Happy Friday, folks! :D Where is Shera going with this, I wonder?

Today's Friday Flare post is a little Jack and Gwen sketchy doodle, if you'd like to pop on over to look :3

Thanks so much for reading, folks, and see you guys next week! <3

Why do I have the feeling that this line of thought is going to devolve into "motive for helping Stiles is collaborators from Deca may have better lives if the Danrir win"? I may be wrong, but it kinda looks that way from what I see.

The motive was "being a decent person coupled with trying to keep siblings out of trouble."

Yay FF! Drinking coffee together is the best coffee!

Hmm if that all is known, then they should have done something ages ago...

...but now they want to make an example of them and take her siblings away...

@alt text: sorry? what??? sorry, I do not understand what you mean there...

@R/N: thank you for the FF ♡ *hugs Rufi* ♡

"@alt text: sorry? what??? sorry, I do not understand what you mean there..."

What I think it means is that while the last speech bubble tries to explain motivation, the people in the hearing room kind of zone out as the case drones on, with the possible exception of Nemi's friends.

Expounding on socioeconomic whatnots to "explain motivation" when you've just forcibly silenced the suspect who's right there and more than willing to explain herself in her own words? It's a bore-to-death-attack, is what it is, I tells ya.

The people who're not powerless observers know damn well what's going on and they're willingly complicit, but that doesn't mean they'll be interested in the well-known-to-be-meaningless minutiae. Like bullshit speeches.

This Shera type might as well wear a beard, don an olive army cap, and hold forth on socialism for a couple hours. It'll have about the same useful content.

I tried to find the relevant YouTube clip from the 1982 movie MegaForce, but sadly my search-fu was not strong enough.

There’s this great scene where a flunky is reading a prepared speech to a bunch of factory workers under armed guard about how they are being ‘liberated’ as they are forcibly removed from their place of work, while the bored military commander looks on. Then, when the speech is finished, he orders his tanks to level the entire facility.

Those craving vast amounts of cheese might want to seek out this movie, but be warned: it is not ‘deathless cinema’. ^_^
