## Biography

### The Love Song of M. Aaron Seaver

Ben Seaver

**Ben Seaver** is a main character in Growing Pains.

## Overview

Ben Seaver is the youngest of the children, (until his little sister comes along), and he is always full of smiles and laughter, and tends to take after his brother, Mike, as he gets older.

## Biography

* Season 1
* Season 2
* Season 3
* Season 4
* Season 5
* Season 6
* Season 7
* Movies

At 9 years old Ben is interested in team sports; ice hockey and football. At Christmas, Ben receives a puppy which he then gives away so he is given another puppy to keep.

As the youngest child, Ben struggles at times over his insecurity over his place in the family, although these are proven to be more perceptions than reality. At one point, he buys an expensive camera for his father's birthday, only for Mike to admit he gave Ben "advice" on how to raise the funds. Jason, however, is more impressed with Ben's originally-intended gift: a crudely-made ashtray resembling the human heart, as Jason has several clients who smoke.
Ben takes an interest in his family's video camera and annoys the family with his film making, his favourite target being Carol.

One of Ben's best friends, Stinky Sullivan, is introduced during this season. Much like Mike's buddies Bone and Eddie, Stinky tends to be scheming but is fun-loving.

Early in the season, Ben becomes a big brother for the first time when his little sister, Chrissy, is born. On the night of his sister's birth, Ben -- who is observing his 12th birthday -- is upset that all the attention is on Maggie being in labour and the new yet-to-be-born baby and walks off. Wandering through the hospital, he meets an elderly hospital patient named Chris, who is on his deathbed. In his final hours, Chris gives Ben a new perspective on the situation and that his new sibling will be looking up to him. Ben comes back, shortly after the baby is born, and it is he who gives Maggie the idea to name the baby "Chris." (The baby is officially named Christine Ellen and the call name Chrissy.) Ben, like Mike and Carol, adores Chrissy and mentors her during her childhood -- and, in the later movies, teen-aged and young adulthood -- years.

Ben has his first school crush, a classmate named Jenny Foster. Ben goes along with Mike in cruelly taunting Carol and her new college-age boyfriend, Sandy, the insults escalating in the episode Second Chance, especially when Sandy is late for his date with Carol. Ben is videotaping Carol's anxiousness and amusing himself until Sandy's friend calls, informing them that Sandy had been seriously injured in a car accident.

Yakur Clan

The **Yakur Clan** is chief among the tribes that migrated into southern Elemnakos after the fall of the Sultanate, and is a family famed for its battle prowess. The few Yakur who survive into the present day have catapulted Cloud Mountain into continental ascendancy.

## History

### Founding

The Yakur Clan hails from the southern Acragas Plains beyond the old Sultanate's border. There, they made their living as hunters, traders, and raiders, as swift as the hawks they kept. Upon the dissolution of the Sultanate and Elemnakos' descent into chaos, they were the first and largest of the tribes to cross the old river border and make their home in the southern mountains.

## Culture

### Tattoos

The Yakur brought with them out of Acragas the custom of heritage tattoos, elaborate tattooed patterns indicating family, deeds, and power. Unlike other tribes in Elemnakos, the Yakur 'sign' their tattoos, including a marking from the parents of the young adult. Sons bear a portion of their father's pattern, and women a portion of their mother's.

Yakur heritage tattoos usually take the form of dark blue, chain-like tattoos over the left arm and shoulder.

### Hawks

The Yakur Clan has always held a close association with hawks, and their infrequent sorcerers often boast an association with the god Korel, Lord of the Unconquered Sky.

### Hair Dye

Yakur warriors, male or female, traditionally dye their hair red as blood, no matter their original hair color. It is a point of pride to maintain the reddish pigment among Yakur.

### Title of ai-Yakur

The title of ai-Yakur, head of the clan, is a hereditary one passed down for generations. It cannot be claimed by multiple people at the same time. If an ai-Yakur disappears or has no successor, a new one cannot be chosen until a witch or warlock capable of piercing the veil contacts the previous ai-Yakur.

## Prominent Members

* Dashiin ai-Yakur
* Serha Yakur
* Tserleter ai-Yakur
Sakasta Clan

The **Sakasta Clan** is an Acragan tribe hailing from beyond the Sultanate's borders, and one of many that fell in line behind Dashiin ai-Yakur at the Summit of Clans.

## Culture

### Tattoos

Whether they are the clan's heritage tattoos or not, the Sakastan retinue appearing at the summit all bear facial tattoos reminiscent of fearsome beasts.
Born Free

**Born Free** is episode 20 of Season 2 of Growing Pains.

## About

* Season 1 - B.J. Thomas (singing solo)
* Seasons 2, 3, 5, part of 7 - B.J. Thomas & Jennifer Warnes
* Season 4 - B.J. Thomas & Dusty Springfield
* Season 6 & part of 7 - Joe Chemay, Jim Haas, Jon Joyce and George Merrill (singing a capella)

## Trivia

There were nine versions of the theme song used; others included a Halloween-themed version not sung by B.J. Thomas or Jennifer Warnes used in a two-part Halloween episode in 1990. A shorter version of the Thomas/Warnes version was used starting in season five.

There was also an a cappella version of the song which was used for all of season six, but this version was abandoned for most of season seven in favor of the reinstatement of Thomas' and Warnes' duet version, although the a cappella theme returned for three episodes as well as the series finale. A full-length version by Thomas and Springfield was released as a single in 1988.

## Lyrics

Show me that smile again
Oh, show me that smile
Don't waste another minute on your cryin'
We're nowhere near the end
We're nowhere near
The best is ready to begin

All in a cloudy daze
I look into your eyes and see them shining out
Holding you close this way
Holding you this way
Is like having summer everyday Ooh, ooh

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me - We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'
As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine - All the time
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love

Promise me here and now
Nothing but jokes
Will never come between us
You can depend on me
'Cause I need you like the air I breathe Oh, oh

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me - We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'
As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine - All the time
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me - We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'
As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Oh, baby, rain or shine - All the time
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love
