The Hopey Tree cannot be explained.

To quote Landy: "People assume the Hopey tree is a strict progression from parent to child, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective point of view, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, father-sonny...stuff."

That's still inadequate. How does hope adopt people? He's a teenager. Can he adopt me? What does this mean? How is this thread so popular ?

He adopts people by saying that "you're my dad/mom now".

That's the way it happened with me.

That's not dissimilar to Gentaro Kisaragi's "I'm gonna befriend you" spiel.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Hopey has an aggressive expansionist adoption policy.

Just talk to him.

At this rate he's gonna adopt a sentient spacecraft and a girl made of space goo, I tell you.

... Uhhh.

like whut is going on

to clarify:

1. The Cyclical Paradox works because it does.

2. The Hopey Tree is sui generis. This means that it cannot be explained using regular reasoning. In fact, the Tree exists outside of Regular Logic, and runs on its own Hopey Logic.

3. How do you get adopted? By being noticed by me.

4. There are only 82 names on this chart. I can get more.

Well, considering I am sad there's only 82 (someone should check that) there is always room! :p

[up]Wait, you mean it took him several days to do that? That's the kinda stuff I do every day. Several a day. But that might just be because I'm insane. THE WOMAN CONSPIRACY IS EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU!
