...And bonks a couple agents on the head as it goes.
So Kitty and I were gigglesnorting over how badly movies from our childhood abuse our feels, and I suddenly came up with a potential thing:
A therapy clinic for abused feels.
Is that covered by FicPsyche already, or could this potentially become a thing in future missions for people?

...quite possibly the greatest human incarnation of an egotistical badfic author that cameras could ever record.
No, really.
Apparently, after the episode aired, it blew up the social media like crazy, to the point where I feel it may become a meme soon, if it isn't already.
It's people like the two represented in this video that reminds me why I so greatly enjoy MSTing badfics.
Because people like this REALLY DO EXIST, and their reactions to the littlest things are just amazing. -

Yeah, I can remember the days when I was a fresh little nut job set loose on Fanfiction.net. The first critical review I got sparked a reaction somewhat like this.
Fortunately, now the nut job knows how to take constructive criticism. -

Just make sure the ...descendant... of Slorp doesn't get anywhere near the Cafeteria again. Maybe DoSAT can rig the containment field or something, if there's going to be one.

They undergo mitosis every once in a while as long as there is food nearby, so you can never truly be free of the infestation so long as there is one still left alive.

"Just the place for a Slorp!" the agent cried,
As he ladled meatloaf with care;
And lifted each scoop on its perilous ride
To be sure it went here - not there.
"Just the place for a Slorp! I have said it twice:
That alone makes it better than stew.
Just the place for a Slorp! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true."

Slorp's only shown up once in the PPC stories proper, so if he, or his progeny in that case, gets a sequel, it would just be an extension of that story, and it would probably still work in a narrative sense.
Then again, if everyone and their mini starts writing stories about finding Slorp or Slorp derivatives in everything, then it would get old really fast. Once or twice, and it's still a novelty. If it gets to ten or twelve times, people would have gotten tired of seeing it long ago. But I don't think writing one more story's going to make Slorp overplayed just yet. -

Even if a prospective weaponsmith does manage to get a Slorp sample, which would involve a probably-unsanctioned form of timestream-crossing, throwing it onto a Sue or otherwise using it to destroy a Sue would just give the Slorpling more biomass.
Slorp is made of Sue-flesh. Slorp is capable of subsuming other creatures and gaining their abilities. Those two points, when combined, would make a Slorp-weapon a bigger danger to the continuum than the Sue would have been by herself. At least a Sue usually won't run around devouring anything in its path. And gods help us if the Slorp-copy starts subsuming canon characters!
So, yeah. Slorp-launching weapons=Bad Idea. -

I'm pretty sure that if they weren't so sure that they were going to get mauled by other agents those conspiracy theorists would imply that a lot of the PPC's past emergencies were Flower conspiracies.
Okay, some of them could have involved Flowers, but that doesn't mean all of them were in on it. Right? Riiiiiight? -
