Doomed For Ever

edgy season 4 Leo is really funny to me. poor kid is going through a lot but he's being unintentionally HILARIOUS about it

"Us? Oh, of *course* our Dachshund sleeps inside- we just let him out in the morning and make sure he comes back for dinner. He just does his own thing, no worries."

"Um, you know it's not humane to keep a chihuahua confined to an apartment? They're dogs, they're natural predators. They need to experience hunting behaviors or they get depressed. No we don't leash ours, he absolutely hates it, we just let him come and go whenever."

Yall get how fucking stupid that sounds, right? So stop letting your goddamn cats get eaten and attacked and infected and hit by cars

A toddler would probably love full unattended access to the neighborhood too, but we don't do that either, do we

Annie Kroy Episode: 2x01 The Beantown Bailout Job, 2x15 The Maltese Falcon Job Character: Sophie Annie Kroy. Name's familiar. My family does business in North London with Terry Adams, and a couple of other organizations. We handle the money.

Alice White Episode: 1x10 The Juror #6 Job (also used as a throwaway name in the Morning After Job, and in a sense in the Girls' Night Out Job) Character: Parker This isn't for me. It's addressed to somebody named Alice White. You are Alice White. It's one of the aliases I made for you, vegetarian, bookkeeper. She had a pretty wild time at her sister's wedding in Phoenix. You should check out her Facebook page. Alice White has jury duty. Damn, I am good. Yeah, congratulations. Alice thanks you for getting her out of it.

Ooooh thank you @aardvaark for new facts about my girl / new organized crime people to know. I guess I know jack shit about organized crime in England. Now I will be on wikipedia for several hours fixing that.

Katherine Clive (alias she uses a lot as an actress, and the one that "dies" in The Two Live Crew Job): based on Kitty Clive - Kitty being short for Catherine - who was a real British stage & musical theatre actress in the mid 1700s. John Rogers said Sophie would’ve chosen the alias bc Kitty Clive was one of the first women to perform Shakespeare. previously, the roles of female characters were performed by men.

Violet Cesario (alias used on a dating app in Leverage: Redemption): based on the Shakespearean character Viola, the protagonist of Twelfth Night. Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario. the play is a romantic comedy in which the use of aliases and disguises causes many problems for the characters. so it’s very fitting for her dating app persona lol. (fun fact: the 2006 movie She’s The Man is a loose modern adaptation of Twelfth Night).

Charlotte Prentiss, Duchess of Hanover: firstly, Hanover is not a real current duchy. there is no duke or duchess of Hanover. but it is the name of a perfectly real place in Germany, and was once an electorate of the Holy Roman Empire and later the Kingdom of Hanover. the House of Hanover is a real German royal house that also produced multiple British monarchs. the alias’ name is possibly based off of Sophia Charlotte of Hanover, who was made the first queen consort of Prussia when she married Fredrick I of Prussia. her older brother became King George I of Great Britain and Ireland. (disclaimer: idk much about british & german history, these details are gained from a quick google search, please lmk if anything’s wrong).

Emily Peal, her consultant alias from The Inside Job. this is presumably a reference to Emma Peel, a character from the 1960s British crime/spy show The Avengers (unrelated to Marvel’s The Avengers). hardison’s alias in the same episode is Jonathan Steed, which would come from John Steed, the main character of The Avengers. while Hardison loves his tv references (there’s plenty Doctor Who aliases), i’m pretty sure this is Sophie’s doing because 1) she seems to be leading the con in this episode and 2) Hardison tends to prefer sci-fi shows, while Sophie goes for the romance and crime type shows. another fun fact: John Rogers has confirmed that "Tara Cole" is a reference to Tara King from The Avengers, the character that essentially took over from Emma Peel when she left the show. much like how Tara (albeit temporarily) takes over from Sophie.

I listened to the song Green Green dress from Tick tick boom and it was such a vibe that dancing alone wasn't enough to express my joy.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.
