About: Kid with the Leash   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The Kid with the Remote Control, but with a twist: the controlled partner or servant is pragmatic at best, and a raving loon at worst. The actual loyalty of the servant varies, but the typical example is essentially a portable version of Sealed Evil in a Can -- though a very loyal one is arguably even creepier. The servant openly admits his opinion that the best way to deal with obstacles and enemies is through complete annihilation. The kid (who is usually younger) is the moral compass who has to keep it under control (with a little help from the Restraining Bolt), and more importantly not fall victim to temptation.

  • The Kid with the Remote Control, but with a twist: the controlled partner or servant is pragmatic at best, and a raving loon at worst. The actual loyalty of the servant varies, but the typical example is essentially a portable version of Sealed Evil in a Can -- though a very loyal one is arguably even creepier. The servant openly admits his opinion that the best way to deal with obstacles and enemies is through complete annihilation. The kid (who is usually younger) is the moral compass who has to keep it under control (with a little help from the Restraining Bolt), and more importantly not fall victim to temptation. Naturally this works both ways, where the monster learns empathy and grudgingly accepts his master might not be so bad, while the handler learns not all things are as black and white as they think. This is one of two things that can result from trying to control Sealed Evil in a Can. For the other, less family-friendly outcome, see Evil Is Not a Toy. Compare Guardian Entity.
