#look at the big brain on this guy#but no seriously: look at it. stare.#THIS DUDE IS A GENIUS OKAY. HE IS. A GENIUS.#and yeah it’s not hardison’s brand of genius which can build and create#and write code to do impossible things and remember everything it’s ever read#and it’s not parker’s brand of genius that can break down any situation into its composite parts#and read how all those parts fit together; can work with and against each other; can be used to their advantage#BUT IT’S GENIUS ALL THE SAME#what you’re talking about with eliot is essentially an eidetic memory for visuals and sounds#WHICH IS SUCH A LIKE. RARE AND FUCKING INCREDIBLE jsdfhskdjfhk okay okay i’m going to try not to fall to pieces and/or scream so#just#eliot is the hitter and he’s damn good at what he does but don’t ever forget#that he purposefully plays himself down because being underestimated gives him an advantage#that what you’re actually looking at here is a brilliant guy who’s only just now starting to recognize he may have outlived his death wish#and that someday a few years down the line when parker and hardison force him (and they will have to force him)#to stop throwing himself in front of fists and knives and bullets for them#because his spirit will always be willing but his body has stopped showing up for that party#he will be just as gifted – just as useful – just as integral to what the three of them do together on and off the grift#HE MIGHT NOT KNOW THAT#BUT YOU HAD BETTER.#thief juice: it’s a mouth crime (via gyzym) -- source link
