#jacob's family

[missnight0wl]

You know, it would actually make a lot more sense if R's leader was our mother. Think about it: She doesn't say anything to us about going after the vaults, is missing from MC's life but mentioned at times. And with your theory that R and Cabal are not the same, it would make even more sense

Oh yeah, absolutely! I even talked about it on my blog in the past, I believe even before Peregrine was officially introduced in the story.

I just want to point out that it’s not entirely true that she “doesn't say anything to us about going after the vaults ”. At the beginning of Y3, MC said that she’s worried about them:

I also always interpreted “my summer was difficult” as “my Mum was trying to stop me from going after the Vaults, so my summer was difficult because I don’t want to stop”. On top of that, I suppose the Mother seems to be quite passive because MC probably hides a lot of things from her. I mean, we basically saw it being the case with Jacob.

And when Jacob was at the hospital:

That being said, both of those things would actually make the Mother an even better villain. First of all, usually, villains don’t want to be suspected too soon, so it’d make sense for her to show some concern about MC searching for the Cursed Vaults and maybe even try to stop them. And as for MC and Jacob hiding information from her… Well, just imagine that: we’re about to find out who the leader of R is, and an unknown figure emerges from the shadows, similarly to how it was with Peregrine. The difference is this time it’s the Mother. And then she says:

“Oh, dear silly child. Did you really think I didn’t know what you and your brother are doing, honey? That you can hide anything from me?”

The Mother being the leader of R would be AN ACTUAL PLOT TWIST. It’d be so much better than Peregrine. Admittedly, I prefer the story where R is not related to MC at all, but if JC really wanted to include the family connection, the Mother was the best we could’ve got.

But oh well…

Oh, and one more thing. The Mother would also make sense because most of the antagonistic characters are already female: Marula, Verucca, Rakepick, even Zenith. I just think it’d be more interesting to see another woman running all of it.

Ok, let’s get annoyed with Fugly Slut! Y7Ch51, post Perry’s experiment commentary.

No. Don’t try to make him feel better. It’s his fault he’s a fucking idiot.

I’m shocked to agree with you, but I’m really surprised as well.

NO. HE’S THE REASON THE LIFE OF A STUDENT NEEDED TO BE SAVED.

SEE?!

It’s very uncomfortable to side with Fugly Slut, but you can’t argue with facts.

It’s very simple: you’re just a stupid idiot.

LOL! NO FUCKING WAY! And honestly, it’s not even about that dumb experiment.

Yes. You can ask again, so I can laugh in your face again and remind you that I’ll never forgive you.

Then perish.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD SHE WANT TO GET BACK TOGETHER WITH THIS PIECE OF SHIT?? 😭😭😭 HE LEFT HER WITH TWO LITTLE CHILDREN DURING A WAR!!! 😭😭😭

You know, as much as I hate that Peregrine is supposedly our father, it’s very clear that Perry and Fugly Slut are indeed related. They both apparently see the Mother as a mere object that’s supposed to please them. For Perry, she was just a fling and a fun time before he got bored. For Fugly Slut, she’s needed only to complete his picture of the ideal family. Who the fuck cares what she wants, right?

IT IS HIS FAULT!

NO, YOU DO NOT.

UM, NO?! HELL NO!!!

Trust me, I regret it deeply.

Ok, but the first important conclusion coming from this whole situation is that it’s once again painfully obvious that Fugly Slut has nothing in common with the original Jacob. Jacob was super smart and extremely cautious. He came up with his own code just to secure his private notes. He would also use Legilimency on Madam Rosmerta (who he had to be pretty close with), just to make sure it’s safe to trust her. You really want to tell me that any of that would ever occur to Fugly Slut?

But even that aside I have to point out that the whole “I wanted to bring our family back together” simply makes no sense... for anything. Sure, Fugly Slut was established as someone very naive and impulsive. But the problem is that we’re talking about Peregrine in specific now. And let me remind you our first conversation about him:

It always annoyed me that Jacob says this line even if you chose to tell Peregrine that you don’t want him in your life. However, on the other hand, I saw it as a build-up for the narrative: “Jacob was older when Peregrine left and he remembers how hard it was for everyone. MC was younger and therefore they’re more likely to forgive Peregrine”. It’s pretty much supported by our conversation from the next chapter, too:

Again, he basically was like: “I still remember how badly he hurt us”. So... it really makes no sense that he confesses now that: “Boo-hoo, I always wanted our family back”. I mean, it does make sense, but:

it’d make way more sense for MC because as I said, they were younger, they don’t remember everything, so they might be more likely to forgive Perry’s mistakes;

it makes Fugly Slut incredibly childish because it means his distrust towards Peregrine was just an act to get attention or whatever.

Seriously, it’s like JC was too scared to let MC make any mistake, so they decided to ignore everything they wrote just a couple of chapters earlier and put the fault on Fugly Slut. Which I don’t mind too much in general - but I wish it’d make sense at least. And the thing is that it could’ve been totally done. Just skip the whining about the family and make Jacob’s reasoning something like:

I might not agree with Dad, but he does have a point about the Ministry. I felt responsible for you and mum ever since he left, and I believed that by fighting the corruption, I can secure a better future for you. I didn’t trust him, but I thought it was a risk worth taking. I was wrong.

That’s it. As simple as that. Like... it’s basically right there already. Why the hell they thought it’s a good idea to make it about family right now?
