PONYTAIL (Repo) IN HIS 30s!!!!!!!!! here he is as part of The Flesh Curtains.

...may we see sumire meeting sophie..... red haired girls... i think they'd like each other perhaps

the girls!!! the They

(it probably wasn't actually Idia's fault)

(or was it)

some quick initial reactions to celebrate Diasomnia Day One! it felt like a bit of a short intro, but oh, what a tasting menu of things to come.

finding tiny details no one cares about ep 8932823840 klark's hair is slightly messier than louters (pink and light strands are going all over the place)

cant believe my favs from the akazaya nine are the traitors

SHE’S FINALLY COMPLETE!!!!!

She needed a new wig, and I got a replacement from BbeautyDesigns on Etsy. I waited several months for this specific wig to restock after it was recommended to me, and I’m SO glad i did. it’s an absolutely incredible color match for an early edition felicity (to the point where i didn’t even remove the leftover pin curls from her old wig - I just straightened them). the new pin curls aren’t in the perfect place or shape, but it doesn’t bother me personally, and I know i could straighten them and make new ones if i ever changed my mind.

once i got the wig, it took me some time to get around to taking the plunge to do my first re-wig and it went really smoothly! the wig was perfectly sized to go on with only minimal struggles (once I got the technique down) and it feels quite secure even without glue.

I could not be happier with this transformation - I am absolutely in love with this doll now, and I’m so excited to finally add her to the dollhouse! 😄

Was he actively using Caleb's og body post-murder?

Does PT Dib still think about That Smile™️? (The one he saw when he was sick to clarify.)

Dib:

Memorial Day is coming up in the US. what do you think Terry does to honor Ponytail this day, if anything?

---

Well, just to establish some background here, I'm guessing Ponytail has one of those strictly formal grave-plots at a military cemetery that is actually empty, body never recovered, deemed KIA, staying right where it was shot and executed in the jungle deep in Northern Vietnamese territory, but his name is etched into the headstone posthumously. His date of death. Date of birth. Maybe a kindly epitaph, like a soldier deserves. The soil and the coffin beneath it, though? Totally devoid of remains and I figure his family, whoever Ponytail's family was, was aware of this and they mourned this place regardless for years because that is just about all they had. Leaving behind flowers. The usual sentiment. The concept is eerie, because there would've been this guy from his platoon walking around with their son's likeness and borrowed mannerisms for decades (all while Ponytail's actual resting place is simply hollow) and it is a question how aware of it they really were, that someone basically usurped their son's identity, if at all. Maybe they were entirely aware of it and somewhere after the war Terry himself paid them a visit with his condolences looking the way he looked at that point and if that alone isn't messed up, I don't know what is, even though the sentiment itself is actually, at the same time quite generous and empathic. There's something almost vampiric about it nonetheless. Terry Silver is a bit like a doppelganger face-stealer in that regard, and if he ever frequented Ponytail's grave, it is like a ghost frequenting another ghost.

Or a twin visiting his deceased other half.

Did he do this privately? Fully out in the open because he felt he had nothing to hide from nobody and serving in army, by default, gave him free range to do whatever? Was he one of those anonymous mourners sending flowers to Ponytail's grave for decades without fail and nobody knew where these lush, elaborate bouquets that only someone with substantial cash to blow could ever afford ever even came from? Did he tend to practice the ritual of remember the dead, privately, on his own terms, within his own four walls? All options are very likely and not mutual exclusive. It also leaves a very important question open;

How affiliated Terry even remained with the military post-war?

Because, in the 70's and the 80's at least, I see Terry Silver as fiercely patriotic. He was in the army and he doesn't care who knows it and in fact, he'll flaunt it, entirely cocksure of himself, giving Memorial Day speeches, Veteran Community center donations, putting in a good egalitarian effort or ten, but admittedly, possibly always doing so from a stage in an immaculate suit, through a veneer of distant professionalism and all smiles, seldom actually interacting with ex-servicemen themselves, especially not others from Vietnam and when he did, there's an odd wall there. Perhaps a distant fear someone will remember that he was that Twig guy with the scrawny arms who was all fingers and thumbs. Would be equally as eerie that even when he does interact, nobody recognizes him anymore even when he gives a name and a callsign, because he's changed quite so much. Nobody can place who he is for certain. They figure he's familiar but they aren't certain why or how. They knew a Terry Silver alright, but this one and that one cannot be the same two people.

Wait, can they?

Hey, it could be a common name enough, sure, why not.

I think, that in his later years, by the time he's reintroduced to us in Cobra Kai, his open passion towards the military becomes more subdued and hidden to the point a great many people outright down know he's an ex Vietnam war vet, simply because general attitudes changed and so did worldviews since he was younger and he tends to keep things private and under wraps because being in the army might come with some controversies and that doesn't exactly match the Colgate commercial of a life he had going on for a while with a Malibu champagne-liberal vegan upper crust crowd. This reflects the way he remembers the fallen as well. Privately. Alone. Solemnly. Without anyone even knowing. Terry just tends to get into a car, unannounced, drive off and visit Ponytail's empty grave even if he has to drive hours and across multiple States to get there without a chauffeur and without a private plane, even though he easily could utilize either. But, no, around every Memorial Day, Mr. Silver tends to...disappear somewhere and nobody puts the dots together that he has someone he mourns.
