Call me Zana. Right now I'm into Leverage, Trigun, Dracula Daily, and a whole bunch of other random shit. 26, they/she, queer. Unapologetically pro-AO3 and anti-anti, because censorship is bad. Mostly reblogs. I have a tendency to babble in the tags on the rare occasions I actually tag anything.

about two minutes prior to this is when Kate learned that you become an Avenger For Real ™ the first time you get to be the person that tells Clint what magic has happened to him this time.  ‘ordinarily we’d draw straws or something,’ they say, and man with friends like this? ‘but he lets you get away with everything, so.’

  • go get ‘em, tiger (Nat)
  • I’d take his bow away while he’s still kinda stunned if I were you (Jess)
  • no no, leave the bow. he looks like he can’t figure out why he’s holding it,  like he signed up to be a part-time cupid and only looked at what it pays and didn’t actually read the manual (Bobbi)

katie is this wings?  this is fucking wings oh my god I HATE MAGIC

DnD: Honor Among Thieves as a new!Leverage campaign

This has been said, right? The Leverage team has to do an Actual Play podcast, for con reasons.

You’ve got Harry as Edgin the Bard. He’s still pretty new to the team when this starts, so nobody’s quite ready to point out that the dead wife + missing daughter plot is (a) a bit overdone, (b) quite psychologically interesting, given his own family. Harry has never played DnD before and absolutely loves it.

Breanna is Simon. Breanna has played an uncountable number of tabletop RPGs in as many different systems, and she loves the character creation. Her character’s overwhelming insecurity occasionally has hints of the pressure that might be felt by a young hacker with big shoes to fill.

Parker is Doric. When everyone’s shocked she didn’t play a rogue, she says she’s trying to work on being more comfortable around animals. Has played DnD once before with Hardison and Eliot (as a rogue).

Eliot is Holga. Obviously.

Sophie is the DM. Because it’s for a con, she does all the characters and voices flawlessly.

And finally, for a brief and shining moment when he has time to join, Hardison is Xenk Yendar. He chose his overly literal character mannerisms specifically for the delight of hearing Eliot growl “Dammit, Hardison!” and awards himself a secret point every time it happens.

Alright it’s theory time. (practically no spoilers I’d say).

This one’s a bit far out there but it’s been living in my head rent-free so it’s time to evict it to tumblr. 

Satoru Hosonaga is Miles & Gregory Edgeworth’s ancestor. YES I SAID IT WAS FAR OUT THERE PLEASE LET ME FINISH

Okay, so if you can’t read the horrible low-res screenshot, the gist is that there are a couple visual similarities between them, being:

- All three have a sprig of hair that sticks up in the back. It’s unnoticeable from the icons alone (exception of Hosonaga), but from the sprites and in-game art both Edgeworths have that little tuft.

Also on the topic of hair, in the AA trilogy icon for Miles his hair color not only matches his father’s a bit more but also Hosonaga’s. (however in DD and SOJ it turns into a much lighter grey)

- All three have glasses. Granted, Miles gets his glasses later on in life, however it implies that they all have bad vision. Poor vision “tends to run in families”, however is not genetic. 

- Both Gregory and Satoru have defined cheekbones. Miles doesn’t, however he is 100% related to Gregory so he is excused for this one. 

- Not written on the image, however on the wiki their heights are all pretty close to each other.

Miles Edgeworth: 5′10′’; 178 cm

Gregory Edgeworth: 5′9′’; 176 cm

Satoru Hosonaga: 5′10′’; 178 cm

Granted, Hosonaga is from the late 1800′s/early 1900′s, so the height likely isn’t accurate. However, it is written on the wiki & supports my argument, so I will be taking it as canon despite its flaws.

THINGS CAN CHANGE THROUGH GENERATIONS. Miles and Gregory have vastly different hairstyles, and yet they’re still related. Skin tone can be accounted to lighting/health conditions. (Hosonaga has a colored background for his icon and also probably suffers from iron deficiency/anemia due to his constant coughing)

Now for personality, I’ll be going off of the Ace Attorney Wiki.

- All three are honest & hardworking.

- Professional/Serious demeanor. (Hosonaga has the wackiest disguises yet treats them all seriously & professionally so I guess.)

- Dedication to the truth. (it’s Ace Attorney what else would it be)

- Caring/Dedicating a lot for family/friends. (Miles to Phoenix, Gregory to his son & maybe Raymond Shields, Hosonaga to Asogi/Ryunosuke)

In conclusion, there is proof that Satoru Hosonaga is an Edgeworth.

Anyways, that’s the end of this theory. Personally, I quite like it, however I understand why many people would prefer other possible ancestors. Hosonaga is a background character that doesn’t have a lot of screentime, but he’s also one of my favorite characters in the whole of the Ace Attorney franchise and he deserves more love than he gets. 

My humble contribution:

I love how the ot3's relationship to Sterling develops

Season 1: He's an enemy plain and simple, nothing more than someone to fight

Season 2: He's now like dad(Nate)'s ex-boyfriend who's either trying to win him back or send him to prison, taking their dad away from them

Season 3-4: He's now like some annoying uncle figure that pops in to question all of their life decisions and screw them all over in favor of their cousin

Season 5: Did this guy fuck our parents?

More Leverage thoughts. We all talk about how great Eliot is at playing a part, but can we talk about how ready he is to dress up too?

Being fashionable/artsy? He comes down the stairs with a scarf and eyeliner. Like. No one said he had to. Where did he even get the eyeliner? He just has it. He. Wants. To. Dress. Up.

i'll just never be tired of the chef episode. the eliot backstory! people working WITH parker's autism and helping her find a side special interest! hardison nerding out over lasers and experimental food! eliot's ENTIRE INTERACTIONS with the french goons.

(i Do go feral for people calling eliot their dog in case anyone was wondering)

and the oceans eleven-esque cadence of "serve his head on a platter ?"

"was it too much? as soon as i said it i felt-"

"no no; it was good. i liked it."

and of course! the fact that they all bought PLANE TICKETS so they could stand around in the breezeway and gloat

i know christian kane claims to be 5’9” but i don’t believe it. he looks like he’s 5’6” tops. anyway short king eliot is always going up against guys a full foot taller than him just saying “what’s up man” and kicking ass. inspiring really. love a short king.

I know, I know we all talked about it before, but listen.

The anger in his voice. The anger is Sterling's voice when he thought Nate let his Team die for the black book.

Sterling might have wanted them in jail, tho at this point probably not even that, but not dead. Not for something he views useless.

He is so angry Nate let them die.
