Mondelez invites you to bring your plastic waste to the mall

This 2022, Mondelēz International and…

I'm really mad at the interior photos I took so have this plastic flamingo instead! Look at him! He's just little guy! Tag a friend who reminds you of this flamingo!

Narratively, I think we could get a lot of mileage off Tilín and JuanaFlippa’s return. I’m gonna make bullet points for this because. There’s so many possibilities.

Quackity is missing and nobody really knows where he is or if he’s going to be okay. Except for elQuackity, who loves/loved Tilín but is now affiliated with the federation and is working towards a (likely sinister) goal that could potentially be a direct threat to Tilín’s wellbeing. Will he be forced to choose between his commitment to the Federation and protecting his kid? Is he even able to back out at this point? He’s had so little to lose up until now, and his response to Tilín’s return could reveal a lot about the person he’s become.

The Gegg situation with Slime. Gegg was originally created by Charlie as a way to become someone unburdened by the guilt, shame, and grief he felt after accidentally killing Tilín and losing Flippa a second time. He feels that Gegg is taking over his life, but he hasn’t really been fighting against it because he seems to think that, as himself, he is fundamentally unlovable and that Gegg ultimately has more value than he does. But Gegg isn’t Flippa’s father. Gegg isn’t Tilín’s uncle. Charlie is. And they both love him unconditionally. He finally has a reason to truly fight to regain control of his life. Character acting is where Slimecicle (the irl content creator) really shines, so this kind of plot would be perfect for him to really go ham with it.

We’d get to see Mariana again! Despite the language barrier between him and a lot of the fans and CCs that don’t speak Spanish, he’s managed to become a beloved and compelling character that has a lot of really strong relationship dynamics with the other characters, even in the comparatively short amount of time he’s spent on the server. The general headcanon as to why nobody’s seen him in so long is that his character has been depressed and self-isolating all this time and the other characters are giving him space, and I would love to see an exploration of whether he’ll seek to pull himself out of the spiral for Flippa’s sake or try to distance himself even more out of fear that he’ll accidentally hurt her again. Even if it gets proven that his mistake shouldn’t have been fatal to his daughter, he might have internalized the idea that JuanaFlippa will be better off without him around, which is so deliciously heartbreaking. Mariana having to confront and overcome that belief would be really compelling methinks.

And then there’s JuanaFlippa and Tilín themselves. A lot has changed in the time they’ve been gone. In comparison to the other eggs, we’ve had so little time to watch them develop as characters, which has always really bummed me out, because they both had a lot of potential. We barely had the chance to get a read on their personalities before they both died really tragically. So many of the narratives involving them were left totally unresolved, and that sucks.

^Arguably Trump had this even worse and I really wish the admins had decided to roll back his final death, but that’s a different conversation entirely.

Jaiden and Roier had kind of unofficially adopted Tilín, giving them a really fun sibling dynamic with Bobby. Tilín reuniting with the the Animations family could be so, so bittersweet. Did Tilín get to reunite with Bobby after he died? How will she react to the realization that the Roier’s house, one of the only places where she could feel surrounded by family, now sits quiet and empty? Given the absence of qQuackity and the… whatever the fuck is going on with elQuackity, perhaps Jaiden and Roier will claim custody of Tilín. It would be funny to see whether judgmental little Tilín approves of Roier’s new husband and stepson. And also I guess Roier’s three.. wait, four(?) new husbands-in-law(???). How many fucking leches would that even be?

qBBH, QSMP’s supernanny supreme, has stated multiple times that he wishes he’d stepped in to care for and protect both Flippa and Tilín. He’s also remarked that he’d have very little faith in Slime, Mariana, or Quackity to reliably protect and care for their respective children, if said children were ever resurrected. And he isn’t exactly wrong. If Tilín and Flippa come back, Bad’s pretty much guaranteed to get involved, whether their parents want it or not. I can’t help but wonder how the two resurrected eggs themselves will feel about the grim reaper watching over them, having both experienced the trauma of death firsthand? 🤔

I think I had more points to make here but I didn’t write fast enough. My train of thought left the station a while ago. But uh. Look, man. Monkey brain wants to see those little eggy fellas again. Please. 🥺

I hate plastic flamingos.

These little flamingo shakers are so PRETTY! I am fairly certain these are lucite shakers based off how they feel. I also imagine they would look AMAZING under black light!

The plastic pink lawn flamingo was invented in 1957 by a guy named Don Featherstone who I guess just really loved flamingos. The original plastic flamingo was named Diego :)

The flamingo is now an icon of American pop culture, and fun fact: there are actually imposter flamingos out there. Genuine plastic pink flamingos made by Featherstone’s company had his signature on them until his retirement in 2000. So nowadays it’s kinda hard to tell 🤷🏼‍♀️

They’re usually sold in pairs, with one standing upright and the other with its neck and beak bend to the ground as if it’s feeding

Bonus fun fact: I *love* plastic pink flamingos which is why I know all this and I always wanted some, so when I graduated high school in 2017, my parents bought some and we used them as a yard game at my graduation open house. We had them set out a certain distance apart from each other and we had plastic rings which you would throw and try to land them around the flamingos’ necks
