I haven’t been as alive here as I ought to be ( weird home / work things, and typically when I hit an upswing in energy I focus on Misty ) and although I haven’t written anything with or on him yet, and I’m not about to go on a whole spiel about it at like two in the morning, please note that Chester Creb is more of a danger to himself than anybody else and everything the show did with him was a complete waste.

#[banging pots and pans] CHESTER CREB IS AN EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND KIND MAN WHO HAD HEAD TRAUMA AND PTSD AND SOME REAL ISSUES #AND WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY STRUGGLING WITH EVERYTHING #BUT WAS USED AS A 'MENTAL PROBLEMS?? VIOLENT. CLEARLY VIOLENT. REPRESSING SO MUCH VIOLENCE.' PROP-UP FOR A LAZY SHOCK KILL AND TO HASTILY #REMOVE HIM FROM THE PLOT WHEN THEY REALIZED THEY WAITED WAY TOO LONG TO INCLUDE HIM AND COULDN'T FIT HIM INTO ANYTHING SO HEY JUST SCRAP IT #Loud reminder the only thing explicitly identifying Chester as the murderer in the case of his wife / her girlfriend was:#A) I'm blanking on Dandy's exact wording but either a warrant or something similar out for his arrest which doesn't mean all that much #and this is the ah.s universe where we have met.....one? trustworthy cop? I'm rounding up #( AND ESPECIALLY IN THE SEASON WHERE POLICE ARE ANTAGONISTIC 100% OF THE TIME MAYBE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT? )#B) Chester's flashback which if viewed as his memory is....as flimsy as the rest of his memories are shown to be?#not to dip into conspiracy theories here but in the show's universe one out of four people would kill you for a klondike bar #and Chester was something of a pariah after he got back from the war; between that and his illness it would have been #laughably easy to frame him #and if his memory is as flimsy as it's shown to be? honestly? he could have just been TOLD he did it and believed it enough to flee #Iunno man.#I'm still very carefully trying to feel out exactly what his 'canon' here is going to be but he......doesn't strike me as an inherently #dangerous man.#and this show deserves one character of his sort who actually ISN'T just a straight up doomed serial murderer #( Maggie's was right damn there and unavoidable and I'm not dodging that at all mind you -- it's the background that makes me squint )#his immediate reaction was actual tears and HORROR and shock and anger /at what-slash-who he believed made him do it #and even after that fakemurder he turned /himself/ in a teary-eyed wreck #Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm #It's two am and I love Chester Creb he's a soft guy who likes lizards let him live #I UBERED. / OOC #tbd possibly.#( *edit: and a reminder that that was like....the 40s - 50s and homophobia / lesbophobia were a Thing. That they were targets of violence #isn't exactly astronomical as odds go )
