Imagine a group of large burly men approaching you and you literally can't see their faces and judge their intentions

Like we all obviously know about Spencer being parantified to an gigantic degree.... but the way he says, and I QUOTE, how he cant imagine a world where he is not Diana´s caregiver? How he saw his dad walk away and his first instinct was to try and fill in his role? ("You are weak" "I am not weak") and how he repeats this in his darkest moment, way later as an adult?

Diana didn't appear herself nearly as much for casting reasons, but when she DID show up, it was during very poignant moments to really drive home Spencers idenity besides his job....or rather, lack of.

Think about it, he tried to distance himself from her since he left her in care and even then he just sadly looking at her from afar- and yeah, it obviously plays on his guilt of having to force her out of her house, but there is also a certain magnetism that he would always end up by her side in some way. Revelations drive this point even less subtly lmao

Obviously loving your disabled parent, especially when there is no other parent, is like.... evident xd but Spencer is not, under any way, shape or form, a healthy person even before he was tied and tortured for two days. Or saw his girlfriend die. Or was shot. Or went to prison- you get the point.
