Barry Allen playing D&D
Barry Allen making a cool character, who has a husband in his lore
Said husband is a cool, smooth-talking ex-conman turned community leader called the Lord of Ice and uses near-exclusively ice spells
I don't know how in the world Snart finds out, but he definitely does
One of the things I love most about Leverage: The Carnival Job is that it's one of the few times we are reminded just how very dangerous all of these people actually can be.
The pivot is so fast, so severe - from kinda fun heist that has Sophie and Nate Sophieing and Nateing to the max - to deadly serious the minute a child is in danger. Eliot's pivot is usually the most commented on - because we love protective Eliot! - but it's also the least surprising because we already know how dangerous he is.
This is emphasized by their badass entry into the carnival. We usually see them together like this during the Gloat, so it's often goofy, or at least smug. Here they are just grim determination.
It's also evident in how they present Hardison - usually he's styled to hide what a big guy he is and to play up his gentleness and goofiness (even before Hodge bulked up for the movies) and to emphasize his brains over brawn role in the team. Here he has his hoodie up, his face shrouded, hands in pockets, which makes his silhouette look bigger.
The camera work also changes in the first few scenes after Molly is taken: starts swooping, mirroring a carnival ride, disorientation.
It's just so many little details that make this such a great show.
Couldn't resist.
I wonder what Amenhotep would say if he knew that in three and a half thousand years, someone would draw a picture of his beloved dog?

Speaking of Barry being able to read Leonard Snart scarily well, imagine that Barry notices how Snart reacts to people Barry knows, and files that away in his opinions of that person
Barry is in the cortex with someone he finds kind of annoying but harmless, Snart walks in for Definitely-Not-Flirting-While-Doing-Business Reasons, and starts lowkey acting like this guy is an Immediate Threat that he's trying to act cool around to not set him off. And Barry immediately knocks like 5 points off of the "how much do i trust this guy" ranking. Subtly starts telling him less things, looks into what he's doing on the downlow, treats him as potentially suspicious And turns out... The guy does have bad intentions
Leonard comes in and meets some of Barry's new friends/coworkers, and clearly seems to mark one of them as more trustworthy/less of a threat than everyone else. And when Barry needs help or someone to confide in, he goes to that person over everyone else
Barry comes in to Saints and Sinners and sees a regular he's run into before, but hasn't seen interact with Snart. He thought the guy might be pretty cool. But today he walks into them talking, and Immediately sees that Snart is closed off, jumpy, does NOT like that guy in his space. And Barry immediately takes cues off of that, turns the guy down when he later asks to have drinks together next time Barry drops by Saints
If Snart seems unnerved by someone Barry knows, Barry trusts his instincts. Even if Leonard never says anything to Barry out loud, he still takes note of that. If Snart likes someone, or just thinks they're reliable, Barry will trust that instinct.
Even if Snart doesn't say his feelings out loud, Barry trusts him so innately that he will listen to Snart's instincts when it's clear he's feeling a type of way
New year, new sewing classes!
As some of you may know, last year I started teaching a sewing class at a local community centre. It has been an amazing experience for me. And it's been a great way for people in the community with low- or no-income to learn.
However, over the past year, our stash of donated fabric has started to dwindle, and our thread is down to like one spool of mustard yellow basting thread from the 80s. Which is why I do this little outreach every new term.
With the support of viewers like you*, I've been able to purchase fabrics for my students who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it. And because of that, they were able to make garments that they would be proud to show off.
I'm hoping to collect at least $100, to have 10 for each student. If I reach that goal, I'll post one of the detailed tutorials for one of the group projects we work on!
You can support the class through my ko-fi
and I also have a wishlist of general supplies(Thread. Thread.) that you can check out as well.
As always, if you aren't able to contribute, reblogging so this gets a wider reach is a huge help.
I'm looking forward to sharing their projects with you!
*I'm sorry, I had to...
Okay, it looks like tumblr is refusing to do redirects to the wishlist, so I've removed the hyperlink. If you want to see the wishlist, highlight and right click the amazon link, then open in new tab. Sorry for the extra step!
Barry: OMG Snart is here. Act natural.
Also Barry:
First off, spin this wheel.
You just landed on one of 200 fandoms that have been very popular somewhere on Tumblr over the years. Topics were chosen either from appearing on a @fandom end-of-year recap or from my own long (long, long) site memories before that.
also all of these fandoms are definitely things that really exist in the real world and none of them are Tumblr creations
Favourite Relationships - Leonard and Lisa Snart.
Okay, I’m curious…. Has anybody else been thinking that other uhm ‘criminal elements’ in Central City eventually find out that Cold knows who the Flash is and try to pressure/beat/blackmail it out of him at some point or the other? *coughs* Not that he is in any way or shape helpless, but he IS only human after all and he has his weak spots (his sister? Mick?) so it’s not exactly impossible? I’m not sure why I’m thinking about this right now, I just want for him and Barry to meet one time and for Len to be all bruised and battered and Barry to be like “OMG what happenend? óò” and Len is all “Just business, whatever, what do you want?” and maybe Barry lets it slide this time, except it keeps on happening and he eventually finds out (probably via Lisa??) that Len is actually protecting his secret identity even at the cost of his own safety and I just ……….???
LOOK AT HIM
ColdFlash Date Night.
MASH | 4x20 The Novocaine Mutiny
my most controversial ship? heh...the Thomas W Lawson
motherfucker unlimited
you like that? I got more, how bout the SS Bessemer
This experimental piece o' shit, courtesy of Sir Henry Bessemer, had a stabilized cabin meant to combat seasickness. Unfortunately, due to the kinetic consequences of building a ship like that, it also combatted seaworthiness, and the instant this thing touched water it enthusiastically slammed itself into the pier with all the grace of a twelfth round boxer.
Not to be deterred, Bessemer repaired the ship, hired a veteran sea captain, slapped the stern and sent her out for a second go. The ship then proceeded to crash into the Same Fucking Pier even harder, demolishing it.
The SS Bessemer, her bloodlust satiated, retired from the cruise ship life and settled down in Swanley, where she became a billiard room, and then a lecture hall, and then rubble, due to an encounter with bombs.
This one's for the SS Bessemer. Rest in peace you wild bitch.
