discussions of grooming, misogyny, abuse, and sexual terror (harassment, assault, etc..
gang im sorry but you're probably never gonna convince me angelina groomed franco 😭 and it's not because "women can't be abusers", it's because no one has actually given me a good argument for why angelina would be a groomer beyond speculation.
LIKE. franco was probably exposed to prostitutes as a minor, and THAT i sympathize with. i can't imagine what that did to him psycho sexually, especially with his erectile dysfunction and ongoing parental abuse. however it's important to keep in mind that by the time angelina came into the picture, franco was CANONICALLY an adult and already assaulting and maiming people. like... these aren't behaviors that originated with her. angelina sticks out to franco because she was his first successful sexual encounter (HIM, who probably had great insecurity over the impotence), his father literally almost BEAT HIM TO DEATH, and then he was exiled. forever.
like idk i feel like there's so many other reasons why that part of his life was significant to him!! also there's so many more interesting takes to be had with ANGELINA. imagine being in that position. the secrecy. was she a multi-generational member, or completely new to this? how do you, the wife, act around your husband who's made a trend of killing his paramours? how do you, a woman (i.e, any fem-presenting person tbh), act around a man who's made a trend of raping and disfiguring his?
will reblog a post with proofs later because i do want to cite my sources and yk make sure i didn't misremember anything... but anyway please reblog this i'd so love to discuss it
prostitution exposure is a speculation inspired by the timeframe and lifestyle.
impotency:
from the wiki: "due to his impotency he would frequently murder his sexual partners for psychosexual reasons."
from his dialogue: "succulent little whores. i'll show you flaccid."
from his dialogue: "bambino. The indignity of it. how's a man supposed to... perform."
from his dialogue: "call me impotent? call me little?"
from his dialogue: "what, you think i can't get it up? come out, i'll show you."
parental abuse:
from the wiki: "the deformations of his skull and face are the result of both a birth defect, and frequent physical abuse from his father."
from the wiki: "his aggressive and explosive nature reflect a deep-seated insecurity, stemming from his abusive childhood and his feelings of sexual inadequacy."
from his dialogue: "who is that? my dad send you? think I'm fucking scared of you?"
implies fear of his father due to the abuse/near-death experience.
from the document, "Age Twelve":
from the Murkoff Chronicles, Issue 3:
in response to the previously mentioned murder.
from the Murkoff Chronicles, Issue 3:
in response to the affair.
franco's age vs angelina's age:
from the wiki: "he (salvatore) married angelina - a woman much closer in age to his son..."
from the document, "AKA Il Bambino":
from the document, "Age Twelve":
also significant here.
from the document, "Get Barbi":
year of collection will help with calculations.
from the Murkoff Chronicles, Issue 3:
the photo depicts a ten year-old franco. the photo was taken fifteen years ago. by previous accounts, that makes him 25-27 years old in 1959. depending on which you go with, he turned 18 in 1950/52 and 21 in 1953/55.
from the Murkoff Chronicles, Issue 3:
this "cuban situation" (presumably when fidel castro came into power) began in january, 1959. angela was "only a couple years older than franco" at the time of their affair.
from the document, "Counter Revolutionary":
confirming franco's involvement in the cuban community/helping "mutual friends" suggests his exile occurred sometime during 1959 (the CIA wasn't involved with cuban affairs during the 1953 revolution, but was when fidel castro assumed control). as there is no reason to assume the affair was kept secret for years (and it's highly unlikely it would have remained secret all those years, anyway), i estimate it occurring in 1957 at the earliest. this would make franco 23-25 years old when he slept with angelina.
franco's relationship with women:
from the wiki: "franco engaged in a sexual relationship with his stepmother angelina barbi, as her degradation brought him sexual pleasure."
from the wiki: "franco is also extremely sexually depraved in nature and takes pleasure in murdering out of arousal, killing one of the female Giants and engaging in necrophilia with her corpse."
from the wiki: "his aggressive and explosive nature reflect a deep-seated insecurity, stemming from his abusive childhood and his feelings of sexual inadequacy."
from the wiki: "barbi collects nipples".
from his dialogue: "she didn't have to laugh at me. she didn't have to do that."
unclear who "she" is.
from the document, "AKA Il Bambino": also significant here.
from the document, "Age Twelve": also significant here.
from the document, "The Gator Hook":
from the document, "Honey Island":
from the document, "Angelina":
from the Murkoff Chronicles, Issue 3:
from the Murkoff Chronicles, Issue 3:
from the Murkoff Chronicles, Issue 3:
the events following the affair:
from the wiki: "franco's father found out about the affair and severely beat him before exiling him, his life spared due to their blood relation."
salvatore and killing his wives:
from his dialogue: "i never knew my real mother."
from his dialogue: "my father killed my mother, you know that? doctors? you listening? i had a new mom every year..."
hyperbole, but still significant.
