And thanks to lupin I now want Bart to end up as Jane's intern.

XDDD

If he does accept, it'll be so bitter sweet for her because her last intern was peter katoptron

He'd totally be happy to lab-monkey around as long as he's not the test subject (often.)

Oh no, Jane would totally ask first, and she'd probably be a test subject alongside him.

Bart will totally regret accidentally mentioning he outran a photon torpedo.

Well, he didn't really, it was more that the circuit delay and his speed gave him enough of a head start to circle the earth and have it blow up the launcher.

Jane: [gasping] Tell me more.

Bart: I have an evil clone. He's a dick. End of story.

Jane: /nods okay, i'll hold him in a gravitational cell until we decide what to do about him

Bart: Honestly, before he showed back up, I thought we'd managed to work things out. Maybe it wasn't the same one.

Jane: There is a possibility he was from before you worked things out too.

David's producers are TOTALLY going to encourage David go on a stream to raise awareness for the show.

Churby Bart totally got Kon to go pick up a brand-new controller, mint in the box for that.

Kon and Bart, watching weird movies, playing games, and playing with goats, as well as falling asleep on each other

And they both are mildly sad not to have enough yard for goats. GW Wolf

Yesss

Spookitty: Bart is the absolute best boy. David will tell the stream about the production history of the controller.

And how it's an example of quality testing at its best because the QA person found the original left joystick was not receiving input directly so it got fixed.

He's used to people with powers that suck. Greta and Raven were amazing like that.

All these people who are being considerate of the psychometry makes David so happy

Well, giving David a migraine that first time made Bart especially careful. So David and his roommate who doesn't actually have to touch things to move them will be the only ones handling David's controller for when he games with them.

It's fine that they touch it. He can't pick up other people's history from things they touch. Only the object itself. and getting used and loved is perfectly fine. Just don't give him one that has been in someone' mouth or something weird

This is Bart. He freaks out.

David will be happy to explain it properly

Also, he has some really icky deductions about certain stains on the books when he memorized the public library.

Yeah, David can't do public libraries anymore. Or public lots of things. Not without gloves.

I see David really getting into hand-crafted everything.

Especially RECENTLY handcrafted. Things have an identity starting from when it became whole. Repairs don’t change an inherent thing tho.

Someone needs to make him a nice sweater starting from the wool.

Jane knit him a sweater for Christmas. It counts as new enough

I'm just imagining all the care that would flow with a single crafter from carding and spinning on.

Sadly the sense of self of the item would come when the material was more completed and it would more identify as the completed whole. But given time, and practice and future canon updates he might be able to get down to that minutiae.

Shame.

Now I'm wondering how much my childhood teddy-bear resents me not sleeping with her after I actually hunted down someone who could restuff and repair her.

David says that it loves you for loving it enough to do that. And now it can watch over you from elsewhere. It understands.

You have no idea how few people do jointed bear repair.

Geez that has to be hard to hunt down

I got lucky that my parents knew someone who made custom jointed stuffed animals. Amusingly, the bear got named Pat Pend because it had a cloth tag on the foot with that abbreviation.

Awwww

Just another piece of evidence of how bad I am at naming things.

Not at all. My husband still has one of his childhood bears. It’s named Cuddly.

We never did name the Chicago Bear.
