angsty chaos firefighter

In season 1, we've got Hardison bailing on a job to stay up all night gaming (which ultimately works out to the team's advantage)

We've got Parker doing whatever risky nonsense triggered Nate to insist she do jury duty (which resulted in a new case)

We've got Sophie pulling her David bullshit that actually blows everything up

And we've got Nate being a drunk unreliable asshole

But does Eliot ever keep a secret or go overboard or fall to have everyone's back for even an off screen minute that's referred to? The closest I can think is that he didn't tell them the client was his ex in the Two-Horse Job, but it comes out immediately and doesn't have any effect on the course of action

It seems like they kept Eliot's betrayal for later, for the big one, when they find out he worked for the Big Bad. But that's several seasons in. Am I thinking too hard about this? Or did the writers keep Eliot, with all his secretive history of violence, as the one crew member who is ALWAYS there for the others, never has an ulterior agenda, never withholds crucial info, never goes off duty.

The woman gasped at him like he’d thrown acid at her, taking a step back and dragging her son with her. “What kind of person uses language like that in front of somebody else’s child? I’ll call the police and have you done for harassment, you know!”

“Lady, you’re in our building and refusing to leave us alone,” Jason snapped back at her tiredly, putting a hand on his hip and tilting his head to the side. “Call the police, I fucking dare you; we’ll see who they think is the problem here.”

But then my Mum asked me if I had anything that would work for my cousin, who likes flowers and her favourite colour is pink.

So I went out to the shed to look for some fabric to throw together a nice little twin and low and behold, found this Radiant quilt top!

It’s a bit short at 85” long, but will still work. I am going to keep looking and see if I have any of the border print left over so I can make a matching pillowcase to go with it. EDIT: I did! I had 36” left and needed 30” to make a burrito(hot dog) pillowcase.

I put a bright pink cotton on the back and a dark pink thread so the flower quilting would show up, with light pink thread on the top. Found a great matching plum pink for the binding and off she goes to my cousin!

Also also! If I fold the quilt the right way, it fits nice and snug in the pillowcase LOL

Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.

It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.

“women never shut up”

Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.

“women are shallow”

Lol next

“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”

Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion

“women are too emotional”

Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.

“women are shallow” (just read the book, Dataclysm. by okcupid founder (?) that includes data about sex, gender, race, in finding online romantic partners)

“ball and chain” (University of London)

She literally went “debate me! Debate me!” Over and over like the grifter she is and when she couldn’t get what she wanted and when “no” wasn’t enough she resorted to retaliatory sex-pestery, posting an image of somebody’s body with intention to shame and embarrass and spawn more waspish tittering from her internet followers.

Now my brain always goes "they wake up in their younger selves one day" sort of thing because I just love the thought of the chaos these guys could get up to with all the knowledge they have

BUT

Nate would be so confused. He's the only non time traveler because he didn't get caught in whatever shenanigans caused it in the first place because, well, he's dead. Suddenly this team is weirdly close and cohesive. They were already speed running this found family but its now somehow worse???? And ohhhhh the angst potential.

THE ANGST

Because here is the love of Sophie's life (but he's not really her Nate at this point is he?) - the man she loved and lost and mourned. She had just begun to really find her way with the grief and there he is again. But this Nate has yet to become that Nate, and if the team changes things - hits certain targets sooner, or differently, would he ever really be her Nate again?

Would he be the Nate that pulled together the original crew? Who's legacy created Leverage International and has impacted more lives than he could ever possibly know?

Because it was Nate that taught them they could be more than they ever believed. That taught them the skills they learned to hurt could be used to help. That they could forge their own path in the world, and it could be so so different from what they thought it could.

(It was Nate that brought together Elliot, Parker and Hardison together. Helped them heal, got them to lean on each other. Support each other. Learn how to ask each other for help - even of they never say the actual words).

Sophie, Parker, Hardison and Elliot would have all this history that Nate is now missing. They would be around this man who was foundational in who they became, and he would know none of it.
