So, not Leverage Crew as Pirates specifically. Leverage Crew as characters from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Okay
okay
okay
SO.
HILARIOUSLY the first thing that comes to mind is that Sophie is Mr. Gibbs. HEAR ME OUT. Who’s the voice of reason? Who’s the lovable rapscallion that nevertheless is the Clear Parental Figure? Who keeps everyone’s heads on their shoulders? WHO IS CONSTANTLY PUTTING UP WITH JACK’S DRUNKEN ANTICS-
On that note, Nate is ABSOLUTELY Jack. Firstly, the alcoholism, but also! “You’re mad!” “Well thank heaven’s for that because otherwise this’d probably never work.” TELL ME THAT’S NOT BASICALLY EVERY INTERACTION NATE HAS WITH HIS CREW WHEN THINGS DON’T GO TO PLAN.
Parker is totally Ragetti. Weird pockets of knowledge, always piping up saying something that makes everyone else look at her like she’s mental, kinda socially awkward… but, also, incredibly handy, absolutely someone you want on your side, and consistently underappreciated/underestimated. Oh, yeah.
NOW. You might THINK. That Eliot would be Will. BUT ACTUALLY. I’m gonna say that’s Hardison. Look, alright. The romance. The pining. The always-there-for-you-but-never-overstepping. Also, Hardison is absolutely the artist of the crew. “Who makes all these?!” “This is a beautiful sword.” Need I say more?
Hilariously Eliot is the hardest one for me with this. But, I am totally gonna give him Elizabeth. Firstly, because it’s hilarious and what is this if not an incredibly intricate shitpost. Secondly, picture the Why Is the Rum Gone scene with Nate and Eliot. That is Exactly how it would go down, alright. Thirdly, I’m totally equating Elizabeth knowing the pirate code to Eliot’s “It’s a very distinctive _________” bits. How does she know this? Where did she gain this knowledge? It doesn’t matter what’s important is she has it and she’s going to use it to make you Suffer.
