#kludd looking at gwen: wow she is literally me

[battleclawed]

with kludd and gwen it's like. despite kludd's kludd-ness, they were actually close and did hold genuine familial affection for each other. i think Kludd As A Father would be like "well my dad sucked and i'm way cooler than him so naturally i'll be the Best Dad Ever." and since gwen looks so much like him and grows up strong, he sees a lot of himself in her, so he tends to spoil her (in his own detached, emotionally stunted way) because he sees it as righting the “wrongs” of his own childhood. he’ll praise her, but since it's kludd he subconsciously does it in ways that feed his own ego by attributing her successes to himself—"of course you did well, you're my kid", along those lines.
