Auf Instagram hat der offizielle Fragezeichenaccount nach wilden ???-Theorien gefragt; zwar sind meine Theorien nicht besonders wild, aber ich habe es trotzdem zum Anlass genommen eine Cotta-Theorie zu kommentieren, was ich nun wiederum zum Anlass nehmen werde hier hemmungslos meine Cotta-Headcanons zu posten:

- sein Vorname beginnt ebenfalls mit C (und ist viel allgemeiner und normaler, als irgendwer vermutet)

- Catperson (obviously!!?)

- Er macht sehr starken Kaffee, kriegt es aber gar nicht mehr so mit, weil er sich so dran gewöhnt hat und ist immer ganz verwundert, wenn Gäste ihm sagen, dass sein Kaffee so stark ist

- he's somewhat queer

- Wenn er zuhause ist, zieht er überwiegend kuschelige Hoodies und einfache Pullover an, die Hemden sind ausschließlich für die Arbeit oder Dates/Special Occasions

- er hört überwiegend pre-2000s Musik

- er ist ein Hufflepuff

- er wirkt auf andere sehr viel weniger geheimnisvoll als er das gerne hätte

- er trägt nie schmuck, hat an seinem Schlüsselbund aber einen sehr subtilen Anhänger von Caroline

- er hat nie eine Karte der Fragezeichen weggeworfen. eine liegt immer noch auf seinem Schreibtisch bei den ganzen wichtigen Zetteln

- Gummibärchen > Schokolade

- früher war er immer erreichbar, mittlerweile könnte nur ein Großfeuer auf dem Schrottplatz ihn aus seinem Urlaub nach Rocky Beach holen

Bonus:

- einer der Fragezeichen hat ihn als "Inspector Dad" eingespeichert (Peter?)

I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.

He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense

[status-quo-hater]

Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.

My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM

„Die Frau in Frankreich holt er sich zwölf Tage nachdem dein Vater ihm entwischt ist.“

Dass Leo das Datum so schnell im Kopf hat bricht mir ein bisschen das Herz

[tea-earlgrey]

Versuch, das Datum zu ermitteln

Uns fehlen einige Informationen und die Timeline in HdW ist bekanntlich ja sehr chaotisch, aber man kann sich wie folgt annähern und den Zeitraum mehr oder weniger genau eingrenzen

Informationen aus Herr des Waldes:

~min. 27.08 Pia im Archiv “REPORTS MAY 2003 Mutilated murdered woman found in forest, Foret de Lérouville, Region Grand-Est, April 14th, 2003, Missing thigh bone[...]"

ACHTUNG: 2003 ist vermutlich ein Tippfehler. Alle anderen Informationen deuten auf 2006 hin!

~min. 29.07 Pia: “[...] Eleanore Morel wurde am 4. Mai 2006 gefunden, lag wohl schon ein paar Tage und wies starke Spuren von Tierfraß auf. Das Herz fehlte, aber der Pathologe hat damals in seinem Bericht vermerkt, dass die Herzkranzgefäße, wie abgerissen aussahen. Der Leiche fehlte außerdem der rechte Oberschenkelknochen. Ja, und die beiden Leichen in Italien wurden am 15. März 2013 nach einem großen Waldbrand gefunden [...]"

~min. 1:17.30 Jahrbuch von Adam  Peter Lausch hat am 1.08.2006 die Nachfolge von Mattias Gorenflo angetreten. Seine erste Klasse war der Philosophiekurs der 11er d.h. das Jahrbuch ist wahrscheinlich Schuljahr 2006/2007

~min. 1:18.20 Leo: "[...]Als dein Vater damals aus dem Wald kam, hat er gebluetet. Weil er dem Lehrer begegnet ist. Der Lehrer fährt jedes Mal weit weg, sucht sich seine Opfer im Wald. Dazwischen wartet er normalerweise viele Jahre, doch die Frau in Frankreich holt er sich 12 Tage nachdem ihm dein Vater entwischt ist.” Adam: “[…]er schnappt sich seine Frau und den kleinen Clemens und zieht nach Saarbrücken um ihn im Auge zu behalten und zu schauen wann er aufwacht.”

Wenn man davon ausgeht, dass die Jahreszahl oben im Archiv ein Schnitzer ist, dann haben wir eine Zeitspanne für den Mord an Eleanore Morel von Anfang April bis Anfang Mai

Informationen aus anderen Quellen:

Zur Eingrenzung hilft ein Schulferienkalender von 2005/06, weil Lausch ja trotzdem schon Lehrer war und sicher nicht während des Schuljahres mal eben so ein paar Tage verschwinden kann, um Menschen im Wald zu jagen:

Die Winter- und Pfingstferien passen aufgrund der Daten nicht.

Leo sagt, dass 12 Tage zwischen dem Angriff auf Roland Schürk und dem Mord an Eleanore Morel liegen. Man kann der Einfachheit halber also alle Bundesländer mit weniger als 12 freien Tagen (inkl. Wochenenden) um Ostern 2006 vernachlässigen.

Ostern war 2006 übrigens vom 13.-17.04. x

Berechnung:

Daraus ergibt sich ein Zeitfenster für beide Angriffe des Lehrers von Samstag dem 01.04. bis zu Sonntag dem 23.04.2006. Für die Einzelpersonen heißt das:

Roland Schürk: 01.04.-12.04.2006 Eleanore Morel: 12.04.-23.04.2006

Erklärung:

Wurde RS am 01.04. erschlagen, wurde EM - je nachdem, wie man Leos "zwölf Tage nachdem" versteht - 12.04. oder 13.04. ermordet.

