does anyone else notice how misinterpreted the houses are?
like why are slytherins refered to as being ‘edgy bad chicks/guys’ and ‘sex gods/goddesses’ when it’s their house, of all four houses, that values traditionalism?
why are hufflepuffs described as relaxed hippies who prefer to chill and eat cookies all day when their house is the one that values hard work?
why do people think ravenclaws are stuck-up and boring bookish nerds when literally the only personality traits you have to possess to be a ravenclaw are creativity, wit, wisdom, acceptance, originality, intelligence and individuality?
why are gryffindors depicted as brash, rude rulebreakers when chivalry is so important to them?
oh lordy, thank you for this post because I could have never made one as well-written. While sure, the aesthetics are pretty and all, but they hardly ever accurate.

I came here to remind you of something important.
Happy Golden Mile Day everyone!
Designed by Oskar Pernefeldt, this proposal for a flag that represents our entire planet could have a future on Mars.
Centered in the flag, seven rings form a flower – a symbol of the life on Earth. The rings are linked to each other, which represents how everything on our planet, directly or indirectly, are linked. The blue field represents water which is essential for life – also as the oceans cover most of our planet’s surface. The flower’s outer rings form a circle which could be seen as a symbol of Earth as a planet and the blue surface could represent the universe.

#The reason this joke works#and the show doesn’t need to have Hardison display this macho protectiveness for Parker and Sophie in this moment#is because the women on this show have agency#The joke is funny because the audience can think “yeah right you’ll never get them to do that in a million years”#Chaos is the epitome of the bitter “friendzoned” neckbeard dudebro#and it’s clear that he wants to be a part of this crew and he can’t figure out why he doesn’t fit in it’s because of stuff like this#this show is awesome in the way that it deconstructs casual sexism#and that’s why the team works so well together#the team respects each other for their abilities and loves each other for their eccentricities#and that’s why all the dynamics between the five of them work#reason 11212 why Leverage is awesome (x)
So who else wants to see the scene where Chaos makes his demands known to Parker and Sophie? With Nate, Eliot, and Hardison just standing around waiting gleefully for the fallout.
ME, I would also like to see that scene, awesome lady characters, and awesome male characters who respect them (via bethanyactually)
Right?! Women as complex, layered characters: this is how you do it. I also love this bit of the DVD commentary floating around:
JOHN ROGERS: And also, this is an informal rule, is, y’know, and we’ll probably wind up breaking it eventually but, I have a real bug up my ass about female characters being in danger. Like hostage. And it’s kind of the rule we don’t give up.
CHRIS DOWNEY: Is it just female? I thought it was in general.
JOHN ROGERS: No, very specific. If our women get kidnapped, they either rescue themselves or they kick ass on the way out of the rescue. If you see, every time our girls get grabbed there’s a punch thrown or- No, I- I hate that crap.
ASDJDSASKL JOHN ROGERS, LET ME LOVE YOU.
Even the female villains are handled fairly. Their monstrous crimes are committed because they are greedy, power hungry, or callously ambitious—failings that can apply to all of humanity. In other words, they are never villainized just because they are women. They are not sainted either: women are shown to be capable of the same evil as anyone else, and are taken just as seriously.
Even the most likely candidate for female character assassination, Nate’s ex wife Maggie, turns the cliché on its head: she is literally everybody’s favorite. Even Sophie’s. I LOVE THAT IDEA SO MUCH I HAVE NO WORDS FOR IT. Another typical evil female caricature, The Catty Workplace Bitch, is subverted in Tara. She has all the signs at first: her overt sexuality and hidden motives make the audience suspicious of her, but she turns out to be a genuine ally in the end. And even before we know that, even when the crew doesn’t like her and she doesn’t like them, Tara is able to work with them like the damn professional she is. HOW GREAT IS THAT?! IT’S SO GREAT I JUST WANNA HUG THIS SHOW SO MUCH FOREVER. GAH.
