A comprehensive list of all the reasons Reginald Hargreeves can go fuck himself
1. He bought 7 children when they were infants and didnât give any of them a single ounce of emotional support or love, and exploited them for their powers to become famous. He was a smart man and he knew damn well how fucked up he was making life for these kids but never gave a single shit because he was making money off of them.
2. He raised Vanya to constantly believe that she wasnât special, forced her apart from her siblings and caused an unbelievable amount of damage in her. Instead of raising her to gain control of her powers, letting her understand sheâd have to be put under some control but letting her be one of her siblings, he made her feel excluded during every moment of her life, and encouraged the other children to do the same, never deterring them from mocking and hating her, which caused them to do the same in adulthood because theyâd never been taught any better because yet again, he cared only about money and fame.
3. He locked Klaus in a fucking crypt, knowing full well how traumatic it would be for him and how damaging it would be to his psyche for the rest of his life, and proceeded to shame him for doing drugs when he knows thatâs the only thing keeping him sane. No one ever knew he did this because Iâm sure he threatened Klaus to tell no one, so to this day his siblings think he is insane and a useless addict when he is just trying to escape something none of them could imagine.
4. He didnât see Ben as a kid, he saw him as a monster and he pushed him and pushed him and never told him that he. was. Not. A. Monster. He wrote in his journal that Ben cried himself to sleep, and knowing how much torment he was putting this kid through, he pushed him anyway until he died. Reginald Hargreeves murdered Ben and I donât care what anyone else says about it.
5. He let Allison use her power to get her way when he knew it would ruin her adult life.
6. He couldnât deal with what heâd done to Luther, after years of being shitty to the kid and him still respecting him, he had finally done something he couldnât forgive himself for, so he sent his mistake to the moon alone so that heâd no longer have to look at him.
7. He showed blatant favoritism to Five, constantly letting him put down his siblings, resulting in a lovable but egotistical adult.
8. He never showed an ounce of love or respect for Diego, he didnât care about his stutter and he pushed him to the brink making him feel like one of the most useless of the siblings, aside from Vanya and Klaus.
9. He made Grace and he made her to have feelings, she has the psyche of a human being, and he knew that, and he used and stored the woman like a vacuum cleaner, never appreciating her.
10. And finally, this bastard of a man after all heâd done, took his life to get them back together, in a final stroke to make every single Hargreeves child feel guilty for isolating themselves from each other, when every bit of isolation was on him.
Everyone hates this man, and for good reason. This wasnât really necessary because I think you all get it but Iâm just so invested in these fictional children that a rant was necessary. Thank you for coming to my rage induced Ted Talk.
