LW would be SUCH a bad parent. She'd either completely avoid birthdays: "They don't need to know they have a birthday! What birthday? When's your- oh, uh....tomorrow. Sure."
Or go completely overboard and not even care. "We have five birthdays a year. One is real; the other four involve trips to Burger King and Toys 'R' Us when I just want her to SHUT THE HELL UP."
HI! Lol she'd just. Y'know, I'd never really thought about how Alexis would be with kids, Off the bat, I want to say she hates them, and I know I've said she doesn't discriminate between men, women, or children in her violence.
She loves chaos and pleasure, and that's what kids like - but she likes to be in control, too, which I why I imagine she wouldn't do well with kids for a long time.
Like if she purposely handed out cases of whistles and noisemakers to a bunch of kids at a birthday party, standing at the center of a hoard of honking children, knowing SHE caused this, SHE'S in control, SHE gave these kids instruments of chaos and their parents are going to suffer for it - she'd relish that.
I can't even imagine that relationship in her teens. She'd probably run away. Alexis might also run away. They might run into each other running away. "... What're you doing?" ".........WELL WHAT'RE YOU DOING YOUNG LADY?"
"Back exit's mine, you get to use the grappling hook you got for your birthday." "/grumble Most 16 year olds get a car." "You'll get a car when you steal one like everybody else!"
If there were a Darkwing, I can see him being flabbergasted and frustrated. "Wh- There's TWO of you now?! That's it, my insurance doesn't cover this." Hammer: I have the BIGLIEST insurance!
Some snooty mom: Don't you think it's inappropriate to give other people's children toys like that? LW: I think your face is inappropriate. SSM: I'm sorry??? LW: yeah you should be.
There's this one child who is an absolute steamroller, and if I weren't being paid to make sure they don't fight, I'd be all over the baby gladiatorial battles.
Remember the steamroller child? She doesn't just fight back when another child takes her toy or blocks her way to the slide. She also acts totally unprovoked.
Whose FACE she also later tripped over! Not his head! His face! Her brand new, hard little kitty cat boot sank itself right in his cheek and she went down over him.
The other one is the youngest and, unlike everyone else, can say a few words, knows where everything goes and needs to put it there, directs other children (tries to pull their chairs to the table, lead them up stairs, PUT THEIR SHOES ON THEIR FEET), and just. KNOWS. She's creepily mature for a pre-toddler.
Oh. My gosh. How would crime work? Find a sitter? (lol poor Moist would get stuck with that I'm sure) Tag team when Moist finally gets fed up and taps out because fuck you guys this isn't evildoer daycare? TAKE HER WITH?
Chelsea having powers would be fun, especially since she'd be so young, she couldn't really control themmmm. See these two getting their asses handed to them and can you even imagine being saved by a baby having a temper tantrum omg
If it were LW instead, I can see her being caught by surprise for a single beat before screaming and hurling the child at whatever unlucky hero is in front of her and then running away.
It's another Big One. Mom and Mary left on Sunday and I was staying two weeks behind to get that extra income (e_e) and because I have less than zero percent interest in the South, especially in the summer. I'll fly out to join them in New Orleans, which yeah...still the south, but mansions.
I think we're skipping Big Bend, which is a shame, but maybe next time. It's near White Sands, which I've always wanted to see, but the missile range is closed to the public so but two days out of the year. So the best time would be around one of those two days.
Coyote Gulch would be nice, someone posted a picture of a natural bridge in a desert group I'm in, buttttttt it's a 7mi hike to the site, so that's more of a backpacking trip we're not prepared for.
Lol yes! When I saw the movie, I had no idea that it was miles and miles of gypsum dunes and the test site for the first nuclear bomb. I've been wanting to see it ever since, but even with base access, the site is closed off.
Death Valley maybe? Which....is a less than stellar idea in the summer. Hottest place on earth, and all. But we're not camping or hiking or even taking the trailer in. We're just driving in, maybe going through the Artist's Palette area, maybe look at Badwater Basin, and back out.
But that's still quite a ways away. I found a cheap refurbished chromebook for about $100 to take when I fly out so I can keep up with my nerd friends. :>
In the meantime, I dunno. Tidying. Watering. Writing. Signing up for dogsitting. Thinking up ways that a toddler could make things go hilariously wrong. Or right. XD
I have no idea if there's going to be a check out process when my official last day comes around. Like if someone's going to request my CAC. They didn't last time and I was wandering around with an active base access card for months, which......security concern much?
