“…never wanna leave”, “…pop up uninvited”, “I’m coming over…” and “I left my tshirt…”

S!mone’s “Short Notice”, it was written for Avanine (AvJaRy too) for this episode! Ava is absolutely “coming over” again, for that left-on-purpose sweater.

Sahadev: Some people just hate each other, and that's fine.

Nakul: That's right, I don't like Yudhishtir and it's going great.

Bheem: I'm a pacifist. You mess with me, Imma pass a fist in your face.

When I was growing up, my mom used to randomly make me brownies that had black beans and spinach so I was none the wiser about getting healthy stuff in my treats.

Mihawk does the same to the boys who, despite having some very advanced sensors and observation haki, never seem to pick up on all the secret fiber, calcium, and Vitamin A and C they were getting.

You know who else is obliviously receiving those healthy bars of deliciousness? Buggy.

I’d like to think he started doing this due to Zoro and Perona's absolutely atrocious diets just alcohol for the former and just jelly sandwiches for the latter. By the time the boys come into his life he’s a pro! He'll slip into the kitchen undetected and slip copious amounts healthy vitamins and minerals for his growing kids (and also Buggy). The kids all coming flying when the heavenly smell of chocolate fills the air and practically bouncing all the walls with excitement!

“Papa did you make us brownies?!?”

“Indeed I did, they are still cooling but will be fit for consumption soon. Let us all go wash up in preparation.”

Gabe and Gryphon race each other to the sink and playfully splash water on each other before properly committing to the task. The atmosphere was light and peaceful a not so distant comedic yelp cut through it.

“YEOWCH!”

They head back to the kitchen to see roughly a third of the brownie pan being juggled in two disembodied hands as Buggy is painfully making his way through another, steam leaks out from his mouth, nose and ears before he swallows relieved and happy. The happiness is short lived as his eyes meet the offended faces of his kids and partner.

*gasp* “DADDY'S STEALING OUR BROWNIES!” >:O

“This isn’t theft! This issssss a lesson! Yes, a lesson on why good pirates don’t leave their treasure unattended!”

The frowns and pouts don’t leave the boys faces and the clown confessed to his egregious crimes with sobbing apologies.

His punishment? Sitting in the corner watching everyone else enjoying the sweets while the Shame Bell is being rung in his ears.

Let me go watch the new season of Abbott before tumblr ruins it with all these spoilers!!

[cdyssey]

Wait, let me be serious about this and stop dragging you in the GC.

Manifesting S7 Scheoward sitting in their living room on their sagging, well-loved couch, side-by-side-by-loving-side. They’re watching some stupid movie from the nineties that Barbara picked, and it’s so goddamn corny as most nineties movies are. Melissa and Gerald tease her lightly because that’s just what they do. That’s how they show their love. And Barbara only ever pretends to be offended because that’s how she says I love you back.

They share a bowl of popcorn.

Gerald’s in charge of pouring them all wine.

Barbara curls into Gerald, and she rests a hand on Melissa’s warm thigh.

It’s nice, this little life they’ve carved out for themselves.

It’s home.

"[M]ost often the figure representing the impersonal logic of protocol is Andy’s deputy, Barney Fife. Played by the immensely talented Don Knotts, Barney is both the comedic relief and bureaucratic foil to Andy’s localism. Running gags are built upon Barney’s trigger-happy nervousness and open love of the Law, with all its binding rules and jargon. He often urges Andy to modernize, to embrace the latest crime-fighting methods and gadgets. Barney’s flaw — and what makes him hilarious — is that he tries too hard to be a serious police officer in a rural town untouched by hard crime. He quotes legal codes to Andy, who either doesn’t know or has forgotten them. Andy doesn’t need to remember the technical name for a minor offense. He understands that townspeople, not codes, are the governing factor, even if that logic sometimes backfires on him.

Watching this show as an older viewer, I came to realize that Andy and Barney symbolize two competing ways of life that struggled against one another in the 20th century and continue to do so today.

...

Though Andy exhibits strength and virtue, he is not hotheaded. Nor is he the brawny hero that busts in at the last minute with guns blazing to vanquish the villain, who almost pulls off the caper. It may take him until the last minute to carry out his plan, but he does not represent the kind of heroic machismo so prevalent in superhero films today. More often than not Andy fights with his mind, inasmuch as he fights at all. He is strong in a silent way, a stoic fortitude without the sturm und drang of Brando or the social Darwinism of late-career John Wayne. Barney, on the other hand, is loud and quick to flashes of emotion. His wiry frame and nervous energy make him a wreck of a deputy, and it’s hilarious to watch him and Andy at odds, however low the stakes. Barney is a ludicrous figure, a clown, blissfully unaware of his arrogance, insecure and egotistical, and desirous of the kind of rules designed to control situations without thought. He exemplifies the neoliberal manager, the one that assumed control in the late 20th century. And though this figure was initially lampooned in American media, it came to be accepted as the only one to rule over a complex world.

¤ When several American television networks dropped most of the country-themed programming in the early 1970s — a move referred to as the “rural purge” — the likelihood that another Andy Taylor or Mayberry might be seen on TV was slimmed. In an attempt to market to suburban and urban audiences, major television networks mostly forgot about aging and rural populations. Suddenly there were fewer shows reflecting their lives. The kneejerk reaction is to consider rural audiences and their shows hillbilly, retrograde, simple-minded, or even racist. But it would also be callous to ignore other audiences altogether just to have around-the-clock Westerns and episodes of Red Skelton. I began to wonder what my parents would have watched without reruns of The Andy Griffith Show. Could it be, like some have said, that people enjoy the series because it presents a whitewashed utopia, a conservative paradise before Soul Train, MTV, and BET? In her article “Remembering Mayberry in White and Black,” memory studies scholar Kathleen McElroy writes about African Americans like herself who identify with The Andy Griffith Show even though only one episode in the entire series features a black actor with a speaking part (“a Chopin-playing football coach in Season 7,” McElroy notes). She cites several black writers who watch the series because it reflects their own experiences living in the rural South and who were not alienated by the paucity of black cast members. But even though some African-American viewers like McElroy conjure these “extra-memories,” as she calls them, to “complement […] Mayberry’s narrative,” what about the white viewers who voted for Donald Trump because they believed him to be a white, wealthy savior who could return the country to the conservative 1950s — in other words, to a time before civil rights? Why should anyone have to fill in the gaps of a television series with extra-memories to enjoy it? A site of both memory and oblivion, The Andy Griffith Show can be pleasing to some and uncomfortable to others. It’s a show that some might enjoy because it presents a white utopia and one that others can identify with because of its themes of doing good, serving communities, and reducing one’s ego. And viewers like McElroy and the writers she cites in her essay manage this tension by conjuring extra-memories to account for the erasure. It is possible that some people see in Donald Trump’s nativist message a return to Mayberry. But those who may suppose that miss the entire point of the series and equally misunderstand the philosophy of the character Andy Taylor. Writing for The Awl, Shani O. Hilton mentions that Griffith was often called “white trash” as a kid. When he created his series, Griffith didn’t “take a crack at edgier storylines involving race or gender,” which other series of the time did and usually failed offensively. Instead, he crafted a show about life in a small, working-class town where a given day’s itinerary might include little more than napping and watching the evening’s program on television. Mayberry is obviously utopian and overwhelmingly white, but Sheriff Andy Taylor not only believes society can always be made better but also understands no social project grand or local could usher in some kind of everlasting peace. The best you could do in Mayberry is good enough, and doing good is a daily job."

has anyone ever actually gotten caught up in the moment or is that just something people say to avoid feelings
