I haven’t abandoned twt yet, I sometimes jokingly call it my home and I’m pretty used to what’s going on over there, but I’m looking forward to posting more over here too! Let’s just say, I’m trying to expand my horizons, lol! If ur interested, my user is the same one on both platforms, so check out my other account! I don’t post there as much as I do over here imo, but i don’t really mind people looking…

Darnells mom is a surprisingly nice lady. Not afraid to show kindness too, nd has a good heart. She makes sure Nells friends always feel welcome and at home when the visit or stay over.
Despise everything Darnells dad can be a chill dude. Hes so chill in fact that he doesn't mind having a smoke break together w his son. He even gave him his old car when he got his license bc he already managed to buy another and is currently working on it.
Wonder how difficult it would be to be in Darnells moms shoes... Autistic, but mostly unaware of it, overworked (or burnt out even) black woman who has to deal w terrible migraines, having to raise a son and dealing with the aftermath of divorce on top of it all...
-> There is some visible damage on the walls and some pieces of furniture from Darnell not being able to control his impulses. In some rooms it's worse then others. None present in the bathroom and his moms bedroom. There has been a fire in the kitchen before too, most of the issues in there have been fixed but some burns remain, from said burned items not being replaced (yet). Despite that his mom makes sure to organize and keep everything clean. No noticeable filth anywhere.
Dads house
-> Some burns on furniture of walls are present but not as much as Darnells moms house. The difference is big. But it is a pretty dimly lit and kinda messy place. Most organized is the living room, possibly the kitchen too. In some areas there are a bunch of empty bottles previously containing beer or any other alcoholic bev. His dad tries to get rid of them but new piles get will get formed eventually. There wil be a moment in time where he cleans up most of the messes and bottles, giving him and anyone that enters his home more visual and mental clarity. It takes time tho. This also goes for any ashtrays laying around the house, they are messy but will get cleaned up later on until the cycle repeats.
This is my headcanon about Darnells family situation, concerning him and his parents
(Mentions divorce and domestic violence + this is a long post)
I feel like his parents were pretty tough on him when he was younger, esp his dad. Not to dismiss his mom, bc I see her caring more for Nell more, but she also did harm out of not knowing how to exactly take care of him at the time.
Like think of him being an mildly autistic child and the difficulties that brings, on top of him developing his phyromaniacal tendencies but also being a 'genius' or child prodigy... Oh yeah and the developing migraines too.
Then couple that with his parents not knowing how to raise an autistic child, the accidents w him making fires nd then making sure he doesn't mess up like that again, even when their 'preventative measures' don't always work, and then feeling the need to push him academically bc of his supposedly high IQ.
They believed in disciplining their child, surely it worked out when they were both kids, so why wouldn't it this time? Whether it be through words or physical actions...
I think his parents really wanted him to succeed so they expected him to get good grades and to look + perform well socially. So they pressured him to do so. Nd that has its consequences.
So now ab his parents marrige/relationship... It wasn't healthy one and that in turn had an impact on younger Nell too.
I'm thinking that both his parents had their own problems and still had alot to learn when they got together. At first everything in their relationship seemed fine but then the disagreements and arguments between them grew and things got extra difficult when their son was born, like financially for example.
There are moments where Darnells dad initiated physical violence onto his partner out of anger and frustration. Hearing and seeing your parent argue infont of you certainly fucks you up.
Things kept going on like this until Darnells parents finally file for a divorce, Nell himself is still pretty young when this all happened.
Some things got ab bit better after the divorce but its not like the sky fully clears yet, and its not gonna do so for a long long time.
From somewhere in his elementary school years to like his first few middle school years, I see Darnell staying at his mom's house for the school days and then going to his dad's place for the weekend (like typical kid of divorced parents stuff), but he eventually decided to stay with his mom bc he found that the living situation was better. Neither of his parents were coping well with the divorce but it looked like his dad was handling it worse.
He already stayed with her the majority of the week, she lived closer to his school and it felt like she actually put more effort into caring for + parenting him so this seemed like the next logical path to take. He stays w her throughout his highschool years until he moves out. He would be around college age at that point.
Wanted to talk about this quickly too. Ofc his parents still have to work to support themselves, but mom is working harder to sustain 2 people, and having children, let alone 1, can get expensive. Dad isn't doing too well bc of the amount of work he does to not drown in his own sorrows and thoughts, which has its own consequences. Just to say there's been moments where they were and still are struggling financially.
Now, imagine Darnells realization when he finally connects the dots in his mind, causing him to actually see that his mom has her own issues she has to work through despite them both wanting to deny it. No one is truely perfect. Ofc that wasn't the case for his dad but his mom isn't dissimilar.
He thought he had already seen enough the times he had to spend over at his dads house and thought hed get some sort of break while staying w his mom, but nooo he just got fooled lol
Darnells parents do try their best to become better people but things happen very slowly. His mom is ok with talking about that stuff and she does put in effort to change. I think this might also b the case bc she and Darnell are closer (more than he and his dad are) and she just wants the best for him. I can see them getting closer after more time passes and some of their problems are resolved.
Nell does visit her from time to time and she calls him a bunch when hes finally not dependent on her anymore, living on his own.
Now, I think Darnell dislikes his dad tbh. His dad is also trying but since everything that has happend between them while they were staying together (evn if the weekends were short), and Nell sort of like cutting most contact w him things aren't going smoothly w them.
Ig his feeling towards his dad get more neutral the more time passes. They see eachother, rarely, but it's not like hes searching for his dad or a strong connection w him. Ig u could say they hold some respect for eachother, and his dad will reach out to him, but other than that nothings really happening between them.
But yeah, if I can list all these 'reasons' I think it's understandable why Darnell would spend most of his time outside, so he doesn't have to put up w the difficult situations in both homes. Hes meeting up w his friends, doing graffiti or burning things to cope if not anything else that borders on criminal. Or just taking really long walks.
Again about the financial aspect of his home life. When Darnell was in highschool or old enough he was finding ways to help and make money so they (him and his mom) could afford everything they needed. The situation surrounding money wasn't ideal and it's been like that even before his parent got him and got married. So like imagine ur mom working almost everyday and it still not being enough to the point where u feel like u need to contribute to stay afloat.
No one in this family seems to be able to catch a fk break 😭
This is it for now but I may go on and elaborate on this some more :p
