It's none of our business and she doesn't exist anyway, so let's butt into her life!
-
Sounds like a plan.
Why in the name of the awesome Moog would having an affair with Sven help Marigold?
-
Better if she had an affair with Tai.
-
I dunno about Marigold boinking Sven, but I'm guessing she's still a virgin - and a first experience may well help in a lot of ways.
It could hurt, too, but there seems to be a consensus that some pain is necessary for "character development". So maybe the hurt will help.
OK, I'll stop talking out my ass now. >PHBLTBTT<
-
There's no 'Oversized novelty dildo' option, so I didn't vote.
-

Only if she doesn't bestow the moment with holy significance. Wanna make bets on her not doing that? Unless she's penetrated by 'the one'* first time out, we're talking going right back to River City.
What she needs is to socialize, socialize, socialize and, hopefully, get the idea that more than one person, or two, as the case may be, enjoys her company.
* And no, I don't mean Jet Li (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267804/).

Just so long as hse doesn't end up fighting herself

I don't think a pet is the best idea for her. Based on her lack of attention to cleanliness, not only would it probably die of neglect, but it'd probably give her and Angus a disease first. So, no pets for Marigold, an AnthroPC is more than enough. She doesn't really strike me as the animal loving type anyway.

SHE'S PERFECT JUST THE WAY SHE IS! >:[
-
For an affair with Sven to be good for her, Sven's newfound conscience would need to hold up, and Marigirl would have to know his history and emotionally accept that he was temporary (that's the hard part).

But River City is tons of fun! She can hang out at the footbridge playing ass-grab with the other kids, and maybe Anita can teach her how to twirl baton so she can be in the band, too! Lets all sing Shipoopi!! :angel:
-
Eh, you'd be surprised. My house is... I don't have ten-year-old boxes of foodlike substances laying around, but I don't exactly keep things particularly clean, either. However, I take good care of my kitty because I know that however annoying the cat is being or how sucky it is to have to clean the freakin' litterbox, having the cat around is worth it to my sanity.

Don't know which is more amusing, the comment, the avatar positioned beside it, or the idea of Marigold twirling batons, playing grab-ass, or dancing the 'Shipoopi' in the chorus. Although a few of those girls do seem to be built along Marigold's lines. (Not, not Buddy's partner) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1iZarUHt04
-
She'd be a natural at baton twirling! With all of her gaming experience her fingers must be fast, flexible and strong. And she's not opposed to getting costumed up, either. Think of her visit to the Horrible Revelation. I can see it now: Marigold parading down the street, strutting that baton,
pimples glasses gleaming in the morning sun... ::sniffle:: +5 Self Esteem, Marigold! You GO, girl! :angel:

Hear here! Why fix what ain't broke? It's a learning experience, she's learning and growing, and will move on, becoming a productive member of society...
Wait, wrong speech.
Nevermind! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3FnpaWQJO0)

So far nobody has ever had a pet and an AnthroPC at the same time. Unless you count Dorten as a unified entity.

Dammit! Now I want to go to the Ice Cream Social!
-
BUT HE DOES-N'T KNOW THE TER-RI-TOR-Y!
-
Don't go there. It's nothing but trouble.
With a capital T.
-
and that rhymes with P...
-
I don't think anything on the poll will do anything. Apart from the supporting friends, but she already has that.
-
*sigh* and that stands for 'Pool.' (This is all my fault, isn't it?)
-
Dammit! Ninja'd (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1427)
-
so wat the heck ur weclome :)
glad 2 have u with us
even tho we may not ever mention it again LOL!!!!
-
Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger? A dime-novel hidden in the corncrib? Is he starting to memorize jokes from Captain Billy's Whiz-Bang?
-
*sigh* and that stands for 'Pool.' (This is all my fault, isn't it?)
You give yourself too much credit. Thank Meredith Wilson, Robert Preston, and every high school director who ever thought it was a good idea to stage it!
-
My brother played the Lead in that in his Junior Year.
They cut the 'Shipoopi' number though
-
I was in the pit band. The lone trombone (!)
-
How can you do 76 Trombones with only one trombone?!?!?!
-

