15, 24, 27, 28, 32, 39, and 43 for Roscoe? Plus A, E, and H?
YESS the best clowny friend!!
15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?
Kind of both? He's very quick to react emotionally, but is also always very eloquent with his words and gives nearly every sentence a dramatic, hammy flair.
24. Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?
Yes, as long as there aren't any children in the vicinity - and as long as everyone else near him is comfy with it. You wouldn't guess it at first, since he strives to be a gentleman (albeit very cheeky & mischievous one), but he can be a pretty horny MFer and will absolutely shower his partner/playmate with seductive advances and suggestive teases.
27. What causes them to feel dread?
He gets very scared when other Nightmares try to corrupt his system - which has happened a fair handful of times. He's so afraid that he'll lose himself and become an actual killer clown/ rogue AI. But Rags manages to snap him out of it every time, so he's starting to gain more confidence that he'll bounce back from it.
28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?
When it comes to real, genuine concerns that someone has, or baggage that they're carrying that really needs a listening ear, he would really prefer to hear the truth, because he wants to make sure the other person knows they can always rely on him to listen to them.
When it comes to people telling small fibs to try and avoid getting in "trouble" with him? Ohhh he loves that. And loves 'punishing' cheeky little liars accordingly~
32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?
It really depends on the topic, but he can always tell great jokes on the spot. He enjoys making robot puns. He also loves sharing stories about his experiences at the various carnivals he's performed at, and can kinda steal the conversation with how much of an enthusiastic storyteller he is.
39. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?
He couldn't care less about a person's perceived flaws if they have a strong heart. He will always strive to uplift people and show them that they're still capable and lovable in spite of their flaws.
Unless, of course, their flaws are genuinely cruel, selfish and bigoted personality traits. He gets irritated very easily by Karens, Boomers, and rowdy hooligans that are going out of their way to try and make other carnival attendees upset.
A) Why are you excited about this character?
I'm just really, really proud of his design and the story I've built for him. And I will always thank my subconscious for gifting him to me 👍
E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?
Fucking absolutely, we already hit it off in the first dream I had about him. I'd geek out all day about my love of clowns, robots, spooky media and goofy shit, I'd happily go to one of his performances and I'd provoke him into wrecking the shit out of me
H) What trait do you admire most?
His pure unbridled charisma. He knows he steals the show wherever he goes, and he owns it. But he uses that platform for others' enjoyment, to inspire and entertain them. I yearn for that level of confidence.

I'm gonna be honest, I actually have (some) faith in the old man. yeah, tumblr is weird and a bit hostile, but this man is not a technologically illiterate boomer, he's been on the internet longer than a lot of his fanbase has been alive, I'm sure he's seen weirder shit than whatever mcytblr has to offer
he deserves some clowning for the url business tho <3
i think he can figure it out, i don't think he's tech illiterate at all tbh- i just don't know if he has the patience or gives enough shits to stick it out and actually carve out a genuine space for himself. tumblr can be frustrating to get used to because of how different it is from most other social media sites. also i think his ideas of "im just going to spam hashtags" and "i'm just going to lurk and that's how i "win"" is just a flawed approach and it makes me giggle
also yes. the url business is goofy as hell LOL

What Your Favorite The Adventure Zone Ship Says About You

Any Characters from Inheritance - This is just the same joke as Merle and Magnus, except you post about Dream Daddy on Tumblr AND Facebook.
Deadbeat Dad/Anyone else from Inheritance - Robert is best Dream Daddy, Amnesty is best arc of The Adventure Zone. To you, these are facts.
Firbolg/Fitzroy - This is just the same joke as Taako and Magnus, but you also desire the fall of capitalism.
Fitzroy/Argo - You, Griffin, and Clint all simultaneously thought “You know what’s better than one fancy himbo fighter? Two fancy himbo fighters.”

Fitzroy/Buckminster - You have a whole blog devoted to scenes of swords under chins.
Buckminster/Leon - You think Arthurian legend can be summed up as “Several bros, sitting round a table, two feet apart from each other ‘cause the church said leave room for Jesus”.
Buckminster/Rainer - You believe behind every man’s facade is a girlfriend of immeasurable power, waiting for her time to shine.
Rolandus/Zana - You believe in big edgy backstory energy solidarity.
Rolandus/Rhodes - This is the same joke as Argo and Firbolg, except I am now suggesting “RoRho”.
Crimson (Crush/Jimson) - Your Netflix viewing habits are, exclusively, She-Ra: Princesses of Power and The Dragon Prince.

