You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Allyson, it's very clear you are undeserving of the crap treatment you are getting. I'm so sorry that something so promising has turned out to be a head-eating turd monster.

ita, that tale is utterly adorable. The kid, not the shit weekend. I'm a big proponent of kid hugs as brief shining respite from the ick.

I wonder if I can borrow the new baby to go to my icky morning meeting at 9:30 tomorrow. I know, rationally, that what happened isn't my fault. But it was under my purview for so long, I feel responsible, despite the fact I didn't write the code and there was no indication it would do exactly what it did, and the reporting mechanisms aren't something that were meant to be intensively monitored.

I just don't like delivering bad news.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That little kid went to his first day of preschool in full Darth Vader-fu, because it made him less scared. But he prefers Voldemort, because Voldy never flirted with being good.

He's a charmer.

I should probably be more embarassed.

Own it, girl! I do. I was vaguely embarrassed aht I was rooting for one guy just because he was hot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. Which one?

the retail manager/rock climber guy. He had that midwestern farm boy look that I love so much.

Dude, did you see his father and brother?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Chinese Giant Salamander, the world's largest amphibia at 1.8 meters

It looks like a fucking alien. A freakish, salmon-colored alien. Also, WTF is #6?!? What the hell is that?!?

The purple frog is *cute*! I'm WAY more disturbed by that giant goddamn salamander. It doesn't even look like it has a HEAD.

I'm also somewhat put off by the frog that looks like a leaf (the Darwin frog?) on top. It shouldn't look like foliage. That just ain't right.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

But he prefers Voldemort, because Voldy never flirted with being good.

That's hilarious. And scary.

It's fantastic! My reaction was "Holy Camouflage, Batman!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The purple frog is *cute*!

It looks like a fish with genetically mutated frog limbs growing out of it.
