your shoulders brush (no proof, one touch)

“It’s not funny,” Buck whines. “I just thought– we have– were having a good time together. And he’s been so great through the whole figuring myself out, he made me feel so, um, so secure in my sexuality, you know?” “Well, you’re not any less bisexual if you’re not dating him,” Eddie shrugs. “So I guess he didn’t feel the same way, then?” “Kind of?” Buck turns on the couch and pulls one of his legs up. His knee nudges Eddie’s thigh, and Eddie is suddenly very aware that he’s not wearing pants. ~ a coda to 8x06

slytherin gang @ mcdonald's

modern au! crack! headcanon for @blondwhxrewrites

includes: mattheo, pansy, theo, enzo, blaise, tom, draco

mattheo: cashier 1

- one of the hottest cashiers u will ever have n regret not asking for his number once u leave

- it's not like he'd give it to u tho...

- he'd definitely flirt w you for fun

- throw a lil smirk in there

- would not give or take any fucks

- oh you're being mean to him? he'd talk right back at you...

- v reciprocal conversationalist (minus small talk)

- he's here to work not socialise

- but the smaller things, yk???

- flirt w him, he flirts back; ur being mean to him? he comes back meaner

- WILL escalate the situation

- spit is flying everywhere, it's an animated argument

- only when it gets really fucking real, then he'd pull out the last resort: manager pansy

pansy: your stereotypical 20yo manager

- also will not give or take any fucks, but on a higher level above mattheo

- 5'2" w attitude

- blue hair + pronouns but it's jet black bob haircut + piercings

- she WILL stick up for her employees bc nobody gets paid enough to work at mcdonalds + face the verbal abuse of customers

- it's a good day when pansy is on shift

- has got your back as long as ur doing your job

theo: noob level for 6mo

- usually it takes 2–3mo for someone to fully learn and grasp everything it takes to run a new job

- not theo

- i can just imagine him being too hot n rich to give a damn about working in a mcdonalds

- but it was forced upon him for the "character development"

- whatever that means when ur as rich as theo

- he'd probably be assembling burgers but getting shit wrong bc he simply does not care

- the riddles on cash will talk back at the customers anyway, it's not theo's problem after the order is completed...

- insert random italian while he works

- maybe some italian curses

- would def flirt w female coworkers and look forward to shifts bc of that (promptly gets a talking to from pansy for slacking off)

lorenzo: constantly being moved around in assembly

- let's be real, he'll probably burn himself at the fryer multiple times before realising the ice cream machine is more his speed

- he'd be all "yay" when finding out he's on ice cream duty, before realising the skill required to get that perfect swirl

- but swirl, he will

- and he'd be unbelievably good at it in the end

- ice cream and sweet treats for enzo

- wont need someone regularly cleaning bc enzo will be cleaning every time he drops something

blaise: burgers + assembly

- burger blaise™ bc i imagine him to be the most efficient worker

- altho he's rich like theo, he actually gets shit done

- not here to fuck around

- finds a sort of peace in the orderly process of assembling burgers

- blaise is an octopus w how fast he can be

- makes up for enzo's scatteredness

tom: cashier 2

- deadly duo w his brother, mattheo, on the other cash register

- also a hot cashier who would not give any fucks

- if shit gets serious, ull probably be better off never returning bc u wont survive tom

- bc tom will be the most silent but deadly person

- spewing absolute insults at u while holding the most stoic face

- the type to look u dead in the eyes for literally anything + make u piss your pants

- taking your order? eye contact

- annoyed at you? eye contact

- thinks ur cute? eye contact

- the eye contact is crazy w this one

- don't try him, bitch

draco: fryer freak

- bc enzo got moved off of fryer, draco has to fill in

- but he's not any better

- another rich kid who does not want to be here

- he'd burn himself and whine to pansy (she doesn't give a shit bc somebody has to work fryer)

- cranky little baby boy who eventually gives in (after being reprimanded and sassed by manager pansy)

- bare minimum worker in the end

a/n: ive never worked at mcdo so idk if the vibes will be remotely accurate 😭 but i hope u enjoyed anyway🤍

Day 15: Morally dubious police work

Sorry, I'm one day late, but here it is!

