#already relate heavily to the oaks especially henry especially normal especially the twins if i relate to HERO???????? AS AN ELDER SISTER??

[lincolnmkicks]

actually fuck it hero oak is my favorite character now norm was already my favorite doofus but this episode. ohghggghgh hero.

okay. wow. where in the actual FUCK to begin?

although i said in my previous hero post that hero wasnt intentional and that could arguably have been disproven by this recent episode i still think maybe there's an argument to be made for hero not being intended in that MOMENT. maybe sparrow and rebecca were trying for kids and then larks magic seed was enough. idk.

so anyways. hero. makes WAY more sense being lark's kid than sparrow's. makes a way better narrative if sparrow "i have to be the one to fix it" oak-garcia's son NORMAL (who couldn't even do being a normal kid right to sparrow) proves his family wrong and not only does what needs to be done but does it BETTER by stopping the doodler with the kindness and empathy they couldn't spare him.

way i see it. it happened. sparrow wasn't comfortable talking about it. rebecca got pregnant. fuck it the kid's gonna practically be raised by both of them anyway. just lie by omission. nick mentioned something about "them only wanting the one" but doesn't elaborate on who THEY are. sparrow and rebecca? lark and sparrow? the kiddads? whoever it was saw a child with oak-garcia blood and said "alright thats good we did it."

NORMAL. arrives. unexpected. hm. howd that happen? sparrow just wants to forget the kid exists, hope he has a nice, easy life where he's not mocked or made fun of. pile everything onto hero. but normal's so LOUD. not just noise-wise, just... everything.

so sparrow spends more time focusing on norm, judging what norm does. he loses focus on the mission. hero. THE hero. hero goes to a different school. we know nothing about her relationship with her parents, if she even has a good one with them. im placing my money on eldest daughter syndrome for sure.

and to her credit she stepped up. she's fighting the mayor. she's off doing badass shit despite being like a senior in high school. but i need to get into her brain, anthony please let hero and the twins show up next episode please please please please please please please please please
