WMG: Calvin and Hobbes posted:

Calvin is Rosalyn's kid.

Rosalyn got pregnant in high school, and gave her baby up for adoption so she could continue her pursuit of education. But she still cares about him so she keeps babysitting him (come on, would anybody but a mother look after that child?). Also, Calvin has an Oedipus complex, hence Suzie.

I think at some point she's established to be 16.

She's established as a "high school senior" in the Torpedo Tube story arc

Of course, she's evil, (which is where Calvin gets it from) which explains first, why she keeps charging ridiculous amounts of money to babysit, and second why Calvin fears her enough to treat her like his real mom. Of course, since they're both beings of evil they understand each other to an extent, leading up to when Rosalyn spent a touching night bonding with Calvin over a game of Calvinball (much to his fosterparent's disbelief; remember, they don't know who his mom is).

Who's the father? Why, Hobbes of course. Rosalyn's into furries. And Hobbes' aiding and abbeting of Calvin's mischief is probably why Rosalyn is now dating Chuck.

* Agreed. The first two paragraphs are solid, the third is just guesswork (though, I suppose it is plausible).

How exactly does predestination work? Is it "yeah you're going to hell even if you're Mr. Rogers because God said so" or is it "You're going to hell and God has planned out your life so you WILL end up deserving it"? Because if it's the latter, I think I know where tropers are predestined to go...

Bad Humor:

quote:

Wanda picked up the scroll the Dungeon Master had dropped and unrolled it, it was covered in random characters and gibberish, but probably someone could have made some sense of it. She didn't want to admit that it made no sense, to her, so she rolled it up again and said to the guild: "Well, I don't know, either this is some otherworldly shopping list or he has really bad handwriting."

quote:

He discovered his love for explosions at a young age, when he tried to find out what happens when you pack the powder from a dozen bottle rockets into a pouch and light it on your teacher’s desk. Not coincidentally, this was also when he realized that school was not for him.

quote:

Rev asked, “Appearance?”

The tattooed brute answered, “Black hair. Weird accent. Pale as gently caress. Looks like an emo.”

quote:

"The Black Monarch word for 'knowledge' is the same as the word for 'death.'"

"These guys are really big on the whole forbidden knowledge thing aren't they?"

"Can you blame them? They're basically what happens when Cthulhu had to ask Satan if kids were a plan for their relationship."

quote:

quote:

quote:

"You smell like vaginal lubricant."

"Like you would know the smell."
LOL, both are dirty minded...

To save the planet from ourselves, we choose to protect it from enemies.

The character saying this is a half-human, half-Made of Magic being called a Gifted. They have very powerful magical ability, but they must consume 1 sentient soul per week, more often if they use their powers often, or else their Guardian Entity magical half will kill them. Thus most Gifted enlist into the planetary army to kill invaders and take their souls so they don't have to feed off the humans on their planet.
Funny that you say that, because it's the opposit. She is being with soul and body out of sync. Soul despises measly humans and all their discusting dealings including sexuality. Body however still has instincts, so you can guess how she's torn around when she meets guy from enemy faction and her body starts to get, you know, curious. Once when she returns to her place after almost having sex with the guy, her partner (whos power is to see evil... and only evil) calls her out for her weakness. Since she's already distrought from experiance, mutual murder attempt time ensues.

quote:

"[...]Man, I haven't even introduced myself yet. I'm almost called Eminem." Vicky looked at almost Eminem confusedly. "Eh, what?" "Precisely, I'm called Emin, that's practically Eminem."

"Hey, what are you up to now? It's totally different from the city, right?" "Please dig a grave and lie in it until you die.", Vicky answered.

This also sums up Vicky surprisingly well, so does this:

Mara looked at him speechlessly and Vicky shot him a glare that said as much as: I know how to hide a body.

haha troopers are such autistcs let me share you with this funny drinking game lol lol lol lol

caiman posted:

My favorite drinking game movie is Peter Jackson's Braindead (Dead Alive). I never thought of a title for it... let's call it 5 Gallons Per Second. I recommend playing this with drinks that are less than 10% ABV. Seriously. I recommend a good beer. A great one I've had recently is Hennepin Saison by Ommegang. Delicious and only 7.7%. Don't worry though, you'll be drunk by the end of this movie.

The rules:
Drink every time:
- Someone (zombie or otherwise) loses a finger, arm, leg, head, or part of their face
- Blood or other bodily goo is spattered on someone's face
- Bone in exposed externally
- Someone eats a body part (including their own)
- A kitchen appliance is used for mutilation
Finish your drink when:
- A character you wish would die finally does

The best person to play this game is someone who has never seen the movie and doesn't know what to expect.

quote:

Fluffy Pony is based around cute little fluffies ponies suffering. When a story or picture comes along with any fluffies being happy without any drawbacks, it's like throwing a bone to the whole species.

quote:

Ugly Cute: Fluffy Pony can be this, especially when abusers want to emphasize the oddity of the creatures.

quote:

rear end in a top hat Victim: Both sides. Fluffy herds are usually the victims of abuse, and many are annoying and deserve what comes to them. But it's hard to sympathize with the guy who gets his yard wrecked and his shoes pooped on when he proceeds to torture and mutilate the fluffies.

quote:

Disproportionate Retribution: In spades. Making "bad poopies" (not in the litterbox, generally by accident) can get a fluffy beaten or physically/mentally tortured. Invading a human's land is at the kindest an invitation to be abused and at worst a death sentence for everyfluffy involved.

quote:

Never Say "Die": Literally, in the case of fluffies. Though stories will not shy away from saying it, fluffy ponies themselves can only comprehend death as "forever sleepies."
The exception is when a fluffy's mind is irreparably broken by an incredible act of physical, mental or emotional damage. In this case, the fluffy will lose all personality and repeat "wan die", a stark contrast to its ordinary mind.

quote:

Share Phrase: Due to their cookie-cutter genetic programming, totally different fluffies will "come up with" the same catchphrases.
"Hewwo, new fwend?" -to anything, including inanimate objects and clearly dangerous people.
"How time tiww weggies?" -fluffies who lose all their limbs fancy this. This happens more than one would think.
