I’m just rewatching fantasy high clips while drawing and Bill Seacaster makes me emotional because like what do you mean he said
I’d love you if your name was written nowhere. And if I had to choose between you, and all of the places that my name is written, I’d scrub it from this and every world for another day.
ARE YOU KIDDING?? IT MAKES ME TEAR UP EVERY TIME IT’S NOT OKAY!!!
Bill Seacaster is such a great example of how parents can 100% love their children, try hard to correct the mistakes of their own childhood, and still fuck then up.
Bill Seacaster loves his son. He’d die for his son, he’d erase his name for his son, he wants his son to have only happiness and good things.
Fabian Seacaster struggles with a deep seated fear of failure coupled with the belief his father’s love is conditional on his success according to his father’s terms.
I see it so clearly: Bill Seacaster thought that his pronouncements of a grand future for Fabian were teaching Fabian his dad had an unwavering belief in Fabian’s inherent worth. Fabian heard that he had to succeed at everything or he’d fail and lose that support.
