One family I grew up close with had two sons who ended up addicted to heroin. Everyone assumed the same despite the fact that until then the family had been, by all indications, functioning better than most, and the fact that we lived in a bad neighborhood. I think they deserved sympathy, not shame

I would ask that you reconsider the idea that parents necessarily bear guilt when their children kill themselves. I don't think either of us have read the book, but I think conditions outside the home can also cause suicide, and brothers are more likely to experience the same conditions.

Wait it's not his last name

there's a lot we don't know, but how can caine even understand the meaning of what he has done and what he is, presumably never having had a developmental period of any kind, an alien being, created monster mutilating the things he loves in his embrace like edward scissorhands

I guess I'm pleased that the disapproval of jax is more measured. This might get me in trouble but like, even caine? Who has done very bad things yet is maybe the first conscious computer prgm and has a desire for connection he has no possible way of fulfilling because of what he is, like

Yeah, like, it's so common in fandom discourse to make really firm moral judgments but I always kind of take the perspective of someone who has never been in a digital nightmare for decades losing friends repeatedly and this goes for almost any fictional scenario

Such a fucking disgrace

this dog was destined to lay softly on this little patch from the beginning
