...OOOH. I HAVE A GOOD ONE.

What if Angrypapa had been...not an angry papa? As in, he was a good father/not a bastard/etc.

[foundtheindies]

ALSO WHAT IF AFFIE WAS STRAIGHT---/SHOT

[seraphsariel]

UP IS DOWN

BLACK IS WHITE

EXISTANCE IS NOTHINGNESS

wait are we being serious

[megkips]

1. Antonio is less crazy, straight up.
2. Related, Antonio's behavioural patterns change. He emphasis a lot on childlike-ness and innocence because he lacked that as a child, so his personality is probably more mature.
3. PLAUSIBLY it is Afonso and not Antonio who becomes the mafioso
4. Also plausible, neither one enter the mafia

Afonso and Sadiq never meet in college

[foundtheindies]

Hmm. Affie would be a lot less...
,..huh.

There are two things that could happen with it, I guess. Either he could revert to forever waifu mode and never make that transition in personality, or-- or, he could start being an angry sort of emo kid. Considering when he met Sadiq it was at a point where he'd finally broken off fall contact with his dad. He'd be all /RAGEQUIT at life.

*full contact I suck at life

[megkips]

Sadiq...wouldn't change at all though, which makes me feel bad. I can see him being a lot more angry emo kid - that seems more PLAUSIBLE - and he doesn't make any kind of personality transition until Arthur enters the picture, but that also changes the nature of Afonso and Art's relationship too, now doesn't it?

WHAT IF TONY STARK NEVER GOT ARRESTED AT THE END OF THE FIRST PLOT

[nottheherotype]

There would be much epic involved.

And no one would have dared try to invade the Starks' turf. (Or else be crushed flat)

[seraphsariel]

basically the next two plots don't fucking happen

[yulietorious]

Yeah basically.

Instead they would be replaced by epic parties and shenanigans like stealing fourty cakes amirite

[amigoyvino]

What if Tonio never loved Romano? You know what I mean. How would that change their relationship dynamic?

[seraphsariel]

IT TOOK ME TOO MUCH TIME TO FIGURE THIS OUT

Long story short: they wouldn't be as close.

Romano in part does hang out with Tonio a lot because he is aware of the feelings and is of the opinion that "if I can't give him what he wants I can at least give him something close."

Then again it also might result in a less protective nature on Antonio's behalf - dating wise but also in regards to other events like Romano's kidnapping it. It would be easier to let Romano go if that bond wasn't there and he can, in some cold hearted way, be written off as expendable.

AIM Specific, sorry

[megkips]

What if Mama Carriedo had married Hiram rather than Angrypapa

Re: AIM Specific, sorry

[amigoyvino]

Well, first of all. Toni wouldn't exist. :C

It would have just been her and Hiram and Affie. And there wouldn't have been any of this mafia involvement at all. They would've moved to the countryside or something and Affie would have been a teacher and never met Arthur. (Unless you believe in fate in which case they might have met serendipitously)
