idk if this is more of a headcanon or a theory but like what if Nervous Subject grew up in a Quasimodo type situation with the Beakers where he thinks they’re just protecting because they love him. Like he’s been through so much he can’t remember Olive so the only adults in his life were the Beakers. He probably grew up hearing things like “think of all the lives you’ve saved by letting us experiment on you” or being reminded he is the son of death incarnate that is so pumped full of chemicals and anesthetics he wouldn’t be able to function without Loki and Circe. They make him feel like a monster or a danger to society. (which he’s only a danger to unattended trash cans) And then of course this is only solidified when he grows up to be this 6’10”, ghostly pale and skinny guy covered in vivisection scars and chemical burns that doesn’t look like any of the people in the movies he was allowed to watch.
I also like the idea of this whole worldview crumbling in front of him after he meets the Curious family and Ophelia and realizes that he isn’t just a semi-immortal lab rat and what he had with the Beakers was not familial love.
Also Loki and Circe would totally sing him the “you are deformed and you are ugly” song from The Hunchback of Notre Dame…
Idk if this is even coherent thoughts or just babbling but enjoy!!
