wow i wonder why does my kid have such a hard time talking to me

[apuppetonstrings]

ngl don't really know how to feel about berdly's mom, or at least what kind of implications that have been about her.

if she was a perfectly normal parent, why would berdly have this whole false dichotomy about how being smart is the only way he'll be valued or paid attention too?

there's always "berdly might not see the conditional support his family gives him" but if that was the case,

why was kris the only person to actually help him in the weird route when he's. comatose presumably.

did his parents just not think to call him? he has a cellphone so it's not a "he doesn't have quick communication" thing either.

also does he even have a dad???? there's never a inkling about him or if he's even around or if berdly ever even had one. which could explain some of his backstory in bluebird of misfortune but it could always just be a joint effort on both his mom n dad?

or idk maybe we're all crazy and just pinning this weird teenager's issues on a woman we don't even know.

but there have been many themes of parental issues especially around our protags (lancer though not really elaborated on, susie potentially, kris n most prevalent example, likely dess n definitely noelle)

so why would berdly be any different?

anndddd those are kinda my very unfiltered thoughts on berdly's mom and potentially father if he even exists. berdly has always been a really interesting n relatable character to me so i had to spew some words about what his mom or him could be up too.
