It was a crime to force me out of bed and into the office today.

Have you seen those ads for like anxiety relief hoodies on social media? Say Munakata or someone at Scepter 4 saw this and gifted it to Fushimi since he seems to wear a lot of hoodies. Now on days off it's all he ever wears and he's so chill during those times. They're oversized and cozy/soft I bet he'd love it
Why did this immediately make me imagine Fushimi as a dog wearing a thunder shirt XD I bet he would like a nice big oversized hoodie, he could hide a bunch of knives in it. Imagine Munakata buying this for him as a gift like shortly after Fushimi joins S4, Munakata wanted to get him something so that Fushimi could feel nice and relaxed in his new clan. Of course Fushimi never feels nice or relaxed anywhere so he just rolls his eyes at the gesture, like what a waste I didn’t come here for you to give me presents. Munakata says even so, the dorms are cold in the winter so please dress accordingly. Fushimi clicks his tongue but takes the hoodie, it’s not worth arguing with Munakata when he’s being all sparkly like this and anyway the hoodie isn’t so bad as far as gifts go, at least Munakata didn’t gift him a sentimental puzzle.
Fushimi didn’t bring a ton of clothes along to S4 anyway so as soon as it gets even a little cold he starts looking for something to burrow his skinny little frame into. He grabs the hoodie Munakata gave him and throws it on and it turns out to be very comfy, it’s super warm and maybe this is even like one of those weighted hoodies for extra calming effect. Munakata didn’t tell Fushimi that this is specifically for anxiety relief (because then Fushimi really would have refused to wear it) so Fushimi thinks this is just an unexpectedly comfy hoodie, he probably assumes Munakata used some of the S4 budget to buy him a fancy hoodie and that’s why it’s so nice. Munakata will spot Fushimi all huddled up at his desk in his nice calming hoodie and just smile to himself, it seems the gift is working as intended.

Expression/sticker sheet commission for DJBlueWolf! The smirk sticker is a reference to a shot of Mr. Wolf in The Bad Guys. Also, normally I do canine-style YCH’s, but DJ requested this one be Tem-shaped. :3

honestly, it's really interesting thinking about how the events of the desert dream in 1998 would get blown out of proportion in the coming years ; hell, it already kinda is twenty-four hours later. not only does the fbi get involved ( and they get involved quick ) but the entire thing is immediately labeled as 'the desert dream massacre' which is ... simply not true. if tyler doesn't kill joyce and michelle isn't shot then the total body count is four cops, with two on life support from the motel burning down. this is literally confirmed in game!
events get labeled as massacres if there's a huge body count, or if it's violent enough. the desert dream killings were neither. all the victims were shot, usually at a distance, or they suffered from burns ; which, while violent, it was more of an escape attempt on the holts' part than anything else. i also find it telling that, even if the holts kill a hostage or two, agent bradley doesn't bother mentioning that in private. all he cares about is the cops lost to the standoff. it's no surprise that killing an officer will get you a more severe punishment then if you kill a regular person, that it can sometimes send you straight to death row on its own, but the fact they don't even care about the deaths of any of the hostages ... it sure is something.
especially since the only hostage deaths in the desert dream can turn the only two kids in the game into orphans. or on the flip side, if the holts didn't harm a hostage, there's no mention of that either. or how the hostages were treated, which compared to usual hostage situations, they got it better than most. it's just the fact that they killed cops ( who were under the thumb of a corrupt sheriff, by the way ) that made this into a massacre. though i wouldn't be surprised if to the public the force would then heavily focus on any other victims, that's usually what happens normally, after all.
anyway, point is, classism does play a role in how cases and crimes are treated -- especially back then. the holts were poor, notoriously so, and they were a family full of drop-outs with nothing to their names. the very second they escape the motel, their names are plastered all over the country and their fates ( including jay's, who's merely an eighteen year old who was an accomplice at best ) are decided : they're going straight to death row. even if jay tries to do the right thing and come clean to agent bradley, tries to turn on his family, said guy immediately goes to pin all the murders on him, for seemingly no reason at all! it's very unjust, and ah ... shady!
the news and papers hype up their crime spree and i wouldn't be shocked that within a couple years, the holts would be presented as bloodthirsty rednecks who were simply greedy rather than a family that didn't have any help and got in way over their heads. the narrative would be twisted so much, especially if three of the holts were never found. there'd be no word from their side, no mention of the thugs who were threatening to kill them, just a true crime story where they were at the forefront of a very unfortunate situation and got away with it. leaving gossips to fill in the blanks as they please, and considering the police's and the fbi's behavior towards this case, they would only fuel the narrative that the holts were a family who did all this on purpose and relished in the aftermath, a family who loved doing the crime.
anyway, it's just something i love thinking about for post canon stuff when it comes to my adf muses. how wildly inaccurate the story's become in time, simply because people got bored or because of the classism back then that was so woven into the broadcasted crime that it's become impossible to separate the two. they'd paint the holts out to be wildly dangerous, cruel individuals and probably spin tales about unsolved murders and robberies and how it could be the work of a holt who had got away. their entire motivation would be obscured and would've gone unsaid, leaving random civilians and a force who hates them to speak for them instead. it'd be a whole thing! and the desert dream was dramatic, sure, but by the time everything is said and done you'd probably barely recognize what the media was talking about had you actually been there.
