Do you have any thoughts on how they would have raised a kid?

Ohhhhh, y'know, it'd be easy to joke about how they'd be terrible influences and the most rowdy, trouble-inspiring set of uncles and aunt, but they'd probably be a mixed bag... They'd just stagger their bad ideas until the kids were older XD

Hare's squeamish around Human Oozes so he'd probably keep any babies at arm's length, literally. Once the kid was older he'd be teaching them card and coin tricks and how to steal from the adults, and then sneaking them out of the house, and you know you're gonna be getting your license soon, have you ever considered driving a get-away car. And of course if the kid was queer he'd be very supportive.

The Skull is 100% a disciplinarian and a snitch so that kid is going to do their homework. He'd be against Hare's influence in some ways, mostly in trying to point the kid away from stealing from other family members, and in doing so ends up a target for hi-jinks himself. The kid would not be scared of The Skull because he would not hurt them.

The Jack, well, assuming the timeline stays the same, he wouldn't be left alone with the kid a lot. In actuality he'd be more likely to run away from a crying child than to put them in any danger, but no-one trusts him at that point. Once the kid was older they'd probably get tasked with watching out for The Jack like Hare and The Skull were.

Dee was a mother in her past life, but there's only so much you can do from behind a closed door. She might offer advice to Hare when the kid starts to have complicated emotional problems, or talk through the door to them for short times.

Locksmith was locked up, but that's ok, because manipulation aside, the kid would find Locksmith borrrinnngggg.

Riker and Scratch don't super factor in here, but if they did... Riker probably isn't great with kids or teens and knows it, so while he wouldn't be mean, he'd be stand-offish. Scratch on the other hand is young enough to remember being a teen and would be friendly with them.

And Tatters would love the attention.

Yeah so..... Him.

Hatchworth cheerfully made Locksmith's life Hell!

[ID: A digital sketch in black and white. A screaming and crying snake (avatar of Muse) is coiled around a heart shaped cake that reads 'happy bye' on the top. The snake is surrounded by the Becile Bots. Dee is screaming back. The Jack says placatingly, "W-We'll always be with you! Kinda!" The Skull scowls while holding a forlorn looking Tatters. Hare winces and says, "Eeesh." Scratch makes an anime-style sweatdrop-and-closed eye expression. Riker grins smugly at the viewer and says, "I get a boyfriend in the next project." Locksmith's disembodied, X-eyed head lays on the table wearing a party hat. End ID]

@ghoulishjester suggested this as an end-of-blog celebration, and while I'm still looking for something to do IRL, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do something really really stupid
