I wonder if there were times when Norton did want to try to fit in when he was younger and in the mines, but didn't know how to. Before he started to despise himself and everyone who was okay with this life and not seeking to escape it.

like a group of workers stopping at the same time to have a meal they packed together and he would just watch wondering if one day he could be included or invited

listening to some coworkers joke and look out for each other and Norton wondering if he could have something like that too.

Norton seeing a coworker saying goodbye to his family for the day just before work and noticing that the family seems content and have genuine care for each other despite the poor conditions. And wondering if that is possible for him one day.

but his reputation with the other workers was likely already set in stone and there was no changing it for the better, only worse.

The golden boy who all the employers love for his hard work and dedication.... "Making the other workers look bad"...and them becoming resentful towards Norton. and I wonder if Norton's Father and his hard work actually sealed his fate socially as well orz "That weird kid has got no one" "Hes got his father to blame for that, he put us all in a tight spot makin' us all look like lazy sons of bitches. He got what was comin' to him"

gosh orz I hope there was at least SOME of the workers who tried to befriend Norton and maybe by that time it was too late and Norton didn't want anything to do with 'friends' or anything like that. Now viewing them all as objects just getting in his way to freedom aahhhh orz

Minty, it looks like ya man got a woman 👀 how ya feel about phee and ya man

I haven't seen the second season but TBH good for Tech!

I have not met Phee yet but if this is gonna be a romance, I hope it's good. I have a lot of feelings about how Star Wars has written romance in the past (Reylo, the whole "Sand" speech) so I hope this one is well written and ends happy. I want my boys to be happy and live happily ever after, no one spoil the second season for me rip

Okay, so I am watching all the detective Orpheus stuff and different things are standing out to me and the most prominent thing that I probably should have realized forever ago but

almost every time Alice's mom is shown in trailers and such she has THOSE SIMILAR SHAPED WINGS AS MISS NIGHTINGALE (the only time you don't see her with the wings on her shoulders is when Orpheus is telling the story and self inserting himself in Alice's place.)

NOW

every time Orpheus thinks back on Alice he views her as TWO people

The only time he sees Little Girl alone is after this scene in the Little Girl Trailer:

then little girl is alone and trapped

being referred to as 'My Nightingale' and "HIS' unfailing bait" and she is a bird that is caged just like Miss Nightingale, she ain't going much of anywhere in that cage petticoat

maybe she could shuffle along but I dunno, maybe portals around the manor lol I don't knowww

ANYWAYS back to the point:

Detective Orpheus is obviously unhinged as heck but he refers to Alice as the 'little girl with her mother' Then I saw somewhere that Miss Nightingale 'visits him' 'haunts him' (so that got me thinking that is where the 'mom alice' went/became in his mind and she haunts him in a way) but I couldn't find it anywhere to see for myself so I am throwing that out until there is some way to see for sure.

but she appears to him as much as little girl does, both guiding and helping people

but back to my REAL POINT:

He sees Little Girl, as the Alice he knew. and This grown up lady that he calls her 'Mom', in place of present Alice

So Orpheus's psycho brain seeing this lady as the mom of little girl and his brain starts piecing together this woman that is a mixture of: -present Alice(who is actually standing there in front of him), -with her actual mother(with her iconic feathers), -and the nightingale The only three things he remembers at first and that his alter ego wants captured to use as BAIT likely to weaken the main orpheus ego so he gain take control again like before the da capo game takes place and his evil plottings. because the nightingale/Alice is his weakness

goodness gracious this is a mess, whenever I am diggin into Orpheus stuff and how he thinks its all so messy LOL

but I made this its own post cause its more Miss Nightingale centered

now to finish that Detective Orpheus ask that inspired all this 👀

So, I've been thinking about the Magic Item Keeper skin for Norton again and I had a THOUGHT

That version of him is likely the one that knows about all his other versions and can keep tabs on them 👀 With all them magic items, one of them has GOT to provide the possibility to watch other realities 👀

anyways back to drawing LOL

[mintytealfox]

something I wrote out but didn't keep in the last post cause it didn't really fit with the theme of insecurity its just thoughts lol

Norton's intrusive thoughts, before the explosion and the obsession over finding the gold and getting out of there, he was likely having intrusive thoughts that were bothering him, alarming him on how intense and horrible they were, 'blow up a mine with all of my competitors in there?? who would even do that? why?? I would never!' But now, after the fact, its the opposite, 'care?? why should I care?? I threw out any ability to care when I carried out the explosion….she is a snob and doesn't deserve what she has. I have to put an end to her to get what I need. That's it, I am the one in need, I am the one who works hard and does the impossible. I need…….I can't care…..I've gotten so far…..why now….I can't…..no I HAVE TO…..but….' (I think he also parades his scar on his face to give him a reason to hate people and justify what he is doing. Any bad look shot his way cause of his scar gives him another excuse that he is doing what he needs to. Even though he knows deep down he is going down a horrible path. He is doing all he can to justify. orz The fact that it still isnt working when he is putting all this effort in to justify and throw away the good in him, really points to how strong his moral compass really is and how good of a person he was. That good in him refusing to go away and this da capo business will either be the final nail to seal away and bury the good in him forever OR the good in him busting out full force again)
