Okay dudes since The Walking Dead has like a million spin-offs, why not do the same with Stranger Things, but like, a crossover comedy thing? Jonathan and Argyle still working for Surfer Boy's Pizza, but like, they move to Wisconsin and work at a franchise with Hyde from That 70's Show as their new boss! And they drive around in the delivery van exorcising ghosts part-time like Scooby-Doo or The Ghost Busters? Duuuude!

1970s.

Ah, those were the days...

...not that we were there, of course. But we can sure as sugar pretend: listen to dusty vinyl records, grow our hair in all manner of styles, write on typewriters, watch films from the innovative "New Hollywood" directors such as Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Barbara Kopple, and Francis Ford Coppola if we're feeling artistic, neigh, intellectual (or sit down with Star Wars, Jaws, Rocky, and Saturday Night Fever if we're not), go to a lot of protests, recall our most grisly, harrowing memories from 'Nam, wear high-waisted trousers, and try to sneak into Fleetwood Mac's ever destructive, irresistibly sexy inter-band drama. 

In short, there was a lot happening in the 1970s, or indeed, the #70s, all of it big, bold, colorful, yet earthy, and very often brilliant. It was a decade of immense cultural, political, and societal change, much of it for the better, and much of it that, at the very least, continues in spirit to our own day. The 70s is not such a period of time, indeed, but a state of mind.

i’m sorry but I can never take the “omg the age difference between Angel & Husk” arguments seriously (either those bringing up how they’re both centinarians in the afterlife OR those who genuinely think the age gap is a dealbreaker) because like, even THE least generous take on this HAS to acknowledge that Angel is in his THIRTIES. LIKE! This is what y’all sound like when we don’t address that first & foremost:

I have a few brief hours to name this baby jumping spider/persian cat spitten thing I'll have as a sidekick in the next game:

It has to be ADORABLE. He's black, pink, and iridescent turquoise and about the size of a medium-large housecat -- 12 pounds or so.

Help!

Ideas I've had:

Cookie

Gumbo

Bus

Muffin

Daisy

Peaches

Pot Pie

Queenie

Jellybean

Pixie

Skittle

Pudding

Leaning toward Daisy or Pudding.
