Okay. Do other people dream of being not themselves? I've been known to have dreams where I don't look like me, but I'm still me in the dream logic way. And I've had dreams where I'm a character from a book or a movie or something. But last night I had a dream that I was not me. Then i died in my dream. I existed as a ghost for most of it and then I had to pass on. And at the end I was reborn into the exact same life and literally beginning as a baby who was totally aware of what happened but absolutely knew not to try to tell anyone but also the knowledge that I not only had the option to make different choices but I should and I did. The choices were mostly to be a better human than I was the first time around. And it ended with me as a teen flirting with a Deaf girl who I guess I was mean to during take one of this life and I didn't know ASL which wasn't weird because I'm this dream I guess I never learned. But we were trying to communicate.
You know when you dream you're in the bathroom and you're peeing and then your wake up and realize 'dear me, I'm definitely not in the bathroom' and have to franticly run to the bathroom?
Well I had the opposite of that happen a couple of days ago. I woke up groggy and went to the bathroom. While I was peeing, several times I freaked out and thought I was in bed and had to touch everything around me to convince myself I was awake and actually in the bathroom.

So I absolutely love love LOVE this OT3 The Office Job meta by @readinginthereadyroom.
You should all go check it out right now.
Anyways I've been thinking on this for about a day now and I kinda think... well the thing is.
I don't think they're quite on the same page regarding what their fight is actually about.
The meta linked above is DEFINITELY 100% the argument Hardison is having. Textbook, to the letter, that is what he's arguing about. OP spelled it out so perfectly, that I have very little to add here. Parker having to deal with the rift that causes and the SPECTACULAR analysis of expressing herself through the cards.
But yeah Hardison's whole thing of seeing Eliot The Sandwich being free game now that it's in the fridge. Up for grabs. Him stealing it. Etc.
But that is NOT the argument Eliot is having.
A Communal Fridge is just Not A Thing for him (yet). He's not used to the very idea of it. Hell, even just partnering with other people on this level is still fairly new to him, especially in the light of how long he's been working alone. The very concept of a Communal Fridge escapes him. He doesn't even realize that sharing is on the table.
He's used to, well, "a man makes [read: sets aside for himself] a sandwich and expects it to be there [read: still his, that boundary respected by everyone who knows he's set aside that andwich] later" and "you don't steal another man's sandwich!"
But you see, the problem isn't Hardison stealing the sandwich, it's Eliot seeing his own desire to steal the sandwich reflected in Hardison's actions. He's not arguing with Hardison, he's arguing with himself AT Hardison.
Because he wants to steal the sandwich. He wants to steal Parker The Sandwich from Hardison on one hand, and Hardison The Sandwich from Parker on the other (still seperate in his mind for now - TWO unique transgressions, not just the one) but they're his friends and you don't steal another man's sandwich - in fact, you personally make sure they have enough to eat - so he's trying his best to pretend he's not hungry, not starving... and then Hardison has the gall to go and-
And then
And then "nobody throws Hardison off a roof... except maybe me, haha... no."
Not gonna let anyone hurt him, and that would include stealing Parker The Sandwich... except maybe, if it were me, since we're also so close and kinda also... No. No no no. Bad idea.
Anyways Everyone Is The Sandwich and polyamory is the Communal Fridge that Eliot didn't even know was plugged in yet.
yes yes, I love this concept of eliot's created boundaries that keep him and his desires contained. if he wants a sandwich he has to make it himself--both literally and figuratively. He may want the parker sandwich, but he is not allowed to have it because he respects Hardison. He may want the Hardison sandwich, and may want their bro hugs to last longer, but he respects Parker enough to not take something out from under her. And literally-- he would never take food from either of them, he has crafted his life so that he enjoys cooking for himself and doesn't rely on anyone else to do it for him. He's getting comfortable more and more with giving his food to them voluntarily, to nourish them. that's a new sensation, to, to feed people on purpose.

“Friend? Friend push ball? I push ball. I do good.”
Bees. Smart enough to push a ball, not smart enough to not be fooled by a stick masquerading as a bee.
maybe they know and they’re just being polite
Other dimensional beings are undoubtedly amazed at what human beings will accept as human beings too. “But it’s just a stick with a person on it.”
NEIL WHY. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT.
This turns up on my dashboard. And I read it and am impressed that someone writes exactly the post that I’d write, without actually reading the name of the person who posted it.
And then I’m puzzled at all the Neil Why’s, and realise that this was me in the Wayback Long-ago.
At least I’m consistent.
And, I should point out, we are no closer to being able to spot the extra-dimensional stick “people” who move unobserved among us.
This is one of the greeting cards Parker made for Good Cheer, and you cannot convince me otherwise.
people say will grahams character development was only negative but I disagree like he left the fbi and he irons his shirts now

I love that Leverage really goes out of it’s way to show us that just because you break the ‘rules’, it doesn’t mean you’re breaking the rules. Rules and laws and society are all made up, at the end of the day, and all you really have is your own moral compass and sense of justice; is this just to you? Is it right? Should it be OK for companies to put people in insurmountable debt for the rest of their lives just because our medical care is so expensive in this modern day and age? No law or rule should change what you know in your heart is right and wrong, and I think that’s the key thing that makes someone a good person in my eyes.
