absolutely obsessed with the idea of alpha dave and rose doing everything they can to be parents to children they will never ever meet. dave filming pbs style educational videos for baby dirk and rose recording herself doing dramatic readings of bed time stories for lil roxy. hidden presents around the house that say "Open only on your 8th birthday" and "for when youre 12". leaving pictures of themselves in the kids home so they know that even though they're alone, this person loved them and did their best to make an apocalypse livable for them. video recordings and handwritten notes and instruction manuals and nonperishable food and "i dont know you but i love you" and "ill never get to meet you but im proud of you" and "youll never know me but i did my best to take care of you" in every way they knew how
