rant about garte and zianna romeave, aka the romeave parents. before reading, just know this focuses on them being terrible parents!!
warning: swearing, long paragraphs, mentions of being emotionally manipulative, abusive, etc
zianna and garte both were terrible parents in mys(not speaking on other universes of them since i haven’t watched anything else, even tho i need to). erm, okay. i’m aware we don’t have a lot of information on the parents, but i do think the romeaves have the most. (other than the lycans/shakakla(aphs family..no clue how to spell her last name actually))starting off more with the parent that i hate more that didn’t even try and hide their assholeness, garte! there wasn’t necessarily any actual proof that the romeave parents physically hurt their kids, and i think for the most part they didn’t. i do think it was more emotionally and verbally. the main thing you have to go based off gartes character is the very few moments he showed up and what zane has to say abt him.
what garte acted like when he did show up in the series: he made a ton of jokes abt how zane couldn’t get a girlfriend, called zane a 2/10, doesn’t rlly know his kids very well(in s4, he kept saying that zane would burn the lodge down even tho that’s not smth he would do since he’s way more mature), in pdh- he didn’t do anything to try and stop his kids from arguing and instead took a work call instead of paying attention to his kids, etc. these are just some key moments i remember.. he also bought the street in s3 for them, but like?? let’s be so fr, that was so zianna. anyway, i know all of these are negative but that’s literally the only thing he’s ever shown as. starting off with the comments he made with zane and nana- people often say that this is just how their family jokes, but i disagree with that. maybe they’d be shocked that zane got a partner since he’s shown to be uninterested in love for most of his life which makes sense, but why would you say that he could never get a girlfriend and that he’s ugly? you should NEVER be talking abt your kids that way. insulting your children will not be excused.. it’s not okay, that’s not a joke. garte also used garroth for experiments obv, and yeah that was a clear sign to me that he just sucked and was toxic. (his favoritism could also be another obvious sign)
how garte made zane feel and the world of garte thru zane’s mind/feelings: basically, he just made him like crap is what i get from what zane says. zane canonically has a low self-image (said in wiki, he has said he, himself is ugly too), and i feel like it could be that way due to comments that people have made to him? to me, it’s implied (and maybe said, lowkey don’t remember) that garte, garroth, shadow knights, etc made a lot of negative remarks abt him.
then, zianna. omg, this woman got away with literally all her bad parenting methods. a very good example is her being emotionally manipulative. this is shown towards the end of mys s1, where she is manipulating them into saying zane and aph are dating (which is partly why the whole fake dating arc started tbh). i’m pretty sure zianna saw a pic aph uploaded online, and thought they were dating? the pic was innocent and didn’t seem romantic anyway so idk why she thought that, zane was blushing in the pic i believe cuz he was embarrassed/flustered. anyway, i think garroth and vylad accidentally said that they were dating to make her happy, cuz she was abt to cry. (sure, she may be sensitive, but she got over it way too fast to be real? her reactions were strange.) anyway, later when zane was abt to call her to tell her the truth abt them not dating, gar n vylad tell zane that she was crying over it. they all start to feel guilty over making their mom cry, and so yh. while i do think it’s possible to be that sensitive, im pretty sure she shouldn’t get over it that fast?? i’m aware it’s just a rp, but still. she was being rlly overbearing. i don’t remember this one, but one of the comments i saw on my last post (not my reblogs) mentioned that at the end of s3, she cries to make garroth talk to aaron abt going home. i also don’t remember this one either for some reason but she also said that meifwas are typically mellow and that she should be too. it was just weird to tell her to act a certain way like that?? (zianna also slapped garroth at the end of s6 for being mean to zane. it just wasn’t necessary, she didn’t have to do that. so many other ways to handle it)
anyway, overall they both had terrible parenting methods and seemed abusive. i didn’t go back and fact check any of these (some i didn’t need to go back to cuz i just know they’re right), so im sorry if anything is inaccurate/incorrect! please correct me if anything is wrong.
also, random fact : the first time i watched mystreet wasn’t technically me watching watching it?? i just watched whatever random eps i wanted and chose characters i liked more (zane n lucinda were always my favs). i legit figured out the lore thru gacha reaction vids lmao
i’m sorry for abandoning you guys for like a month, i’ve been busy. this is kind of what i meant by i wasn’t consistent with my posting!
