From death_gone_mad :
Ok, idea stolen and modified from Plurk, in order to be more Milliways friendly, hopefully:

 

Post in your pups. Then others will post a pup in response and the responding pup's estimation of what their parents would think of the thread starter.

Comments

[athelstanthescribe]

Athelstan
Giovanni
Michael Carpenter
Jonathan Levinson
Nancy (Doctor Who)
Cadfael
Roshaun
Gavroche
Ichabod
Norrington

[runningred]

As Jay's birth parents aren't really allowed a say, Bruce would have liked Cadfael and respected Ichabod. And Alfred would have adored Athelstan and Gavroche

[jackdaws_master]

Pretty sure Edward Kenway's father would attempt to get Norrington alone and beg him to talk Edward into either getting a sea berth where he'd serve under gentlemen or giving up on the sea entirely, because privateering is not a career path that leads to long life and security.

[katyafeline]

Katya
Sam Stewart
Ace
Clara/Oswin
Glorfindel
William Blakeney
Balthazar
'Bones' McCoy
Jemma Simmons

[sunbaked_baker]

Sunshine's mother would assume the worst and wouldn't want Balthazar anywhere near her daughter. She would make it clear that she isn't above throwing things and calling the police and making as big a scene as possible to get him to leave them alone. >_>

Charlie would treat Balthazar like he'd treat anyone else, with friendly generosity, and would inquire if Balthazar'd like anything to drink, or if he'd be joining them for supper... but he wouldn't hide his concern about a sorcerer's interest in Sunshine, and would ask after what it all means for his step-daughter and employee.

(Sunshine's father would likely be very polite, though not friendly, towards the other sorcerer, but would still be pointedly interested in the intentions/abilities/etc. of the magic-handler teaching his daughter.)

[herr_bookman]

Autor's mother would love to trade soufflé recipes with Oswin. His father would probably think she's short and not much else.

About Katya, his mother would be friendly but reluctant to engage her, on the grounds that she seems off, somehow. His father would side-eye her.

ETA: It occurs to me that Tahno's parents would think Oswin is a perfectly lovely girl, and his mother would undoubtedly want to dress her up.

[runningred]

Bruce Wayne (near enough to Jay's father) would like and respect Jenna and possibly found her a job at Wayne Enterprise's R&D division. Willis, Jay's birth father would leer and be sleazy at Katya till she lost her temper and broke his face.

[genarti]

Enjolras (pro_patria_mortuus)
Clare (demisemidemon)
Trowa Barton (3nanashi)
Regan Tam (regan_tam)
River Tam (river_meimei)
Cosette Fauchelevent (lark_in_flight)
Thor Odinson (mjolnir_retriever)

[gredya]

Lesgle Sr. would say that he didn't get himself a nice steady post-master's office just so that his son could go haring around with posh revolutionary firebrands. Or dying with them. You weren't around for the Revolution, sonny, you don't know the kind of trouble you're starting. What you do is you get yourself settled as squarely as you can for the sake of your family. That's as far forward as anyone needs to look.

Well, I mean, he would, but he's been dead for a while, so.

[varadia]

X-23
Raven
Nynaeve al'Meara
Dean Winchester
Michael the Archangel
Galadan
Wonder Woman

[genarti]

GOSH WHAT WOULD RIVER'S PARENTS THINK OF GALADAN

*cough*

Trowa and Clare are basically disqualified from participating in this meme. Thor thinks his parents would very strongly approve of Diana, though. (He's right, of course.)

[nitro_is_ace]

Ace's parents are asses, so Ace says their opinion of Raven doesn't count anyway.

However, if we were to ask, her dad would probably assume that Ace had gotten herself some sort of rich American boyfriend and would make comments to that effect, and her mum would be instantly suspicious and probably a lot hateful.

[runningred]

What would Bruce Wayne think of X? Hmm...

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Ellen's dad would tell Diana that she reminded him of someone, because there's no way he's not going to think of Star Paladin Cross after interacting with her for any length of time.

[ceitfianna]

Will Scarlett
Charles Xavier
Quentin
William Evans
Sameth
Jane Austen
Ivan Vorpatril
Moist von Lipwig
Demeter
Tumnus

[runningred]

Bruce would distrust Charles until he knew what weaknesses to exploit if needed. I think he would have adopted William as the next Robin. And he would have drafted Moist into Batman Inc as a consultant or locked him up. Or both.

