dr.essterman who dotes on reagent with daddy issues/mommy issues is a need.... what's ur opinion on this how do you think he'd react?
i mean…that’s just the cat’s meow.
easterman would love it. his whole schtick is the family archetype and how he wants to be this loving surrogate father.
the thing is that mommy and daddy issues differ in that ppl w daddy issues tend to want to held, whilst the ones w mommy issues kinda want to do the holding. ofc that’s a generalization, but my point being it would different case by case.
either way, i think he’d be all for it. despite inspiring violence, he has this almost nurturing quality to him. there’s so much power and trust in cradling another in your arms and being a protective, providing figure for the receiver. he wants to feel needed and important, and taking care of another scratches that itch. i could see such a thing being an incentive to a reagent who’s abandoned their sense of self, too far gone. that’s the point, isn’t it? to infantilize the brain and scrub it down to the base functions. craving paternal love would remain, even after most things were expelled.
