Leverage  –  Favorite Scenes 5/?  –  Hardison’s Codenames

(The Gold Job)

• #SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS SCENE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
• #1. i don’t think that the show ever actually had hardison SAY his own code name out loud and if they did it was real quiet
• #because i’ve seen this episode twice in the last like month and i feel i would have noticed
• #that his name for himself was HARDIMAN
• #ALEC. BUDDY. BABY BOY.
• #that is such a third-grade-THIS-WOULD-BE-MY-SUPERHERO-NAME superhero name
• #that i assume that’s what it fucking is
• #that somewhere in a box at his nana’s house waiting for the beautiful day when parker and eliot find it
• #is a box full of hardiman comics that hardison drew himself in elementary school and never quite let go of
• #HARDIMAN. IN HIS SPIDERMAN-STYLE OUTFIT WITH A PAINTBALL SPLOTCH AS HIS ICON don’t talk to me don’t look at me close your goddamn eyes
• #2.
• #look how happy hardison and parker are when eliot is happy
• #sophie is like ‘aw eliot isn’t that adorable’ but not parker and hardison
• #parker and hardison are just BALLS OF PURE DELIGHT at wresting some happiness from their grump lump
• #3. raise your hands if you think it kills hardison a little inside that half the team’s names are elements and the other half aren’t
• #*RAISES BOTH HANDS HIGH IN THE AIR*
• #but it was the only way to give parker a name she would like that wasn’t ‘captain cash’
• #which is her name in the hardiman comic book he’s totally not writing where she is his love interest/nemesis
• #along with a character called hair man that hardison is never
• #ever
• #e v e r
• #telling eliot about
• #HARDIMAN OKAY GOD this is it i’ve chosen it at long last after many years of searching
• #this hill is the one. this is the hill i want to die on.
• #thief juice: it’s a mouth crime (via gyzym)
