    Also Walky’s bachelor future sounds awesome. Wonder how my boyfriend would feel if I dumped him for a house with a waterslide and a ball pit. I…I will keep my brand-name soap though.

        As awesome as Amber is, I’d have placed Roz, if anyone, as Fata Morgana, assuming we’re thinking the same Fata Morgana. No one else is as openly manipulative as Roz is, and with her job, you can’t deny its fitting.

      So it’ll run me $3k or so to get 15k balls to fill one of my 10×10 ft. bedrooms with balls. Sweet. It’ll probably cost less if I can swing a bulk discount. With quantities like that, you should be able to haggle down the price.

      There are a couple other things you’ll need, though. One is the infant doorway fence to keep all the balls from spilling out. The other you’ll have to hack: you’ll need a movable, round fence (chicken wire?) that’s about 3-4 feet across and at least a foot higher than the average ball depth. If you lose something in the balls, you’re going to have to work the fence down towards the bottom, and toss the balls from inside the fence to outside to dig your way back to the floor. The fence needs to be pretty rigid.

      Cleaning is going to be a royal pain, and I hope you don’t have pets. You could lose cats in there. Roaches are going to love it.

          Well, she’s been drawn plenty since Willis’ major art upgrade in the middle of IW, both with and without glasses, but that was after she got her hair cut after getting out of college. Hotter long hair + glasses + upgraded art = sudden peverse sexual lust.

    Walky is going to turn out to be asexual, at least in sexual preference, in this universe for two reasons: 1) He showed no interest in Dorothy until she mentioned Dexter & MM, so the attraction may not necessarily be physical. 2) Willis is writing.

    Not saying Walky/whoever can’t happen, just saying he may have no sexual turn-ons to speak of.

            I’ve read It’s Walky three times now. Somewhere in the back of my sleep-deprived mind I was thinking of Ethan and Robin “becoming”, for a relative definition of the word, gay, and of Willis saying that in simplest terms he made them so in order to avoid repeating plots. So I just sort of figured, y’know, asexuality is a sexual preference that hasn’t popped up in Willis’s writing yet, and it’d be a way to mix things up.

            I dunno. At 18, immaturity is all about making light of sex, and Walky doesn’t like girls yet and yet likes to act immature. And, as I mentioned, lack of sex life does not automatically mean lack of romantic life.

            Did I mention I had slept on average four hours a night for four straight days when I wrote that? No? Because it should clear up anything that still doesn’t make sense about my argument, and I’ll admit it probably isn’t a very good one. But I feel like less of an idiot trying to justify it.

            I got two hours of sleep last night. Yeah.

            When I said he doesn’t like girls, I meant he says he doesn’t like girls. But because I admitted my argument was flimsy it doesn’t make a difference. Still, didn’t want to be misinterpreted.

    Ah. Walky likes girl, but he hates that he likes girls. I had a phase like that. He never had anything in common with the girls he knew. The women who care in his life all seem to want to make him “grow up” faster than he’s willing to. Or at least that’s how it feels for him. Walky’s clinging to his youth. He denies his urges. And then meets Dorothy.

    Walky probably didn’t even glanced at Dorothy until he heard that she liked his favorite cartoon. Reality shatters.

    The next day, though, Walky’s hormones are back to normal, and he had rationalize the whole thing, remembering how he “doesn’t even like girl, it was a fluke, etc.” He’s not trying to fool Billie as much as himself.
