CR meme for Larry!
swoleregard
slightly belated bc I went off to make icons from The Sinner after all, idk, I like this look for him
yallternative
pls name his cafe The Creamery
"Coldstone Creamery (NO RELATION)"
yallternative
in a fierce legal battle
swoleregard
LMAO
Dick Whinnyman
Stone cold creamery
swoleregard
HAHAHA
swoleregard
okay THAT ASIDE
swoleregard
I figure most of the actual breach will be dedicated to reconciliation plots with Archer and Shen Wei so maybe the CR meme is a good place to fill in the Rags backstory shenanigans?
swoleregard
swoleregard
well, I guess family backstory things in general. this is family: THE BREACH lol
Kota
YESSSS
Kota
I am always down for this
Jay
yessssss, I will be all over this once I'm done with my workout in a bit
swoleregard
rarity sounds good! I'll put up a post for the shop
Kota
How do you feel about doing like...the phone call with Larry and Godric that brings Godric home?
swoleregard
I'm down but ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆 let's hash out the Archer stuff first? like, what did he actually tell the kids to get them to come back to the old homestead? (or did he just tell Larry and ask him to ask the others?)
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
He told Larry and asked him to get the others to come back
swoleregard
GREAT, DAD, THANKS. what reason did he give him?
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
He has something important to talk to them about :|
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
He’ll tell Larry about the will thing but will be like U CANT TELL THE OTHERS THO
swoleregard
lol oh fuck THAT
swoleregard
(we can also actually thread this if you want to -- or whatever else! I just wanted to get the basics so Larry can call Godric and... 𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 where's Callisto at rn)
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
Lmfao I was actually wondering if I should make it extra dramatic like GRUMPY OLD MAN SICK WITH TERMINAL ILLNESS ATTEMPTS POORLY TO MAKE AMENDS
swoleregard
HAHAHA I mean this is a Hallmark
swoleregard
probably if he says he's dying it will change the tenor of the conversation lmao
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
Riding the tropes pretty hard here
swoleregard
Kota while we sketch this out have a VERY UPSET DAD :<<<< (lmk if anything needs changed there but I left it pretty vague)
Kota
NOPE. Looks great! C:
swoleregard
whatever happens in this scene and on the drive home just imagine that he spends the rest of the day STARING INTO THE MIDDLE DISTANCE
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
sorry I haven't been able to read everything yet - where's this phone call on the timeline
swoleregard
this is the call that brings Godric and Callisto back to reconcile with their dad (in theory)
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
yes but how far pre-Breach?
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
before Larry's accident? after?
swoleregard
way after, this is like... right before the Breach
swoleregard
however far before it needs to happen for Callisto to be in town at Breach start
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
oh okay i was already planning for Callisto to have been around for a little bit pre-Breach, so this would be less to get her back in geographic range and more emotional range
swoleregard
okay, perfect
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
she's working very hard at her mother's failing store X-(
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
she doesn't have time for the man who let it get this bad in the first place X-(
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
...she does have time for Larry tho
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
...i should plot things with Archer lol
swoleregard
also Jay whenever you're around, wanna do the other side of this scene lmao
swoleregard
side note I ended up finding a WEALTH of usable screencaps from The Sinner after all, so now I'm just making icons as the need for them arises (lol "what face would he be making in this tag") -- but, like, Matt Bomer's character in this is intensely fucked up, and for some reason I'm getting the biggest kick out of recontextualizing these shots
swoleregard
from 'man struggling with extremely dark urges, feeling the walls closing in' to 'worried Pleasantville dad :-( '
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
lol bomer
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
is Callisto younger or older than the boys
swoleregard
Larry's the oldest, that's all I know
Kota
Is Callisto still half sister? If so, Godric and Larry are full brothers and that would probably put Godric in the middle and Callisto as the youngest
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
sounds good to me
𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝ℝ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖
keeping the half sister angle so she doesn't have the conflict with the boys over the business
Jay
Oh yes, I absolutely do, and Papa will be there asap
Jay
you want me to tag in to Larry there at phone-callish time and/or do a late-arriving after catching the absolute first flight thread?
swoleregard
yessss
Kota
yessssss
Jay
thoughts on time of day for call? Just to know what he's walking away from w/o hesitation
swoleregard
I'd say like late afternoon-ish?
