She wants Me To Take Care of Him? 4/23/15

......-_- Feels like a lie. A huge ass lie.

[PaulJones202718]

It is a huge-ass lie. She understands perfectly well WHAT Abuelita is saying despite claiming ignorance. As for why Alex is not calling her, that's his business, NOT CANDI'S!!!

Hmm. I wonder. How well does Abuelita understand English? Seems like she should have picked up Candi's exasperated comment about having to nursemaid a dick who dumped her because he thought she was too clingy what with wanting reassurance after an ax-crazy shitbird tried to set her on fire and all.

I realized something about the Abuela character today.

I think I like her. I mean, as a person, she's all kinds of horrible, but as a character she's actually a kind of fun old firecracker to throw around. She definitely has a different energy than most of the other cast, and it made her original arc one of the more memorable ones. I'd love to see more Viola, too.

[Sylvanaerie]

Candi is too damn nice for her own good. I can't believe the Drama Troll is so damn stupid she believes Candi should cook and look after her turd of a grandson, who hasn't been a part of her life for a long time. But at least this may mean we get to find out what happened to him. While I can't say I really give a rat's ass one way or the other, I will admit I am at least curious.

[Triple J]

The look on Candi's face is pretty much well my face when I think of Alex, the manchild...

Lord help her if/when Abuela shows up again anytime soon.

Heh, couldn't have said it better.

A simple call to Alex saying "Abuela called me to tell you to call her. Would you ask her to call you and not to call me?" is simple enough. On the other hand if Alex doesn't answer, something indeed could be wrong.

My three guesses: Depression, phone fell in the toilet, car accident.

... but the possibilities are endless

[ShadeTail]

My guess: he's feeling pissy that his grandma had Linda pegged before he did.

I don't know if she believes Candi should take care of Alex, but it's what she wants. And something tells me Abuela has a lot of experience getting what she wants.

Yeah, your guess is probably a lot more likely than mine.

I don't think so. I think its just plain forgetting to call or being distracted by being busy at university, like a normal teenager/young adult. Alex didn't seem too upset when Candi said "I Told you so" and he seemed to be over it pretty quickly when he was playing video games with his roommate shortly after the breakup. I think its a matter of Alex wanting attention from somewhere else - remember, Candi said "you should call your grandma instead of my mom" last time they hung out.

Still, I gotta wonder how long Abuela is going to keep this up. I can imagine her calling Candi after she gets married to someone: "Oh, you should just leave that man for Alex. He needs you to cook him supper."

I'd totally forgotten about that. Although, maybe that whole encounter also suggests that grandma is negative enough even with Alex that he doesn't like to talk to her too often.

[Mew-Universe]

I don't think Candi is actually going to do what Abuela wants, and she's reacting more like, "Is she freakin' serious?!"

HA! More like he has been captured by the Squirrel Mafia and they are brain-washing him to be their agent and assassin in the human world - Their first target is THE LAB! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa!

Erm, maybe not enough coffee....

You both have good points. I think maybe it's a bit of both. Abuela would definitely rub-in just how right she was and how he should always listen to her - If she learned of the break up (has she? I don't remember.) Having to fess up that Linda left him would be even worse.
