Am Ende des Flurs hinter der weißen Tür liegt Mia mit der idealen Geliebten auf der Couch, eine Zigarette zwischen den Lippen, ein abgebranntes Streichholz auf dem Oberschenkel.
"So", sagt Mia und nimmt einen tiefen Zug, "so hat Moritz gerochen." "Als wäre er hier", sagt die ideale Geliebte und streckt zwei Finger nach der Zigarette aus.
The inks are carcinogens, the associated waste (needles, sterile packaging) isn't good for the environment, and the healing can involve infections. Furthermore getting a tattoo is basically voluntary getting a wound for a few weeks
But how does the Methode view piercings? Like you're still intentionally injuring yourself but like
In a smaller area and with basically the same infectious risks
Are all piercings frowned upon? Are some worse than others?? Are they regarded as worse or equal or better than tattoos???
"Ich wil nicht streiten", sagt sie. "Aber deine persönliche Wirklichkeit führt dazu, dass du dich der allgemeinen Wirklichkeit nicht stellst."
"Ganz richtig."
Moritz klemmte die Zigarette zwischen die Zähne und warf seine Angel neu aus.
"Man muss flackern. Subjektiv, objektiv. Subketiv, objektiv. Anpassung, Widerstand. An, aus. Der freie Mensch gleicht einer defekten Lampe."
Bevor Mia etwas erwidern konnte, raschelte es im Gebüsch. Sie schaute auf und dachte an Rehe oder an Riesenbazillen mit Fell und Hörnern, aber was auf die Lichtung trat, war eine uniformierter Polizist.
can you give us your corpus delicti age headcanons? i think only mia and moritz have a canon age
Gladly!
Mia is canonically 34, Moritz is 27
Rest below the cut
While not applicable (being a hallucination and all) do think Die Ideale Gebliebte would be 27 as well because of her stemming from Moritz
Kramer is the kind of man that doesn't really look any age in particular but is at MINIMUM 40, I'd say he's probably like 55ish. Old enough to remember a time before Die Methode, young enough to have gotten passionate about the cause as an up and coming journalist
My crack theory is that he isn't married and doesn't have kids, if we follow canon however his kids are rather young if they're that excited for him to come home. Famous men having kids late isn't that unheard of so I think that's fine
I'm gonna put down 56. Feels like a good number
Sophie, 42. Just feels right yk
Bell is 41.
they're six months apart
Hot take maybe but Rosentreter generally knows what he's doing, if it isn't about Mia's case. Man's got a PhD which the average graduate in Germany is 33 upon completion, let's add a couple of years of praxis experience as a lawyer and we end up with,, I wanna say, 38. Older than Mia but not enough to be noticeable (see also him getting compared to a kid. A Lot)
So I'm actually rereading a few passages for this response and holy shit
Hutschneider is canonically 60! Not really surprised about this as much as Juli Zeh giving a concrete age
I don't have a strong opinions about Würmer, let's say 39. He kind of reads like Jan Böhmermann to me so I want to keep it in that ballpark although slightly younger to make the protege relationship with Kramer work better
I'm not certain about Mia's neighbors, Driss reads as very young to me. Let's say 18,19 since it's canonically hard to believe she's an adult,
Lizzie is 30? Maybe? I don't know, old enough to have a daughter who can be alone unattended whilst still causing havoc
Die Pollsche is probably also in her mid- to late 20s given the dialogue in "Pfeffer"
HOWEVER I think it'd be really funny she was actually this random old widow staying at the Wächterhaus for like,, community building and inclusion reasons. So die Pollsche is 70 to me, as a treat.
And yeah I think that's everyone! Tell me what you think, especially if you disagree with me
"Allein die Methode hat dem Menschen den Gar aus gemacht", sagt die ideale Geliebte. "Was bleibt, ist die Person. In der Mehrzahl: Leute. Aber du, mein Schatz, tanzt aus der Reihe. Du bist rin Mensch. Dafür liebe ich dich."
