Okay so I already posted this in the comment section of inky mystery but I wanted to post this here on Tumblr cause I haven't seen this talked about on here.

[spoilers for chapter 349]

Ugghh, this chapter was so frustrating. I've been sitting on it for awhile and reading some rants that are have been sympathetic to both Felix and Canola's POV and I can really see both sides of their arguments. They are both right and wrong. Obviously we know that Canola does not have the full context but I also wanted to point out the chapter title for my point as to why both Felix and Canola are both right and wrong. The chapter title is "Imperfect Parents" implying there is multiple parents. What I haven't seen brought up is how Canola is as a parent because she drove her own daughter away due to her protectiveness and not really being there emotionally for Holly. So while Canola is right about a couple things, that being Felix' zaniness and fear of putting his foot down for the boys' in case that's the breaking point of their trust. So I think we should think about that context when it comes to Canola's arguments.

From the context that we have from Holly, her mother really hurt her and I'd go as far as to say it's possibly an emotional neglect wound. But she was physically safe, had a roof over her head and food on the table and Canola seemed to prioritise that sense of safety over Holly's emotional needs. I think there is an interesting parallel between Felix and Canola's parenting styles here. Felix is so gentle in his parenting that I've seen people say that Cuphead and Holly feel more like fit older parental figures to the bbros then Felix. Canola is kind of the opposite, she provides all you need physically but she is emotionally distant.

Hopefully this doesn't feel like a bash on Canola's character, people have just had whole essays about Felix so I wanted to focus on Canola to bring something I haven't seen talked about to the inky mystery essay/rant table.

Wonderful chapter as always to Tap, Mercowe, Specs and everyone else on the inky mystery crew. I'm so excited to see how Felix handles these revelations and difficulties.
