The thing about a good character flaw is that it has to be the same thing as their greatest strength just turned up too high. the person who loves deeply and therefore controls. the person who sees everything and therefore trusts nothing. the person who is so loyal they lose themselves. there are no clean villains and no clean heroes and once you understand that in fiction you can't unsee it in people. everyone is just their best quality at the wrong volume.

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

You say this as if Hardison did not actually design a limited edition Roy Chappell baseball card and hack the Topps website to add it to the catalog. AND as if the limited edition Roy Chappell Topps cards didn’t sell out within an hour and promptly create mass chaos at Topps’ HQ because a) no one knows who this guy is and b) where are these cards and how are they going to ship things that don’t exist and c) 5-10 business days later: HOW are we getting reviews on the website about a product we did not ship to customers because we do not have?

I stand corrected. This is clearly what happened.

Liking Eliot Spencer from leverage feels ... embarrassing is the wrong word but it's like. Of course I like the one with kind eyes and a kind heart and a tragic backstory and buff arms who beats people up and also gets beat up all the time and has a Cool Fight Scene each episode and actually gets injured and you'll see him having to deal with those and he speaks softly at times and others has almost a growl in his voice and. his violent capabilities and shelter dog rizz have captivated me.

the way I see it, at the end of the day, the important thing isn’t exactly how Eliot fits in with Parker and Hardison. read it however you want: familial, platonic, romantic, sexual, queer platonic, familial, or a hundred other things. ultimately they are ParkerHardisonEliot and theres no changing that. they’re intertwined and forever in each others orbit. they are their own people just as much as they’re in each others pockets. they’ll have each others backs until their dying day. and after that if the robot bodies come through

Oh my god I love it
