#The Police forever

[electoons]

I love the college of winterhold. everyone there is casually deranged and there's like an alarming number of students and staff who threaten you immediately when they meet you. it's always one of the first questlines I do. which makes it even funnier when you get made the arch-mage of the college. I'm level 12 and got through this questline knowing exactly 3 spells. what do you mean you want me to lead the college. this school CANNOT be an accredited institution

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.

His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.

His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.

Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.

Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.

Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.

But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.

But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.

He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.

And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.

And the truth is worse than all of the lies.

How horrifying.

YouTubers specifically but of course people generally really think they have a realistic grasp of what the police and the court system "would" do in various situations that completely obliterates their ability to realistically judge allegations of wrongdoing and informs a huge amount of basic ignorance about people doing bad stuff IRL. watching some video idiot saying "well if the police had these kinds of allegations on file they would have arrested him immediately" which is just never true. and I mean you find out it's not true if you have even tertiary exposure to any facts about any famous criminal case, all of which are wall to wall documents of either outright police misconduct or simple incompetence. it's odd. for example if you watched a fictional movie that was staged identically to how things actually went down at the Ramsey household crime scene you would be scoffing that the filmmakers must know nothing about police procedure because it violated every basic crime scene preservation rule that exists, which unfortunately is actually what happened irl and what usually happens. I'm not sure what's so hard for everyone to understand about "cops are stupid and lazy and do not actually do 'their jobs' unless forced because solving crime and protecting people are not their real jobs and they know it"

I nag at Orion a lot, but I think him latching on so fast to El really does say something about him.

Namely, the poor boy, essentially, has a devouring monster of hunger in his guts. Naomi's Word of God'ed that the mawmouth pull is so hard, Orion has a lot of trouble focusing on people. The mawmouth is essentially blindfolding him, turning his head, making him so obsessed with feeding that he doesn't have brain space for anyone else.

But, because El is so powerful, it lets Orion pay attention to her. El is essentially the first person Orion was really allowed to look at, and he latched onto her immediately. As soon as the monster in his guts allowed him to look at another person, Orion connected to them.

I really expect being no-longer-a-mawmouth is gonna deeply affect Orion from now on. I mean. The ending of Book 3 didn't super hint at that, but Naomi is Naomi, so I know I can take Orion and run whenever the fuck I want with him post-series.