Spatort content first, some more serious real life stuff later under the cut.

#Homeoffice

Let's be honest, Tatort cops are - most of the time - not an accurate representation of real police work (but that wouldn't make for entertaining TV so... yeah. It's true for almost any crime series, I guess). It's fiction, after all, so it doesn't have to be 100% accurate, as long as it tells an interesting and engaging story (and the inaccuracies don’t pull you out of it too much. That’s probably why an acquaintance of mine, who works as a police officer, once said they can’t watch Tatort. The depiction of police work is often so far off that it throws them off too much).

Personally, I often find myself enjoying morally dubious characters or storylines that I’d find far more troubling in real life.

In real life, I wish Adam hadn’t let Moritz Leimer go. Sure, Moritz might not come after Adam again - maybe he ‘learned his lesson’ when it comes to the King’s son. But he’ll most likely remain a criminal and end up breaking into someone else’s home, hurting or traumatizing another victim. In Spatort, however, I don’t feel as strongly about this.

Adam's decision is morally dubious. In a way, the morally right thing to do would have been to press criminal charges against Moritz. He didn’t just break in - he had a gun, for fuck's sake. This isn't a minor offense, where it would be completely up to the victim whether they press charges or not.

"Das sind mindestens zwei Straftaten, die da gerade davon laufen!"

- Leo, Die Kälte der Erde

On the other hand, Adam can't do that for personal reasons. His reputation at the station is already damaged and he has no idea what Moritz knows or how an investigation might play out. Did Uncle Boris figure out where the money was hidden? Did he tell someone to check under that tree? Has anyone noticed the freshly dug-up earth - or even followed Adam? In the end, would it be more than just the current hearsay... would there be evidence that Adam has the money?

That could mean some serious trouble for him, risking both his job as well as his already strained relationship with Leo.

Plus, Adam was the victim in this specific case - so it could be argued that it’s his right to decide not to file a complaint. And maybe Moritz isn’t as dangerous as he seemed at first? After all, Adam was right: he didn’t shoot him.

"Herrgott, haben se nicht jemanden schicken können, der halbwegs gefährlich wirkt?"

- Adam, Die Kälte der Erde

Moreover, Adam needs to be able to continue investigating - and we wouldn't want him losing his job, would we?

There’s a sense in which Adam’s decision seems both right and wrong at the same time - that’s what makes it morally dubious. It’s the kind of situation where you think: yeah, they shouldn’t have done this, but then again… maybe they should have. Maybe it was justified.

The same goes for Leo’s suggestion to threaten Betty Henschel to force a confession. For a lead police investigator, even considering such a tactic should probably be viewed as a serious moral failing.

Then - once again - as viewers, we know from the start of the film that the four are indeed responsible for Roswitha “Kiwi” Jäger’s death, and we might feel that threatening one of them into a confession is necessary—and therefore justified—to ensure they’re sentenced for it.

(Credits to @snowfox-98 for this collage!)

Yet, not all instances I considered as morally dubious at first, remained so on the final evaluation.

After considering it for a while, I'd say: Leo meeting Adam at the lake and using the evidence he was handed there... or Esther and Leo striking a deal with the criminal to arrest Jens Modall (the evil lawyer)... I don't find these morally dubious.

These were, quite literally, the only options they had to save Adam’s life (to prevent him from being wrongfully convicted of murdering his father). Sure, their actions weren’t in line with the law, so what they did was legally dubious. But the law doesn’t always align with morality, and vice versa. (For instance, in a country where homosexuality is criminalized, we wouldn’t view being homosexual as morally dubious). The same logic applies to cases of civil disobedience.

There are plenty of other decisions from Spatort that could be analyzed and debated over whether they’re morally dubious (and I absolutely love the posts I’ve seen on this so far!).