LOS ANGELES — Bill Daily, the comic sidekick to leading men on the sitcoms “I Dream of Jeannie” and “The Bob Newhart Show,” has died, a family spokesman said Saturday.
Daily died of natural causes in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Tuesday, at his home where he had been living with his son, J. Patrick Daily, spokesman Steve Moyer told The Associated Press.
Daily was not a household name but he was a household face, familiar to many millions of baby-boomer viewers in the 1960s and ’70s from two of the era’s biggest shows.
He played Major Roger Healy in all five seasons of “I Dream of Jeannie” from 1965 to 1970. Healy was the astronaut partner to Larry Hagman’s Major Anthony Nelson as both men tried to contain the antics of Jeannie, the childlike blond bombshell who lived in a bottle played by Barbara Eden.
Eden said on Twitter Friday night that Daily was “Our favourite zany astronaut.”
“Billy was wonderful to work with,” Eden said. “He was a funny, sweet man that kept us all on our toes. I’m so thankful to have known and worked with that rascal.”

— Barbara Eden (@Barbara_Eden) September 08, 2018
Just two years later he landed a very similar role and had an even longer run on “The Bob Newhart Show,” playing aviator Howard Borden behind Newhart’s psychologist Dr. Bob Hartley for 140 episodes between 1972 and 1978.
Newhart, now 89, said in a statement Saturday that he and Daily had been friends since both were trying to break into comedy in Chicago in the 1950s, and Daily was a clutch comedian that could make anything work on the sitcom.
“I called him our bullpen man. Whenever we were having trouble with a script on the show, we’d have Bill make an appearance,” Newhart said. “He was one of the most positive people I ever knew, and we’ll dearly miss him.”

Daily saved scenes instead of stealing them like other sidekicks of the era. He specialized in support, upping the comic moments of his co-stars — his Newhart character was, fittingly, a co-pilot — with a goofy warmth.
Actor James Urbaniak called him the “king of affable vulnerability” on Twitter Friday.

— James Urbaniak (@JamesUrbaniak) September 08, 2018
But like all co-stars on long-running shows, he got occasional episodes of his own, including one where he stole the role of Jeannie’s master from Hagman.
Daily was born in Des Moines, Iowa, but raised in Chicago, which he always considered his hometown. He said he was always a class clown despite losing his father while still a child.
Before acting, he tried to make it in show business as a jazz bass player, playing in a combo called “Jack and the Beanstalks.” Appearing in variety shows drew him into standup comedy and then acting.
He landed one-off roles on the oddball shows of the early 1960s like “My Mother the Car” and “Bewitched,” which brought him to the attention of the creators of “I Dream of Jeannie.”
He said his work at first was derivative — and not very good.
“I was doing Bob Hope and Bing Crosby,” Daily said in a 2003 interview with the Archive of American Television. “I was terrible. I think I was funny, but I didn’t know what I was doing.”
//
After “Jeannie” he returned to guest-starring roles, including one on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” before his old friend Newhart came seeking a sidekick.
On “The Bob Newhart Show,” Daily’s Howard Borden was the neighbour across the hall who always popped in looking to borrow or mooch something, like Kramer on “Seinfeld” two decades later.
He said the writers and his co-stars made the part a breeze.
“I just think the scripts were just written so beautifully,” Daily said in the TV archive interview. “And Bob was a brilliant straight man, he’d just give you everything.”
Daily later appeared on game shows and in reunion specials for his two shows, and in later years hung out with his co-stars on the nostalgia convention circuit.
In his last well-known role, he played a psychiatrist on the cult hit alien-puppet sitcom “Alf” from 1987 to 1989.
Daily was married three times. His third wife, Becky Daily, died in 2010 after 17 years of marriage.
He adopted two children, daughter Kimberly and son J. Patrick Daily. He had been living for several years in New Mexico with his son and son’s wife Sharon.
At Bill Daily’s request no funeral is planned. He just wanted his loved ones to have a party, which is tentatively planned for next year, the family said.

