((happy birthday to you!! on the topic of birthdays...))
(Birthday dates for the kiddos + other muses/npcs of your choice + their fave cake flavor(s)? including your fave! unless there's a different desert preference, food is a good window into a person's soul after all :3c)
((THANK YOUUUUU ))
((You know I hadnt given it much thought, so I did some research into birth months and chose which months best fit the kiddos, Toiletnator, and Amelia and Laurence!))
Addy: May 29th. That special week just before Summer break ((at least in my school district)). Her fav cake flavor is a lime jello poke cake! She loves her jello, so what better cake than one that combines cake and jello?!
Oliver: September 10th. He's not too big on cake, actually! He prefers a fresh apple pie for his birthday that he can crack into.
Catherine: April 9th. She loves her strawberry cake. She needs fresh strawberries cut and placed on top of strawberry frosting on a strawberry cake. All strawberries, all pink for the birthday girl!
Bobby: October 30th. Confetti cake! Colorful and tasty!
Amelia: January 5th. German chocolate cake all the way!
Laurence: March 11th. Lemon cake, of course! His love of yellow extends to his taste in cake.
Toiletnator: March 19th. Urinal cake- Nah, I'm just kidding. Classic vanilla for him!
((And for me, my favorite is a special banana pudding cake my mom makes for me! Its white cake topped with banana pudding, whipped cream, crushed cookies, and fresh bananas! I've never been a fan of frosting, so this cake is right up my alley! This year though, I got an ice cream cake to shake things up!))
((Thank you again for the birthday wishes and the ask! Have a great day!))
Negative Robert (Aka, Trebor): A nonconfrontational pacifist. Instead of living in the suburds of Peach Creek like his positive self, he lives in the Park n Flush trailer park with his kind hearted, hard working parents. Unlike Bobby, Trebor is quick to pick up new concepts and is not easily distracted, but is easily pushed around by others due to his docile nature.
Negative Catherine (Aka Enirehtca or Eni for short): Eni is the muscle. No time for talk, no time for strategy. Act or die, thats her mindset. The world is cruel, and you need to be too in order to survive it. She works alongside the DNK as a lone wolf who doesn't play well with others.
Negative Oliver (Aka, Revilo): Revilo comes from a large family, just like Oliver. Only, their farm is struggling just to make ends meet. Along with this, he's expected to be the warden of his younger, bratty siblings while the older ones slack off and do nothing like the other adults. To cope, he takes it all out on everyone else. Everyone smaller or weaker than him, he'll shove them down into the mud where they belong.
((All have been dealt a bad hand by fate. But, Negative Laurence has offered them all a chance to take back what fate took from them all))
I love how Beige Mom and Tina being related makes so much sense.
Goliath and BM being old teammates also makes for some juicy interaction too! Another terrible adult to point at as an example to when he's making a point about how growing up takes your whimsy. He'd have the juiciest dirt on her childhood omg
BM just opens the door for soooo much actually dkkcidosof like if Tina and Cat were old teammates BM would HATE Catherine off the fact she loves her rainbow clothes and her bright pinks
((Right?! I feel like it also puts so much into context too. All these pieces of Tina finally making sense, like her instant dislike of Addy, her aggressive nature, and her being possessive of Catherine, her last friend left. The only bit of color she has in her drab world.))
((BM and Goliath being old teammates is really fun to think about too! Especially because I'm thinking BM was one of the kids who vouched for him despite his villainous upbringing.))
((And then there's the fact that he remembers, but she doesn't. Does she get a sense of deja vu? Does she remember Blake Orion? Does she remember the boy he used to be, or at the very least more tame memories of him that didn't involve the knd?))
((oh ya, she hates Cat just on her color choices alone. When they were still friends, Tina didn't ever bring her around to her home because her mom will take all that color away dfjkdfj))
((Poor Tina can't really have anyone over, not unless they're already dressed in neutral colors.))