There’s one teeny-tiny sentence I’d like to highlight as particularly morally problematic:

P: "Der muss es sein. Wir haben sonst keinen."

L: "Das passt nicht zu dem."

P: "Komm, lass mich mal weitermachen. Wir knacken den schon."

- Pia und Leo, Das fleißige Lieschen

Pursuing an investigation when you don’t have any conclusive evidence that your suspect is guilty - and pushing it anyway just because you want a conviction - is wrong. It’s a slippery slope where you start caring less and less about whether the suspect is actually guilty. (Even if that’s not your intention, you just keep pushing and pushing... Just ask Isabelle Grandjean from Tatort Zürich - that did NOT turn out well.) That seems both legally and morally wrong.

Reflecting on this while writing this post, my thoughts kept circling back to real-life cases - not just of morally dubious, but outright morally reprehensible police work that continues to this day (not just in the U.S., but also in Germany).

If you’re interested in three (rather recent) examples that remain significant in Germany today, I’d like to invite you to read about them below.

Oury Jalloh

The first case marks a grim 20-year anniversary from just a few days ago (Jan. 7th): the case of Oury Jalloh, a citizen from Guinea who lived in Germany and died while in police custody cell. He was arrested after street cleaners claimed he had been drunkenly harassing people following a night of clubbing (allegations that were later denied by the supposed victims).

Police brought him to a cell at Dessau police station, where he was searched for dangerous objects. Then he was restrained, tied down on hands and feet to a bed, due to his intoxicated state, but also because he was very angry about being arrested. I'll let Wikipedia take it from here:

"Policewoman Beate H. was working in the second floor control room, together with Andreas S., her superior. On the intercom she heard Jalloh rattling his chains and swearing, so she attempted to calm him and she reports later she heard other officers in the cell. She went to check on him herself at about 11:30 am, without noting anything unusual. She returned to the control room, where Andreas S. turned down the intercom volume and she told him to turn it back up. At around noon she claimed she heard splashing sounds and told Andreas S. it was his turn to check. She originally said that after the fire alarm went off, Andreas S. turned it off twice. When another different alarm went off, he went to check what was going on. Gerhard M. followed Andreas S. downstairs to the cells, where they found Jalloh alive but burning to death. His final word was "Fire".

The police suggested that Jalloh had burnt himself to death, using a lighter to ignite the foam mattress he was lying on in the cell. One appeared in an evidence bag several days after Jalloh's death."

An independent autopsy report found that he had a broken rib, a broken nose and a fracture at the base of his skull, indicating that Oury Jalloh may have been tortured before his death. During the investigations it was found that there had been at least two previous incidents, where persons held in custody had died after being locked up in the same police station (due to internal injuries or fracture of the skull).

One police officer has been suspended, another was displaced to a different station. The charges (of murder) against them were, however, ultimately dismissed by the court.

2. The NSU (National Socialist Underground)

They were a German Neo-Nazi militant organization uncovered in 2011 and they were responsible for several murders during these years. The article is a long one (even more so in German), but what's important here is that it's also an example of police being "blind on the right eye".

They didn't consider or straight up ignored evidence for a right-wing / fascist motivation behind the crimes (all intended victims were (descendants of) immigrants) but instead suspected immigrant clan-feuds to be the motif, despite a lack of evidence for that.

3. NSU 2.0 / The Frankfurt Chat Group

In December 2018, a far-right chat group within the Frankfurt police force came to light. A fax sent by the group, which issued threats against the daughter of NSU victims’ attorney Seda Başay-Yıldız, was signed 'NSU 2.0' in reference to the National Socialist Underground.

The officers have been suspended from duty and are facing disciplinary consequences; however, they are not being prosecuted because the content of their chats is deemed far-right but not criminal. In the abstract, this might seem understandable, but when you look at the specific chats, it becomes deeply disturbing.

