Earlier This Morning I Had A Dream Where I Found This Meme As A Video Of A Crying Peppino Sprite Edited

earlier this morning i had a dream where i found this meme as a video of a crying peppino sprite edited on top of a gif of a small toy being pushed down a yellow plastic slide with the caption "how socially anxious people at the playground cry when they realise they haven't replied to a message for 10 hours that day" with audio of a baby crying over it and it was so stupidly funny to me that i had to sloppily recreate an image of it

btw here are the original images i used for this. sprite was drawn by me

also adding onto this because i forgot to add this detail: i like to think the reason why Craig was even making that apple experiment in this little canon i've created was because he had an inkling that he was missing something, something very big and traumatic to him, but he just didn't know what. the experiment was still a prototype, so it didn't exactly work the way it was supposed to with making Barry have a hallucinogenic Jetpack Joyride+ adventure and whatnot. in this canon, Craig continues working on the apple experiment after curing Barry, thinking that he'd make a breakthrough eventually, and he does. this is what kicks off him rediscovering his lost memories and looking into his file and rechristening himself as Toni.

i've kinda had an idea floating around in my head that Toni (the scientist who was confirmed to be the guy in Robot Bird in a random short Halfbrick's channel uploaded) is actually Craig after regaining his memories and rediscovering who he was after finding his original profile in the deep offices of Legitimate Research, and after discovering his real name and all his original memories, he gets so mad at Barry for fucking his shit up that he completely rejects everything he had with Barry including his given name. and they'd have this super messy breakup where Barry tries to explain himself to him, and Toni gets pissed and directly challenges Barry on his morals. like, Barry tries to explain that before he met Toni, he was just some random scientist to him and he had absolutely no idea it was his boyfriend he stole from and ruined the career of, but that obviously doesn't change anything and in fact just hurts Toni even more, and he lashes out and attacks him. Barry is genuinely remorseful for his actions after the fact, but Toni is pretty reasonably angered about it and feels betrayed that someone who meant so much to him was the reason for his downfall, and he becomes a part of Really Bad Corp's team of villains (i cannot take this seriously with that name XD) out of revenge. gay angst ensues!

i kinda want them to be on good terms by the end of everything, but their relationship is too fractured to go on and they end up just being mere acquaintances and going their own separate paths. maybe Toni would consider possibly getting back together with Barry after he's had some time alone to relearn who he is, but that's going to take a very long time. as for Barry, he's gonna be preeetty upset about the whole thing. on one hand he gets why Toni is upset at him, but on the other hand, he just lost someone very important to him and he doesn't even have anyone else but himself to blame for it. he'll be ok though. he's got Flash as a moral support, and he'll find other friends. and maybe, one day, he might get to introduce them all to Toni again.

Barry: Hey Craig, is it cool if I drink this milk?

Craig: That's white paint.

Barry, who's already drank the paint with it all over his face: ... Sooo it's cool, right?

this one image of barry is so funny to me. what is he plotting. what is he up to. he looks like a villain about to go "well well well...." and do the spinny chair thing (except he just goes "wheeeeeee :D" and keeps spinning)

i need one of those quirky coffee mugs that says "don't talk to me until i've put my binder on" with the trans flag on it i think that would be very cool

i love how tf2 did the barbie thing before barbie did the barbie thing
