Again, there is absolutely zero reason to believe that’s the case.
Thag Simmons
Well at least it’s extremely plausible for Walky and Sal to have a half-brother only a year or so older than them that they’re completely unaware of despite Linda still being on decent terms with his father.
BBCC
Right? And Linda doesn’t strike me as a ‘abandon her new baby’ type. She’d want to make sure the baby grows up by her standards.
And god, out of all her kids, you expect me to believe she’d abandon the white one?
BorkBorkBork
No. But I’d expect that she would have lingering resentment that was unintentionally aimed at her new family, if her husband discovered her infidelity because of that pregnancy and divorced her. And constantly be pushing her children and expecting them to meet the standard of where she came from.
Even so, I can’t imagine a scenario in which the older son stays with the working career-focused father and isn’t even told who his mother is, or is told that someone else is his father. Especially with them being relatively close distance-wise and staying in touch. That’s a real Parent Trap-style scenario, without the extreme circumstances that make the “Parent Trap” scenario plausible.
BBCC
Especially because she’d still want to make sure Tony was meeting those standards himself. And he’d unquestionably be her favourite child, she’s not leaving him entirely with his dad and the woman he grew up knowing as ‘mom’.
BorkBorkBork
Dang, should’ve read like one comment below mine.
Thag Simmons
I’m sure that the interactions between Linda, Chuck and Anthony reflect the sort of turbulent relationship dynamics you’d expect to be necessary for there to only be a year gap between her children by her first husband and her second.
Leadsynth
Do we know what year Tony is? Couldn’t he be a junior or senior?
BBCC
Tony’s a sophomore iirc.
HueSatLight
Walky calls him an underclassman, so if he’s right, Tony’s a sophomore.
like, is there any rule saying that he can’t be both?
maybe he’s like the entity from Smile, and wears people as “masks” :p
BBCC
Thank you, Willas.

What chu talkin’ bout Willis?
VicMortimer
So Charles is Tony’s dad then?
Taffy
No, Hank is.
Clif
You can see the family resemblance.

Ya gotta pick your headcanon battles carefully.

When you start firing those headcanons, friendly fire is always a possibility.
No, I don’t know what that means either.

You might be referencing the Fanfic Wars. I heard those got very bad. (When AO3 finally joined in, the destruction increased exponentially.)

I am completely unfamiliar with the Fanfic Wars, but sure, that must have been what I was inadvertently referencing.
Fire headcanons on stun.

Tony and Beef (who is Linda’s son) switched at birth, no doubt.

but Tony’s dad had his penis inside Linda!

Lol. I love you felt the need to comment on this.

Either this was some type of deliberate Easter egg with a prize for finding it.
Or …your OCD might require I shut the F up and privately mail it so you can edit reality.
I really love that she found someone who actually gives her a reason to smile, not someone who just tells her to smile more to make themselves more happy. This also doesn’t seem creepy like some unwanted compliments on the street can feel.
I am always horrible at knowing whether or not it is appropriate to compliment strangers or if it seems weird. Normally it is someone whose hair looks fantastic for the day or if someone is wearing a really neat shirt or outfit that I pay them a compliment “in the wild”.
Having been on the receiving end once or thrice, to me it feels appropriate and weird. But I appreciate voluntary weirdness. I wish I were as good at noticing and complimenting strangers who make my day a little nicer by being themselves.
I still occasionally give compliments to strangers, but I try to do that while keeping them in security. Usually while I’m walking away or otherwise clearly not in their space.
hopefully she doesn’t have to hold herself back with genuine smiles, tony might actually be attracted to ‘grumpy’ ppl unless he’s somehow saying something as a passive aggressive jab to some “shallow girls who smile at him” or so or whatever b/c being told ‘you smile too much’ by someone that barely knows you would be almost equally as annoying

noooo Sarah, he doesn’t want the smile, quick, think of Joyce! wait… why are you smiling more!? ~<3

I’m beginning to understand why Walkyverse Sal called him her soulmate if that’s his type.
Charles Phipps
This Tony could Sal’s sibling, though, if Linda is their mom.

linda is not tony’s mom
Yumi
This will not stop people from bringing it up.
See, I’ve learned!
Furie
Yeah, it’s obviously all a mislead until Tony is bleeding out and he’s all “Linda” and Sal is all “How do you know that name?”
Charles Phipps
Wow, you have the same name as the cartoonist!
🙂
NGPZ
just a coincidence, pretty sure
Reltzik
Probably.
So anyhow, let’s talk about more about this Linda-as-Tony’s-Mom theory!
Thag Simmons
Could the Witness Protection Program be involved somehow?
Nymph
omg wait… is Tony actually Mike? ?

Impossible. Jennifer is Mike.

Same. ^^ I kind of feel like this is one of the few genuine “dating smiles” we’ve ever seen out of Sarah. Also, daaaaamn you are smooth, Tony. XD

Nah, Joyce just makes these terms up.

We called it POS-ing, until that led to some messy mistakes.

I love the effort Willis put in to the skunk wallpaper.
Puppeteer Nessus
Seconded!
Rectilinear Propagation
I really want to know how he landed on “fancy skunks” for the pattern.
Nymph
Two decision wheels, one with adjectives, one with animals. It was almost “constipated geese” so let’s all be grateful the universe spared us.
Clif
Wait. We could have had constipated geese?
Damn you, Willis.
Wizard
Looks more like “random animals”. I see one skunk, a possible second skunk, a chicken, and whatever that is mostly covered by Tony’s speech bubble.

This Tony is a lot more likeable than Walkyverse Tony. She’ll get to Arnold eventually, but Tony’ll do fine in the meantime.
Charles Phipps
This Tony feels like he is utterly annoyed everyone tries to make him Flash Thompson.
“I am done with superhero bullshit.”
No wonder Sarah likes him.
