Re: the leverage tipping "discourse", here's my thoughts on the characters' tipping behavior--

Nate: tips 15%

Sophie: tips well as herself but if her persona for a con wouldn't she doesn't

Eliot: always tips well and leaves a note sometimes

Parker: 50/50 if she remembers to tip, but when she does she will leave a vaguely suspicious roll of cash. She gets better at remembering as she gets more exposure to the service industry

Hardison: my man doesn't tip *in cash*. He doesn't have a wallet, and his phone is plenty to let him divert company funds into giving the employees a raise. It's the age of the geek, baby, and that means ensuring a living wage long-term and making up for the assholes who inevitably won't tip at all. He's still gonna rile up Nate and Eliot given the opportunity though

i feel like im in a weird demographic when it comes to the percy jackson live action series because of the age i was when i read them. cause i read the lightning thief for the first time when i was in single digits, so percy being twelve seemed appropriately grown up. and then as i got further into the series and into heroes of olympus, percy got older with me, and was always kinda broadly my age or a little older. so like, the movie cast was too old when that happened, because they were way older than me. but now the series cast is actual twelve year olds (or so) and they are so obviously just little babies that im now forced to confront the fact that uhhh percy was in fact a fuckin child when all this started??? exCUSE ME???

Behold. My new favorite reaction image.

Nobody can resist a boop button!

english's pronunciation rules are absolute bullshit poopoo made up crap but one of my favorite side effects of this in written english specifically is like. altering the spelling of a word in such a way that it's technically pronounced the same. but reads very differently when your eyes go over it in written form. and that sort of dissonance between the proper spelling and the altered spelling producing the same basic sounds in your brain creates an unprecedented level of comedy.
