Lunch of DOOOOOOM.

[xyzzysqrl]

I present to you, without comment, a conversation sirkalen and I had over lunch.


Sqrl: I really should resume Legaia coverage.
Woof: Yes. You should.
Sqrl: Mmmh. *eats idly* I wonder what we'll end up naming the big buff old martial arts guy.
Wuff: *in definitive tones* Mr. T.
Sqrl: *sputters* I... was thinking something more in line with the Chesty's Angels motif...
Wuffenburger: Yes, but it can be Mr. T and Chesty's Angels, right?
Sqrl: *still on the Angels idea* ...like... I can name him Flower or something. I'll probably put it to a vote.
Woofelman: Well, maybe... I dunno...
Sqrl: I'll name him Mr. *HeartSymbol*! Yeah! ... Or, like... Heart Heart Angel.
Senator from Woofsylvania: Uhm. That makes me think of TenderHeart Care Bear or something. Only a six foot three heavily muscled kung-fu Care Bear that KICKS YOUR ASS.
Sqrl: If the Care Bears had been six feet tall and buff, I would have felt WAY different about them.
Wolfiepie: *eating, nods agreeably*
Sqrl: ...Of course, I had this... love/hate thing about care bears as a kid.
Woob: *looks curiously at*
Sqrl: Well... like... on the hate side, "Eeek! Small cute pink bear with a mind control ray!" And on the love side, "Mmm, small cute pink bear with a mind control ray. Mmmmm." So when the raccoony care bear cousin got involved... Mmm lots, y'know.
Wulf, tactfully ignoring this: So every time he -glares- at Chesty for being an idiot... CARE BEAR STARE!
Sqrl, absently and thoughtful: Wasn't TenderHeart the -horse- one from the movie?
Wuub: ...
Sqrl: Yeah, okay, I've shared too much.

*chuckles softly* You weren't the only one with odd thoughts about childhood animal cartoons, I assure you. We won't even go into Dusty's little ponies.

Wow. I had -so- many My Little Ponies as a kid...

...sigh. I'd like 'em back, kind of. They were -so- cute...

Also, now I am curious about detail, but not curious enough to ask in public. This is one of those things I'll have to ask if I ever see you elsewhere online.

I think you're right about TenderHeart. I think he was the "Parent Figure" for the Care Bear Cousins, and a counterpart to the character I really only remember as "Grandma Bear".

Though as long as we're recalling the movies, didn't the Cousins have entirely different origins between the first two movies? As I recall they stumbled upon them while doing something-or-other in the first movie, but in the second movie they came to Carealot with the bears in their infancy.

Ah, senator K. Len.

And here, I'd forgotten about that.

No, you can't have him.
He's mine.
So nyah.
