#cal rambles #dndads #their relationship is one ive BEEN thinking abt but actually this episode very much solidified it #as something really interesting i think. #BIG fan of Hero being initially raised by all the kiddads and therefore she knows them better than the other teens #i like the idea that theyre all kinda like weird uncles to her <3 yk the family friends that u call aunt and uncle #but aren't actually related to u #anyways. cries #before i was like haha it would be really cute if Hero's inital facination with video games #originated from Grant when he babysitted her as a kid #and then. this episode. OUGFFGGFGH #something something being forced to kill a living being in an intimate and grotesque way by ur father figure #and being told its for your own good. but all it did was fuck you up #one of my fav hcs of Hero is that she inherited the bulk of the oak family anger issues #that is to say. shes got a very short temper but also the tendency to repress it until it explodes #unlike Henry I think she does this partially unintentionally. she forces it down under a layer of apathy #from the moment she was born with the intention of being raised to be the chosen one #her situation has been unfair #and shes been angry at that unfairness for so goddamn long. and there wasn't much she could do about it #so her options were be continiously furious or repress it disassociate and feel nothing #if shes angry she could lash out and she's powerful. oh god she's powerful. she already has blood on her hands. she doesnt want more. #so she keeps it all in a tight little bundle and presses it down where it belongs #you see where im going with this. cries #anyways i just want to see them interact so bad ough i want to chew drywall #grants exposure to violence caused him to enter a disassociative state where only more violence could bring him out of #which caused him to seek more violence despite all the guilt and bad feelings attached #bc he wanted to FEEL something and it was the only way to do that #versus Hero. whos exposure to violence caused her to similarly numb her emotions #except i think more violence makes it worse. the state she has to put herself in to do violence is too emotionally taxing to get in & out of #so she actively avoids it avoids even thinking of it in order to feel like a real person
