i like the baby series, but re-reading it made me die of laughter because i was imagining what it would sound like voiced over and now i can't unhear marge with the voice of a british pub going man with a thick london accent just going 'im a fuckin baby innit lad' over and over and now i don't know what to do with myself
this one has a lot of good development for the broodals one more than the others. topper probably the least, he just helps a bunch of kids supernanny style, but it was still fun. rango developed his eurotophobia (phobia of vaginas, which is a thing i have in my search history now i guess) and not that much extra. hariet was still in her obnoxious era here, but her rant in part 8 i think about how she wanted her plan to go perfect and doesnt ask for much could be a good avenue to explore of why she was such a renal blockage back then - she expects herself to be perfect for one reason or another. spewart gets the most here, managing to reconcile with kaley and beef and not letting dieter ruin his interactions with the fitness family. this is also good for kaley and beef as well, now fully being able to reset with marge and are just able to sort of forget that dieter existed which is for the best
I'm sobbing- In a voice dub, instead of someone reading [baby babbling sounds] they say THAT. That is so funny.
I feel so bad for Hariet yet again- Her brothers are all useless in this one, she's prepared, she is GIRLBOSSING. But I still had to make her come off as unreasonable and obnoxious. What is wrong with me. Even when she's totally in the right.
Topper's Arc: He learns... EMPATHY?? He was never too fond of kids, even if it's Beef & Kaley's new baby. His arc helped him learn that maybe kids aren't that bad :] ALSO two things: Him learning ASL which is relevant in the Volleyball Saga, and the yoshi kid is later revealed to be Plessie's cousin!
I didn't know there was a name for that- Eurotophobia. Comedy GOLD. Rango was actually already gynophobic/eurotophobic kinda, it just never really came up. But having to be by a woman giving BIRTH? The most graphic and important vaginal event?? Absolutely fucking not.
Leading up to The Baby, Spewart had a lot of stress about Marge turning out like Dieter, and honestly, Beef and Kaley did, too. But now she's here, and everyone is happy!
I'm glad you like it! The Baby feels the most balanced with characters for me, and it has the plot of a goddamn sitcom.
NEXT UP: The Polyamory Saga and Beanbean Vacation!!! Which happened to be on Iggy Day and Roy Day 'cuz I forgot- But that's okay. :]
