Sort of headcanon of the moment????
All of the original kids, post-scratch, retained little bits and pieces of their memories from the beta timeline. Dave remembered the most clearly. He and Rose meet sometime after he’s just out of high school (because I’m assuming she’s older than him in this universe?) and it is EMOTIONALLY FRAUGHT, THE END.
I need Rose and Dave to have met. I just believe that a world doesn’t exist where Rose and Dave — even devoid of memories — wouldn’t someday just bump into each other. No matter how low the odds.
Call it a case of…
… dersecest machina.
BADUM PSH
Yeah I just need them to have met. If they don’t know each other in alpha world then… I don’t know… I’ll cry?
Can they also have some kind of torrid affair that the media swarms all over when Dave gets famous? I would like that.
Of course they do, complete with paparazzi snaps of them doing salacious activities, such as drinking each other’s bubble tea at hole-in-the-wall boba places. I would also like Bro and Mom to disgustedly commiserate over their parents doing it.
TG: hahaha my moms bonin ur bro
TG: wait
TG: thats napsty
TG: *nastey
TG: *fukkin disgusting
TT: The worst part being, of course, that you got the verb order correct.
TT: My bro is, indeed, thoroughly goddamn boned by your mother.
TG: hay douche lets up n build a PARENT TRAP for those erstwhile shits
TT: How about a gigantic pitfall?
TG: ^^^ yeop#It’s salacious because he is pretending to blow the bubble tea straw solely for her entertainment
For a second I was like, “what, he’s blowing bubbles in her tea? How…?” And then I got it.
And I cannot stop laughing (or get that image out of my head, lmao)