Jay
danke!
swoleregard
Jay ...also, dumb question: is Shen Wei a surname+given name, or is that all his given name?
BethampHATamine
Full permission for T to be responsible for Rags being in jail.
Jay
swoleregard : damn... good question. It's normally surname + given, but here... might go for all given, b/c I have NO idea what else to change it to, and Danii and I decided that they still have their very ethnic names b/c their parents were one chinese and one japanese and split the naming culturally.... (their siblings now, instead of cousins)
Jay
lol... now I kind of want to give him an Americanized name, too, b/c of his age, that he hasn't used since HS. Maybe Sean or something XD
Jay
so yeah, Shen Wei is his given name, no clue about surname
swoleregard
haha I was gonna say, can Larry call him Shen
Jay
yes, absolutely
swoleregard
(NOT SEAN. Shen. :| he's very specific about the pronunciation)
anstaar
Because it makes me laugh, would you be up for a cr thread where quill just shows up to wave her hands about William getting married? (She's sensitive to larry's relationship issues but sometimes something must be said)
Jay
b/c Wei would just sound awkward by itself, even if it's technically his given name in canon (not that any of it's really his name, since he has no clue what his name actually was... so he got saddled with Mountain God/Spirit XD)
swoleregard
anstaar omg hahaha yes
swoleregard
Kota what did he actually do, throw a rock?
Kota
Yeah, I figured they were messing around and throwing things, trying to hit stuff, and accidentally threw a rock through a window
Kota
*Trying to hit stuff that no one really cares about
Jay
Also, Shen is grateful for how smoothly he transitioned from Sean to Shen when he decided fuck this 'Americanization' nonsense
Dick Whinnyman
For the record Williams reaction to any doubts quill expressed about his marriage was "hahahah she's so funny"
anstaar
she didn't say it to him!!! (well tried very hard not to. there were moments when she went a little hard on 'haha this is so nice are u really sure there's still time haha)
Dick Whinnyman
HAHAHAHA
Dick Whinnyman
He's in love, life is ✨ great ✨
swoleregard
OH WAIT I THINK I FUCKED UP THE TIMELINE
swoleregard
Kota would this have been before or after the accident?
Kota
It can be either one!! whichever does not fuck up the timeline!
Kota
He'd been escalating before the accident, so it's likely he could have gotten in trouble before and he DEFINITELY was getting in trouble after
Kota
the only reprieve from his nonsense was when Larry was first recovering. Rags would have been good for a littoe while
Kota
*little
swoleregard
okay let's just pretend I wrote, what, 13 or 14? instead of 16
swoleregard
and the rest is fine
swoleregard
lmao fuckin rags, sees that CHAOS AND CATASTROPHE brings his parents together and ENDEAVORS TO CAUSE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Kota
THIS IS PERFECTLY LOGICAL
Kota
And 14 works for me!
Dick Whinnyman
Hallmark's Adrian veidt
Jay
LOL, it absolutely is XD
swoleregard
you know Larry is a parent because he keeps his swearing to his inner monologue
swoleregard
(although lmao now that I'm an adult my dad swears like a fuckin sailor around me)
Kota
ahahaha, I have that inner swearing monologue as a parent but my mom and I definitely swear back and forth now that I'm a grown person.
jenn
ALSO re: Larry and Ezio conflict... how would Larry feel about Ezio getting flippantly involved with the NPC barista, the barista having some sort of pregnancy scare, and Ezio getting cold feet and basically being like "i'll pay whatever you need but I'm not ready for commitment" and largely ghosting her.
