"Don't threaten poor Bethany like that!" Peter gasped, clutching the doll to his chest. He snickered and held the doll out to examine once more, tilting his head and swaying Bethany so her legs swung and kicked. "You wouldn't do anything bad, right, Bethany?" He made the doll slowly turn her head to Leah and nod.

"See? Nothing to worry about! Buuuut, if you're so concerned about Beth going ghost rogue, I can go lock her up in my trailer. I need you to come see the new stage set-up and give your input, but I think it might be ready for showtime."

"Eh, I might keep her as is. She has some... Character." Although, now that he was holding her, she was a little stinky. It was as he started picking off the fabric pills that he truly noticed the tone in the woman's voice. "Wait..." He held in a snort. "You're not... scared of Bethany, are you?" Oh, god, he done named the doll.

"Nah, I don't think you're dumb. Con artists aren't typically dumb. But please, please pull up the contract! I wanna see what the hell you think you see," He says with some emphatic finger-pointing. He should be careful, because that thing can poke out an eye.

"Oh, yes the fuck I am!" Peter slaps the invoice on the table between them, his finger jabbing right onto the final and bloated total. "Especially when assholes try to rip me off! What the fuck, this wasn't in the contract!" See, this is why Peter has to stop having his shows in nightclubs.

Oh, I didn't know about the light thing. I did notice the shadow ticks, which was pretty cool, too.

// I'm finally getting around to watching Arcane season 2 (yeah, I'm late and lame boo me 🍅 🍅 🍅 ) but my nitpicky ass does not like this one part in the opening, where they have Ekko just leaping over a beam of light. Maybe it's a reference to some play or something and I'm too philistinic to understand it, but it feels like the animators were like, "What meaningful move or pose could we have Ekko do here?" And just went, "Eh, just have him do a kickass backflip."

As clichéd as this is, I would have had him running in rewind and having him age regress in the process, running backwards from Heimerdinger as a teen to the little boy returning to Benzo. It would have put that time loop power theme to more use.

//Okay, yeah, I've been thinking about Peter's trust issues and paranoia, and fuck it, that ask was a clear invitation to write about it, lol.

Anyway, losing Marion and then to have Lissy as a nanny clearly fucked Peter up to his core and crushed his sense of love and belonging. It's bad enough when your first primary caretaker and guardian, basically your first parent, dumped you in the middle of nowhere when you no longer served any purpose and probably hoped that you would just die and not be a nuisance to him, but then you meet this kind, gentle, fun-loving woman who'll listen to you babble on, who'll make you soup and wrap you in blankets when you're sick, and just show you what genuine love and care your little child heart craved.

Then she dies, and decades later, you meet another woman that you hoped would be the mother you needed, especially since it's her job as a nanny, who beats the shit out of you repeated, and its worse when it happens in drunken fits, because she blames you for "leading her nephew astray" and making him violate you every time you're around. Whatever small idea of parental love you had is tainted. You have no one in your corner, but you crush your own little heart still hoping, until you give up on that aspiration of family because you can only yearn so much before you finally get the fucking hint and realize that you weren't meant to have a family, which morphs into you don't belong anywhere no matter how much you try to squeeze yourself into other people's lives.

Have you ever heard of overreactive threat assessment?

It feels like you have something to say. If so, just say it.

I mean... he did lose his fingers...

--and that's why I'm being sued for emotional distress. Honestly, I didn't even know we did that in Scandinavia.

Yeah, I do. Tarsha hooked me up with one like immediately when I got the papers. But it's such a hassle, I think I just want to pay whatever he's asking for and be done with it.
