Oh no

Bro: I have raised a kid.

Dad: You fucked up a perfectly good child is what you did. Look at him. He’s got anxiety.

Sort of headcanon of the moment????

All of the original kids, post-scratch, retained little bits and pieces of their memories from the beta timeline. Dave remembered the most clearly. He and Rose meet sometime after he’s just out of high school (because I’m assuming she’s older than him in this universe?) and it is EMOTIONALLY FRAUGHT, THE END.

I need Rose and Dave to have met. I just believe that a world doesn’t exist where Rose and Dave — even devoid of memories — wouldn’t someday just bump into each other. No matter how low the odds.

Call it a case of…

… dersecest machina.

I love the picture.

I fully support the headcanon.

I could not oppose the pun more strongly.

your post about the certificate on ‘irony’ made me start thinking about “oh no, what if Rose was a middle-aged english professor and Dave was the new twenty-something teacher’s aide and he put things like that up to mess with her and also the students,” which turned into “Dave would be the worst english teacher ever, the only thing he could be worse at is a sports coach,” and then it basically devolved into “I wonder how hard Rose would hit that,” (the answer is a lot). Apologies everywhere.

Rose would destroy that. Very little of that would be left standing other than a few stumps of walls and the charred bones of a tree.

But man, I actually feel Dave wouldn’t be that bad as a teacher? He’d probably be the worst of the four kids, but I don’t think he’d be a disaster. He’d be the laid-back, cool teacher who everyone loves even though no-one’s totally sure how he still has a job (answer: the headmistress is one Dr R. Lalonde, MA, B.Ed, and her office has a very capacious sofa and is comprehensively soundproofed). I know in Herobound he taught Music, but I sort of see him as History. He’d be really good at making it memorable: once you’ve had Mr Strider talking about the French Revolution or ancient Rome for thirty minutes, you don’t forget it. It’s almost like he was there. He spends a lot of time sitting at the front of the room with his feet on his desk delivering long, rambling lectures which turn out to be weirdly relevant. His marking is sketchy as fuck – he just puts a big scrawly red tick at the end of your work if you didn’t screw up too badly, and if you did screw up you just get a ‘wtf’. (Meanwhile Dr Harley over in Biology has a bewilderingly complex system of coloured ink stamps with smiley flowers and suns and slogans like WOW! and SUPER COOL! and A BIG IMPROVEMENT!)

The famous Mr. Strider and Ms. Lalonde.

I’m just really invested in them in ways that will probably never become canon, ok.

Whoa this old thing is making the rounds again suddenly, what tumblr famous person reblogged it today??

I am still really… really invested in these two,…

reasonpeason:

“Mr. Strider seems to be not only on the red carpet but wearing it as well beside critically acclaimed author Rose Lalonde.”

Because what else would this old lady make me think of.

Inktober day #8: Battle (other half of it)

Dang Tumblr size restrictions, won’t let me upload the entire thing, so here they are side by side! Added the Sollux side to my fan art for

The Vienna Game ! These are two separate pieces of paper but I tried to line them up as good as possible; I hope they look alright :’D

(This fic really made me like Sollux and Terezi as Moirails…)

aaaahhh a great illustration for a great fic!

Man, I think the thing I’m most proud of about TVG is how much excellent fanart it attracted, which… I don’t think is a thing I’m allowed to be proud of, on reflection. Damn.

Anyway, this is really cool, and I’m delighted. I especially like the spot colour.
