The other day while trying to think up hypothetical surnames for mel flightoftheconchords (not for any particular reason, just as a thought exercise) I accidentally stumbled into a crack theory about her parentage but I initially got my math completely wrong so now I'm struggling to come up with a way for it to still make sense

#she would have to be [redacted]'s secret unknown child from a previous fling #but the question is. what would have to happen or change for them to be able to get to know each other #the way im currently conceptualizing it would give mel a similar backstory to another character but i feel like her attitude toward #her father would kind of be the opposite. mel tends to idolize men and resent other women #(maybe a bit of an internalized misogyny moment? 😔)#so i think if/when she figures out who her father is in this scenario she puts him on a pedestal from afar #not realizing that he kinda sucks as a person. and resents her mother from keeping her from him #through this lense there would also be something maybe kinda freudian about her relationship with doug #which in some ways also suits her. that woman can have so many issues. more than you would ever think #but damn... im really making her so much more fucked up in this vision of mine and it all just started from #'hey you know who else was a brown-haired psychologist from new york who can be a bit of a creep sometimes?'
