#( this makes Lydia's over protective mother look tame in comparison )

Big brain moment with my ocs crossing over:

Eleanor would absolutely get invested in the scummy practices of Cassie's dad and probably write an article about it. Once she realizes the impact it has on Cassie and what her article might've influenced a bit, she takes a lot of pity on Cassie and tries to resolve her past mistakes by helping her house. (Like giving her a space to live in, maybe pitch a book idea to her to try to clear her name, but Cassie ultimately doesn't take it up). This doesn't cover the whole shock Eleanor would go through if she wrote about Cassie's dad, then took up the Blackwater Masscare-VDLG story she has in her main verse, and then met Cassie through that story.

I feel like Eleanor and Cassie would sort of relate to one another with having shady/criminal parents. Eleanor being the daughter of two train robbers/outlaws and being taken in by her grandmother. She always wanted to know her parents, which is partly why she investigates criminals (like Dutch) to try to get a better idea of what their mindset was like. But also having the void feeling of having no parents, but being taken in by someone. So he had no connection with her parents, only her caregiver/guardian. Cassie knew her dad, of course, but was blind to his criminal practices and was manipulated half of the time. But Cassie also feels a disconnect with her father, who he was and how she never got close to him. This only got worse when she learned of her father's schemes.
