Life in the Room [Photo Stories!]

Loki appears to be at least marginally impressed by the "practical magic" of fire.

But then... oh boy! Another Addams clan cousin to deal with? I almost feel sorry for the Merry Prankster.

Almost.

One more member joins the Power Team to protect the fair Addams damsels from the predations of Gaston.

Loki would deny being even marginally impressed by anything some mortal magic user has to show. Because, of course, he has standards to maintain.

Gaston is really going to regret playing around with Ophelia's affections...

Loki seems to be in for some headaches. This seems amusing.

You connect with one Addams, you connect with them all.

One day, they really are going to set the house on fire...

They had better not!

"Cousin John!" 
"Alright, Pipsqueak?"
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you!" 


"Are you here to save my sister from her folly?" 
"...Mind runnin' that one past me?" 
"...Her terrible beau." 
"Another one?" 
"Perhaps I better explain." 
"I think you should."

I think Ophelia kinda had it all coming, but it's so nice to see the whole clan trying to help her! Well, minus Monday...

Monday just likes causing trouble for people. Granted, had someone else done it, she would be there helping to fix it. But her trouble, she will gladly sit back and watch the clean up.

"And here's the Viper herself." 
"Cousin. A pleasure." 
"Stop lyin'. Been hearing a lot of stories about you, Monday." 
"And have you always believed such ridiculous stories?" 
"Only when I know the person they're about." 
"Why, Cousin, don't you trust me?" 
"If I did, you'd only be disappointed."

Not the best of chums, these two, I take it. As they say, you can choose your friends, but you can't choose family.

[neon_jellyfish]

Maybe she wouldn't be disappointed, but she would definitely betray that trust...

Oh, no, they get on quite well. Viper is sort of an affectionate nick-name from John. He doesn't trust Monday - she'd be annoyed if he did - but he doesn't dislike her.

Maybe she wouldn't be disappointed, but she would definitely betray that trust...

Well... obviously, is her response to that.

"Oh, how wonderful! Sera told me it was you who had arrived!" 
"Yeah, the Pipsqueak told me about your new bloke. Sounds... charmin'." 
"Oh, he is, he's absolutely my heart's true twin." 
"...Still not gettin' sarcasm, are you, love?"

[davidd]

Or does Ophelia simply choose to overlook sarcasm?

Or does Ophelia simply choose to overlook sarcasm?

Honestly, here I would say you're right on that. It helps that Cousin John is sarcastic a lot, so she's probably used to filtering it.

"Bloody hell." 
"You've finished checking in, then?" 
"You told me it was bad. Didn't think you meant like that." 
"Our cousins have always been... themselves." 
"Like you haven't?" 
"What did you tell Ophelia." 
"That I'd need to meet the bloke, go through the traditional duels with him. She was happy." 
"Of course." 
"So how much of him have you left in one piece for me to do that?" 
"Oh Cousin, you know me too well."

[davidd]

Ha ha! That Ophelia, she's such a traditionalist!

[werepuppy]

Ha ha! That Ophelia, she's such a traditionalist!

We must follow the old ways, believes Ophelia, they've lasted for good reason

"Foreshadowing is not proper character development."
"I get it, you didn't like the series finale of Game of Thrones, there's got to be something else you can talk about."
"... "


"Kid, your Houndour seems a bit too interested in me."
"He's a German Shepherd, not a Pokémon."
"Well can you get it away from me?"
"Yeah, come here, Bernard."
"WHEN DID WE GET A PIKACHU THAT COULD TALK?!"
"During your bitching about the Game of Thrones finale."
