#maybe this is controversial maybe its not#but i am TIRED of this interpretation of will's dad being some crazy abusive alcoholic who made will's childhood miserable#it doesnt make much sense and its that same thing i have with ppls interpretation of certain dc characters and their skin color#like. tell me WHY you think will's dad was/is abusive toward him. tell me about how you imagine will's childhood#and WHY you imagine it that way#is it bc will grew up poor? is it bc of some 'white-trash' southern stereotype you have in your head?#like tell me honestly and frankly bc otherwise i cant understand the choice to make his dad that way#i will fight tooth and nail to defend the good-will-dad hc bc the inverse of that makes me mad#giving will some 'tragic' backstory that involves parental abuse is in no way the compelling narrative you think it is#it actually detracts so much from will's character bc the POINT of his becoming is that he has ALWAYS been this way#nothing MADE will the way he is and the show literally follows will slow acceptance of that part of him#he's not 'dark' bc of some abusive childhood. that's not the connection we need to be making here and inserting this#cruel disparaging narrative that will's dad abused him with the only subtext being they were POOR is so fucked up#will graham
