Sixth day of Christmas : the Fourth Magi

That's not her in the doombuggy in the end. She acts too differently from how she did during the whole ride waiting, guiding us and crying. Now she is menacing and laughing evilly like crazy, nagging even and somewhat trying to tempt us

But keep in mind that right before, "hitchhiking" us is the Phantom. Like he did in the old ride when he was corpse-looking while he was skeleton-looking before... and was the one with us in the doombuggy afterward

What I tryna mean is

What if he can shapeshift since he's a ghost ?

And the Mélanie in the end is him, both to mock her as well as to scare us away from her so we won't help her ?

That could be in-character and explain things all while keeping the real Mélanie untouched and enhance how he is indirectly controlling her at all times everywhere and she resigned (now he is behind her on the ballroom balcony and in her mirror's reflection haunting her/watching her) and why we don't see her guide us out anymore, because we *avoid* her after what we saw and who we thought to he her, plus now he "guides" us out so that he can keep his prey for himself forever

Plus who knows, since after all he was already a ghost when he killed her fiancé on the day of their wedding, mayne he lured him in by passing as her

"She" even looks scarier/different from what she in the old ride now, with greyish skin and pronounced black eyeshadow as if he wanted to pretend she was turning scary like a banshee and truly scare us

Furthermore, in a way, we tend to forget that maybe it was already the case in the old ride : in the end of it, we would see a doll-sized Mélanie sounding more evil and telling us in a mocking/nagging/tempting way to hurry back because she was dying in loneliness which completely contradicts the whole purpose she had for the whole ride helping us out. So what if even back then it was the Phantom under her traits, and he could even shrink and did so so he could fit in the wine holder and scare us with surprise, back then wanting us to stay so that he could trap us or scare us away too all while mocking her ?

I don't think he possessed his own body back when we saw his corpse self, even with the coffin at his side, I take it as him being extra to scare us even more

That could also explain why he now has red pupils and other times not. He chooses to depending of his mood and level of scary

REJECT HUMANITY

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

PENELOPE HAS HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON DICK DASTARDLY ALL ALONG ! ALL FUCKING ALONG

SHE WAS BEING A TSUNDERE ALWAYS MOCKING HIM OR INSULTING HIM OR ROASTING HIM OR KICKING HIM OUT OF HER CAR BUT IN THE END SHE ACTUALLY HAD A CRUSH ON HIM SHE NEVER EVEN FELT FOR PETER OR RED MAX OR ANY OTHER

THE LIST OF GIRLS WHO ACTUALLY FIND DICK THE 2ND ATTRACTIVE GROWS HE DEF MUST HAVE CHARISMA OR BE HANDSOME IN UNIVERSE AFTER ALL

AND YET AS WE SEE HE IS THE ONLY GUY TO NOT SIMP FOR HER AT ALL WHILE EVERY OTHER MEN AROUND HER DO, SO EITHER GREW INTERESTED IN HIM OUT OF CARMEN'S HABANERA OR IS JUST MORE AND MORE DESPERATE WONDERING WHY THINGS ARE LIKE THAT

HC SHE DEVELOPPED THAT CRUSH WHEN WORKING FOR HIM AS A TEEN BECAUSE SHE HAD LOST HER FATHER (AND MOTHER) AS A YOUNG CHILD AND SINCE HE WAS THE ONLY OLDER FIGURE NOT TO BE HER GUARDIAN/UNCLE/GOD FATHER SHE DEVELOPPED AN OEDIPUS COMPLEX THAT WOULD THEN TURN INTO A CRUSH THAT WOULD NEVER LEAVE HER, BUT AS MUCH OF A PERV DICK IS ALL HE SAW WAS A TEENAGER BACK THEN AND HE HAD STANDARDS AND HE WOULD JUST BE MAD AS FUCK FOR THE MONEY SHE WOULD MAKE HIM LOSE WITH POTATOES AND EVEN NOW SHE IS LEGAL HE ONLY SEES THAT ANNOYING TRAINEE SO HE IS STILL NOT INTERESTED WHILE HE WOULD BE WITH OTHER WOMEN LOOKING LIKE HER BUT WHOM HE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN BEFORE AND THAT FRUSTRATES HER

SO SHE TRIES TO FORGET BY DATING OTHERS OR FLIRTING WITH OTHERS NOTABLY PETER PERFECT AND RED MAX WHO ARE OPPOSITES OF HIM (AND RED MAX A LITTLE BECAUSE HE HAS A STACHE AND BLACK HAIR TOO) AND IS READY TO MARRY ANY OF THEM BOTH OUT OF SUPERFICIALITY AND SOCIAL PRESSURE OF THE TIME MAKING IT HER LITTLE GIRLS DREAL BUT ALSO AS A MEAN TO FORGET DICK WHICH SHE WOULDN'T

SHE ALTERNATES BETWEEN BEING BITCHY/TSUNDERE/MAD AT HIM LIKE WE ALWAYS SEE HER TO HIM BUT SOMETIMES SHE WILL BE KIND OR EVEN FLIRTY IN RARE OCCASIONS WHERE SHE WOULD BE MORE EMOTIONAL THAN USUAL BUT HE WOULD JUST REJECT HER EVERY TIME

ONCE SHE WOULD HAVE LOST PETER AND RED MAX TO OTHER PEOPLE YEARS LATER SHE WOULD GET CHARMED BY SPEED RACER BECAUSE HE WOULD REMIND HER OF HIM NY BEING A BLACK HAIRED SOCIOPATH BUT HE WOULD DITCH HER AND PREGNANT AT THAT, MAKING HER FEEL AS ALONE AND BITTER AS CAN BE AND TURNING OUT ABUSIVE TO HER BRATS

DICK WOULD FUCK HER LIKE ONCE ONE DAY BETWEEN THE OG SHOW AND THE REBOOT ONE PARTICULAR DESPERATE EMOTIONAL DAY SHE WOULD HAVE MET HIM AGAIN AND HE WOULD BUT MAINLY OUT OF PRIDE BECAUSE IT'S NICE TO SEE HE IS THAT DESIRABLE EVEN OLD, PITY BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE TURNT INTO A SHADOW OF HERSELF WITH THAT NEW LIFE SHE DIDN'T WANT, AS A MEAN OF HER LEAVING HIM ALONE AT LAST, AND BECAUSE AFTER ALL HEH SHE IS HOT AND IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO CHEAT ON DELILAH WITH YOUNGER BEAUTIFUL LADIES, BUT STILL NO ROMANCE

I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THAT MADE ME IMAGINE A WHOLE HC IN SOME HOURS BUT THAT WORKED

About David and Doris, a little bonus I forgot to precise

Doris is very close to her aunt Diane, admiring her for being a strong woman (and probably what made her a mysandrist, father resentment + no father figure but a second mother figure + a "needing no man" feminist figure at that), and David is very close to his uncle Dread Baron whom he sees like his real father figure (and Dread seeing him like the child he could never have, Red Max doesn't want any kid), to whom he had come out first and who had taught him how to pilot. Doris and Dread Baron do like each other a lot too and so do David and Diane, but there is not that same connection and connivence. As for Don, he does like his niblings but is not connected to any of them not even Longarm because he mainly stays in Germany with his kids and his wife's pretzel business to bother visitting back in US too much

SkekVar stargazing as well : They are, sire

SkekSo : Do you know who else is beautiful ?

SkekVar blushing : No ?
