who has some happy news they would be willing to share?
seriously, anything i don't care how insignificant of a thing you think it is. it doesn't have to be something earth-shattering or life changing, the only requirement is that it's something happy.
i just want to hear that SOMEBODY out there is having a good day today.
because april 13th is rarely anything other than an overall disappointment for me, no matter what universe i'm in.
i am beginning to wonder if it's just some kind of unspoken rule.
hell, now that i think about it, it doesn't even have to be something that actually happened today.
i want to hear about anything in your life that has ever made you happy. the more recent the better, but it can be stuff from back home too.
there's only one more thing i wanted to ask about, and that is the other father.
he went back home earlier this week. the last time this happened i was...well i didn't deal with it as well as i should have, let's just leave it at that. i ignored some things that should have been obvious and should have been taken care of.
but i am a bit more prepared this time. or at the very least, it didn't hurt quite as much.
that being said, is anybody watching his house at the moment?
i have been giving it some thought the past couple of days and i am very seriously considering going back and continuing what he started. well, in a way.
because i am not the other father by any stretch of the imagination so it wouldn't be quite the same sort of deal but i do think having a somewhere for people to be able to call home when they otherwise don't have one is a good thing.
but i still have things i have to do over in kanto and i am not sure how long it will be before i can get back to goldenrod.
or if i would be stepping on any toes with this, i mean if somebody already has it covered then that's fine.
but if nobody does then hey? why not me?
that's what i figure, anyway.
so uh...basically, tl;dr: who's watching the other house right now and if the answer is nobody, would somebody mind occasionally just...popping over there for me once in a while?
to make sure it doesn't get demolished or something like that. i don't know how stuff like this works, i have never owned a house or anything like that before.
or if he even left it to anybody or anything like that. houses have deeds and shit, right? he built the place himself so that just makes this all the more confusing...
i guess what i am saying is: i call dibs if nobody else has already. to put it as simply and admittedly childishly as possible.

I think a pillow for to end all pillow forts would be lovely.
no subject
I am all for bro huddling and napping together but no spooning. [There are jokes he could make to this. He feels so ugh right now but-
Oh damn it.] I mean I know you're living the dream, a blond on each arm but control yourself dude.
no subject
Heh, yeah I know, right? All of my dreams are being realized in this very moment. It makes control so very hard.
But fine, if you are going to be like that then Rose will get all of my spooning and cuddles and basically everything that is generally good about sleeping next to me. And Dave will get all of my kicks and punches and I wouldn't be surprised if at some point I roll over and crush you.
[Jokes are good, right?]
no subject
I don't know how you expect him to control himself, Dave. After all, it's not just a blonde on each arm, we're near identical. Don't boys dream of dating identical twins?
[[Jokes are very good.]]
no subject
This is how life should be.]
And I didn't say no to cuddles, just no spooning. I'm not a spooner. That just leads to ugh it's too hot in here territory and me sticking my toes out of the blankets to chill back out. Do you want to melt me. Is that what you're after?
no subject
[It really and truly is. It's only missing one thing, to be honest.]
And hey, I said I was sorry for that, Rose! And you returned the favor so you really have no place to talk.
[He's a space heater though, there's really just no way around that...prepare to melt, Dave.]
no subject
I would love to have two of you around. Or three. Maybe a handful...
no subject
But wow way to stereotype us. Just because we'd look alike, wouldn't mean we'd be alike. I can't dredge up the horrors or any of that shit. You want tentacles, visit the Lalonde Shop. Strider's Cafe only provides the sickest flow and hot, hot, crank it up and let it char you, beats.
So it's like having the arctic on one side and the Sahara on the other. [He leans forward to reclaim his mug of coffee and takes a slow swig of the contents.]
no subject
[Nooooooope.]
For the record though, I was talking about if Rose had an identical twin like in the sense that it was a girl and also actually more of a clone than a twin. Gosh, give me some credit! You think after all these years I would have noticed that I have peppermint on one side and cinnamon on the other.
[What even are these comparisons? And more importantly: which one of them is the Sahara, which one is the arctic and who is peppermint/cinnamon?]
So don't worry, dude. Totally not going to come into your Cafe and ask for tips on how best to stimulate my octopus's creative talents or anything like that. I will just head on over when I am feeling up to a wicked jam session.
no subject
Her next question, apparently, is very important. Because she sits up and turns to look at the two of them rather than just sort of in their general direction.]]
...I'm the cinnamon right? The Sahara? It's because I'm smoking hot, right guys?
no subject
[There you go Rose. You're the Sahara. Dave shifts so he can stick out a hand behind John and touch her shoulder.]
Course we mean you're sizzling, you've got some pretty sweet genetics making amazing things happen. Just don't go making a card for mom going 'thanks for the amazing ass, I really appreciate it'.
[He just. Walked. Right into that one.]
It would be like John here pinging Jake about that. A w k w a r d. [Might as well cram the other foot in there too.]
no subject
[Dave, what the hell is wrong with you.]
And just like that, I have completely forgotten where I was even going with my analogy. Good job, Dave.
no subject
And thank you Dave. I know exactly what to get our parents now for their appropriate parental days.
no subject
no subject
[What do?]
no subject
I am the darling baby daughter of the family. Don't you know how families work when a darling baby daughter is involved?
no subject
no subject
Uhh...
[They're not even going to pay attention to him, are they?]
no subject
And who said I wouldn't enjoy all of that puppet ass?
no subject
Until she says that last bit. Something akin to horror here.] Oh my god, you would! You adopted that gene for adoring a group of soulless googly eyed nightmarish creatures just waiting to crash on some poor unsuspecting victim.
no subject
Okay, that's it.
[He puts his hands together and slides them out in front of them before proceeding splitting them to part the DerseSib Sea.]
Make up and play nice, you two, or I swear I will turn this car around!!
no subject
She gives Dave this mischievous look before leaning against John, putting on her best kid pout.]]
But daaaaddyyyyy! We were just playing around. Besides, he started it!!
1/2
2/2
no subject
[This is what he gets for trying to lighten the mood with jokes. He really should have known better with these two. Why does he never learn?]
[He tries to wiggle free of Dave's grip while simultaneously not moving closer to Rose and it's really just not working out for him.]
Augh, guys stop! Come on! It was a joke!!
