//anyway. happy father's day! the only muse i have here who has a good relationship with her father is rosa.
jack's father was horrifically physically abusive to him from a very young age, to an almost comical degree at times. (e.g. breaking jack's leg and then making him take himself to the hospital). also, jack's dad was a white nationalist too. regardless, he's no longer in jack's life, and jack doesn't know where he is now.
spencer's dad was similarly abusive and tried to kill him multiple times, culminating in spencer killing him before leaving home at 18. (and to be fair, his mom also falls under this, even if she didn't contribute directly to the most severe abuse.)
jerry hasn't spoken to either of his parents in well over 10 years and is perfectly happy doing so. if neither of his parents find him again, he'll be fine.
tony and his dad were pretty close, but his dad died when he was very young and tony never fully processed it. to this day, he idolizes his father quite a bit, contributing to his often very negative perception of himself for not *living up* to the man's legacy.
amelia never knew her father, and as far as she's concerned his lack of a presence in her life is a non-issue. he made his choice, and if he ever attempts to connect with her, she isn't going to accept.

rosa and her dad have had their ups and downs, but for the most part they're very close and she calls him every weekend to tell him how she's doing. he took some time to adjust to her being trans, but overall he's ecstatic to spoil his daughter.
#you know this whole thing is one big experiment‚ right? and you're the little mouse? {ooc}#as far as jobs go‚ it's not the best‚ but it's not the worst either {headcanons}#//not gonna do everyone's character tags here i don't think#abuse cw#father's day cw#ask to tag#//and as for my other three active muses. uh. huh. none of them have good relationships w/ their dads either#//lot to unpack there but we're not going to#//also yeah i know i used to kinda enjoy the hc that jack could very well be biracial#//and i do think there may be something to that and i still think it's a fun idea#//but his dad being a white nationalist does significantly complicate that#//and i'll be real with y'all idk if that's something i personally feel qualified trying to tackle#//edit: also i assume this goes without saying but me saying jack's abuse is almost comical at times is not saying child abuse is comical#//i just mean that like. the anecdotes he shares are almost comical in HOW bad they are#//like jack's dad comes off in canon like a cartoonish depiction of an abuser#//which is why i do firmly believe jack is just not telling the whole story#//because that aligns very well with him as a character