EM wurde spätestens am 23.04. ermordet, was - mit gleicher Einschränkung s.o. - den Angriff auf RS spätestens auf den 12.04. bzw 11.04. legt.

Roland Schürk wurde demnach zwischen dem 01.04. und dem 12.04.2006 von Lausch angegriffen und später von Leo in der Garage niedergeschlagen.

Des Weiteren ist möglich:

Der Artikel, den Pia findet, erwähnt den 14.04. als Datum des Fundes von Eleanore Morels Leiche. Korrigiert man das Jahr und berücksichtigt, dass die Leiche schon ein "paar Tage" lag und starke Spuren von Tierfraß aufwies, ist der 12.04. für den Mord an EM möglich (wenn auch unwahrscheinlich).

Den Angriff auf Roland Schürk (und den Spatenschlag) könnte man demnach auf den 01.04.2006 datieren.

Let me tell you a story.

I am an archeologist. I specialize in a somewhat obscure but by no means boring or meaningless Neolithic culture in Germany.

It has a Wikipedia page. A well curated, surprisingly extensive Wiki page that encapsulates all the important information about the culture, including literature references for further research.

One day, we asked Chat GPT about this culture. W were curious which details it would get wrong.

ALL OF THEM, except for the fact that it's a culture in present day Germany.

It didn't even get the chronological time frame wrong and called it a celtic culture.

When we told it it's wrong, it came at us with made up literature sources. Literally made up. It took two well known German archeologist who weren't even active at the same time, added a year - both were already dead - and sold that as source.

And it LITERALLY would only have had to quote Wikipedia to get everything right.

THAT is how unbelievably shitty and wrong all those AIs are.

They are making shit up. They are not sourcing information, they're just slapping words together by their most like relative occurance.

Do not trust ChatGPT or any other so-called AI ever.

She’s built different 😌

Look i tried to laugh it off, but I haven’t stopped thinking about this message because… my cat literally isn’t green

[gothicprep]

Oh Christ

[sapropel]

This is the color your cat is

[lazygravez]

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

I drew a tree using only colours eyedropped from OP's cat.

[karakats]

every time i see this post all i see is some green alien kitty with antennae so i had to draw it

[bogleech]

I originally thought those were supposed to be mushrooms, implying that this cat is moldy

[tanuki-pyon]

idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.

[bauliya]

so women are supposed to grin and bear the books, the comics, the movies, the plays, the tv shows, the stories, the sci-fi, the translated ancient poems, the fucking millennia of men writing about their self inserts torturing women and it being declared as High Art by other men, we’re supposed to read it in our free time, study it in classrooms, include their styles in our own writing, accept their cultural influence as natural, watch it in the cinema, write about it, talk about it, accept it, aspire it, but men can’t tolerate three seconds of female wish fulfilment of a woman snapping the wrist of a creep without feeling personally kicked in the balls.

[darkshrimpemotions]

This reminds me of something I observed in college while I was doing my honors thesis on women in modern horror films. I watched a LOT of horror during that time as part of my research, and sometimes that was done with my family around.

And my dad and brothers? Were deeply disturbed by the movie Jennifer’s Body. I was flabbergasted. It’s not scary! It’s not even that gory. But they were horrified by it. These men who grew up on 70s slashers were legitimately shook by 90 minutes of Megan Fox eating a few teenage boys, mostly off-screen.

Similarly, my all-male reading panel for my thesis? Were so disturbed by my synopsis of the film Teeth that they couldn’t even talk about it. One of them said he couldn’t look at his wife for a week after reading it.

Again, grown-ass men who study and teach media for a living. Who definitely watch and enjoy horror movies. One of whom was a huge Tarantino buff. We watched and read worse in his intro to mass media class! But one movie about a girl whose vag could bite was enough to haunt him.

Then of course you have things like the Gone Girl backlash–men yelling that Amy Dunne is evil and women clamoring to assure everyone that they know she is not someone to emulate–the backlash against Carol Danvers, and, more recently, the griping from MRAs against the upcoming film Hustlers, which is about strippers scamming their Wall Street clients.

My conclusion? Most men–at least most straight, cisgender men, who are both my sample population and most of the ones whining that Carol is a “villain”–are perfectly fine with, and desensitized to, media where men do violence to women (horror movies), or men do violence to men (horror and action movies). They’re even sort of fine when women do violence to women (“ooooo cat fight!”).

But they get intensely uncomfortable when women are depicted doing any kind of violence to men, especially in films that tilt the balance of power to the other side of the m/f gender binary beyond a single moment or scene.

So woman as flesh-eating monster with men as her preferred cuisine? Woman who responds to unwanted sexual contact by biting it off? Woman who frames her cheating husband for murder? Woman whose response to harassment–behavior that many of the loudest whiners know is both creepy and reflective of their own thoughts/actions–is to break something?

Too scary. Unacceptable. Disturbing. These men hate being presented with the idea, even in fiction, that their position of power is socially constructed, that it could easily be flipped the other way. It terrifies them.

In feeling that terror, they experience a tiny modicum of what living, existing, moving, being perceived as a woman in the world is like.

And they flinch every time.

Here have a newspaper comic from 1993

[youaremysunshine-court]

the main thing that makes thorn such a compelling charcater is how he goes from the most independent person in the world who doesnt trust anyone to someone who listens to ophelie treats her like an equal and does as she asks without questioning her while at the same time continuing to treat the rest of the world like dirt

[loraculis]

I never interpreted Ophélie's clumsiness for quirkiness, to me, it was evident that she was somewhat disabled. After her mirror accident, she had to get re-educated, but still has lifelong motricity issues.

[nanami1ss]

english readers of the mirror visitor will never get the joy and excitement when they went from referring to each other as “vous” to “tu”
