I wish I never heard that. I really wish I never heard that.

I'm with Danielle

i'd love to write more about this, but the character of miss censordoll's mother. we never see her, or hear her voice, but miss censordoll clearly has a distaste for her. after all, she is the one who wanted her genitals surgically removed. i just can't understand why someone would do that.

fgm is common in a lot of places throughout the world - and it is horrible, of course, but it is common. the removal of a child's uterus isn't. whatever her reasoning may be, i'm sure that act immediately ruined any scope of a healthy relationship between francis and her mother.

censordoll is also the stereotypical matriarch - a character that is inherently female, but not inherently feminine. stereotypically feminine traits that most of the other women in moralton follow are being kind, cordial, sweet, and things along that line. miss censordoll does something that, to my knowledge, would face a lot of opposition in a conservative town like moralton: she runs for mayor. to run for a job is seen as a man's job, censordoll says so herself. (i'd like to make it clear that any mention of sexism here is in regards to the town's morality, not my own, of course). she's also a go-getter in her own way: she organises the protests, she burns the books, she decides the course of her life. she's also unmarried, and does not seem to look for a romantic relationship (not counting the thing w clay, that doesn't seem romantic, as much as her trying to fulfill the void left behind by her mother, both in the sense of her mother's lack of parenting, and her inability to mother a child. she was either trying to make up for her childhood, or imagine the childhood of her non-existent offspring.)

anyways, i'm confident censordoll's mother affected her. her attachment to eggs - tangible things that carry the beginnings of life - exists because of her inability to carry it, an inability thrust upon her by her mother. moreover, her strange relationship with clay, as i mentioned before was either a proxy for her to fulfill the role of mother, that her own mother did not play, or a means for her to experience motherhood, no matter how ephemeral.

however, miss censordoll seems to have regular interactions with her mother. i find that interesting. no other character on this show, except the kids (of course), and stephanie have an existing relationship with their parents. i can't really think of why that is, but these are my thoughts on miss censordoll's mother. maybe she still holds some semblance of love for her; maybe she respects her due to religious reasons. after all, it is one of the commandments.

sorry if this was more about censordoll than her mother asdlkfasdjf

actually it SHOULD be more about censordoll then her mother because she's the reason fran is uh LIKE that

5AM headcanons as I slowly get back into Moral-ing

- idk how much from Narcissism the fandom accepts, but it does make me categorize Bloberta as the “prettiest” / most desired woman in moralton based on the fact that she made Putty climax with words alone.

- As goofy as that is it also re-contextualizes a lot. She is “off limits” even in infidelity because she’s the mayor’s wife.

- I also think if Dottie tried her routine on Bloberta, Dottie would end up crying wayyyyyy earlier. Bloberta’s numbness includes an immunity to gaslighting. Also there is one element that actually connects the 2 characters that I wanna draw. Here’s a different scene for now:

Dottie: Can I sit with you Bloberta so our kids can talk to each other and not us?

Bloberta: … you talk to your kids?

Dottie nervously lights a cigarette.

Dottie: I- uh, well I mean-

Bloberta puts out the cigarette by clasping the end with her bare fingers.

Bloberta: If you’re going to do that, I think you should sit somewhere else.

- Blobbie / Censordoll discourse is also interesting bc I think of it as “numb & barren” (ship name maybe?) - things kinda also come full circle. In Help: Bloberta fails to help Fran, feels like she helped Clay and marries him, Orel is born and goes on to be Fran’s main helper in her campaign against Clay, with signs made by Bloberta.

- Gay Clay vs. Bi Clay was a debate brought up in one of my streams and I said my answer keeps changing. There are “tactile” arguments for Bi Clay but they all really start to evaporate for me with the scene in honor. There is no exact science, it is just a uniquely gay anguish confessed. alsogayclayrhymes

- I think about Clay’s rise to office a lot and what exactly enabled him to do so, and I’m beginning to think he may have used his mother’s death in his campaign as he starts to pen her lost commandments into Moralton law. Much to Arthur’s dismay, which only encourages Clay to take things further.

- A newer idea but I feel like Danielle’s experience encouraging Orel might have kindled something, and if Fakey can go from coach to Principal so can Danielle.

- I think now that Bendy is reconnected with Joe, the Fakey situation will actually quickly lead to a restraining order. Since Bendy no longer has to telephone through Ms. Secondopinionson to talk to Joe, Fakey talks to Secondopinionson for updates on Bendy. I think Fakey’s mental state will decline between his ruined marriage and “mistress” cut off, but for some reason I think with Secondopinionson’s infinite patience she becomes a sort of friend + makeshift repressional since Putty’s having none of it anymore. In that circumstance I think Secondopinionson becomes comfortable speaking to him in her natural voice . I think Fakey loses his job to Danielle like above, then idk, gets part time work at Steph’s shop or something.

- The David Tuber interview mentioned that Orel goes goth but also goes atheist, and the blue heron as a symbol of his faith begins to follow him around. I think the “Nature rematch” would be Orel getting Ol’ Gunny with actual intent to kill the Heron.

- Which brings me to the tinfoil hat section. Consider this my “Season 4+”

- By this time Censordoll has a stranglehold on Moralton. With no role models and in complete nihilism Orel kills the Heron in anger. In absolute darkness Orel finds no solace, he then notices the Heron’s nest.