why i believe he could consent/pursue angelina:
from the wiki: "despite his disability and sustaining injuries through both his field of work and domestic abuse, he remains in otherwise excellent health and physical condition."
from the wiki: "barbi's midface hypoplasia, enlarged cranium, and laboured breathing are features reminiscent of those seen in people born with pfeiffer syndrome type I."
from the cleveland clinic: "children diagnosed with classic pfeiffer syndrome usually have an average life expectancy and typical intelligence with treatment."
from the boston children's hospital: "most of these children have normal intelligence and a normal life span."
my point in sharing this is that pfeiffer syndrome type I, which franco is most likely to have, is not an intellectual disability.
from the wiki: "franco does appear to possess a level of intelligence and craftsmanship, being able to produce his own ammunition within the trial environments as well as having instincts not dissimilar to a hunter."
Franco would most definitely have an Avoidant attachment style in relationships thanks to how his Dad raised him
I can see how a lot of people would headcanon him as anxious because of how desperate he seems for female affection and hatred for rejection but i think it’s a little more complicated than that, especially if we look at exactly how he wasn’t raised.
Avoidance attachment stems from the parental figure being emotionally or physically absent or just straight neglectful and often abusive, leaving their kids to deal with their emotions and effects of abuse on their own. Salvatore is the poster child for a neglectful parent.
Franco likes to put on a really big front. You could, for all intensive and cringe purposes, categorize him as a tsundere. He thirsts over people but would rather be caught dead than be seen by anyone (outside of the bedroom) as a needy baby who’s chasing a girl because he’s so desperate. He’s got a reputation to uphold! He’s a scary mobster who could get any girl he wants! He doesn’t “need” anybody. He raised himself so why should he be worried about relying on anyone?
Franco idealizes relationships more than he actually likes them. This is probably why Jenny got slimed even though she was his “favorite” of all the hookers. To be fair there’s a lot of possible reasons. An acorn could’ve dropped on the roof and he opened fire (funny police reference haha). But seriously he’s most definitely the type to be extremely turned off my emotional closeness.
The first couple of months dating him are (for his standards) great. He spoils you and revels in the attention and love. But then you start asking questions and being in his business. Bugging him about things like where he goes at night. He looks at other women on the street and your relationship starts to feel like a ball and chains. He wants someone new to love him all over again. Someone who doesn’t know anything about him, and will just give him love just because. Not because they feel pity for them, or because they “have to” because they’re in a relationship.
I think seeing how frequently his dad changed women it set something in him psychologically to like a revolving door of girls. He’s a greedy pig who wants it all without giving anything in return. Mostly because to return is to open yourself up emotionally and take responsibility for your immaturity. This man will never grow up.
I’m also a firm believer that after sex he gets CRAZY post nut clarity. He gets really embarrassed about the fact that he enjoys being babied and being vulnerable, even though it’s a guilty pleasure he only really gets to indulge in the bedroom. During sex he can make himself believe that his partner sees it as an act. That way he gets what he deeply craves without feeling vulnerable or like a big baby bitch. Outside of the bedroom, there’s no playing a fool, so he avoids it avidly.
That being said, like avoidants do, if you dump him or tell him how you feel he’d blow up on you and ghost you. Then come back after 2 months begging you to come back saying how sorry he is and how he wasn’t in the right head space (he’s not sorry he’s been with 10 other girls since you’ve been gone.) Quick and easy validation fuels him a lot which is why he loves hookers and cheating, but deep down he still wants someone that will love him unconditionally so he’ll always go back to the same person until they’re absolutely over his ass.
Also i myself am very avoidant so i don’t want any comments about how I’m slandering them. Having any non secure attachment style sucks and shouldn’t be villainized. It’s just in the case of this post the person with the attachment style is a literal villain.
🍻i made some free to use outlast trials banners for any adult artists or writers struggling with strangers online trying to sanitize the internet. stay weird stay queer.🤍🤍🤍🤍
wordle in 1: joyless. it is statistically inevitable that your go-to starting word will be the solution one day, and this is no more of an accomplishment than running a random number generator once a day until it gives you "1"
wordle in 2: misleading. you may think that this is the highest achievement, but it suffers from the same disappointment of a lucky guess that wordle in 1 causes. your second guess is a strategic choice, but ending the game this early just isn't interesting
wordle in 3: the peak. your starting word gave you some information and then your second guess contextualized that information into a solvable position. your sharp intuition and restraint is what truly separates you as above average.
wordle in 4: statistically average, par for the course, the baseline against which all other wordles are compared.
wordle in 5: you're sweating. you made a mistake at some point, or your starting word was effectively useless, and it took an extra guess above average to close things out. wordle in 5 comes as a relief.
wordle in 6: crushing humiliation. you have technically succeeded but at what cost. your thirty square grid will stare back at you like barrels of a firing squad. a failure in all but name.
wordle failure: never your fault. what kind of stupid word even was that like come on
