Did Rachel tell her mom about Tobias?
« on: September 30, 2008, 08:48:08 AM »
I don't know if she told her mom that she had a relationship with a bird. I don't know if her mom even spoke to Tobias. All I know is she tried to leave with Sarah and Jordan, and was the most freaked about what was going on.

Did she say anything about Tobias, or know her daughter was dating a bird? If not, how do you think that would go? What do you think would have, or could have happened?

I realise it wasn't really important to the overall plot or anything, but I'm thinking of new things to talk about. This question, unlike the three year thread, won't have just one answer. Or shouldn't.

I think that even if Rachel didn't tell her mom she would've found out shortly after the was was over anyway.  And at Rachel's funeral everybody let Tobias fly away with the Urn so they have to have known.

Moms sometimes can guess that sort of thing... ;)

I agree, she probably found out herself.

I doubt that Rachel would have told her Mum something like that, especially as they had much more pressing issues at the time and Rachel had some disagreements with her Mum towards the end. However, I would assume that Naomi figured it out by herself, or somebody besides Rachel told her.

Naomi has mom intuition on her side, coupled with being a lawyer.

She figured it out. Rachel probably wouldn't ever tell her mom. Especially at that point in the war, but maybe even earlier in the war (if for some reason it had been feasible for Rachel to tell her mom). I just don't see Rachel as someone who would tell her mom about her personal life.

I can't see Rachel hiding it from here mom once they told there parents about it.
It wouldn't be all sit down "Mom I'm dating this guy...."  but I can't see her running off an making sure she never catches them together.

Though this would be an awesome sitcom
[singing] I'm a girl with with a boy who's a bird!
And we're living with my mom! [/singing]
think about it
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

I can see Rachel mentioning it in passing, but I doubt she would call him a bird. She was a big 'ole softy deep down. Thats why shes dating a guy that is arguably the most self pitying character in the series.
Until then we fight.

Yeah, she stresses at least once that he's Human underneath. She never thinks of him as more of a bird than a Human, even though he does himself.

I'm thinking of making a short fanfic about a female bird coming to Tobias' territory, and there being a kind of love triangle between those three. It could be funny.

If you really want to do a competitive fanfic, we can work out the rules in PMs.

"Hey mom,"
"Hi, Rachel, how are you?"
"Fine. Mom, I have something to tell you. Maybe you should sit down."
"Uh, oh."
"Oh, it's no big deal it's just that..."
"What?"
"I have this friend..."
"YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!?!"
'I guess you could say that but he's not, exactly a boy, I mean, he is but, he isn't, he can become one for two hours at a time but..."
"JUST SPIT IT OUT!!!!"
"He's a hawk."
"WHAT!?!?! Honey, please explain."
*Rachel explains happy to have found out that her mom is NOT a controller*
"Are you taking drugs?"
"NO! Mom! What kind of person do you think I am!?"
"I-"
"Scratch that, Tobias!"
A bird flutters in.
"AHHHHH!!!!"
Naoimi faints.
<I told you not to.>
"I know, I know. Wanna go see that new 90 minute movie?"
<Sure!>

I think its funny that the general reaction seems to be that Rachel is taking drugs, like in The Separation.
Until then we fight.

That's where I got the idea. It was either that or alchohol. My mom works at a package store so I thought it best not to offend her.

It would be fun, but unless you want to wait 3 weeks for one chapter to be finished then I don't think it'll work.  And besides, I have to finish my "Ax the Prostitute" story first and who knows how long that'll take...
YOU'RE WINNER !

Indeed, you should finish the AtP story.
