Blah blah Daddy issues and anger issues. The most important part of Orion’s story is how he wholeheartedly believes that he is doomed to a violent and tragic fate but accepts it eagerly because he can make that terrible end into an act of sacrifice that will better the universe. The most important part of Orion’s story is how those around him are split between believing the same yet loving him with no reservation even in anticipation of heartbreak, and those who defy fate and prophecy with the desperate insistence that he will live. If you even care
Still not letting go the hc that Orion can be a little behind on Earth slang and sometimes he will just say the most outrageous and dated colloquialisms during meetings that immediately puts other people into tears as they bypass laughing entirely when he says with the utmost serious expression "This man is note a cool cat, he is in fact a jive turkey."

He is winking and smiling at Orion, who is looking up at him with a neutral expression. Behind them is pink space, with colourful planets and blue/purple haze around them. There is rainbow lighting on the characters and objects. End ID]