It is possible to view the actual chats from the group, as they have been made publicly accessible by a critical satire magazine in collaboration with an initiative for information freedom. If you feel up to it, you can access the real chat logs of the far-right Frankfurt police group through this website and form your own opinion:

But, of course: the devil's in the detail and obviously not ACAB. (I say this as a person, who, for quite some time, was very skeptical towards the ideal of police officers being there to help you or having your best interests at heart).

I just think that with regards to the political situation in Germany right now and the rise of far right and extremist parties, these are cases to be weary of and to keep in mind.

If you have made it to the very end - thank you so much!

I wanted to end this on a positive note. This is the link to a video by a guy, who talks about how he went from transphobe to trans ally:

This might seem a bit random, but I post this here because it is positive case of someone, who makes an argument for talking to one another, despite initial differences - and how progress can be achieved. With the election coming up and families begin often anything but homogeneous, maybe some of you will find this helpful or hopeful!

I could swear I had written next chapter completely but I can't find it????? I'm going to cry

[not-poignant]

Have you been surprised by the popularity of any of your characters? Characters you weren’t sure would catch on but became loved?

Anon, I've been surprised by the popularity of nearly all of my characters.

Augus and Gwyn started out as side "throwaway" OCs in a fanfic because I needed an Unseelie and Seelie representative.

And like, *gestures to all of Fae Tales* - That wasn't a plan! That wasn't meant to be a thing!!

And then, Ash was meant to be a throwaway foil to his brother and *gestures wildly at Ash*

And then like, Efnisien literally gets killed before we even meet him in Game Theory and *gestures to all of everything re: Falling Falling Stars and Underline the Rainbow*

And then also Dr Gary wasn't even supposed to have proper chapters in Falling Falling Stars and *gestures so wildly at that story and Underline and then screeches like a dinosaur*

Seriously none of my original writing on AO3 would exist if it wasn't for two throwaway OCs in a fanfic gaining popularity and getting so many questions about them from the most wonderful anons and readers that eventually I had to take them more seriously to the point that I finally had enough to write a story.

And even THEN it was only supposed to be 3 chapters of hatefucking.

My original writing career can be defined by just saying 'OH OOPS' in more extreme ways each time.

It's gotten to the point where I'm truly tempted to introduce characters from new worlds upcoming as side characters in current worlds lmao, because I feel this is a bizarre skill I have and didn't know I had until one day I was like 'wait.'

winter home life w mattheo

headcanons of modern!au matty riddle since i clearly cannot envision slytherin boys within hogwarts (at least not right now haha)

⤿ baking cookies w mattheo:

- he would have the biggest sweet tooth and insist on making sugar cookies w you

- unfortunately, you're in the middle of prep for your gingerbread house making afternoon w the girlies

- rolling out the dough to eventually cut out and throw into the oven, mattheo wraps his arms around your waist from behind, moving along with your movements.

- three hours until your friends arrive, including cooling time and icing prep. u have no time to waste and cannot afford to be distracted by your boyfriend's (loving) neediness

- "but just picture us decorating little reindeer cookies, babe," he would whine

- "mattheo do you not see that im a bit preoccupied right now. we can make sugar cookies another day."

- "tomorrow?"

- you sigh, giving in, "fine. tomorrow."

- he smiles, giving you a kiss on the cheek and walks off, satisfied.

- "can't wait!" you hear him say from the other room.

⤿ ice skating w mattheo:

- he'd be freakishly good for some odd reason

- and make you guys come with friends so that he could show off skate on his own for a bit

- imagine him leisurely gliding across the ice with his hands tucked into his black wool trenchcoat's pockets, perfect hair flowing from the wind of his swiftness

- and then you're hobbling your way around, holding a death grip onto your friends' arms

- draco and theodore (bless them) would wince at every little movement you pull, scared you'd fall and they would have to face mattheo's wrath for the unsaid task of keeping u from getting hurt

- but mattheo would take both your hands and pull you around the ice, gracefully skating backwards at speeds you were apprehensive of at first, then eventually giving into the thrill of it

- there'd be classic side-by-side skating as well, but mattheo wouldn't mind your death grip because he's always got his girl's back

⤿ watching movies w mattheo:

- chocolate, popcorn, candies, hot chocolate, various other junk food, all sprawled across your apartment's coffee table

- you're absolutely zoned into what thousandth xmas movie you decided to play on the television this december

- mattheo is right there under the same blanket, snuggling your body into the crook of his arm

- he's not paying much attention to the movie as he doesn't find them all too amusing, but likes being with you

- so if he has to cuddle on the couch with your attention elsewhere for 2 hours, then on the couch he will be.

