#speakerphone!#PLEASE let it be the first one PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE#and yeah there's the dragon story and you could say theyre pretending to be 'normal' kids but... π#no... i think the dad is pretending to be a 'normal' dad by being funny and sweet but hes abusing them.#the subtext is there i swear it.#also the children pretending to behave like 'normal' children theory makes it seem like violence comes from a vacuum.#when in reality children are reflections of their world. if a child is acting out there is a reason. it doesnt just come from nowhere.#revoltimg against the fathers prayer during thanksgiving is huge. its them going against their father. the church. and the idea of their#family. it's also them saying theyre not grateful for the family because something is hurting them#and its staged. they throw the dinner at the same time. this is something they thought out and talked about#they repeat the father saying 'im sorry' on video a few times because its something they want to hear him say. why is that?#because he is abusing them.#the harder things to pin down are why they attack christian but even then. you could easily say theyre lashing out.#them having a secret lamguage and not wanting their parents in their playhouse is meant to be scary of course but why do they do this?#because they feel the need to be away from the parents because they cant trust them for some reason#and we see the mother would rather defend the father than believe her children are being abused. because even though she thinks its a#possibility she never takes the kids away. AND! the way she starts medicating them instead of taking any real action is disGUSTING#its the idea that you can make someone 'normal' by putting them on meds. that way their tolerable to those around them#OH! AND! when the father asks 'is there evil in the house' and the daughter looks straight at him after lookong away and nods!!!!#HE is the evil!#okay. talkimg it out through the tags has made me feel better i think im right. though ill be sad if i look up interviews from the writers#to see im not. oh whale.
