Me: "No exceptions. There's porn for everything."

torrain: "Doomtown?"

Me: "Pssh, I've seen it. It had Whateleys."

torrain: "Gaah!" [slight pause] "Alright, Deadlands/Dalek slashfic involving Whateleys. That can't exist."

Me: "ALL MANITOU ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE DALEKS. PENETRATE! CONSECRATE! PENETRATE! CONSECRATE!"

[pause for application of mental floss]

torrain: "I love you deeply and passionately and I'm sure the caterer will be deeply disappointed, but, right now, one of us needs to die for this."

Me: "I vote you."

torrain: "I was hoping you'd volunteer."

Me: "I'm not the one in pain."

torrain: "I'll feel better if I kill you."

Careful, you're invoking Qantum Fetish Theory...

...does a Fetish change once it is observed?

...'roadkill necrophilia' gets hits.

So does 'roadkill necrophila xxx' (though that has less on carrion beetles), albeit only one.

I didn't click. It seemed safest.

"I'll feel better if I kill you."

I'm with torrain on this one. You broke my brain.

Whateleys? He asked in horrified anticipation?

[torrain.livejournal.com]

The creative team of Deadlands/Doomtown (apparently quite aware that the game could also have been called Cthulhu and Sixguns without missing a stylistic beat) took a degenerate little three-person (four-person?) family called the Whateleys from H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Dunwich Horror".

They then turned them into the kind of festering, corrupt, and sadly wide-spread (if not always properly branching) family tree to be found this side of a soap opera, gave them all the kind of upbringing you could expect from a marriage between Ed Gein and Lucretia Borgia, taught them to play poker with rules cribbed striaght out of the Necronomicon, shined them up enough that they could pass for not-immediately-lynchable in public, and set them loose on unsuspecting PCs and innocent civilians.

The Whateleys *rock*.

...having just been informed that you know who they are, I feel a bit of a fangirlish twit.

(On the plus side, I actually went looking now, and I can't find any of it. The hypothesized Whateley stuff. With or without Daleks.)

I've read both Deadlands and "The Dunwich horror" and I swear the name drew a complete blank for me. Of course I've never flipped thru any of the Doomtown stuff. So thanks...

Yeah, but it was a pretty good description. I think I may have to quote it on the new official Doomtown site. The one I've been building for three years without any actual progress.

But, y'know, Fineas still better.

During the time The Lord of the Rings movies came out, I learned, assimilated, and utterly believed Rule 34. It's the only way to be safe: Awareness is key.

It sounds like you two are made for each other. Which is fortunate, not only for you both, but also for the two other people in the world who apparently dodged a bullet.

could not have said it better myself .p
