@zebratron2084 *ouch*
*wow*
Is... that 3 year old going to grow up to become an Evil Overlord? Because that one's got the attitude down - sang-froid to the max.
@OldBrushNewPaper @zebratron2084 If it helps any, according to a book I read about imaginary friends, most likely not. A shocking number of imaginary friends get killed along the way, often violently. It *seems* like it's something people go through in learning how to tell stories and imagine other people's mental states?
It's still rrrrreally creepy to see as an adult though.
@Austin_Dern @OldBrushNewPaper Huh. Now I feel like such a wuss. O:) All mine got pretty well-treated. Granted, part of that might be because most of them were "born" AFTER I entered adolescence, was supposed to be done with that stuff, and had already developed my first glimmers of empathy...
I mean, how the frick do you kill a friendly pink unicorn? ;__;
@Austin_Dern @OldBrushNewPaper (Although now that I peek through the memory vault... Noelle *did* actually manage to snuff it a couple of times, mostly by volunteering herself to take the hit for me in times of great ego damage. It's just like her really, I did NOT approve, and I would never had let her do it if she didn't reincarnate. >_< )
@zebratron2084 @OldBrushNewPaper Yeah; I don't remember doing anything too nasty to my (admittedly few) childhood imaginary friends. But I was always a sensitive type. (And early childhood memories are *such* flaky things who even truly knows?)
In adulthood I'm having a hard time coping with this character created for a SpinDizzy plot being weeks away from "well, he's back to his home planet and we'll have no good reason to ever see him again". And he's fine, just going back to his own life.
@Austin_Dern I'm working so hard to not make a Poochie joke. >:D
@zebratron2084 It was in my mind too! There's just no fairer way to describe what happens when the cities have finished their business and should be going on their separate ways again.
(It's temptingly easy to rationalize why we'd see them again, though. Maybe too easy.)