((For the meme, I think Laurence would have a Nokia phone))
((And god forbid if Bobby finds the box of his old stuff and finds that phone, because he would totally ask Addy if he could beat people with it to see how it measured up compared to bricks dfjkdfjdfj))
((If women who are alcoholics, neglect their children, drink and drive, and refuse to accept that they're a problem are your thing go for it DJKDFJDFJ))
((But for real though, being in a relationship with Amelia would be so messy))
tw: grieving, mentions of death, alcoholism, child neglect, Amelia is a very toxic girlfriend
((Shes lost her husband to a tragic accident, she's developed a drinking problem, and she is just naturally a very selfish, self centered person.))
((Even before Laurence died, she wasn't the best partner. She was distant because she just didn't like staying in one place. She didn't want to settle; she loved traveling. And Laurence shared the same sentiment at first and was content to travel with her on his days off and go home whenever he was tired, but then they had Addy. And he couldn't do that anymore. He had their baby to worry about.))
((And she was lowkey resentful about that because all of a sudden, she couldn't have her cake and eat it too. She couldn't have Laurence and come and go as she pleased, like before. She was never hostile towards Addy, but you could tell she missed when it was just her and Laurence.))
((She would constantly tell Laurence to leave her with a nanny for a week, sometimes even for months-long trips with her. And Laurence always said no, even to the days long ones because he just couldnt do that to Addy. Especially as she was a colicky baby who needed a lot of care. And she's just so self-centered that she thinks, "Why can't he just leave the kid? She'll be fine for a few days, she won't even realize that he's gone."))
((And after Laurence died? She gets so much worse))
((You have a woman who loves to travel, never banked on being a mother, who loves her husband))
((And you take all that from her))
((She loses her husband in a tragic accident. All of a sudden, she's left as the sole parent to the daughter she never even wanted. But now she feels obligated to stay in that house with her because she has no one else to go to, and she'll go into foster care without her. That's her husband's baby, he wanted her so badly. How could she just toss her away? Laurence would want her to step up, he would))
((Only she doesn't, not in the ways she should. She keeps Addy fed, makes sure she does her homework, she buys anything she ever wants/needs...but shes not there for her.))
((She clocks out mentally the moment Addy seems "fine", and retreats to her own corner to drink and forget. She only does the bare minimum for Addy, never spending time with her, never talking to her about her interests. She might as well be a ghost in her life because it'd be so difficult and uncomfortable to try after eleven years of being distant. So she just... doesn't.))
((For a time she couldn't even hug her because all she saw was the husband she'll never see again.))
((Now add a partner to the mix? Now that's gonna lead to so much toxicity unless she gets the proper help and talking to she needs))
((First. If its too soon after Laurence's passing, she is definitely comparing her partner to him. Either directly or subconsciously.))
"Laurence would compromise with me. Laurence would hear me out on this. Why can't you be more like Laurence?"
((Second. Her self centered nature. Most of the time shes so hard headed. Its her way or the highway. We do this, or I'm gonna be pissed at you or leave.))
((Third. Her alcoholism is going to make her so impulsive. At best shes a giggly drunk who wont take anything seriously. At worst, shes driving Addy places and won't understand why someone is horrified by that fact. Plus, she just cant go a day without a drink, so if you take issue with that it may lead to a fight with her as she doesn't think she has a problem.))
((Fourth. Poor Addy is getting caught up in all this, its inevitable. While she's a shitty mom, she does have Addy's best interests in mind for the most part. Her partner needs to treat Addy good, or else she's immediately breaking it off. Amelia will not be with anyone who could potentially hurt her daughter or tries to get her to relinquish her rights.))
((But...even if her partner is good with Addy, chances are that Amelia will get too comfortable relying on them as a new surrogate parent.))
"Can you drive Addy to Bug Club? I have a headache. Can you make dinner for her? I just can't, and you make it better anyway. Addy is upset. Can you talk to her?"
((Unless you put your foot down with her, its gonna be a nasty habit and it just might snowball back into her leaving Addy with her partner and leaving to go off on her next adventure))
((All in all, being Amelia's partner is gonna start off really toxic, and without time, patience, and some outside help like therapy and AA, she's not gonna be the best partner))
