Not indigo henna
Which is why I never heard of it. Figures.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If Indigo Henna doesn't exist, neither does his father.
It doesn't have to work that way round. It's Indigo's kids that are mandated out of existence. His father could just be using birth control.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. His father could just be Indigo. Or just Henna.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A thing that doesn't exist can't have a father. Nothing fathered = no father. The guy may exist, but he isn't Indigo's father.

You're so timeist.
The concept "Indigo Henna's father" required an individual at the time of its existence, and that's who must be avenged, even if Indigo is whammied out of continuity.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Indigo Henna exists in potentia, If Indigo Henna's father is out there now, making swords or dying hair or whatever, just about to meet Indigo Henna's mother. If we knew who he was, maybe we could avert the whole tragedy!

The fact that a thing can be conceived, thought of and spoken of doesn't require that thing actually exists. I can talk about Jacques the father of my son Daniel, but Daniel doesn't exist, and therefore Jacques-the-father-of-Daniel does not exist, even though Jacques may. (He does.) If Indigo Henna doesn't exist, Mandy-the-father-of-Indigo doesn't exist, even if Mandy does.

I'm with -t in the in potentia camp. Somewhere there may be an Indigo Henna that hasn't actuated, and that germ's father may need help.

Sorry. Indigo what now? Did I get hit on the head?
The British don't use proportional voting -- it's first-past-the-post, in each electoral district.
And that's why the Lib Dems support electoral reform. And why I support them. (Unless they make a pact with the devil the Conseratives no, I was right the first time. I shall now wander away muttering.)
Bedward, ho. Elections involve far, far too little sleep.

I love how the thread moved from puns to philosophy in five posts and never lost the colorants.