I am, I'm sorry I let them slide. I admit, some of it is me feeling a little weird trying to write off stuff you already have SO much headcanon or old backlog for
And I have to admit I was really surprised at how fast and how perfectly you got the chemistry. With that in mind, I'm okay starting fresh if it helps you feel comfortable. I absolutely do not want fun things to not be fun and comfortable for everyone involved.
I gotta admit, I would really love a shot at Immediate-post-blog Billy trying to be tough and just ... projecting all his grief and his anger at himself onto this skinny shitheel
I absolutely love your writing and was amazed at how perfect the chemistry felt even though it was from a totally different perspective, so I'm confident that they'll get there again. And yes! I would LOVE seeing more of his evolution right after he gets in!
Also if Moist ever told Pink Pummeler and PP told Bait & Switch and Switch told Fury Leika and Fury told Alexis that Billy used to have this giant crush on a girl he never really talked to but just sort of crept on at the laundromat ....
Agh, I missed the thing about the transcripts! Have fun with those! 💙 In the meantime, guess what. Tiffany legit came over for cookies after I posted that I have cookie dough. Wishing you were here, too!
It was fun! She brought her 3yo daughter and we played Sleeping Queens three times. Remarkably, we each won once. But damn, I was shocked at how THOROUGHLY the child won. She cleaned up, dude.
ROTFL dude. That reminds me, I thought that Mia (the 3yo) had used her last defensive card - oh wait, let me preface this by saying.....she loves the rainbow queen card. So when her mom got it, she begged and begged and BEGGED to trade for it. She even started to cry. So Tiffany traded with her, and Mia IMMEDIATELY backstabbed her mother by...
...taking another queen with her turn. (Now that I think about that, it's another brilliant Chelsea move. I feel like that cold would be very all-or-nothing.) SO. I try to steal the rainbow queen from Mia and she thwarts me. TWICE.
I thought the second time, she was out of defensive cards, and I was all smug and slapping down a gimme-that-queen card when she defended again and I legit threw a fit.
HEY, I don't know if you've had any thoughts or preferences about how you want the new starter to go, but if not, there's always the semi-annual BBQ that I threw together for an app. She walks up to him in plain clothes, gives this dead eyed elevator stare and asKS HOW HE LIKES THE KOOL AID lol
Big 10-4! She will definitely be asking him that at some point, though. XD Which is great bc he's the one all "u sheeple drinking the kool aid" in the blog
I can see him just so much more intensely cynical afterward, too, like "You're all drunk on kool aid, and now it's me! I'M THE KOOL AID. DRINK UP, TOADS."
AAHHHH ha ha, back when I had LW inventing a new horrible thing every week, this would have been top of the list. Now, it's so something that would get donated to schools by the shipping create.
"We have five birthdays a year. One is real; the other four involve trips to Burger King and Toys 'R' Us when I just want her to SHUT THE HELL UP."
LW would let a five year old smoke.
"... What're you doing?"
".........WELL WHAT'RE YOU DOING YOUNG LADY?"
"/grumble Most 16 year olds get a car."
"You'll get a car when you steal one like everybody else!"
Billy: Five more minutes...
Moist: DOC THEY ARE BOTH GONE.
Billy: prob'ly just in jail again.
"Wh- There's TWO of you now?! That's it, my insurance doesn't cover this."
Hammer: I have the BIGLIEST insurance!
Some snooty mom: Don't you think it's inappropriate to give other people's children toys like that?
LW: I think your face is inappropriate.
SSM: I'm sorry???
LW: yeah you should be.
Welp, I've got a thing, but good luck!
LOL thank you, I adore thought experiments for comedy.
LW: Thank you, honey.
Chelsea: lol you smell BAD!
LW: Thank you, honey.
/goes into the bathroom
......
/comes out of the bathroom
/holds arms out
What the fuck is this.
LW: SUCK MY DICK
Doc: why are you like this
Say hello to-
/oops, it's a toddler
and he can't vocally agree with her like he wants toAlexis:
Billy: HEY, FANCY MEETING YOU HERE, who's thiiiiisssssss?
AAHHHH ha ha, back when I had LW inventing a new horrible thing every week, this would have been top of the list. Now, it's so something that would get donated to schools by the shipping create.
