Any fanart/fanfiction/fanedit that paints Milton Lynxley in a positive or sympathetic light makes me sick. Especially if it involves Pawbert, either as a child or adult.
Don't even get me started on the "consensual" i***** shit. Absolutely disgusting.
Pawbert was clearly severely abused in every way possible by Milton. I genuinely believe that Pawbert originally wanted to help Gary, and that's why there were no clear signs of betrayal. Why would he even bother with any of this? His family clearly had an upper hand on Gary.
If Pawbert really wanted to appease his father from the start, he would've turned Gary in or fucked him up as soon as he smuggled him in. Or, just gave his father the letter Gary sent.
All the effort Pawbert puts into this plan makes no sense otherwise. Pawbert lives a double life away from his father in the desert, and that feels like the REAL him. He likes Burning Man, kitty cat Toys and colorful culture. The opposite of what his father wants: cold, dark, and uppity.
Pawbert wouldn't have bothered saving Judy. Or give her praise. And he wouldn't have given Gary the files on his family to research the conspiracy of the Lynxley. He wouldn't have snuggled up to Gary multiple times, introduced the cast to his personal tent, or put in any effort to help Gary.
The last minute turn was just that: last minute.
It's clear to me that Pawbert did this because of the absolute control his father has over him and his autonomy. The second there was a risk of Pawbert getting caught, he lost it. Yet the whole time it's clear that Pawbert DOES NOT want to do this. "He doesn't want to change," because he CAN'T. His father has control over his very mind.
The abuse on screen is likely just the tip of the iceberg to what Milton has done to Pawbert. If this is what he does when he wants to quickly make a point, imagine what happens behind closed doors to the "unfavourite."
The implications are clear. His siblings stand like statues and appease their father because they are scared of him. The second Milton hits their brother they looked horrified. Their father gives them subtle praise when they bully Pawbert. Milton has absolute power over all of them.
Nibbles even makes a reference to "three-some and four-some" when she sees the family, and she is VERY observant.
Pawbert very clearly has seperate and distinct personalities who are driven crazy, are made to obey his father without question and overall are not well. One even grovels at his feet and calls him "daddy", talking and acting very child like. He can even LOOK like a child when he talks to Milton.
The trauma bond Pawbert has with Milton is explicit. IMO, the parts of Pawbert's personality that did those violent, disturbed and cold acts towards the main cast were programmed by his father to do his bidding.
There's even a reference to "The Shining", which indicates to me that there is a higher power (Milton) that took control over Pawbert's mind. It even shows the statue his grandfather, AKA the legacy his cannot escape.
Why else would Milton let Pawbert take care of Judy, Nick, and Gary for him? Because Milton knows Pawbert's soul and mind are his puppet.
It's clear that Pawbert is at his father's beck and call in a VERY fucked up way. Pawbert goes between being attached to Gary to betraying him as soon as Milton is nearby. And he looks GUILTY during and after before his betrayal.
The only reason why Pawbert sucks up to his father again in jail is for his own sanity and safety in being stuck in the same cell. He has no choice. What else is he supposed to do?
Pawbert likely didn't even think the main cast would stick around. Judy and Nick barely knew him. Nibbles didn't at all. He probably assumed Gary would leave as soon as he had his family back.
After all, Pawbert's family were the ones who ruined Gary's life. Pawbert likely wasn't used to anyone liking him due to the ostraciztion he had at home. His family was all he had. His father.
Pawbert was doomed from the start, because even if he hadn't betrayed Milton, he would've still lost his fortune, family, home and even his life. His father wouldn't have had mercy. The second Milton caught Pawbert helping the other side, he would've been fucked.
So, yeah. Fuck Milton. He is genuinely evil and I cannot see an ounce of nuance with him.
