“Don’t tell me I mixed up salt with sugar.” (probably in coffee or something)

“Okay,” Tony gasped hoarsely in between hard coughs.  “I’ll just…suffer in silence.”  He let out another long series of coughs, but the corners of his mouth were turned up in a smirk, and he was looking at Carlos with a merry gleam in his eyes.

Carlos snorted softly and reached to take the offending cup of coffee away. “You want me to make you a new one?” he asked.

“That depends,” Tony grinned without coughing this time, “are you going to run a sample of it through the chem analyzer before you give it to me?” He was laughing silently, kind of enjoying Carlos’s unintentional knack of breaking him out of a rut.

Carlos smiled sheepishly, glancing away. “Uh… would you like me to?” he asked. It was a joke, obviously, but Carlos was playing along. Maybe he’ll do it just to make sure Stark knew that it hadn’t been on purpose… Carlos didn’t know what the hell happened. He suspected his own cup was also compromised.

Tony flashed a fond grin at Carlos and chuckled.  “Either you’re stumped on something, have one of your not-fully-formed ‘Eurika’ ideas, or someone has become your latest distraction.  Which one is it?” He asked teasingly.

“Huh?” Carlos asked. “Oh, no, I was just wondering if I have to make myself a new cup too. Probably… heh. I like my sugar.” What did Stark mean by ‘someone’?

“I’ll, uh… take this and be back in a bit,” he then told his boss, lifting the cup in illustration.

Carlos Appreciation Week – Headcanon Day

So, one of my old, I’ve-been-kicking-this-around-since-August-2013 ideas is that Carlos is one of the most popular guest speakers with the local Girl Scout troops. I feel like this headcanon (why did we ever stop saying “fanon” anyway?) is fairly well-supported, now that we know that Carlos is actually Professor The Scientist, and that the Girl Scouts of Night Vale are slightly less eldritch & a bit more hands-on that their Boy Scout counterparts.

I imagine that most of Carlos’ lessons start out perfectly normal (“Today, we’re going to learn about rocketry!”) but quickly get sidetracked (“Well, heh, we’d need quite a bit more thrust than the standard kit provides to break the atmosphere.”) into something that involves a… few more explosions than originally planned (“Wow! That was a MUCH larger detonation than our hypothesis predicted! Let’s see if we can duplicate that result!”)

Obviously, the troop adores him.

A Papyrus Headcanon:

insanelyadd:

Papyrus’ sentry station, you know, 

That one.

Looks like it does because Papyrus is just extremely dedicated to a pun. If you call Papyrus in front of the station he’ll inform you that his station is built out of cardboard, using rotini noodles as screws. And that his station is made of “cardboardhydrates”. What if, he built it out of such poor building material just because he was so dedicated to the pun.

Sans? He throws around puns all the time, no grace, no setup, so forced. Sans is all about the opportunistic moment for a pun. Papyrus? He will make something, and wait. Wait for months even, for someone to ask about it so he can finally unleash his pun. Papyrus is all about the build-up and payoff.

Oh no, mun I’m so sorry.

((honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever even met him. I just went with my brother to call on what we thought was his house (he’d moved and we didn’t know it) and I’ve been following the social media thread instead of going to bed.

I said as much on the thread, but I am sorry to hear the news and I hope his family can begin the journey to peace and understanding regarding what’s happened.

I personally believe in an afterlife. I really do believe that our spirits continue even if the body can no longer house them. And it is my belief that the pain doesn’t end just because he died. However, he is no longer physically tied to worldly woes and if he allows it, I do believe that he can get the help and healing he needs as he continues his spiritual journey.

((gonna sign off for now and try to get some sleep. I have work tomorrow. I’ll check and see if anything’s developed with my brother’s friend then… I really do hope that things are alright and I hope he’s talking to someone, or will be soon.
