"What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

Time Enough

Time Enough

For some reason I imagine Lovecraft and Tobia being like Mark and Jez from the Peep Show during there years together.

Tobias:"I want four harlots with me today"

Lovecraft: "Four Harlots, Tobias? Four? That's insane"

Also Joe Steele is definitely Alan Johnson.

"It's a good day to die, when you know the reason the why."

- Last words of early Space Force pioneer George Washington Heinlein before his shuttle exploded upon atmospheric reentry.

Did some reading and found out Heinlein's family fought in the Revolutionary War. So his existence is somewhat plausible.

Damn. It felt more like something you'd been building with the rest of the story, the guy's kinda like an avatar of the RU of this period.

I was leaving Tobias diberately mysterious before, but I finally decided to flesh him out because he was so darn interesting. I always intended Lovevraft to be his successor and for him to die around 1920, but the HOST idea came from a doodling in my ideas notebook I jot random stuff in. A lot of stuff I totally plan out in advance, but the majority of this TL is ad-libbed, chapter by chapter.

I'm good at coming up with a new idea and then weaving it into already existing canon to keep it consistent.

The Rasputin references made me think of something that entertains me for no reason:

A 1960s band named "Union Love Machine."

I have no idea why, but I find it hilarious.

I just realized how screwed up Archer would be ITTL? Mallory even makes derogatory statements about the Irish! In an actual episode. (The one with the Irish lady who thinks Archer knocked her up.) Although 2 of the suspects to be Archer's biological father are Italian or Slavic. (The Italian Guy and Jakov, which really should be Yakov but that's neither here nor there.)

Ya know in relation to this, I know there are the It's Always Sunny memes in this thread but I would be all kinds of down for a "WMIT Reimagined Pop Culture/Crossover" thread. Because I ain't gonna lie, I do have this one idea brewing in my head...

That's a great idea! Speaking of IASIP memes, get ready for some weird ones....

Not gonna lie, seeing this image reminded me how rapey and psychopathic Dennis is in the show and how he would fit right in in the RU.

Now I'm just thinking of the episode where Dennis does a terrible British accent.
Aka: The Blind Christian Gentleman chastising young Michael Custer.
