#oz is a white man born poor with a disability

[thelaurenshippen]

okay, but, like, THAT'S how you do a villain story. in the FIRST scene, you watch him shoot a man in cold blood. the show tells you right away "this man is not a good man".

but then it gets you to sympathize - look at how much the world has stepped on him. look at how terrible the whole of gotham is. and even when he kills more people, does more terrible things, you still root for him. because it's fun to watch someone be terrible to terrible people. you root for sofia too, because if anyone deserves revenge its her, but you're rooting for both of them somehow.

and then the show tells you "when he was a boy he killed his brothers". but even still, you want to see what he'll do. the show is called the penguin, you want to see the penguin rise. when he lets his mother's finger almost get cut off, you pity him. he's a sad, broken thing. how could he be anything but bad? but he loves, so there must be something else there.

but then. but THEN

the show always told you: "this is the devil". but you thought, maybe the devil can make hell a little more bearable for some people. the devil is so often nuanced, sympathetic, complex. maybe he's like that.

you're wrong. there's nothing good within him and YOU rooted for him to succeed. you wanted to watch the destruction. and now you have to live with the consequences of thinking, even for a second, that he could be redeemed.

 Relationships

Mother/Mother Figure: Abigail Mikealson

Relationships:

Our mother is the picture of a stay at home dotting mommy. She has raised us and taken care of us since they say we were born. She knows us better than we know ourselves! All the cooking I know I learned from spending hours in the kitchen helping her cook. My mom loves us to the point of babying us sometimes and I know she means well but she just has to let us grow up. I think the one thing that disappoints her about me is my aversion to makeup and jewelry (unless it's a special occasion). Well, that and my aversion to people! She's always trying to push me out of my comfort zone and I thank everything that I do dress a bit girly so she leaves me alone when it comes to shopping.

Father/Father Figure: Robin Mikealson

Relationships:

I am much more distant to my father… and I don't know why. Olivia is incredibly close to him but I’m just not. I guess it's because he spends so much time traveling for work and I just can't get over it. He loves me and I love him we're just… distant. The most time I spend with him is during family movie nights. One thing I can thank him for, though, is my interest in ice skating! Because of my dad and his love for every sport in existence I met my soulmate!

Brothers/Brother Figures: Elliot Mikealson, Makoto Hanamiya

Relationships:

Elliot is my super protective big brother! He loves to tease us (and is probably where I learned my affectionate violence thing) and he loves to make us squirm. He hates when he thinks me or Liv is hurt and will immediately start looking for a face to punch. He’s a super successful artist nowadays and is the entire reason I draw! Even with his busy schedule, he finds time to visit his baby sisters. Some people like to say that I'm too close to him because he's one of the few people I hang all over and they're not used to me letting anyone touch me.

Hanamiya concerns me. He is my sister's soulmate so I have no choice but to try and get along with him but he is a genuinely sadistic person. I'm not afraid of him which pisses him off to no end and I only make it worse when I stand up to him (even if I don’t really mean it). I’m sure the only thing that keeps me from his wrath is the fact that it would hurt Olivia and he secretly has a soft spot for her. I tease him about that too which pisses him off. We have a love-hate relationship.

Sisters/Sister Figures: Olivia Mikealson

Relationships:

Ah, this idiot. She is not too bright if you know what I mean! She has this weird charm that endears her to people for like half a second and then they can never get away. She like a homeless puppy, feed her once and you are never getting rid of her. And I tend to feed her a lot she is my food testing guinea pig when I make new recipes. She is a huge pushover, which, is why she needs someone around her to deal with her problems aka me. She cant say no so I do, she thinks it rude to leave I drag her away, she won’t stand up for herself so I do. I have to help with homework because even if the answer is staring her in the face she still won’t get it. She is my big sister and I do love her but she needs to act like she's the big sister before I treat her like she is.

Soulmate: Yuri Plisetsky

Relationship:

My very grump soulmate! He kind of had a hard time believing I was his soulmate but the tattoos don’t lie! We kind of met when, on one of my father's extended stays home, we went to an ice skating competition (Olivia got very bored very fast). At one point I got up to go to the bathroom and got incredibly lost due to my poor sense of direction. I, somehow, ended up near where the skaters happened to be and literally ran into him. He then proceeded to scream the words on my side and I responded with, ”I’ll tell you when I figure it out. Hi, I’m lost!” there was then a lot of cursing from one of us and awkward laughter from the other. After another skater helped me back and the competition ended he found me as we were leaving and exchanges numbers. We spend a lot of time talking on the phone, texting, and facetiming because he lives in Russia and I live Japan and he travels constantly for skating competitions. When we do get to see each other we get along surprisingly well and we do things we don't let others do (I get to play with his hair and he gets to lay in my lap). I am currently in the process of learning to ice skate to surprise him the next time he can come see me.