In his last well-known role, he played a psychiatrist on the cult hit alien-puppet sitcom “Alf” from 1987 to 1989.
Daily was married three times. His third wife, Becky Daily, died in 2010 after 17 years of marriage.
He adopted two children, daughter Kimberly and son J. Patrick Daily. He had been living for several years in New Mexico with his son and son’s wife Sharon.
At Bill Daily’s request no funeral is planned. He just wanted his loved ones to have a party, which is tentatively planned for next year, the family said.

LOS ANGELES — Bill Daily, the comic sidekick to leading men on the sitcoms “I Dream of Jeannie” and “The Bob Newhart Show,” has died, a family spokesman said Saturday.
Daily died of natural causes in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Tuesday, at his home where he had been living with his son, J. Patrick Daily, spokesman Steve Moyer told The Associated Press.
Daily was not a household name but he was a household face, familiar to many millions of baby-boomer viewers in the 1960s and ’70s from two of the era’s biggest shows.
He played Major Roger Healy in all five seasons of “I Dream of Jeannie” from 1965 to 1970. Healy was the astronaut partner to Larry Hagman’s Major Anthony Nelson as both men tried to contain the antics of Jeannie, the childlike blond bombshell who lived in a bottle played by Barbara Eden.
Eden said on Twitter Friday night that Daily was “Our favourite zany astronaut.”
“Billy was wonderful to work with,” Eden said. “He was a funny, sweet man that kept us all on our toes. I’m so thankful to have known and worked with that rascal.”

Just two years later he landed a very similar role and had an even longer run on “The Bob Newhart Show,” playing aviator Howard Borden behind Newhart’s psychologist Dr. Bob Hartley for 140 episodes between 1972 and 1978.
Newhart, now 89, said in a statement Saturday that he and Daily had been friends since both were trying to break into comedy in Chicago in the 1950s, and Daily was a clutch comedian that could make anything work on the sitcom.
“I called him our bullpen man. Whenever we were having trouble with a script on the show, we’d have Bill make an appearance,” Newhart said. “He was one of the most positive people I ever knew, and we’ll dearly miss him.”

Daily saved scenes instead of stealing them like other sidekicks of the era. He specialized in support, upping the comic moments of his co-stars — his Newhart character was, fittingly, a co-pilot — with a goofy warmth.
Actor James Urbaniak called him the “king of affable vulnerability” on Twitter Friday.
Aw, Bill Daily. Such a ubiquitous presence on TV during my '60s-'70s childhood. And now that I think about it, one… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
— James Urbaniak (@JamesUrbaniak) September 08, 2018
But like all co-stars on long-running shows, he got occasional episodes of his own, including one where he stole the role of Jeannie’s master from Hagman.
Daily was born in Des Moines, Iowa, but raised in Chicago, which he always considered his hometown. He said he was always a class clown despite losing his father while still a child.
Before acting, he tried to make it in show business as a jazz bass player, playing in a combo called “Jack and the Beanstalks.” Appearing in variety shows drew him into standup comedy and then acting.
He landed one-off roles on the oddball shows of the early 1960s like “My Mother the Car” and “Bewitched,” which brought him to the attention of the creators of “I Dream of Jeannie.”
He said his work at first was derivative — and not very good.
“I was doing Bob Hope and Bing Crosby,” Daily said in a 2003 interview with the Archive of American Television. “I was terrible. I think I was funny, but I didn’t know what I was doing.”
//
After “Jeannie” he returned to guest-starring roles, including one on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” before his old friend Newhart came seeking a sidekick.
On “The Bob Newhart Show,” Daily’s Howard Borden was the neighbour across the hall who always popped in looking to borrow or mooch something, like Kramer on “Seinfeld” two decades later.
He said the writers and his co-stars made the part a breeze.
“I just think the scripts were just written so beautifully,” Daily said in the TV archive interview. “And Bob was a brilliant straight man, he’d just give you everything.”
Daily later appeared on game shows and in reunion specials for his two shows, and in later years hung out with his co-stars on the nostalgia convention circuit.
