#eta i dont care if aos canon contradicts me because i think aos is an objectively bad show

[tenderjock]

things i strongly headcanon re: agent carter trio families include: jack being the rural rich midwestern dead-middle child of five boys who all went into the navy and a mom who had severe post partum depression and was loving, and actually favored him the most of all her boys, but was mostly absent for much of his life;

daniel being a nice portuguese catholic boy from suburban NJ and having three older sisters and a single dad, bc his mom died giving birth to him, who all tried their best to support the baby of the family when he came home from war with no leg and a chip on his shoulder;

and peggy not hating her family, not even wanting to cut her family off, but finding herself unable to talk to her parents without feeling infuriated and/or close to tears after michael died and they objected to her doing the only thing she felt would give life - not just her life, but life in general - meaning.
