Is anyone talking about how Percy, who said he chose Annabeth for the quest because he thought she'd push him down the stairs if it meant the quest would succeed, actually did that for her instead?
Bro was literally poisoned and dying and saw how Annabeth was willing to take a stand against the literal DEMIGOD KILLER to protect him and what did he do? PUSHED BOTH ANNABETH AND GROVER DOWN THE STAIRS SO THEY COULD CARRY ON THE QUEST WITHOUT HIM!!!!!
Beautiful. Cinema at its finest! Love me some good ass parallels that develop these characters better than I ever could imagine!
I like how leverage has a genius character and an autistic character but the autistic character isn't the genius character. the genius is a 22 year old black man with adhd who becomes an expert in anything you give him within 24 hours and the autistic character is a white woman who jumps off buildings for fun and once stabbed a man with a fork because he encroached on her personal space and sense of moral conduct
PAIN
"And I want you to know that Portland Row will always be open for business. There's a light burning in the living room, cakes on the table, new cases yet to solve...Please drop by any time. Its your home too after all."
im weeping mr shroud.
Eliot Spencer, Parker, and Hardison- all skittish children/teenagers that Nate finds on the street.
Nate finding them in an alley in Boston. Eliot protecting Parker and Hardison- the meanest glare on his face. Snarling at Nate and using his body to shield them from this strange man. All three of the children look haggard and starving- Parker and Hardison holding onto each other with one hand- while the other is gripping Eliot's dirty torn shirt. Eliot whose blue eyes are hard as a stone- challenging Nate to come closer.
Nate, who has no qualms about three dirty, grimy, and... is that blood? Children in an alleyway. With placated hands in the air- looking directly at Eliot. Honesty on his face- "Come home with me."
They don't. Nate leaves.
The next day- Nate comes back. Asks the same thing. Same response. He leaves after leaving a bag of food behind.
Their wild animals and to get them to trust him- he needs to be gentle. So he continues to do this every time he passes the alley.
Something changes, when one day the girl- Parker- comes to the opening. She's gnawing on her bottom lip fear in her eyes.
"Please!" She begs, "Their hurt!"
Then she it's like a waterfall of words. Parker is explaining how Hardison tried to get food- but was caught and Eli fought the shopkeeper off- but had gotten shot and it's infected and Hardison tried to go for the gun and- and- and...
Nate follows Parker to the end of the alleyway and Eliot looks sick. Hardison isn't looking any better. Parker is crying. She's begging Nate to help.
He does. He convinces the EMT's that they are his adopted kids that ran away for three days. Somehow they don't question him. They take Hardison and Eliot in. Nate tells the doctors to keep them in the same room. He knows how protective Eliot is.
Somehow- they survive.
...Okay. That's all I got. π
I love them so much ππ
Not to state the obvious, but I've been watching for like the 400th time and from what I can gather from the wound bandaging scene, Lockwood's opinion matters to Lucy that's why she's so touched when Lockwood said he believed her
And then there's the whole eating thing--Lockwood buttering her toast, prior to that Lucy being famished in the first episode; Lucy calmly forgiving him and pulling the eggcup joke to tell him it's okay she's not giving up on him it's just another day and then them eating midnight breakfast as they wait for George, that just reeks of them being "each other's home" warmth idk how else to put it
BOTTOMS (2023) + movie references and parallels
listen, no matter how you feel about the leverage OT3, I think we can all agree that Eliot needs to engage in some handholding (platonic or otherwise) with Parker and Hardison. Itβd be good for his blood pressure.
I'm so tired, I'm so so tired.
Watching TV shows has become the most tiring thing in this dystopian, late-stage capitalistic hellscape.
It doesn't matter how much we love those shows, how much we talk about them, how much we promote it online. Big streaming services will just cancel them on a Friday night and then let them slowly fall into oblivion. If by SOME MIRACLE the show doesn't get cancelled after the first season, it'll just decline over the years, some crazy writer will cook up a poorly written plot, or they'll just lose interest in the project and then leave the fans in the trenches.
Big corporate streaming services just think that views are gonna materialize out of thin air??? They barely promote their new shows and they DEMAND high views just to let them keep going? It's THEIR JOB to promote shows, but obviously they couldn't care less, they only care about money, and they leave the promoting job to the fans which is batshit insane if you ask me.
Streaming services were supposed to be the solution, the chosen one if you will, but they turned out to be the villains.
Owning a movie or a show is now absolutely impossible because God forbid they release DVDs anymore. Streaming services will just randomly DELETE their cancelled shows and movies from their platforms. Fans are now supposed to be PR teams for Netflix, HBO, Prime and whatever other stupid streaming apps out there because they couldn't be bothered to,,, idk,,, do their job and promote their own shows!? They're literally acting like villains.
It feels dystopic really.
I know I probably sound like a person yelling at a cloud but it's starting to become exhausting.
And I know that there are far worse things out there, that there are more important matters to focus on, but I'm so tired.
They're killing art. There are so many people out there that put all their love and all their passion and skills into creating amazing shows that SO MANY other people love and they feel represented by, but they don't care.
This is literally my last straw.
They're killing art with their greed.
You're telling me Eliot Spencer, the guy who wipes the floor with 6/7 bad guys in SECONDS, the guy who got rid of a goon in the kitchen and didn't even have to stop garnishing and plating coz he'll be damned if he got an order late, that guy, just, tells his Hardison to stop eating his food? Doesn't try to wrestle it away? When we know he could take it away and paralyse him with one hand without even using all the fingers? Instead he just says stop eating my food and grumbles how Hardison can't run a brew pub and then cooks for said brew pub? Huh.
Random stuff I love. Currently obsessed with Lockwood and co. Pls go stream it on Netflix we need season 2!!
