cmon i think we can all admit that mom lalonde went into science specifically to prolong the lives of cats and then accidentally became an astronomer/geneticist. follow your dreams, kids.
@hypeswap YEAH!!! i’m solidly in the “the little girls bedroom set belonged to a pre-rose baby” camp bc i really like projecting my own trauma on characters but like. yknow
god i’m just excited to see babysitter lalonde kick ass or w/e in hauntswitch. i believe in her
idk what’s worse but here are two awful and plausible scenarios. like comment subscribe
1) “mom lalonde actually thinking that she was a good parent and being an oblivious neglectful mother”
2) “mom lalonde was entirely aware of her actions, premeditated her descent into alcoholism, and did so because she knew that sburb would result in her death and didn’t want rose to grow attached despite the fact that she very much wanted to raise a living child without pain and suffering”
so i have this really self indulgent “no sburb and everything is okay, also its humanstuck(?)” au where mom & dad meet at a single parent meet up, hit it off, eventually get married and also mom goes to rehab etc etc but most importantly john and rose become step siblings and eventually gay sibling solidarity. but the first meeting goes something like this
some au where everyone is safe and happy and live in the same weird town & mom goes to AA and is in therapy and rose can be a kid w/o any of the trauma of having an alcoholic parent grappling ptsd
