I actually felt kind of bad for Darren, as he was faced with the fact that life was just plain better for his family without him around. But nope! Just a dumb chav.

That's a goddamn allegory on how we treat old folks: forgotten or mostly an after-thought. Just made me realize I haven't talked with my grandfather in several months. All this time I thought she was another Selkie and was finally going back to the ocean

Except the reaction to something like this is very often to internalize the realization and cope with it by fulfilling the role that has been cast for you. He is someone who has no control over their life (prison, then loan shark) and has just discovered he was betrayed by the people closest to him. This reaction is pretty terrible but it could have been a lot worse.

I guess it's possible that this isn't Darren, you know. It could be the loan shark, or the neighbour with the weird beard (if he's a werewolf).

Darren was built up too much to just be dismissed as a worthless punk in the end. Also his actions at the moment are partially explained by him being drunk as poo poo.

Have we figured out what the missing piece is or what the supernatural element in this chapter is yet? I think the chapter titles usually refer to multiple things , like an overall theme of the chapter, so it might be all the little secrets that are coming out Jackard fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Dec 3, 2015 |

Age isn't really a factor, remember that SGF mostly starred characters who were technically adults. Blossom sassed Ol' Knotty into a coma earlier, so that qualifies as supernatural. But I predict this wedding isn't the climax of this chapter and it still has a turn or two on the way. We have to resolve Darren's debt, we're probably going to follow Blossom and Shauna's relationship a few more steps, and I want the new head of discipline to be relevant somehow. I'm guessing that something's going to pull this story 45 degrees soon. We're missing a piece of it.

I figure a twist is that Dan came from circumstances too and helps bring the kid back to the family in the end.

Well, he hid the pot he was selling where a ten-year-old could find it, so I feel like he was on the road to jail anyway. That doesn't really make a difference as far as their personal feelings about it go.

It does seem to be a regrettable mixture of drunkenness and anger (however justified) that led to the room destroying. If I may make a prediction, though, the alienation Daz is getting from his family over this incident combined with his desperation that may lead up to him firing (or rather, rob) this Chekov's Gun: http://scarygoround.com/?date=20150818

Man, they really have grown up a bunch, haven't they? They must be getting close to the age of Esther, the Boy, et. al when they made their debut in Scary Go Round, back in the day. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Aw I'm re-reading the first few pages of BM now, the baby mystery kids are so adorable. e: Man, remember how Ryan dates Lottie's sister? Seems messed up in retrospect. Totally forgot about the subplot in the first case where Dan tries to get Shauna's stolen coat back without her mum finding out. Dude's a class act.

Yeah, but they pointed out in-story it was hosed up, just like they did with Scott Pilgrim.
