#character: jessica

[knoxs2nd]

i looove how parent/child love is handled in umineko, and the differences between everyone's perceptions of how to show their love, and how to view other people's loves

krauss was always told he had to become a suitable heir by kinzo and was raised accordingly, even though he really didn't want to. krauss shows his love for jessica by being more hands-off, unlike his own childhood, and even encouraging "un-heir-like" hobbies like her boxing.

natsuhi was given away by her family in a marriage she didn't want. she shows her love for jessica by being strict and controlling. natsuhi wants jessica to always feel that she supported and cared about her future and success, and to never feel "given away" without a second thought.

meanwhile, jessica sees natsuhi's "love" as stifling and has to deal with it by running away to school and hiding her true self from her mother. while they don't go deeply into jessica and krauss's relationship, the vibe i get is that she gets along better with him.

compare that to lion, who thrived with the strict parenting style and always recognized how natsuhi loved and cared for them. as an alt!yasu, what matters to them is having family/unconditional love in the first place and not necessarily how that love manifests.

eva was always told she would never amount to anything, and to stop trying so hard. so she shows her love for george by telling him he'll amount to great things, and to always try his hardest. she will always support his journey. hideyoshi lost his whole family so he shows his love by always striving to be friendly with others, and to always bring positivity to other's lives, because being together with family is the most important thing. so he steps away from strict parenting and lets eva handle it.

and we know about george's feelings on eva's love for him, even though he, just like jessica, recognizes that their mothers love them. however, he admires his father and wants to be just like him!

rudolf got ignored and had to carve out his own place in the world - and it wasn't with his family. he loves battler by letting him do his own thing, so much so he lets battler leave the family register. if being away from them will make battler happier, then rudolf'll accept it.

meanwhile, battler has a complicated relationship with rudolf whose parenting style makes him think rudolf doesn't actually have any familial feelings at all, and resents him for it. he adores asumu though, who was outwardly kind and loving to him!

battler even forgives rudolf and agrees to return to the ushiromiya family when he realizes that rudolf actually DOES love his family, after spending so many years convinced rudolf never actually cared after all

and rosa...also ignored, but also bullied to kingdom come by her siblings for being "stupid." so she sees maria, who's also susceptible to being bullied, and tries to make her into being someone who would NOT be bullied. who could be "normal."

maria though...she's the only one who can actually see rosa's love for what it is, though, past all the layers of abuse, control, and trauma, that the other ushiromiya cousins struggled so deeply with. so she resolves to love her mama, regardless...

thinking about shannon/kanon and how much they love each other and how all of their interactions are always so positive and healing

thinking of the implications and crying

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT HOW YASU WANTED A FAMILY SO BADLY THAT IN RESPONSE TO HER TRAUMA SHE JUST WENT I'LL MAKE MY OWN! LIKE, THINK OF THE SHITTY SHITTY FAMILY DYNAMICS SHE SAW ON THE DAILY BUT BEST SIBS KANON AND SHANNON WERE ALWAYS, ALWAYS TOGETHER AND SUPPORTIVE!!!

beatrice wasn't related to kanon and shannon so she gets used to bully the other yasusonas. even when kanon and shannon disagreed with each other it was always with unconditional love and trust.

THINKING ABOUT HOW BEATRICE ONLY STARTS SHOWING UP TO INTERACT WITH KANON AND SHANNON WHEN SHANNON STARTS PURSUING A RELATIONSHIP WITH GEORGE CAUSE YASU GOES "YOU KNOW WHAT. I NEED TO REALLY REALLY BULLY AND HATE MYSELF RIGHT NOW AND KANON AND SHANNON WONT DO THAT TO EACH OTHER"

it's extra cool thinking about how lion also has a sibling. lion and jessica are very, very different! lion gets to tease and bully jessica but they still love and care about each other!!

it's fun that in the "ideal" world with ideal relationships for lion with natsuhi, kinzo, etc. lion and jessica feel much more like regular siblings! compared to yasu's world with all these broken relationships, and yasu created the "ideal" sibling relationship with shkanon...
