I'm re-reading the Bad Guys comics for writing purposes and this scene is still. So cute and funny to me.

The look on all of their faces.

Rough calling them ingrates.

It's just so funny asopdfj

YEAHHH LIKE I WOULD EAT THAT SHIT UP!!!!!

This. Is actually making me think. Did I ever post my height refs for the COGS??

What do I mean by that?

Well, I've noticed a trend with how people write them. People either write them as being overly mature and taking care of issues that they really shouldn't be handling (ex. being the therapist for a grown adult character) or they write them as being overly innocent and being a pure child who can do no wrong.

And neither of those characterizations fit Hat or Bow.

When it comes to Bow, I can get being loose with her characterization, considering she has none other than being Player 2.

However, with Hat Kid, we have canonical writings from her in the journal entries. And what do we see? A very sassy, stubborn, and tired girl who just wants to get off the planet. Literally the only boss who is painted in a positive light is DJ Grooves and even then it's because he's promised to make her a star.

Additionally, writing Hat and Bow as being too mature is very...unsettling in multiple ways. One of which is that there is a legit problem where children are asked to grow up too fast and end up having a lot of emotional problems in the future. And another is that having a child be a therapist for an adult is not healthy at all for the child, as it puts stress and emotional strain on them.

So yeah!

Glisten + Twisted Glisten (AKA Fracture) art be upon ye

we were thinking about the different managers/bosses and how they interact with their fathers so let's gooo

Duck Shuffler: Has no memory of what his father was like because orphan so is honestly just confused about the hype around it. Usually hangs out with Graham, Dave, and Flint during the day.

Prethinker: Has an awful relationship with his father so is extremely hostile/hates people who have a good relationship with theirs (ex. Cosmo, Cathal)

Derrick Man: Has a lukewarm relationship with his father so calls for formality's sake but doesn't do anything otherwise.

Rainmaker: Has a single mother whose father was never there so never celebrated

Deep Diver: Has two mothers so never celebrated Father's Day

Land Acquisition Architect: Has two fathers who he loves very much and they love him back lots so he goes to visit them every year.

Gatekeeper: Her father is on thin ice and will go dinner with him but will be in a bad mood for the rest of the day (usually solved with sparring)

Witch Hunter: Likes his father but never visits him due to his poor relationship with his mother so just handwrites and sends a card.

Public Relations Representative: Parents are long dead and doesn't talk about it unless pressed (usually in the form of riddles).

Bellringer: Laments the fact that he has a bad relationship with his father but tries not to be too bitter about others having a good relationship with theirs. Keyword: tries.

Multislacker: Usually spends half of the day with either dad before they have a family dinner together at the end of the day.

Senior Vice President: Is the father! Spoils his husband rotten in an effort to not think of his own father.

Mouthpiece: Spends the whole day with her husband and kids, spoiling her husband so that he doesn't have to do anything strenuous the whole day. Usually is too distracted by her kids and husband to think about her not-too-great father.

Major Player: Has a great relationship with his dad and usually has a family brunch with his father and then chills with Buck, Graham, and Flint for the rest of the day.

Chief Financial Officer - Buys things to cope with the fact that he hates his parents and his parents hate him the same.

Firestarter - Has a bad relationship with his father due to him being unaccepting of who Flint is. Usually spends the day with Graham, Buck, and Dave to keep his mind off of it, though.

Plutocrat: Usually is too busy to visit his fathers but usually calls and has gifts delivered to his parents' house because they have a pretty good relationship.

Chief Legal Officer: Has a cordial lunch with her father but otherwise doesn't do anything for Father's Day due to her uneasy relationship with him.

Treekiller: Has a great relationship with his parents and usually drags Chip to go see them (his parents also love Chip).

Chainsaw Consultant: Doesn't have a good relationship with his own father so usually goes to see Spruce's instead.

Chief Executive Officer: Drinking. Lots and lots of drinking to forget.

Featherbedder: Visits parents' and husband's graves with his children and grandkids. Otherwise just burns a candle in remembrance of them.
