Important question:

Do birthdays still count if you're dead and don't have Calendar Man hanging around reminding you of important dates anymore?





Asking for a friend.

Would you like me to bake you a birthday cake, sir?

[deadkord]

Well, I wouldn't say no.

[snarkbot]

Of course, sir. What flavor?

[He's only slightly concerned, as one could probably tell in his voice. ]

Uh, pretty sure a lot of people still celebrate birthdays for the dead.

[deadkord]

Yeah, but the dead don't usually have to participate.

[legionnaires]

[ He realises he hit the wrong button, switching to text. ]

I guess the question there is do you want a birthday?

Birthdays count if you want them to count.

[deadkord]

I haven't wanted a birthday to count since I was in my 20s.

[glowsferatu]

if youre still capable of asking if your birthday counts and comprehend any response you receive within a reasonable expectation then the answer is yes
the answer is especially yes if your resurrection is due to porter magic and not the assumption of an undead condition

[shutterbugged]

Hey, self-aware zombies deserve birthdays too.

[deadkord]

↑ What that guy said.

[siriusly]

I don't think anyone could stop you from letting it count...

[deadkord]

Other than myself forgetting it, I guess.

[zee_zatara]

The celebrations, always. Ignore the pesky numbers attached.

omg shit i somehow missed replying to this??? SORRY

[deadkord]

Celebrations are more fun when someone else is putting them together for you.

[khajidont]

You never told me it was your birthday!

[deadkord]

It was like three weeks ago. I kind of forgot about it.

[viced]

Well, it'll at least pass by without incident from now on.

I'll take it.

voice

[deadkord]

So much so that even I forgot about it!

[earnedmystripes]

of course it counts
its your birthday!!

[deadkord]

Even if I forgot about it for a few weeks?

Celebrating your birth, I imagine, never stops being relevant to a person's life, even if it were life after death. I have to admit I've never heard of such a conundrum before.

[deadkord]

Oh, you must be new.

[am_i_a_monster]

If you want to celebrate it, you should. You can decide what counts.

[deadkord]

That sounds like an awful lot of responsibility.
