For @aleksandrachaev who is too stupidly talented for her own good (and has mercilessly dragged me into this fandom with her brilliance and now keeps me chained to a toilet).
Not fun but it’s a fact. Livia doesn't spend much time with her daughter besides dressing her up like a little doll to be paraded around.
Livia harbors some resentment towards Clelia for not being a son initially, enduring another pregnancy after a difficult first one. Conversely, Clelia yearned for a connection with her mother and attempted to cultivate one numerous times in various ways, but to no avail.
The only time her mother praised and acknowledged her daughter was after her successful engagement with Janus.

Hilarius is dismissive at worst, Clelia just wants some maternal love, a tiny bit…
patrick’s mom in 92sies honestly makes me cry every time I hear her in carrying the banner.
I imagine that the kid ran away from an abusive dad, or to escape the life he hated, but he can’t run from his mother’s love. she could be going there everyday for the past 3 years, and still there’s this whole prodigal son moment of “I don’t care what you’ve done, I still love you”.
I’m sorry I love patrick’s mom and I want to give her a hug sm.
