Xan and I had a fandom conversation last night about 'who was relegated to what chores' in fandoms.
Some of my faves included:
Xigbar on maintenance detail. Light needs changing? Hard to reach place needs dusting? Spider on ceiling? Hairline crack that could cause water damage? No prob if you defy gravity.
Demyx as group chef. He'd be flighty enough for being creative about it and energetic enough to keep up the pace for even a full 13 (14) pre-Oblivion dinner. He'd be making something, open the fridge, see some random useful condiment and throw it in.
Vexen making the beds and changing towels. Someone that anal retentive probably can do military corners better than the military.
Heavy on Grocery detail: YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH THE BIG MAN PUSHING THE CART. It extends beyond Payload.
But we land on Soldier. I said he'd prolly make Scout 'scrub the latrine'. She said yard work. And that is when we realized OMG, SAM'S MUM IS A SOLDIER.
GabrielMourning (11:43:38 PM): i'd put soldier as yardwork
Xemnash (11:44:32 PM): SHOVEL
Xemnash (11:44:35 PM): It works
GabrielMourning (11:44:55 PM): Plus can't you totally see him waging war on squirrels or something?
Xemnash (11:45:07 PM): OH GOD.
Xemnash (11:45:21 PM): "GET DOWN FROM THERE NUT EATING MAGGOTS!"
GabrielMourning (11:46:02 PM): He'd have like an incrdibly zen flower and vegetable garden that he tends to diligently wearing a big floppy hat and god help anyone or anything that messes with it.
Xemnash (11:46:35 PM): ...th...there now NEEDS to be TF2 chore day fanfiction with Soldier having an epic war with squirrels.
GabrielMourning (11:47:01 PM): this is totally inspired by my mother. who wages affectionate war with our squirrels
Xemnash (11:47:36 PM): Oh GOD SHIT FUCK MAN. Your mum YELLS at those things about getting into the birdfeeder.
GabrielMourning (11:47:40 PM): Soldier running out there in his bathrobe and huge gun, threatening the squirrels.
GabrielMourning (11:48:01 PM): (my mother standing out n the backyard in her pink bathrobe yelling at the squirrels is one of my favorite sights)
Xemnash (11:48:22 PM): *sporfle* Oh shit your mum is Solly.this made my day.
Xemnash (11:48:25 PM): ....night.
Sam get your mum a helmet. The world needs it.
kingdom hearts,
