not immune to mumbo jumbo

maybe youd feel better if you drew your favorite character more transgender

when i was a kid i had moments of being so fucking diabolical because i realized at some point the best way to leverage power over my family was to do shit that would make everybody late

5th grade was the last time I wore a dress for school pictures. When my parents attempted to force the issue for 6th grade, I climbed onto our roof and pulled the ladder up after me. My dad borrowed the neighbors ladder. As soon as it touched the roof I pulled it up too. By the time I had 3 ladders they were willing to negotiate, and 2 hours late for work.

vampire from the 1800s who accidentally becomes a dad and doesn’t know how things have changed parenthood wise so he just gives his 5 year old laudanum mixed with blood when they can’t sleep and expects them to be self sufficient at age 7

he's trying (and failing) to break the cycle of abuse so he’s not like violent or cold or anything but he still thinks opium is a remedy for insomnia (which technically isn’t wrong but you shouldn’t use it as one) and that he can leave his kids for a few months when busy (on evil business) and they’ll be fine. with other adults who work for him he’s not abandoning them to fend for themselves but he assumes they’ll be totally mentally ok with that and not have any sort of trauma and attachment issues. he also lets them play with knives and dead bodies and teaches them to kill people for fun but that’s not a time period thing that’s a him issue.

ok the latter is kind of a Victorian thing he thinks kids are inherently immoral but also he thinks morality is bullshit rules that let the strong fuck over the weak (which he does anyways but he’s more transparent about it) so he thinks that’s awesome and his kids are smart as hell.

Im glad they made up romance for stories and music but can you imagine how scary it would be to deal with all that for real
