Jumbo Headcannons: Part 1
DISCLAIMER: This is merely my interpretation of this character and his background! I've been needing to jump on the bandwagon of actually creating stuff for him...So please...don't be mad lol.
____________________________________
1. Jumbo was born prematurely and even had a twin, but they had passed before they even entered the birth canal.
2. His mother had postpartum depression shortly after and had almost taken her life and his.
3. His father had to raise him most of the time and often ended up neglecting him due to his own work and his wife's reluctance to care for "the little beast" .
4. Jumbo was often left crying through the night and was only comforted by his father when the older male saw fit.
5. About 7 months after Jumbo's birth, his mother began to interact more with him. She still kept "little beast" as his nick name. He cried whenever she held him, but eventually felt safe with her.
6. She did not know how to read, but enjoyed telling him stories and singing/squaking to him whenever he did cry.
9. Jumbo didn't speak until the age of 6. He did get frustrated often, because he couldn't communicate well.
8. By the age of 8, Jumbo's mother had fallen ill.
9. He barely had hair and at the points in his life that he did, it was basically peach fuzz
10. She was not getting better and Jumbo's father was starting to panic since he was already stretched thin between work, his wife, and his child.
11. Jumbo's mother combated her consumption for close to a year and a half before she died. Both Jumbo and his father were devastated.
12. It didn't take long for Jumbo's father to abandon him completely, but before the man vanished he blamed Jumbo for every bit of his mother's death. He claimed that the child had been a never ending curse on thier family and that he was better off dead.
13. These curses along with others had been rained down on Jumbo every time his father was home for the next couple of months.
14. During this time Jumbo consoled himself through humming songs that his mother had sung to him and keeping articles of her clothing with him. He cried often, but at least now he didn't exactly have to rely on anyone else.
15. The final straw had been when Jumbo tried to console his father after one of his drunken escapades. His father snapped; lashing out at the large child violently. The older male punched him repeatedly and he passed out before the older man was done. When Jumbo woke up that night he could hardly move. Pain wracked his entire being and warranted endless amounts of hate for the person he had once called father. It took what had felt like ages before he dragged himself to his room. Bloodied and battered he stayed underneath his bed until he was able to move around more.
16. He left his home a week or so later, still bathed in blood, but none of it was his own...