- I have no idea what Steven Universe / Demon Slayer script we’ll need to get to this point but I really think that if Censordoll is the “final boss” of Moralton it should end with her and Orel nurturing the blue heron egg until it hatches, roll credits.

oh yes ... the whole Censordoll ' being a witch thing ' , I'd like to think if the show continued they wouldn't follow down with that route because , for me , it underplays other character's actions having Fran somehow responsible for certain events . As for having ' mind control powers ' I think it's less ' mind control ' more ' manipulation ' she knows everyone in town's weakness and she exploits it . Orel lacks affection therefore showing him even an ounce of affection has him right where she needs him .

She uses Clay's weaknesses against him in the show and everyone in town is so afraid of her that she can threaten them easily . I don't think she'd have to be a witch to do that ! It's far better if she's has no powers , merely an obsession with control with the little Moralton replica she has made in her home and she spies on everyone lives simply to seek out their weaknesses so she can eventually take control . It's a hobby of hers to act out possible events with the replica or at least move the little figures where the towns folk should be individually at any given time . A sort of playing God if you will but not literally being God .

So not a witch though people in town may view her as one.

" Hm ... " Eyes say it all without words and Fran is certainly displaying her disapproval . If she's turned up out of Sunday service then it certainly isn't for anything good . / Censordoll !

he'd shuttled everyone out the door as usual, absentmindedly mumbling ' praise the lord 's and ' hallelujah 's. he hadn't noticed a certain special guest until he turned to make his way back to the office, almost jumping out of his skin with a startled shriek. palms rub together nervously, eyes darting from side to side.

" FRAN !! what, uh, what brings you here this morning ? and might i say you look lovely today, did you do something new with your hair ? "

a poor attempt at steeling himself for whatever blow she has in store for him, though they both well know the compliment was wasted breath.

[moraltonmorelikehomoton]

As far as I know Putty also called Censordoll Fran didn’t he?

Is like the people closed to her just call her by her first name, that’s kinda cute.

^ That is very cute. I like the idea that she likes Orel so much that he can do that while other adults in Moralton can't.

Also I dont remember Putty calling her that but I dont doubt it at all. Was it possibly in Beforel Orel?

(I know she calls him "Bob" though, which is funny)

censordoll has hebephrenic schizophrenia (headcanon) with explanation

(apologies for this, not only is psychology my special interest, but i LOVE censordoll… so it all works out)

to start, the hebephrenic category of schizophrenia is characterized by disorganized behavior/speech, shallow or inappropriate emotional responses (could also be called mood incongruence), hallucinations, and delusions.

the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia is to have at least two of these things:

delusions (strong, inexplicable beliefs that are irrational in nature)

hallucinations (when your body or mind perceives something that is not really there)

thought disorders (patterns of thought that cannot be explained with reasoning or senses)

she also has other schizophrenia characteristics, such as:

social avoidance

false belief of superiority

religious delusion

compulsive behavior

irrational/aggressive behavior

depression

being consumed/territorial over interests

now that i have that out of the way, let me explain why she fits into this category.

delusions: believing she is the matriarch, narcissism due to her self-imposed isolation, belief that she is better than others due to her lack of eggs, and being free from original sin. (false belief of superiority) she views herself on the same morality, power level, and deserving of the same respect as the lord, along with believing that she is more qualified to sermonize over moralton than reverend putty. she also displays hyperreligiosity. when she protests, she claims that picketing and protesting is doing “god’s work” (religious delusion) and even if the delusion is right, it becomes a delusion when they use illogical or unethical methods of explaining it.

thought disorders (illogical/irrational thinking): eggs = her removed ovaries. she is obsessed with something that irrationally remind her of something she lost traumatically. eggs are one of her “only pleasures”, but probably couldn’t explain why. this also ties into her delusions, but i decided to separate the bullets anyways.

obsessive, agressive, or territorial over interests: we see this when she slaps mr figurelli over a plate of eggs for no apparent reason. unlike regular autistic hyperfixations, schizophrenia related/induced interests last longer and can lead to someone feeling lost, angry, or depressed when they go away. (we see this in “offensiveness” when there’s a prohibition placed on eggs, she gets really sad because they’re one of the only things that bring her true joy; even though she was given cesarean-born eggs, they aren’t the same as naturally passed eggs in her mind.) her HEAVY obsession with eggs was likely started in childhood and persisted into adulthood.

social avoidance: she isolates herself because she sees herself as better than others. (false belief of superiority is also a schizophrenia characteristic) her lack of eggs caused her to deem herself “immaculate” and free from original sin (as seen in “alone”). she bans and protests things, not only to overcompensate for what she’s lost, but so she doesn’t make real connections with the townsfolk. she secures her place as a sovereign by refusing connection to society and sharing common interests with people. she stays away from commonly enjoyed things (like movies and books) so that she doesn’t fall into line with other people she deems inferior to her, ultimately disrupting her goals (as she believes). she also avoids connections with people who wouldn’t bring her closer to her goal of becoming mayor.

compulsive behavior: she only lets her mom call her at 9pm every night, she will avoid and ignore her persistent calls until the time comes. she will not answer the phone from her mother at ANY other time.

depression: her apartment is MINIMALLY decorated, some of her time is consumed by speaking with someone who ABUSED her (her mother), so that would be a valid factor to her being depressed.
