpopular opinion is that "famous story retold from female character's pov" is a good concept, actually. it's just that it became gimmicky very fast and spawned a storm of lazy works that refuse to engage with the source material in any meaningful way and flanderize everything into generic YA tropes. but at its core taking a known story and exploring it through the perspective of a female character even, and perhaps especially, when said character is not a particularly active agent on said story, is a way to remind people that women are still people with rich inner lives and that the real life women that we learned to think as pawns in the lives of men were/are still humans whose complex interiority deserve exploration on principle that everyone, but especially the people who live on the margins, deserve exploration. but that's a concept that gets defeated when most people writing those lazy retellings can't write complex interiority to save their lives.
24 page comic adaptation final: COMPLETE! Now I just have to print it tomorrow and everything will be peachyy
Edit: forgot to say this but this is an adaptation of a few chapters of the book Seasparrow by Kristin Cashore.
Second edit: I’m not actually going to continue drawing this… it’s a whole ass novel 😭
god. it’s eliot fucking spencer.
because it always has been eliot spencer.
eliot, who let himself be tortured, who resisted torture, in a situation he could get himself out of in five minutes, because they were torturing homeless veterans.
eliot, who only counts himself as saving someone’s life two and a half times because that half time he was the one sent to kill him.
eliot, who was willing to take down a billion dollar corporation, who begged nate to do everything he could, because of one guy with a hardware store and one near-closing grocery store.
eliot, who offered to kill a man for parker in less than a breath because she asked, who broke his rule on killing because nate could take down his biggest demon, who ran toward a bullet because he knew parker could take care of a city-killing virus.
eliot spencer, who started this season stabbed and bleeding, who was told someone didn’t want him to keep taking hits meant for him.
eliot, who was tired and just wanted his own bed.
he wakes up every day and acknowledges that he still has work to do.
and he never, ever, needed convincing to take down a corrupt mayor who was running drugs in his town. he knew that it needed to be fixed, what needed to be done to save the town, that this is the worst of it. he wanted more time. to do it right. so the surprises wouldn’t happen.
and if you’re looking at it, really looking, i think, parker doesn’t try to convince him to stay.
she knows he’s in.
because it’s who he’s always been.
It cracks me up that one of Sophie’s main assets in season 5 is her improv group that a) never asks any questions and b) is always down for any and all shenaniganery. Who are these people. Why are they here. I love them.
Had no idea how badly we all needed "The Girls Night Out Job Pt. 2" in 2025
Mesopotamian girl sending clay tablets to her best friend who lives five city states to the west: what if..... Enkidu begot Gilgamesh with child?🤭
Losing it at “Carmilla would wake up late, would never eat but would take a cup of chocolate.”
Where is THAT in the vampire lore. We’ve been robbed. “I do not drink…wine. Hot cocoa only.”

Ot3 this and ot3 that, but somehow this isn't posted every single day under the leverage ot3 tag???
What is even the point of all this
every time i see someone call kirk and spock the oldest ship, i'm filled with the urge to go "hmm actually the holmes and watson girlies have been here for a hundred years now", and i refrain because i know the natural conclusion of this game is gilgamesh and enkidu
Just once, I'd love for someone from Hardison's past to show up and attempt to throw a wrench in things
she/they | fan of too many things do i know how to use tumblr? not really
