Zelena: ‘What about forgiveness? What about redemption? I mean you’ve been forgiven. You’ve grown, you’ve changed.’

Regina: “You’re not me. I can never forgive you”

Regina actually believes she’s the only one who gets a total free pass for everything but won’t give the same courtesy to anyone else.

Didn’t Zelena kill her true love Hades just to save Regina???

I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.

Don’t get starry-eyed about somebody you can’t have, especially if it blinds you to somebody who’s really important.

Shinsuke Nakamura and Tyler Breeze had a match that was so delightfully absurd and great all at the same time, including spots such as…

Nakamura yells “C’MON!” at Breeze. Breeze yells “C’MON!” back at Nakamura. They trade C’MON!’s back and forth for about a minute until the ref gets their attention and tells them to C’MON and fight.

Nakamura tries to emulate Tyler’s top-rope pose, fails, then settles for posing on the mat.

Breeze later tries copying Nakamura’s spotlight pose, but finds that he can’t quite bend backwards far enough. Nakamura gets on his hands and knees, offering himself as a support bench for Tyler to properly arch backwards. Nakamura raises Tyler’s hand afterwards to congratulate him.

Nakamura steals Tyler’s selfie stick and checks himself out on the video board.

Tyler brings a chair into the ring to use as a weapon. The ref gets distracted for a moment, and Tyler throws the chair at Nakamura’s feet and then flops on the mat. The referee assumes Nakamura used the chair, but Shinsuke pleads his case and the match is allowed to continue. Nakamura, not wanting to let a perfectly good chair go to waste, unfolds it and sits down on it in the middle of the ring, drawing perhaps the loudest “This is awesome” chant of the evening.

I want this on my TV.

my grandparents have to lock their car doors when they go to sunday mass because people have been breaking in to unlocked cars and leaving entire piles of zucchini

falsedetective

i feel like i should’ve added more context when i posted this. my grandparents live in a rural area where farmers and casual gardeners alike are, at this point in the year, suddenly being hit with unexpectedly abundant zucchini crops. there aren’t just some random vandals leaving zucchinis in people’s cars for the hell of it, this is the work of some very exasperated, probably very elderly, folks who have more zucchini than they know what to do with

thegreenwolf

Yep. You can also expect to find a bag of zucchini on your porch.

My grandfather once found his neighbor stealing his tomatoes out of his garden at three in the morning. Red-handed, with a basket of the nearly-ripened ones. He thought he was going to find gophers or something, but no, here’s Henry, taking his tomatoes. The best ones.

There was a long pause between them.

My grandfather (allegedly) said, “Henry… it’s OK. You can take some tomatoes if you want them.”

Henry sighed in relief.

“But,” my grandfather said, “you have to take two zucchini for every tomato.”

There was another long silence. “That’s a harsh bargain, John,” said Henry. “But I accept. I’ll tell Joe up the street, too.”

My grandfather said, “Tell Joe he needs to take three.”

a friend of my dad’s came by in the middle of the night, he seemed very nervous when my dad answered the door. he wouldn’t come inside but he leaned in and whispered to my dad in spanish, “i have some fresh grapes for you.” and then this happened:

the melon was a special bonus.

MY DREAM

dragoneyes

A friend of mine lives in a rural area and he has been surrounded by zucchini for most of May, June, and July.

At one point he was so done with the whole zucchini madness that he came to classes actively begging people to “Please please please!! Take some my family’s damned zucchini!! I’ve been eating zucchini for weeks!! I’m going insane!!!”

Having grown up in a rural area and having come home to zucchini on the front step or in the mailbox, i find it highly amusing the OP had to clarify. I’m sitting here nodding “yup.”

Damn it…I want nice people to grow stuff around me! The only neighbors who grow anything around here won’t share.

We used to have one zucchini plant in our backyard (ONE) and we were constantly giving zucchini away because the three of us couldn’t keep up with what it produced. I was taking them in to work, my husband was taking them to my in laws, I gave them to neighbors. They just kept coming.

obsessivereaderandwriter

I’m jealous! I absolutely love zucchini, but I hardly ever get it. Can’t grow anything where we live, either, we just have a tiny little patio area.

Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know.

It’s been two weeks since I moved house and I officially have a desk again! I was definitely way too picky and struggled to find what I wanted within my budget but I’m so glad I finally have somewhere to work! Now time to get to work on all those essays! 😊