- that's not to say he doesn't secretly have his favourite movies... and sometimes he does pay attention to what you're watching,

- but he's more interested in spending time with you than some remake of a remake

- snuggling deeper into his hold, he kisses the top of your hair

- you go to wrap an arm around his torso and he pets your hair

⤿ building a snowman together:

- very determined on working your plan into fruition, you're building a sweat through the 4 layers of clothing you bundled on beforehand

- pushing balls of snow this way and that, packing bald areas with more snow, and smoothing out the edges into a rounded surface, mattheo watches you in amusement with his hands in his pockets and mouth tucked into his scarf

- "matty won't you please help me?" u heave, sitting into the snow with a loud plop.

- "oh but babe, you're doing so well already, I'd only interfere," he crouches to your level and gives your red nose a kiss

- "yeah and it's taking a lot of work"

- "yet you still look so cute," he grins at you, standing back up.

- grumbling your way back into an upright position, you get back to work on your snowman.

- but poor you didnt notice mattheo packing his own ball of snow, that is until you turn around and it's hurtled right into your face.

- "MATTHEO–"

- you hastily brush off the cold powder and run after him now

- he tries to escape but falls and you tackle him

- you're just giggling at each other until a truce is decided and you go inside

- unfinished snowman long forgotten

Day 6: Conditioning / Mind control / Forced to hurt someone else Characters: The Psychic 7 Warnings: Brief mention of animal death Summary: Everyone was giving their all, and yet Ford could hardly bring himself to move.

His shaking hand was outstretched before him.

Otto had frozen the water; it hadn't given them the advantage they'd hoped for. Somehow L--Mal--she was stronger than they could have ever imagined.

Please, Ford thought. I can't.

She was cackling as she destroyed Cassie's book, striking her in the face with the water that moved through it.

Ford's heart wrenched, distantly. While some small part of him remembered the hours she had poured into that speech, his eyes were still on her.

Don't make me do this, please.

There was Helmut's monologue, which had brought all of them--including Helmut himself--to tears when they'd all first heard it. It nearly brought her back, and Ford's heart had leaped, but then something snapped within her, and she lashed out even harder.

Ford's hands still shook.

Compton's animals were taken out in a flood. He'd spent all his energy rallying them, all for naught. The animals washed out over the frozen lake, some fleeing, some lying still and quiet.

Why did it have to come to this?

"Ford!" Otto cried out over the wind and raging water. "Do something!"

His hands were shaking.

In the absence of his actions, Bob threw his everything into the fight, summoning plants from beneath the depths. He fought hard, but she fought harder, and a giant, angry wave and watery claw swept at him.

Ford stopped breathing.

"BOB!" "NO!" "DO SOMETHING!"

Before he could think, Helmut flung himself in the way of the watery forms, which sent him crashing clear through the ice.

Ford remembered reaching down with telekinesis, and bringing up nothing. The next thing he knew, the air was full of noise that he could not hear--shouting and screaming and wailing all crashing together into a hellish radio static as he stared into the hole in the ice.

But the fighting had stopped.

Slowly Ford looked up, and he met her eyes, and he could see it--that fleeting flash of horror, regret, agony.

It was gone in an instant, like a raindrop in the sea.

And then she was grinning, eyes wide and manic, rushing toward them on an icy wave.

As much as his heart ached, he knew what he had to do.

I'm sorry, Lucretia.

Charging an agonized psi-blast, Ford ran to fight her.
