If I had a nickel for every time someone had to imitate/pretend to be Eliot for a con I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

First Sophie

and now Harry.

Everyone making Hardison good with kids like he didn't immediately suggest tranquilizing trevor

the hot potato job is underrated because what do you mean sophie mimics eliot's voice so well that eliot literally cannot speak in his natural tone??

sophie gradually deepening her voice and even sneaking in a bit of a southern accent at some points was already funny, but then eliot comes in as her accountant and is forced to just,, change his voice. because she stole it. underrated comedy GOLD

Sleep time.

Realistically, I know Eliot taught Parker and Sophie how to fight (as shown in the hot potato Job and the tap out job) because he knew he might not always be able to protect them and he wanted them to be able to handle themselves in a fight if it ever came down to it.

But actually he just taught them that stuff so that they could beat up Hardison. No other reason.

Let's all appreciate that Nate Ford basically kidnapped stole a field trip.

Valen wearing one of his usual tac vests for a contract like the ones above, just a regular work day for him. Except, from out of one those pockets on said tac vest, he pulls out a perfectly baked potato as a snack. It has all the fixings, wrapped in foil. Along with his extra mags, zip-ties, etc etc he just keeps a snack on hand. His husband made it for him. He loves it. It tides him over until him and his team can go get lunch later

ALL INGO KNOWS IS DESTROY PAST BLOODLINES AND EAT RAW MEAT NOW,,,,,,,,,, emmet is devastated his brother disappears and then comes back like a wild animal. shakes a steak arounds like a dog on all fours and then stands up fixing his hat and coat like " What's up? we need to go make sure the train makes it on time.

Ingo's perfectly professional as always but sometimes ... some depot agents report seeing a cryptic figure with glowing eyes scuttling around the tunnels eating rats with its bare hands

comic writers are in the comic business so you'd assume they've...You know, read comics. but from what I see they don't do that apparently.

The range of Erik's potential diet is once again fascinating me, on the basis of the sheer number of things that can highly inconvenience/kill a human. Obviously there's the chemical/plant/animal poisons that first come to mind—y'know, arsenic, belladonna, the unpleasantness that happens if you try to eat a monarch butterfly, that sort of thing. And I do have fun wondering if Erik's the type of guy to just … snatch some poor, poisonously bright insect off the side of a trunk and pop it in his mouth, as is his due as a Dragon Slayer who are just kinda like that sometimes.

However. The thought of Erik carefully harvesting and making his own wild licorice and monkshood tisanes, making use of a well-loved copper teapot and his treasured, antique tea service painted with lead-based glaze … kicking back with a cordial of pure ethanol, and the cordial is of course made of lead crystal … Meredy wandering over to an unsupervised, brightly-colored cookpot because whatever's in there smells amazing, then suddenly Erik is tackling her away and shouting about the cyanide he just spiced his quail and grass pea soup with, did Oración Seis not tell her to not touch his cadmium-painted cookpots?! Just, Erik being fancy about his poison consumption, because humans sure have figured out a bunch of ways to really inconvenience themselves and he might as well take advantage of their mistakes.

Also, what counts as poisonous enough to use? Humans can intoxicate themselves on too much water. Can Erik use that? There are so many things that are nonlethally, and even unnoticeably, harmful to us, so how trace can a poison be before Erik can't convert it into magic? Carbon monoxide is a notoriously odorless, colorless gas that is very bad for us—can Erik convert a poison he can't perceive? Can he straight-up eat rotten food because it would otherwise be harmful for literally anything else to eat? Relatedly, does this mean he really likes fermented food, because that's essentially rotten food that humans like to eat? I have questions

For the Star Trek Ask game: 5, 16, 17, 20

5. Episode plot you wish they had handled differently?

Retrospect. I get what they were trying to do after listening to the Delta Flyer's episode about it, but it does not work. The messaging is terrible even in a context prior to Me Too. Don't believe victims; they're lying to you. I think there may have been a way to do an episode about false memories without having serious sexual assault undertones.

The other one would be The Fight. I think the concept of chaotic space is interesting, but the episode is just a hot mess of confusion and space boxing. Maybe if the boxing hadn't come out of nowhere, but Chakotay-centric episodes unfortunately tend to be pretty bad.

16. If you could steal the basic plot of an episode for one show and apply to another which would you choose?

A Deep Space Nine Rascals would be hilarious. Can you imagine little Jadzia with the symbiont, simultaneously a tiny girl and an ancient worm? Julian would probably still be an augment, but how long did his brain take to fully adjust to that change? Kira would get some childhood, like Ro did. We could have a pocket Garak! I don't think O'Brien and Sisko would change much, and Keiko's already been through it. I'm not sure if Odo would change or would he just not be able to de-goo? A mini Weyoun? A tinier, eviler Dukat? Hell, de-age the entire station and make them interact.

Actually I want all the crews to have to interact as children for an episode. Every. Single. One. Even TOS. Even Enterprise.

17. What role would you have aboard a starship?

While I would love a cool job like Captain or First Officer or something, no one has ever trusted me with a management role, though I can give a mean speech. Given my professional background, probably somewhere in communications, though I wouldn't be thrilled about it. Honestly, I'd probably be scrubbing plasma conduits and clearing out the holodeck filters.

20. Which piece of technology do you wish existed in reality?

Replicators. I don't remember who said it, (maybe a behind-the-scenes Trek person?), but their explanation was that replicators are ultimately what enables a Star Trek future. If people don't have to worry about their basic needs being met, they are free to do so many other things. A future where everyone is clothed and fed no matter what would be a good one.
