W-what is this?
It is what the title says. A Timeline in a Week Or So.
Oh. So you can't resist jumping in the bandwagon, can't you?
I'm actually doing it only so I can have an excuse to do this silly thing with the fake dialogue. All the cool kids are doing it.
So what does that title in spanish mean anyway?
It's a pun on a particular play in the game of
tute, but it refers to the number of years the timeline is going to cover (more or less).
Wait, isn't tute a card game?
Indeed. Although I've always been more of a
brisca or
escoba man.
Oh, god. This is not what I think it is, right?
Yup. It totally is.
You are doing a Shuffling The Deck timeline with spanish presidents from the democratic period. You monster.
Indeed I am. There's only six of them anyway (plus an extra character that will be revealed in due time).
Hence those playing cards in the title, er, card.
Yes. Not only that, I am totally copying the card-themed characters gimmick from Lord Roem and Meadow's original TL. But with a spanish deck, of course. I couldn't title it Shuffling the Deck because I wanted a title in spanish, and the spanish language already has a single verb for that,
barajar; and
TLIAD: Barajando la baraja sounds very silly and redundant.
Soo, can we expect the usual ration of silliness, subverted clichés and ironic fates?
You bet. Plus a small helping of alternate World Cups for your trouble.
When are you going to finish No Spanish Civil War.
Don't think about endings, man. Endings are a prison for the soul, man. Think of the path. The path is the path, not the ending. Namaste.
Whatever. At least finish this one, will you?
This time I have already written half of it before posting.