Olivier's mother would simply adore Demeter.

oooooooh

[sunbaked_baker]

Yrael
Rae "Sunshine" Seddon
Zelgadiss

Re: Yrael

[death_gone_mad]

Tumeken (Amascut's father): Why does she keep on bumping into Elder Gods?
Elidnis (Amascut's mother): At least this one doesn't think she's a toy. *wry*
Tumeken: :-S
Elidnis: Maybe
Tumeken: :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut
Fairy Fixit
Evil Chicken

[gredya]

...Okay, I admit it, I'm a doofus and I'm really confused about what we're supposed to do here. D:

[shadowandsnark]

I believe the idea is that we tag in with a character or list. Then someone else tags in with a character in mind, say Tybalt to your Gredya, like so:

"My father would think Gredya is something for a cait sidhe to aspire to become, despite her canine nature."

[i_am_your_host]

Very well.

[herr_bookman]

Autor's father would think Emcee is an abomination. His mother would reluctantly agree, but find him absolutely charming in the meantime.

(I am so sorry.)

[isawit]

Oh sure, now that I've pups who are being active. Funny how putting up a notice for sparring partners gets you replies. = ]

Selina Kyle

Sam Wilson

[death_gone_mad]

If Amascut and Selina were friends somehow, Amascut's parents would give eachother looks and wonder if Amascut is recovering finally.

[herr_bookman]

Oh, why not.

Autor
Tahno
Alana Bloom

[souffle_girlek]

Oswin's mum would readily accept Autor as the missing kid she never had, and I imagine the Oswald family (of the future!) was very loud, very opinionated, and very friendly.

... Oswin's mum would probably flirt at him. Who do you think Oswin learned it from?

I realize it's late, but...

[leeshajoy]

Alyx Vance
Twilight Sparkle
Vanellope von Schweetz
Princess Luna
D0G
the cat

Re: I realize it's late, but...

[hecu_marine]

Gordon's mom would be thrilled to meet Alyx, having been one of those parents who sits on the urge to intervene in their adult children's lack of love lives. There would be a great deal of talking and questioning. His father would probably be more interested in Alyx's robots than anything else, but his father was not that much of a people person anyway- it's nothing against Alyx.

Edward Kenway's parents would very likely offer the cat whatever cream and place by the fire they could manage if he would agree to stay with them for a while, as I'm pretty sure they had a rodent problem (lower-class farm workers in the late 1600s/early 1700s).

Medic's parents are long since dead, and he was raised by his grandparents. That being said Grandmama und Grandpapa would probably be quite impressed by either the unicorns or Vanellope, although Grandpapa would lose patience with Vanellope within five minutes. (Grandmama, who makes a point of sending cookies and sausages and other proper food to her grandson whenever he's able to give her a destination address, secretly thinks seeing her authoritarian husband get flustered or overruled is hilarious and would find an excuse to high-five Vanellope when he wasn't looking.)

Ellen's father, although a doctor and... I don't know what to call his scientific focus outside of medicine, but it ain't computer science or robotics... anyway, he'd find D0G fascinating as an example of a completely different computing architecture from anything he'd ever seen and would probably try to question the 'bot for hours on end. At least until Ellen pulled him away for bothering the poor thing.

[last_kallig]

Ibani (The Sith Inquisitor)

Kreyu

[hecu_marine]

Kate Shephard would ask Adrian if he'd ever dated Kreyu before meeting Eleanor Freeman. At which point Shephard would point out the gigantic shapechanging dragon part; Kate would probably not be too thrown by this, since Kreyu looks human part of the time, which is more than the Vortigaunts can say, but would eventually concede that a relationship would probably never have gone anywhere.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Way late for this, but-

Gordon
Shephard
Ellen
Varric
Santo
Edward Kenway
BLU Medic
Stacker Pentecost

[herr_bookman]

Autor's mother would probably try not to stare too openly at Ellen's scars, and gently offer to feed her. Autor's father has no such social graces, and would probably ask what a woman is doing with them.

[runningred]

Jay Todd
David Detector
Minx
Olivier
Diaval

Jay

[sunbaked_baker]

Charlie, upon meeting Jay, would be glad to meet him and would ask if Jay would like some coffee and a sit-down. He's friendly, and a genuinely good guy, and - wonder of wonders - trusts his step-daughter's judgment. Jay would, however, be subject to light, friendly questioning over the course of conversation, as Charlie knows just about everyone in Old Town and sure as heck doesn't know Jay, and *does* know some of what the local SOF has asked Rae to do. He's protective, but still himself. He'd likely eventually ask Jay if he'd like to stay for supper.

Rae's mother would be stiffly polite for the most part, her lips thin from keeping back disparaging remarks about what kind of hooligans her daughter is hanging around with, doesn't she know the danger she could get into, probably some lingering bad influence of her father, sure she had raised Rae to make better associations. The disparaging remarks and accusative questions would come later, after Jay was supposedly out of earshot.:/
