The past is about conservative parents(homophobic) who were toxic to each other already( mom was in a cult, dad got her out but she was obsessed ober him, he apparently beat her up some times??? And was very domineering over the rest of the fam as well). Sis hated how the family "functioned", she rejected the weird "love compensation" ( I think mom confided in her her past and what was actually happening, as she was older and more perceptive). Her younger sibling was jealous of her for a long time, and also got that "compensation love" while always been compared to his older sister. Dad and mom always made snarky hostile comments about homossexual people, and both of their children already were emotionally abused and now feared being outted as they both are not straight at all.
Bro has an episode in school were a son of a pastor kiss him and tells everyone the bro liked it as a joke, but as the bro is in fact gay he feels more and more tense as people suspected him. He lashes out one day at the bi pastor son( who has a huge crush on the bro) and injures him. Because he is so afraid of being outted and it reaching his parents he just isolates himself. When sis and parents go out on a funeral of another artist( who is saod to be gay and the parents talk shite about him >:( bastards) he starts to fear more. The sis is already kinda used to the dysfunctional family and lashes out sometimes as well when she receives compensation for the emotional abuse :v
So this is were I get a little blindsided and confused: the parents died on the way to the funeral, sis survived although she got pretty injured and it has left scars on her arm and neck( she says to her gf she "killed her parents? Not sure if she literally has something to do/caused the accident or just feel guilty towards her brother for having survived and took his parents from him, cause even if she hated them, she knew her bro needed his parents[he grew up feeling inferior and needed his parents aproval even if he never did well on academics and was in fact gay as well])
Then she recovers a little and without much explanation she sends him abroad to Canada??? Apparently he stayed there for couple years or so, after she works as an artist( just like her dad ) she calls him back( she has a gf, but also has been in a weird contract relationship with her coworker [who has met the bro, and refers to the siblings as dogs weirdo] he "takes care of her" [i feel like he manipulated most people emotionally ] and they keep the facade as she wants to give her younger bro a "traditional family" for society while still both maintaining their true preferences[ she having a gf and apparently in the contract her fiancé is her bros bf ???] he comes back to be greeted by this seemingly stranger? (He faintly remembers meeting him but the toxic bf/fiancée gaslight him and use booze to cover his mess of manipulation and treating both as dogs ). The bro notices their relationship isn't usual, but still holds back his interest on fiancé, cause... Well he is "engaged" to his sis . Fiancé, as previously mentioned uses alcohol to kinda of trap bro into confessing and entering a relationship with him (illegal shit man... Imo) they keep this up as sis almost never is home( she mostly stays with her gf) and bro feels really guilty :( fiancé knows this and still maneuvers and manipulates all characters[sis, bro, sis gf] into what he wants out of them) bro is a sociopath. He even almost lets bro and him be discovered by sis( they were doing it on the dining table ) and barely make it. Bro is tired and ask to pastor son( he has been pestering and stalking bro cause bro was his 1st love[although he has a gf and he promptly dumped her when he knew bro had come back another crazy) what he should do ( cause he felt jelly and all his inferiority compless of years being emotionally abused and compared by his parents to his sis makes a come back and he verbally fights sis :v he says she is being like their horrible father) pastor son's gf says apologize to everyone( the only sane character together with sis gf i stg well... If you don't count she comes back to the guy who dumped her outta nowhere).
So he puts on his big boi pants and says sorry to fiancée 1st... Big mistake he is basically the master mind of all that shite. So fiancée blindsides him and talks in a metaphor about how bro and sis are dogs who need to be tamed and that his master mind plans were almost done, he kisses bro when sis comes home and she just apologizes( by fiancée's peer pressure cause he uses her guilt to manipulate her to do what he wants gotta love those sicko bastards!)
Are you telling me THIS WAS SEASON 1??? What.
What the hell???
Bruh
Ok: onto their characters and what I think each one needs to be healthy and happy
Sis: communicate. Please. For the love of good and the well-being of your loved ones(gf and bro) TALK TO THEM!!! Don't just be non verbally trying to do stuff right when you don't even make sure that's what they want/agree that is the best for them and just one sidedly tries to fix stuff . Yes it's hard due to trauma and your personality/mental illness (you can't convince me she is neuro typical). But bro, then go to therapy or try something please
Bro: almost the same thing but here is the catch, he does try to speak, but as he was always almost infantilized and shushed/not taken seriously and even berated( constantly being compared/ being jealous and not properly being taught to solve his emotional needs as a child by the adults around him) he just bottles up, feels upset/conflicted, doesn't work out really and whem it becomes too much he explodes.-.( Gets angered, says and do hurtful things and then runs away due to never knowing how to deal with conflict[as you can see, similar to his sister their coping mechanism is: literally evading and getting every opportunity to scape the actual problems{ again I think this is due to their parents relationship yay for generational trauma!}])
Pastor son: well... Religion can be... Suffocating. This hits close home... So I will probably project here if yall excuse me KKKKKK. So : the pastor dad is very strict and demanding ( as seem when he confronts his son about his injury on the forehead/eyebrow) so he also lives with a weird mindset, and I suspect that when he met bro he 1st was a friend but with the kiss prank he realized he was bi or something (???) and even went as far as being obsessed(not minding being injured by his crush[bro] ;[ also yikes! He must have been physically reprimanded :( to not mind this physical assault... Again probably projecting...] and even going as fas a committing his 1st "sin" towards his father[he never had lied before to his father, but he did to protect his crush]...) and never letting go of that crush/1st love( years after that he literally drops his gf to go stalk and be weird over bro )... So: separate with what is not good to you( apparently he did that already as we don't see him being... Church boi material KAKAKAKAK. With his dyed hair, piercings and also not church girl material gf[sorry if this is offensive... I grew up surrounded by relatives and other religious ppl who are VERY judgey on appearances and reputation :(]) but his world( which isn't exactly stable but not bad by all means [he has a supportive gf and was working/sustaining his life style ^^]) comes crashing down when he sees the cataclyst(bro) of his probable rebellion and changing phase.... So keep on track, don't throw your worls upside down bc of the past...(Again projecting) and keep the people who care and support you close! Give them the credit and love they deserve ^^!
The rest are either characters who are ok or the unforgivable broken terrible horror and nightmare fuel of a being: fiancée.-.
No backstory is given, but I just hate him. He is toying and manipulating everything and everyone.-. He has a twisted mentality about people( HE SAYS THE BROS ARE DOGS FFS!!!) he is a disgusting perverse creature who I wish nothing but to cease being such an evil and predatory influence on people who already have enough of suffering and hurting... But he relentlessly makes everything worse.... Gosh I despise him.-. Seriously wish for him to cease his existence??? In a very bland anticlimactic way: just poof! And begone you evil creature >:( stop whatever nefarious wickedness you are doing with those broken siblings, you sick fuck >:((((
So, that was about it, hope that if anyone read uo until now: that you have a lovely day and a great night of sleep :)
