#sorry for my rambling i should be doing my fuckgin assignment..*clenches fist*

[hop-a-lot]

Mamas Boy Saxton Hale is so real to me because I can in no universe imagine Saxton and Bilious getting along well. If I may go off on my own personal headcanons…

Bilious actually thought Saxton was TOO WEAK as a child, which was only made “worse” by him being so close to his mother.

So now as an adult, Saxton has absolutely ZERO relationship with Bilious (if he’s still alive lol) meanwhile he’s still extremely close with his mother.

Sorry I have a lot of thoughts about Saxton 😇

Bilious thought Saxton was too weak since he is *his son*, there might be pressure and expectation that put upon on him so that he can take Bilious' place. I feel like Bilious is strict in raising his own child that he might be neglecting the sentiment that a child should receive. The lack of words of encouragement from his father when he was dealing with failures during his growth, made him lean towards his mother, who was more caring and warm, accepting Saxton for who he was.

I like to think this is one of few reasons why Saxton is more empathetic to children and wiling dive himself in teaching youngsters to be resourceful, establish his own girl scout troop 'Saxtonettes' and some sort (apart from teaching them about hippie assault etc etc.)

I would say Saxton's relationship with his dad is..awkward, with some age speculation that people (I'm referencing one twitter post made by @/dinoburger and I must give credit for that) made about the Hale's family, even when Saxton finally inherits Mann Co, he was in his late 20-ish and his dad was in late 70...and it was suggested that he should have taken his dad's place when Bilious offered Saxton the opportunity to run the family business, but he didn't take over sooner as he was still in-merge in hunting-romance with Margaret. Though with all that being said, what made him decide to take over the company? He choose Mann Co over his lover, if not for the possibility of doing it for his father's sake, then what else could have motivated him to take over the company?
