TDD04 and 05: Stop Painting Little Girls by the Seashore Ya Freak Edition · 10:10am Jan 20th, 2015

You'd think someone with a kaizo brain-noodle such as myself would appreciate Lewis Carroll more, but that's not quite my bag, baby. I mean, it works for Ponky, and that's fine, but total nonsense in a self-contained vacuum doesn't quite do it for me. That's why I always gravitated towards Space Ghost Coast to Coast and sorta rolled my eyes at Cartoon Planet, I suppose. I had to do some super mayor eye-cramming when it came to Carroll's literature before even setting forth on this fic, and it kind of felt to me like the English textual equivalent of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. I mean, absurdity is fine and all, but when every other line is nothing but nonsense, then it's sort of like drinking watered-down tomato soup. Gimme something glitchy in a funny way, like Douglas Adams... which is basically $60 unpatched Assassin's Creed Unity.

Oh shit, son.

Chapters Four and Five of The Daughter Doo are up. That only took forever.

I owe special thanks, of course, to the tireless editing of Props and Pilate. It seems as though every dayum chapter of this story has been marred by countless screw-ups on my part, and these lemurs have been patiently carrying me like HBK in a match against a ladder with Razor Ramone as guest referee. But these two chapters had a special issue of their own, namely my discovering from the Ponkster himself through e-mail that I almost shattered his headcanon with one fatal move. Alas, the problem wasn't that hard to fix. It was like replacing Jurassic Park 3's Spinosaur with a Tyrannosaurus Rex at the last second. Y'know, CGI switcheroo. Like Peter Jackson reaching for toilet paper.

The sixth chapter will come out next week, I suspect. All things considered, a certain someone might be making their debut appearance before then. Or it could happen afterwards in February. But, either way, I certainly know that I will be on another plane of existence at that time. One not of sight and sound but of adoragiggles. 'Cuz the Best Year has gotta start sooner or later, and I'm not about to block the train tracks.

So, for all we know, you might be seeing some jubilant drivel from mesa during the interim. No promises, but we'll see. In the meantime, I'll leave you with a proper adaptation of all things Victorian and totally not pedopheliac.

Oh, yes. Only recently I've read the book of Alice. Even if english was my first language, I would have had difficulty, I suppose. Also, it had no Johnny Depp.

:pinkiegasp:

I may or may not have all the albums.

I tell Brak jokes in class. I have been known to break out into song - such classics as "beef log vs. cheese log" or "put your sox on mama."

I thought I was all alone in the world.

Pssst....Here's the diagram they're not showing you, buddy:

2735412 Well if you wanted the details, all you had to do was ask. Be ready for a revisiting of the basics, though. It's kind of important you understand the simple one completely first.

p.s.- Lol, the Hogwarts Houses. That's pretty good.

Lewis Carroll was a mathematician and an expert in logic. In Alice in wonderland a lot of the nonsensical things he goes on about are actually twists on pure logic, and why logic without context does't make sense. Also it contains many mathematical concepts. Like the falling down the rabbit hole, when Alice shrinks she wonders what size she will eventually be, or if she will continue to shrink indefinitely like the concept of a limit. As x approaches a limit, it will get closer, and closer, and closer, but never actually get there, it will continue to get smaller as it gets closer to the limit. In another part Alice says some nonsensical math problems like 4 × 5 = 12, which makes no sense... unless it's in base 18 notation. The Cheshire cat contains a lot of mathematical theory and non-Euclidean geometry—more abstract types of math that go way over my head. The story also has some French language puns, and a couple shots at The Church. Anyway, that's some of the hidden genius in Alice in Wonderland.

So total nonsense? I think not. It's true the story was written for a girl named Alice though.
