BOTTOMS (2023) + Movie References And Parallels

ALL I KNOW IS PAIN

I believe in you.

the funniest part of the leverage pilot is that Parker and Hardison have guns for like 30 seconds. We see them get confiscated by Nate then, I'm assuming, the police. Then they never have guns again. Those two took one look at Eliot and went "yeah we don't need 'em anymore, Ponytail's got this." It's possible it's just one of those pilot vs rest of series character changes or something something trusting this stranger so much that they immediately shift how they protect themselves something something respecting how much he hates guns something something it's love at first con, your honor.

😭

ohhhh everyone at portland row has the same amount of hatred for themselves and they love each other so much and they would happily die if it means the other two would live and they each hate themselves so much but they refuse to watch the others fall into that state of casual suicide/ spiral of self-deprication and they each pull the other up from the void constantly because they are each other home and they all love each other so much and i'm going to c r y thinking about them. they're child soldiers hating themselves for actions they have no control over but the others look at them and say "on purpose!!! i am going to love you on purpose!!!!" they live in a society who doesn't care if they live or die, so they've made one for themselves in portland row where they take tea before every session and the others come running when something bad happens to the others because the care and they love so passionately and so wholly and so consistently and when george and lucy thought they were going to die, the first thing that they thought to do was apologize to each other. and it doesn't matter if lucy and lockwood do love each other because that's not what portland row was built on. when lockwood was a kid, it was built on his parents love (for their work and for their children), and it was built on his sister's love. and now lockwood is the last of his name but not really because, isn't everyone in portland row a lockwood, and a karim, and a carlyle? it doesn't matter what sort of love fills portland row, as long as it's true and honest and whole. love is.

You know those characters who are so insanely dedicated and loyal to the main couple of the show they’re on?

The one that should be considered a third wheel but, somehow, they just belong there, by their side, and while others may question it, the couple never does.

Not once.

The one that is so ride or die for each person individually and the couple’s relationship that it gives you the most intense yearning/poly vibes you’ve ever felt.

The one that will kill for them. Risk everything to ensure their two favorite people are safe and happy.

Special shout out to Eliot Spencer and Walter Skinner for being the epitome of that character type. They’re the real ones. Best boys, fr.

The thing about Leverage is it prioritizes what it takes seriously exactly right.

It's a fun, pulpy, goofy show but it has the most nuanced, thoughtful, and lasting character development.

A love story unfolds between a socially inexperienced thief and a hacker who doesn't hesitate in his willingness to be patient and understanding as she works out her unfamiliar feelings.

Wil Wheaton gets electrocuted and you can see his skeleton like a cartoon.

A grifter has an identity crisis and embarks on a lone journey of self-discovery, to return better and more certain of herself than before.

The team invents the Holodeck so they can hack into the dreams of off-brand Steve Jobs.

It's ridiculous. It's silly. It's brilliant. I've watched every episode over a dozen times.

I honestly love it so much. It makes me feel grounded and safe.

You better believe I have watched the entirety of Lockwood and Co three times. I’m absolutely enamored with this show. What a love letter to the original content. What an incredible adaptation. So yes, I’m gonna be streaming this show in the background for the next month because everybody involved in this deserves another season. The actors and crew have earned it and the fans have too.

I will go feral if we don’t get to see Hollow Boy and Creeping Shadow adapted now. Can you fricken imagine

Eliot and A'Yan.
