In S02E04 of Broadchurch we have that infamous hotel scene. Hardy is sitting on the bed waiting for Miller, and in this sequence I always assumed that he was just playing on his phone while he waited since we see him put it on the bedside table when he gets up

But I looked a little closer at the start of the scene and

(oh my god, hardy you awkward fucking turtle)

He wasn’t using his phone. It’s off. He’s just sitting there, staring blankly into space.

And he’s in such a trance that he doesn’t move until Miller’s like ‘hey, you’re on the covers. get off.’ Then he mumbles sorry, and gets into bed, still in his fucking suit, and lays there immobile, unblinking, like

help him

someone please help alec hardy

New Alec Hardy drawing!

I hate it with passion.

Here's my thoughts with alec as a dad.

I dont see alec as the type to ever raise his voice at a child. Especially his own daughter. Whatever age she could be. Alec seems like a pushover when it comes to those he loves. Mayve its fear or insecurity. However he can be forgetful, Boarding neglectful.

I know during sandbrook alec and tess had a strained relationship partially due to alec. And I'd go to assume that he wasn't the most present husband or father.

But once you had his attention he was the sweetest man. He probably loved tess and adores daisy. He might not like getting gifts. But daisy and tess got really nice ones. Mayve hardy would get tess something expensive she had her eye on. And he'd get daisy toys or books that she likes. But he never wanted stuff in return.

Hes not perfect. Sometimes he can be aloof. But he's trying.

I dont know. I just really can't see alrc raising his voice at a child ever. I think as a collective fandom we all agree alrc didn't have the best childhood. Perhaps his father was crap he didn't treat hin right. I always HC that his mother loved him but she was neglectful too.

Shed spend time with young alec, she snuggled with hin. But usually it was wee alec caring for his mother trying to push her from a bad depression anyway he could.

He never had people talking down to him, as most adults do with children becsuse of alecs homelife. His mum didnt baby him, nor did his father, so he never learned to associate the tone in any positive way. So when hardy became an adult, he didn't talk down to children Either. He talked to them like they're just little adults.

I could see him talking softly with memories of his fathers own loud rage filled voice. Listening to a child's concerns or excitement, unlike his mother who tuned him out if he talked for too long.

Its very much a hardy treats kids with respect and patients Because no one ever did that with him. So he never learned how

I would say it's funny to think alec was confused as to why tess Baby talked Daisy. Or why she danced around serious topics. And tess each time would drape her arms over his shoulder and tell him, "let daisy be a little girl just a bit longer"

Its a sad thought that Hardy was never allowed to be "a little boy". He has to grow up before he even realised it. Age 6 he already knew how to make himself lunch. Walk to school. Avoid strangers. Age 13 he knew all bad corners and streets. He knew who and what to avoid. As a wean his mum always talked to him like an adult, and if he was lucky his father acknowledged him as more than "boy" or "you" but neither parent babied him. (Keep in mind his father never raised a hand to hardy at this point). The few times his mum came out of her depressive episodes. She was sweet with hardy and kind and gentle. But she didn't like him rambling, so he was a quiet kid. I'd also say those times when she was out of her depressive episodes. She fought with hardys dad a lot.

Hardy would leave the house and explore the area where they lived. Until late into the night. Where his father would be passed out on the sofa and his mum already back in bed crying. Dinner left forgotten.

Id say the vacation to broadchurch was meant to be a positive thing. But his parents argued through the whole thing. (A cute idea i see people have is miller and Hardy met as weans. And she 100% made him play with her.)

Ooh I also thought of his interview with Tom. He was so careful not to raise his voice with him! He waz patient too. Very soft spoken very carefully with his words. Even when at the end, the final interview with Tom. He didn't raise his voice despite his obvious urgency.

Anyway that's all I have. It's just an idea. But I feel hardy is super good with kids. And then that turned into my backstory HC so whoops.

As someone with passive suicidal ideation on the best of days, tonight is really fucking bleak. But I just thought of something that filled me with fire, and I wanted to post it in case it helps someone else.

If they want me dead, they're going to have to kill me themselves. I will not do it for them. I will stand here, alive, just to spite those that want me gone, and I will laugh in their fucking faces at their wrath over my existence until they steal the air out of my lungs.
