Oz i swear to all things good you are KILLING me right now you are absolutely killing me oh my goddddd
I'm like so FREAKING pumped that you gave Tucker his chance to stand tall. Like holy shittt. He's such an amazing character and my goodness he deserves all things good for him. I also love the way you had Sam sort of fail at convincing her parents to break the devices, and it was only when they saw the impact of their actions did they actually do anything. I think that speaks a lot to the Mansons and their mindset in general.
Also OMY CREEPY DANNY??? UHMM SIGN ME UP FOR MORE!! Ahhh I love when ghostly stuff bleeds into his human form!
I can't wait for the aftermath of this situation. Seriously. Like, the moment when Danny finally just like lets Sam and Tucker in on the final piece of the puzzle, when he just trusts them completely with exactly what he is and how he was made, THAT'S gonna be such a defining moment of this fic.
I adore Tucker. I adore him so much. It was a delight to give him some time in this chapter. I honestly do regret not including him earlier in the POV rotation. As in, like, all the way back at the beginning. I initially wanted to stick to the Sam-Danny POV structure to keep things consistent, and I used that excuse for a LONG TIME. I'm far from sorry that, given the nature of this chapter, I was able to break the trend.
HELLA VALID POINTS ABOUT THE MANSONS. I'm trying to show that everything they do and say doesn't always come from a place of pure malice. They are just incredibly self-absorbed and self-righteous, with a whole lot of fear and misunderstanding driving them, and I look forward to what the next few chapters bring for them, specifically. They're going to need to be a part of how I address the fallout, of course. It's just a matter of HOW, lol. Yayyyy for never planning a single word I write.
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID RIGHT THERE. The moment when Danny finally just like lets Sam and Tucker in on the final piece of the puzzle, when he just trusts them completely with exactly what he is and how he was made, THAT'S gonna be such a defining moment of this fic? That is EXACTLY what I've been building to. What this whole fic is about. I am excited and terrified to write it in equal measure.
As always, thank you SO MUCH. Your comments and excitement drive me and inspire me more than I can ever express in words. <3
