ANYWAY. Desperately introducing PH fans to the concept of a child PH SPOILERS IN TAGS
#logxx#logam#It really does cause me Emotions to think abt how the Halcyon days Vincent is so obsessed with were also just...#The environment he was in during that time was immensely abusive and dangerous for him#And he definitely understood even at the time that where he was Was Not Safe and that the people raising him absolutely meant him harm#The reason he was trying so hard to find a way to return to that environment was because Gil was happy there#And as an adult Vincent came to believe Gil would have been relatively safe#We the audience understand that the purpose of creating this good by comparison environment was for the express purpose#Of facilitating further abuse#But Vincent didn't know/understand that in large part bc he couldn't comprehend that he might... actually be important to Gil in any way#Or that him being abused might upset Gil in any capacity once their relationship wasn't total isolation and codependence#God it rly is So Much that you're led to believe that Vincent wants to Go Back himself bc of his elevated view of Jack#And the initial misrepresentation of Jack as Vincent and Gil's primary caretaker#You're supposed to read Vincent's desire as selfish bc he's An Antagonist and he did The Bad Thing even though it literally wasn't his fault#When everything abt Vincent's narration is about what Gil wants and what makes Gil happy and what he can do to protect Gil#The misconception that Vincent's desire to return was bc Vincent felt he personally had lost something#Led to the surprisingly popular and completely false idea that Vincent and Gil had any sort of positive relationship as children#And that Vincent's grief was over having supposedly Lost His Affections#When Vincent was perfectly aware of the utter contempt Gil had for him when they were childreb#And felt said contempt was due to a failing on his own part as opposed to...#They were children in a bad situation and Vincent was a convenient scapegoat so hating him made Gil feel more in control#But#Finding out these supposedly Really Good Times#Were in fact horrifying for Vincent specifically and involved him being deliberately targeted for extreme familial abuse/eventual murder#And that the abuse and subsequent execution of a person in the exact same position that Vincent was in#Was in fact the terrible tragic event that led to the events of the series#Is sooooo much
