i think for the shitty scorpion family, their entire dynamic is definitely toxic (heh) but also neither dusk nor bruno is an inherently terrible person? its just that they’re a) horrible together longterm as they are and b) people who should not have had kids.

#last art was definitely more of a dark humor vibe but one thing that i thiiink kinda comes through is that like.#both of them are projecting their own bullshit onto their kids. bruno has an extremely toxic idea of what it means to be an alpha #and its really just a way hes excused his own semi-suicidal tendencies and horrible self worth. but bc castor is like him he tries to make #him the same way #while dusk is incredibly emotionally stunted and was always punished for wanting intimacy. shes not gonna be affectionate with her kids #at least coming IMMEDIATELY out of her bad situation. shes been given zero time to process her trauma and now shes a mom #and shes just not emotionally suited for that #none of this is an excuse for their actions obviously. both castor and cecil suffer for years to come over thid #this #and this is all castor backstory. hes the most important player here no matter what #part of his arc is about unlearning all of this and breaking the cycle #and yknow im well aware the audience is likely gonna hate these guys and thats completely understandable. but their shittiness fascinates me #like. its specific shittiness. its shittiness that couldve been helped if those two werent at the literal worst point of their lives #castor never sees his bio family again but. i always figured that if he met his parents again as an adult. hed be pissed at them ofc #and give em a piece of his mind. but theyd probably done some introspection by then and they could probably somewhat repair their rel #relationship #<- not canon info jsyk but idk…#yeah though. also dw i have other shitty parents that dont get redeemed at all LMAO #i am very anti ‘’you need to forgive blood family no matter what’’. hell castor still doesnt. i am doing au musing rn #starfall lore #<- sure #would anyone be open to more character rambling stuff like this btw…