How can you do 76 Trombones with only one trombone?!?!?!
That has to be the greatest irony in high school musical history.
-
It was a small band. Only about a dozen people, no tuba (but we had a bari sax), one trombone, 2 trumpets, a clarinet, a flute and a piccolo, a few higher saxes, a piano, 2 percussionists, and that damn kid who blew the train whistle.
Oh yeah, and the auditorium didn't have a pit. We were in a gazebo center stage, in costume for the entire show.
-
See, now, that don't make no sense, why would River City need Prof. Harold Hill if they already had a fully armed and operational town gazebo band?
-
I was not directing. Send all inquiries to Fr. Naumann, S.J., Canisius High School, Buffalo NY. I hear he's still alive...
-
I believe the term is "Willing Suspension of Unbelief"
-
Or 'The Twilight Zone' for short
-
Oh I Get It!
The Gazebo Band is playing fifty years in the future, and the play that unfolds is their collective memory of when Prof. Hill (who never left River City and lived to a ripe old age) came to town and started the World Famous River City Boy's Band (which became a gazebo band when the members became too old to march.)
:-D
-
Hmmm - that would also explain why there's only one trombone player left alive...
You know those things are hazardous, and...
(wait for it....)
There can be only one!
-
No fixin' what can't be fixed.
-
Oh, anyone can be fixed.
Although maybe spayed is the proper term...
:angel:
-
How can you do 76 Trombones with only one trombone?!?!?!
I would guess you suck in all the air you can and blat like hell. I wouldn't know, though—I did percussion.
-
Shipoopi? I much prefer the Peter Griffin version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99kHuTOJ94o).
-
I've got the right tool for the job.
-
There are some new options in the poll, if anyone wants to change their vote(s).
-
Can't unvote. Couldn't before, I don't know if you can change that option after a poll's been started.
I've got the right tool for the job.
Wait, tool? For playing trombone, dancing the Shipoopi... or spaying Marigold?
Is there a toolbox version of rule 34?
-
Can the people who put "affair with Sven" ahead of "counseling" expand on their reasons for recommending it?
There's no apparent way to change the option about whether you can change votes, but I was sure I had it turned on in the first place.
-
Counseling would always be a good thing, especially for someone as socially awkward as Marigold.
The "affair with Sven" would just be funny. ;)
-
I still say she'd be better off having an affair with Tai.
-
Geez, Kugai—first Hanners, now Marigold. You'd think Tai was your unhitched stepsister or somesuch and
sponging off living with you and the SO, and you were trying to get her hooked up and moved out.
Wait: That explains everything! Dashes off to tell Stephen Hawking
The "affair with Sven" would just be funny. ;)
Only if someone were near Sven every moment with a laser sight centered on his crotch and a mic hooked to a microspeaker in Sven's ear, whispering: "Go on, Loverboy, cheat on her. Dump her. Just once, for me."
-
Who would do it, Faye or Genevieve?
-
Who would do it, Faye or Genevieve?
Yes. (They'd alternate.)
-
I imagine there'd be quite a few applicants for that position. But Faye'd probably not be a good choice (Unless, of course, you want Sven to be fit for harem duty).
-
No, the answers 42 raoullefere
-
What was the question?
-
Exactly. Now that we know the answer...
-
[KoshVoice] You are not ready for the answer. [/KoshVoice]
-
Now there's an idea; Kosh voice-changer masks. I mean, they have one for nearly everyone else these days....
-
* Wheeze* Indeed they have *Wheeze*
-
I wonder if she had a family situation that was dysfunctional one way or another. Can a vicious "peer" group by itself create self-esteem problems as bad as Marigirl's? It seems more likely that she had self-esteem problems going into school and the merciless attacked where they saw weakness.
-
That's what I meant when I said 'that we know of' (somewhere, I know I said it somewhere) about Marigold. She didn't just hatch like this. As for her isolationist tendencies being peer—related, I don't think a peer group can do this all by itself (although the wretched buggers can do a helluva job)— I'd guess an indifferent or a 'you gotta learn to suck it up' sort of parent is needed to help things along. Or, just as bad, an over-sheltering parent. The parental game seems to be rather similar to a tightrope act.
And, freely contradicting myself, I'll add there may be some psychological issue that, combined with the above-mentioned, brought Marigold here.
Really it could be all, some or none of these things. People, they're complected-like, you know? Even the ones who aren't real.
-
Soooo many variables here - where to begin?
It depends on a lot of things beyond her self-assuredness when she started school. She may have been well adjusted at home, then early on gotten the reputation as "the kid who eats paste" or some such thing. Merciless teasing can ensue, and depending on how she handles it, it can lead to problems (or not).
Another problem often occurs when you move, especially if it's not at a transition year (in the middle of grade school or high school, for example). You're cast into a tightly knit social group as an outsider. The amount of self confidence you have is immaterial in a case like that.
She may have had a circle of good friends (based on gaming or something) that she hung with which split up when they all went to college, leaving her alone.
While the family life may have contributed to her current state, it isn't the only source of problems like this. Even in a loving, supportive family, there can be oversheltering so that a child winds up immature for his or her age, and essentially becomes disfunctional all on their own!
Edit: Ninja'd by Raoullefere! Curses!
-
I'm betting on only child, parents both work in professional jobs (Dad probably in computers or IT, since we heard her talk about a website for his company). Grew up doing a lot of stuff by herself, got teased when she made blunders growing up, learned to keep to herself. Maybe got hooked on computers/video games in HS, got Momo as a graduation present, moved in with Angus because parents wanted her out of the house. I'd also bet that Mom and Dad may have been either scatterbrained or packrats.
...not, of course, that I'm basing this from personal experience, of course. Some of it is from observations of friends and relatives. (Okay, the only child part is mine.)
-
Actually, Dad's probably not in computers or IT, else why have Marigold do his website? He probably runs a small business, and got her to do this for the increased traffic and to put her on the payroll.
-
got Momo as a graduation present
In 1298 Pintsize said that Momo-tan is Sony's newest model, so if she's a graduation present then either Marigold is a recent graduate or Sony has let their AnthroPC line stagnate. 1534 made it sound like college was a while back.
