#Richard spender needs to stop wearing opaque ass sunglasses so he can take a look around

[booksandwillowtrees]

an absolutely batshit plot line in Paranatural is when Middle Schooler Isabel Guerra and 26 (I think) year old Richard Spender, her mentor and arguably parental figure have a really important heart to heart where she says “ I know you well enough to know when you’re not well.” And he communicates the same notion. But then actually it wasn’t Mr. Spender at all, it was a three year old Wii sports loving brain monster who was possessing him for like an hour, who somehow was a better mentor than Mr. Spender because actually Mr. spender doesn’t see Isabel, he just sees her facade. Her facade that she desperately has been trying to get rid of since she was six. A facade she begged him to see past all those years ago, and he must’ve forgotten. Because now in the relationship Isabel is the only one making the effort to see that he’s not okay. And so with this realization that she can’t really trust spender to take care of her she takes responsibility for everyone onto herself. She doubles down into this role she’s been begging not be assigned her whole childhood. A role that 7 years ago, Spender promised he wouldn’t let her inherit.