swoleregard
daaaamn, Ezio, that's cold
Dick Whinnyman
AHAH and how would larry describe this to william/how much detail would he go into
Dick Whinnyman
(so william can YELL AT EZIO ABOUT IT)
jenn
SLKDFJSDF RIGHT.... mean......... (he thinks he's doing the best he can willing to pay up whatever's necessary but........ mean)
swoleregard
oh I think he'd tell him the entire damn thing, at volume
Dick Whinnyman
cursed with this knowledge
swoleregard
lmfao back on the Barge Larry is just like
swoleregard
JUDGING U
Dick Whinnyman
STILL CURSED WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE
swoleregard
and he thought he was a two-timing shit
jenn
Your choice: did she have the baby or was it just a scare
swoleregard
AT LEAST HE TRIED TO RAISE HIS CHILDREN
Dick Whinnyman
"at least you threw money at her yourself and didn't make me do it..."
swoleregard
I'm cool with it being a scare but real Larry will hold this over real Ezio's head anyway bc lollllllllllll
swoleregard
just texts him at random like hey I just had a breach memory and it was that time Lucy (let's say her name is Lucy) called me CRYING
jenn
That’s fine, I like consequences
swoleregard
what's up w/ u
jenn
Added ugly bonus: Ezio is 47 currently and if it wasn’t a longass time ago he was absolutely old enough to know better
jenn
HAHAHAHA
jenn
(Crying laughing bc Lucy is a major character in Ezio’s games)
Dick Whinnyman
AHHAHA I kinda wish they'd been temped after this
swoleregard
Larry still has many weird and conflicting feelings about breaches but this one will definitely be easier to deal with than the last one was and a lot easier to joke about
swoleregard
and he's spent this entire month being g e n t l y tortured by Ezio so that seems like fun retribution :-)
jenn
The last week of temping will be a riot
swoleregard
(LOL oops, I just picked it bc there's a very tertiary DP character named Lucy Fugue... we can change it if you'd rather!)
Dick Whinnyman
judged by william and larry, paragons of virtue
jenn
I’m into it, Ezio has never been shamed in his life. I don’t know that anyone other than Machiavelli has ever even criticized him for his love life choices. No woman has ever tracked him down with complaints. He will actually be surprised lmao.
swoleregard
tbh I'm getting a kick out of them... disaster isn't necessarily a BAD thing....
jenn
Lucy’s fine, Ezio doesn’t actually meet her! Lucy Fugue it is 😎
jenn
(Mom shaming doesn’t count)
jenn
It’s great! And it’s kinda low stakes disaster? It’s not like they grievously wounded each other or made it deeply personal. They just don’t mesh in a way that is still fun to play with.
jenn
I like it.
swoleregard
I feel like OVER TIME they could grow into a thing that works, if you'd be up for exploring that
swoleregard
God knows Larry's usual mood is "I guess we're doing this now" for everything short of, like... evil government mad science...
jenn
Absolutely! I’d like to see where they go
swoleregard
YES awesome <:
swoleregard
anstaar remind me when this is taking place?
anstaar
uh, think it's just a few years ago before but i'll double check
anstaar
probably around four years pre-breach
swoleregard
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆 just confirming: is Archer actually sick/dying or just revising his will?
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
As long as everyone is fine with EXTRA DRAMA ... yes, actually sick
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
Not so sick he can’t do things but you know
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
It could go there
swoleregard
maybe the extra drama will help Larry convince Godric
Kota
EXTRA DRAMA
swoleregard
Larry, texting Shen Wei updates on the Rags situation, has most definitely written and erased the words "OUR CHILD IS BEING AN ASSHOLE" multiple times
Kota
HE'S NOT WRONG
swoleregard
by breach present time he's given up on stifling himself and has now turned it into an acronym
Kota
Rags loves them a lot. :C
swoleregard
he adores his son
swoleregard
he would jump in front of a moving train for him
Kota
But also....Rags is an asshole
swoleregard
Jay
lol
Jay
best son, even if he's an asshole
Kota
I imagine that when it's just the three of them, he's perfectly fine. No asshole. Perfectly happy. LET'S DO THIS FOREVER, DADS!
Jay
awwwww
swoleregard
I had such tag ambitions today and then didn't even clear my inbox X-( alas, tomorrow is another day
Jay
swoleregard : I know this feeling, I have high hopes for tomorrow, though
pharadyne
Me too. I think I managed...3 tags.
Jay
I've done none yet, but... I have some open, I'm going to manage!
Jay
at least a couple
