+ Though I'm acting like I'm in an EastEnders episode +

[vitaelamorte]

So, as you've vaguely heard from Princess Alice, there is a new event for this weekend!

This event is all about different tropes and cliches, which means of course that I need to link you all to TV Tropes, if you need any ideas. The setting of the scenes the characters are trapped in does NOT need to have anything to do with the character's canon, or even be recognizable to them. Feel free to make your wizards spunky lawyers and your fantasy heroes into bad cops walking slowly away from explosions or whatever comes to mind.

So use this post for plotting! What kind of silly roles are they going to wind up needing to fill? And what horrible things will happen to them when they don't play along? And as always, if you have any questions, the first thread will be a FAQ.

Have fun, everyone!

So, at first I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with Susan and then someone said Supernanny and it was done.

If anyone wants to:

► Work through staged/cracky/canon accurate "family" problems and learn to communicate (briefly, during this event)
► Have their "parenting" and/or "relationship" judged aloud by a Magical Nanny
► Be told that something is unacceptable, receive a time out, and have a heart-to-heart with Nanny and/or a supervised heart-to-heart with a "parent"
► or just generally flip out and throw temper tantrums (because they have no other choice but to participate)

Then we should do this.

There will be a chart, it will have appropriately patronizing stickers for good behavior.

Yes. I don't know how, but I will get in on this. It will happen.

[no_nonsense]

Eeee :D I'm sure we can come up with something. Are there any important and cliched lessons he can learn? Violence Is Not The Answer, perhaps? Or You Should Always Talk Out Your Problems?

[usskickass]

what if george and souji are mistaken for yousuke's parents y/n super awkward?

[masukukunai]

what trope is there for fucking your dad??????

[usskickass]

well that doesn't have to be the real cause of their issues just. it's kind of hilarious because in reality that IS what's going on >_>

also thisone

[eatsyourscience]

Wow, this episode of Supernanny got REALLY ADULT, REALLY FAST.

[eatsyourscience]

Okay, if the things suggested by Kelsey don't pan out (or even if they do), I am totally all for You Should Always Talk Out Your Problems, because that is not a thing Souji does. So she would be trying to convince him to do so and he's just stare at her and then his fake family members would try to stab him or something life is spiraling out of control in the Seta house halp.

omg can...kirk...be a brother to someone. can he pick on someone and poke at them and pull their hair.

[no_nonsense]

Yes he can. He should, in fact. So that he can get a time out.

[throughthedark]

Oh good god, I need in on this. Giles is, when you get right down to it, kind of an awful parental figure, but it is his thing. And it's about time he was judged on it.

[eyecatching]

...Is it horrible that I want to see this happen but with the Winchesters? /slides out.

[freetobe]

.... I am so tempted to throw either Toph the bratty blind girl in here, or coax Susan to try and supernanny the angel siblings because omg.

Like Kevin needs an excuse to whine about his life or throw temper tantrums. He's in!
