If they were driving then most likely they had identification like wallets and phones, so they probably wouldn’t have needed to further traumatize the orphan? Hopefully.
I wanna believe that’s how she’d banter with her mom, too. If she had one. Leslie hasn’t beaten the allegations since roughly her third DoA appearance.
(There’s a joke to make somewhere about Mike being dead and nickels unspent but so far’s falling flat. I’ll work on it.)
Funnily enough, if there had been a scenario in which Mike and Leslie had to post as son and mom because of Wacky Hijinks or something, they totally could’ve pulled it off
I’d make a joke about her not actually being Nobody’s mom, but I’m not deep enough into greek myths to be able to name drop Odysseus’s mother without looking it up.
I actually could name drop Jocasta without looking it up, but that would be illegible because I was in fact talking about Odysseus, who is a different dude.
Queen of Ithaca* might be good because you could say, “Who do you think you are, the queen of Ithaca?”
But then his wife was also the queen of Ithaca, so it gets confusing.
Exactly. If you have to have dead parents, then you get to make dead parent “jokes” every now and then to enjoy the way it horrifies the people around you.
Leslie really gets the problem kids in her class. She should start a school for at risk youths with exceptional abilities. Not because of anything related here, it would just be a cool thing to do.
Just after monologging “Act with Integrity. No regrets.” You have to read it for the back story. It’s not quite as iconic as Walky’s “It’s the rain” speech, but it comes close.
Early Willis wasn’t the same writer he is now. I’m going to go with a hard disagree with “he wasn’t a very good writer. ” if he hadn’t captured readers with character and story, if there was no magic there, we wouldn’t be here today.

“You’ve got the WRONG CAT“
No way, our brains went exactly the same place.
Leslie just unlocked a 30 year old Animaniacs memory.
So thanks, Leslie! Everyone needs more Bernadette Peters in their life.
leave it to Leslie to spread the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Mother® XD

That’s a hell of a Nuclear Option Ruth.
If she doesn’t get to have a mom nobody can (?)
Why is Ruth extra hot when she says that?
An edge sharpn’d by tragedy, my liege
Because we are all sick in the head. Probably because Tumblr or something.
Doesn’t count. She’s always extra hot.
…J-Jesus Christ, Ruth.
oh god was ruth the one who had to identify her parents’ bodies? do they really have children do that? or was it just an open casket funeral?
Probably Sir had to, because Ruth was a minor. Then again, Sir probably took her to look to toughen her up
… man, that’s grim
No, I mean, you’re probably right.
Shit, he totally would do that, that bastard.
If they were driving then most likely they had identification like wallets and phones, so they probably wouldn’t have needed to further traumatize the orphan? Hopefully.
Leslie is such a sweetie-pie that Ruth acting like this makes me wish a roundhouse kick from Amazi-Girl to her head.
Ruth not Leslie.
“No I must keep the maternal instincts at bay!”
sdgsd BRUTAL RUTH, COME ONNNN.
I wanna believe that’s how she’d banter with her mom, too. If she had one. Leslie hasn’t beaten the allegations since roughly her third DoA appearance.

Leslie Anticlea Bean

jesus. nice.
Queen of Ithaca* might be good because you could say, “Who do you think you are, the queen of Ithaca?”
But then his wife was also the queen of Ithaca, so it gets confusing.
*This is also where my knowledge of her maxes out
The whole story is confusion though, lean into it.
Anticlea, daughter of master thief Autolycus, granddaughter of Hermes, which explains a lot about Odysseus
Now that’s the face of someone who really really loves spite.
Jesus Christ, Ruth.
Great job, Ruth, now she knows you’re free maternal real estate!
Really though, that’s one hell of a conversational nuke.
Sometimes it’s like that! Sometimes you gotta vicariously traumatize other people with your own trauma to cope! I get it, unfortunately.
Exactly. If you have to have dead parents, then you get to make dead parent “jokes” every now and then to enjoy the way it horrifies the people around you.
That’s the trade-off.
Ruth is a Canadian with very very little patience for anyone and dead parent(s). I feel so represented.
Genuinely though, pulling the “dead parent” card to mess with somebody else’s head is always so much fun.
I’m suddenly shipping Ruth and Leslie, and I’m concerned about what this says about me.
You want Ruth to be on the other side of an inappropriate lesbian relationship with an authority figure?
Well, yes, but relationship first and Jennifer can become an authority figure after.
Leslie really gets the problem kids in her class. She should start a school for at risk youths with exceptional abilities. Not because of anything related here, it would just be a cool thing to do.
And they can fight and wear matching outfits and stuff
She can take over for those Umbrella Academy Kids. Their teacher was terrible and Elliot’s Viktor just needs a hug.
I never watched the final season because I heard it was sbad.
Look, just because you have a dullahan as a mom, doesn’t mean you can brag about it.
I hear Washington Irving had that problem.
I’d ask if she needs a hug, but she’s already proving distressingly blasé on the subject of decapitations
TEACH WITH INTEGRITY
NO REGRETS
Trucks have no place in the classroom.
I actually get this one! Ruth died in a car crash in It’s Walky right? Someone once linked a redrawn page of that moment.
And she did that to save Danny life while he was driving drunk I think? Early Willis wasn’t a very good writer if you can believe it
Yes, but it rid the world of Ruth so it wasn’t a terrible plot.
*audience boos and throws food at me*
Okay? Kind of weird and uncalled but alright.
Just after monologging “Act with Integrity. No regrets.” You have to read it for the back story. It’s not quite as iconic as Walky’s “It’s the rain” speech, but it comes close.

Not sure what it says about me that my reflexive follow-up is, “And fix the hair color, too.”
You’re not color blind?
Did Ruth take the time to pick a seat and take her coat off, only to come back over for that quip?
Of course. She’s a professional.
