hi omg fellow traumatized mitm.im not obssessed with mitm alone but in general dirtbag trauma-teens because,,theyre all so relatable.
i dont like most cest ships and im (or was...??) a huge malcolm x cynthia,,shipper but i do feel malcolms family dynamic was v fucked up so it was def,,, real in someway? like the whole lois going through reeses porn stash is something similar my parents did to me as a kid a someone who is a,,victim . like wilkercest is canon. in a fucked up way, not a huge uwu cutesy way like i feel most on here are... acting like. sorry
i feel like cynthias rrelationship with her and malcolm and stevies were kinda ruined by lois and hal, malcolm def was. a vctim. like lois feels emotionally incestous. hal was defiently..just letting lois be kinda weird to malcolm and francis.. also ur not romantizing it like most others who are proshippers and wilkercest fans,,, which feels fucked up to me why are half of these people...like this. anyway and uhm i get u so much cause im into 'weird shit' cause of trauma lmao esp the shit i went through at 12 and 19 and malcolm literally just echos my thoughts. the wilkerson family WOULD been abusing prescribed adderall and vyvanse btw and ritalin. you cant tell me otherwise.
Like if this show wasnt from the 90s and 00s uhm it would've been craaazzzy fucked up. kinda want this show 2 be remade in the style of gregg araki or thirteen 2003 or like whiplash, idk really theres alot of films i feel would fit them but (obsessed with this movie as u can see,; malcolm WOULD"VE had a friendship like evies and tracys, maybe with francis or reese or some equally fukced up ex gifted kid. i feel theres proof of this alone with how he let that one popular girl treat him. poor guy so relatable. but the characters friendship would've less girlish and more,,,,,,,im not sure how to explain,,,,,, boyhood?) also im p sure malcolm has npd. im ngl. sorruy if this is weird btw
random tidbit i mentioned this i dont like how victims cant cope on social media now addays or talk without being called creeps or lumped in with proshippers or incest fetishers idk .
also americana by the offspring reminds me of mitm please especially pay the man. and walla walla. same thing with sugarcult stuck in america and bouncing off the walls sorry if im rambling but i love it when people headcanon fucked up characters that are young actually fucked up... and young and dumb and stupidly numb to a disgusting society and world. bleh bye love ur blog!!!
HI I FUCKING LOVE YOU this made my day. never EVER apologize for rambling. I love dissecting rants to reply piece by piece.
totally get the mal/cynthia stuff. They were cute and im nothing if not the biggest multishipper ever. Actually the 13rw/mitm fic i was planning was originally gonna be malcolm/cynthia till i saw that there were already longfics for them (while most wilkercest stuff is oneshots/short) so i switched from hannah-cynthia/clay-malcolm, to malcolm as hannah, but trust me they remain in my heart lol
Ohh my god they definitely have some sort of emotional incest going on throughout the family, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed how freaky it is IN CANON? Whenever I think of it, i specifically remember how averse Lois is to anyone dating her sons, which felt very possessive tiktok-boy-mom-esque, and overall just carries incestuous undertones :P
I do appreciate you feeling that I don't romanticize it, I always try to acknowledge that its something grotesque and detrimental to a child's psyche, but it does happen in the real world and needs to be in media for multiple reasons--one of them being to spread awareness of these dynamics. Though the freakier posts I make (that one COULD call romanticization to some extent) are catered mainly to me anyway, hehe...look if I don't bring SOME whimsical non-puritan perspective into this I'll take it to seriously and start having Vietnam flashbacks
YES that family is definitely full of people who will have relied on a substance at SOME point in their lives. Plus, I've noticed that the smarter a person is the more likely they are to delve into [hard] drugs for an escape, which is why I've talked about my headcanons of Malcolm doing heavier/crazier stuff. (I WILL write that overdose fic one day. Im thinking dilaudid? It came to me in a dream.) Plus I like the idea of the family being hypocrites when they find out, where they're all going through their own addictions but press down on him for it because hes supposed to be "the smart one" or the one to "make it out and save them," that sort of thing.
I still need to watch the movie 13 but i WILL get back to you once Ive done that.
I like your NPD malcolm headcanon...if you wanted to talk about disorder headcanons I hope you feel bold enough to dm me because i have IDEAS. (I swear he has OCD and Reactive attachment disorder just hear me out..) ((Francis Disinhibited Social Engagement disorder...mmfhfnfmfgghg)
Definitely strange how traumatized people cant exist online without being condemned for literal, non-harmful (!!!), coping mechanisms, but here we are. That's why I think its important to make our own safe spaces by forming circles online of like-minded people :)
I went ahead and listened to the offspring while writing this, and all I have to say is I couldn't agree more. "I am a product of my environment" is something i can basically hear ANY of the characters saying. Also ive never heard a song give off MORE of an mitm vibe than walla walla, god what I wouldn't give to see Reese and Malcolm thrashing around to it. I've been meaning to make a playlist anyways, and I hope you know your recommendations are totally making an appearance when I do!!!
