Some of y'all need to hear this. (Creator- _talklessplz on tiktok)
Also many people also argue that if he was capable of breaking his hold with Thornhill and now his mom. then he could have chosen to not kill those people, and NO, though we do not know the specific circumstances of why he was able to break it BUT WE DO KNOW that he was completely controlled and couldn't stop his actions as we are told by Hunter doohan that he's "not in control" and why we get small moments of genuine emotion peeking through the cracks because he's almost always being controlled, my personal theory is that he's able to break the Master Hyde relationship because of Hyde's vindictive natures, every time he has broken the bond it has been to get revenge or because he had something to get revenge for
Thornhill LITTERALY EVERYTHING, Being in willow Hill, being a murder, being mid controlled EVERYTHING was her fault and he says that.
his Mom tried to take his Hyde away from him, something he expressed made him feel free, something that despite putting him in horrible situations is a part of who he is and everything, he wasn't as mad as we can see he wasn't trying to kill his mom (she did that herself) but it was enough for him to break out and get her back for such (additionally also slapping him and just in general making him have a master again probably wasn't something super great for him)
He isn't in control, HE CANT DO ANYTHING. y'all need to realize that.
