is anyone else… on the larsdriver… train… hi…

his fucking mom died giving birth to him. like. jesus christ. i thought the direction this movie was taking was "lars is in love with his brother's wife so he sublimates those forbidden emotions into being in love with a doll" but the actual direction it went is so much more brutal. HIS MOM DIED GIVING BIRTH TO HIM he never met his mom. and now his sister in law whom he clearly adores even if he's no good at saying it - now she's pregnant. and it could still happen. she could still die. it doesn't matter that medicine has come a long way, she could still die she could die giving birth she could die she could die she could die.

and it's not just that he doesn't want karin to die. he also knows what happens to the man that gets left behind. he was the one who got stuck with dad when gus left home. with a grieving dad who didn't know how to be a father anymore. lars doesn't want gus to become their father. and he doesn't want the baby to go through what lars went through.

but he can't control those things. he can't control what happens to karin and gus and their unborn child. so he creates a girlfriend who can't have children. it won't happen to him, he won't let it. and still it doesn't matter because he can't stop worrying about karin. and gus. and the baby. he thought having a girlfriend would solve all his problems. but his sister in law is still pregnant and his mom still died giving birth to him. and he can't control anything. fuck
