"Ford was favored by his father, so he probably has a soft spot for him"

"Stan was abused so he probably hated his father"

Ok so first off, yes, one is favored more than the other, but let it be a reminder that this does not mean ford was treated any better. if y'know fillbrick you know that guy is just using ford for cash money.

Anyway, if you know the stan twins then y'know that those two scenarios I just pull up is 100% false.

If y'know ford than y'know he holds grudges to the people who had wronged him. He still thinks about his childhood bully even tho it has been years ago, he hasn't forgiven stan even tho it has been years ago. He is very stubborn about it.

If y'know stan than y'know he has a soft spot for the people he considered close to him, even tho they have wronged him. He still gives light to his father even tho his father wouldn't even give a speck of affection to him.

In conclusion they both have daddy issues.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

i'm so obsessed with brennan's interpretation of charisma for an extremely autistic-coded character being that evan gives up the anxiety about fitting in, he stops masking, and instead he leans into his blunt, matter-of-fact nature, and that serves him SO MUCH BETTER in social situations than constantly apologizing for being different

edit: going back to the previous AP, aabria pitched basically this exact idea to brennan so she should get credit too

Brennan’s talked before about how as a poor young adult he lived in New York and struggled with food security. He tells a story of going to frozen yogurt places for free samples and a cheap dumpling spot because it was a lot of food.

His opinions on food and his described behaviours around food make a lot of sense in that context. He may be successful now and can be assured he can eat again when he’s hungry, but it appears he has legitimate trauma around his experiences with poverty because what he’s humorously describing is a trauma response. His mind hasn’t gotten rid of the anxiety of “I’m eating now so I better make it count because I don’t know when I will again.”

Because he’s a comedian he manages to frame it as a joke, but there’s certainly an underlying sadness. It also informs Evan Kelmp’s characterization. Capitalism is the root issue here and poverty is state-sanctioned economic abuse.

Anyway, I hope he’s doing well and taking care of himself.

what i'm learning here is brennan has no problem dressing up for ttrpgs as long as he can look like he's been to hell and back lmao

of course brennan’s vip ep was an art house film about the metaphor of the self through the lens of false dream logic and time loops delivered by a wild man from the woods who is also a physicist from Newfoundland who carries around rocks in a briefcase that he has to hatch and doesn’t know the word alligator but does know the words centrifugal force and is afraid of bowls. of course.
