I’m going to start off by telling you all something you probably already know: Norman is abusive. I try not to use super strong language on this blog because calling someone abusive / toxic is a pretty big deal, but Norman is an abuser, full stop. Aside from the obvious physical violence though, there’s a lot of emotional trauma he causes Ruby through his actions— this post is mostly going to be talking about Norman’s emotional abuse and how it affects Ruby’s psyche and actions throughout the arc instead of just “oh he punched his son down some stairs” because I think it goes way deeper than that. With that out of the way, the rest of the post is below the cut!

This bit from the fossil Pokemon incident. Apparently Ruby already displays some of his fathers trademark temperament. It confirms his behavior is directly impacted by Norman, even if only “inherited” here.

Dolly Parton and her husband were at a bank and the teller was a red-haired girl named Jolene who seemed to be a little flirty with her husband.
