LAURENS, your timing is a dream, I just finished the first part of that. It’s going to be a longer thing, because of course it is, and I’m going to post it piecemeal under the tag “Stranger Labyrinth AU” because if people can portmanteau character names into increasingly worrying sexual diseases, I can do that.
It was the
girl’s smile that drew Nancy’s eye, the first time. There was something about it, something
off-kilter and a little familiar—it was the smile of someone laughing at a joke
no one else understood. Harder than pure
humor, somehow, as if looking out at the world and saying you poor oblivious bastards all the while.
There were days
where Nancy lived that smile. She hadn’t gone a day without seeing it on a
face since she was in high school. Her
brother had it, sometimes, her boyfriend, often, she could feel it curve her lips
every time someone suggested a horror movie.
They sort of lost their thrill, when you’d lived one.
So when she saw
the girl sitting alone at a table in the quad, long dark hair swinging loose
and her lovely face turned up toward the sun, Nancy walked over.

Let’s talk about symbolism for a moment: A sparrow landed on Bernie’s podium, but a bald eagle attacked Donald Drumpf (#MakeDonaldDrumpfagain)
Sparrows are bids of:
- Joy
- Inclusion
- Creativity
- Simplicity
- Protection
- Community
- Productivity
- Friendliness
Bald eagles are birds of:
- Opportunity
- Protection
- Guardianship
- Masculinity
- Dominance
- Control
- Freedom
- Community
- Command
- Action
- Authority
- Skill
- Focus
- Determination
- Vision
- Power
- Liberation
- Inspiration
- Ruler
- Judgment
So from an augury perspective, it is fair to say that Bernie has the approval of the sparrow, and Donald lacks the qualities necessary to please the eagle.
BUT BEYOND THAT! Even if you don’t buy into augury, let’s look at bird behavior.
Bernie, with all his hand waving and the volume of his voice attracted the interest of a sparrow, a small, non-predatory animal. This means that despite his motion and volume, it saw him and went “this man is not a threat to me”.
Donald Douche, on the other hand, sat still next to a trained predatory bird, and the bird was so uncomfortable with him that it attacked him. Straight attacked him. He wasn’t waving his arms or being loud, just existing next to the bird it felt threatened and attacked him.
So there’s that.
This is an awesome post.
To be fair, the eagle had a good reason to attack Drumpf. During the shoot, Drumpf was told to hold the bird closer to him because it would be a more steady perch. But instead, he held him as far away from him as possible which made the perch unsteady and nearly dropped him. The second photo, the one of him being attacked at the desk is when he was reaching for the eagle’s tether. The eagle recognized him as ‘that guy that dropped him’ and attacked him.
So to read this into augury- Drumpf was attacked not simply because because he lacks the necessary qualities associated with the eagle, but because the eagle remembers that he mishandles those qualities (protection, opportunity, freedom, etc) in a way that harms them.
The eagle gave him a chance and he blew it.
