#Reflections in Crystal

"Tell him he needn't worry about us. That he need no longer hide who he truly is. That he should live his own life to the fullest. And if he would ever find himself reminiscing on the past with a smile, we shall be smiling with him...Will you tell him this?"

Happy Solstice!

Today is the December solstice, marking an astronomical beginning of summer in the southern hemisphere and winter in the north. This view from Ostersund in central Sweden, features the midday Sun just above the horizon with a beautiful solar ice halo. Naturally occurring atmospheric ice crystals can produce the halos, refracting and reflecting the sunlight.

I just want to say that I love Esther Finch and she is a great villain but she is sooooooo sinister. I don't think enough people realize how terrible she truly is beacuse we mostly see her as a somewhat campy villain. Which she is but she is also so much more.

To start with she goes after Becky Aspen, a little black girl, and, well, Becky is a very vulnerable person because of it. The police and even other (white) people will be less likely to look for her because she is black. I wouldn't be surprised that the police did very little to look into her disappearance. And Esther isn't a stupid woman, she most likely went after Becky because she uses the systemic issues in place that make it easier for her to go after vulnerable girls, such as Becky Aspen.

Not to mention that the police wouldn't have gone after her anyways because she is friendly with them and they are friendly with her. She talks to them like a friend and the police treat her like one. And it's easy for Esther to do because she is a wealthy white woman, why would she be the cause of such a horrible tragedy? She is trust worthy and our friend so of course this wealthy white woman is not the kidnapper/killer. Because she is a wealthy white woman.

More under the cut

The police also show their incompetence/bias in the show by dismissing Crystal and Niko during the Lighthouse Leapers, because they are 1) outsiders in this town 2) are renting at Jenny's so they must be poor 3) not at school so they must be high/on drugs and 4) woman of color, while not mentioned, is something that most likely played a factor in the cops decision to not believe them.

The cop also immediately runs into Esther, who further turns the cop against Crystal and Niko. Esther takes advantage of her position in society, especially to those who are beneath her, to have power and control over them.

And the police will not side with her victims because it is her words over theirs and her word carries far more weight than those of her victims.

After all, Esther Finch is such a poor wealthy white woman and she is so sinister because it reflects our reality of how we (western) society view wealthy white woman.

Some of comic Charles' family backstory. I'm still working my way through the comic.

This is from Dead Boy Detectives vol. 2. (ISBN: 9781401250867).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most of his family stuff is very different from the Netflix show, but having the shitty father is unfortunately the same. And in the early part of this story, it implies his father may have killed his mother (who is dead before Charles dies in the origin comic).

In the show, he keeps checking in on the parents to make sure his dad hasn't hurt his mom.

I'm really interested to see where season 2 goes.
