sometimes i forget the weight of what happened with nolan, mark n debbie in s1
like underneath all the memes and other events, he really went and said all of that to them, beating them down literally and emotionally "what's another 17 years, i can always make another" "what will you have after everyone you love is gone", comparing debbie to a pet, something along those lines, etc etc, like jesus christ, total detachment
i understand why it happened, his viltrumite upbringing and hes trying to be better now but WOW some horrifying shit
id rather he try to be better than remaining the same of course but man cannot be fr in thinking forgiveness will be handed for effort after everything that was done, you can't just take that back
#invincible#mark grayson#debbie grayson#nolan grayson#hes learning to be human and im sure they both know that but as i said#forgiveness is not transactional or expected with effort#he could be the best human ever after some time and mark n debbie would still have full right to never forgive him#that would be realistic of course . mark i could understand being conflicted because that's his dad and major parental issues are always#muddied in the mind#as for debbie... i wish she stayed with paul#if they are going to push them back together i hope it's done with tact and respect#she deserves respect for all she's had to handle herself that anger she has towards nolan is justified too#nolan should come to understand that his improvement is separate to the forgiveness she may or may not give him#halify#love conflicting feelings towards a parental figure for something egregious they did to you#aawaaa
