hazel had a pet rock that was picked off a parking lot in like 2nd grade named “quartz” (or any basic rock name, you could probably even do a flower name it would still fit). Now that rock, WAS HER BABYYYY OMGG. Way different from the rock collection she has now with the little faces (which should be talked about more). She treated it like a literal animal.
she brought it everywhere and showed everyone on the playground her amazing rock with a little smiley face drawn on it. She walked it in her backyard and tried to play fetch with it where she used to live. She brought it to the dinner table and tried to feed it.. while she fed it in her perspective. Oh and her pet rock took Antony’s seat at the dinner table btw
Marcus and Angela tried to let her down slowly as best they could saying, “honey.. that’s not a pet. That’s a rock. It can’t do anything!” and she never believed them whatsoever. Until one day, antony sorr of brushed the rock away from his seat on accident and it split in half because of how much it was used. (Cartoon logic)
Hazel ran off to her room, locking herself in there and cried at this while Antony got grounded for breaking it 💔💔 or a stern talking to
now I'm even more curious on how angela's childhood went
Oh! Nothing much!
tw: kinda themes of eating disorders, bad parenting, and bullying, i`ll try not to talk to deeply abt it, and go soft /i hate these themes and can relate/ but yea, just in case
She...Just got unlucky with friends here, where her creativity wasnt really appreciated, especially on holidays ( i have a hc that Swap!Angela liked using all unconventional stuff she could find in her way of expressing herself, and that looked cool, but she was in the wrong place to show )^: ), yeah, girl got a very small group of friends, and even they arent that nice, her teachers treated her better smh- and after one b-day she got the nickname "Two bits". What a friendly nickname!
Bad parenting there(not physical tho), no one wants to have a daugher that didnt get only 2 points for perfect score on the test.. Of impolite and wont finish eating the dish your friends cooked, just cause "The way she cooks is gross, i think she sneezed on the fish".
...And her tutor said: "Why would you eat so much anyway, girl, you dont look like youll need the food for 2 years" , so the prev point kinda more complex. So girl kinda became a picky eater. We dont talk abt guilty midnight-snacking on "bad" food in childhood, girl was SO ashamed when her mom found out she ate some cheese
The tutor was fired after parents questioned Angela abt wrapping paper from some burger and pressured kid to tell `em abt it-
Thanks to the childhood Angela now have a weird qurk where she NEEDS to know the price of your gift in events, so bring the receipt too(unless its from da family. Marcus is a perfectionist and very picky, Ant is always asks before gifting, so she knows in advance, and Hazel is a small bean & all her presents at that age are important)
