the weight of being unemployed hits different these days
i read more posts from others similar to ma last one
i think we all forgettin that all these characters have their own trauma and mistakes at the same time
nurf is abused and he abused preston
jermy is bullied and unwanted and did shit to his dog
max is neglected and uses people for his advantage
nerris actually has a good home life but they kept discouraging harrison and his dreams
harrison wasnt taken seriously and casted that weird ass spell on max and didnt apologize ((which if i remember correctly happened way before the whole bullying harrison in front of everyone thing
and all the others
that kinda shows the camp isnt a place for innocent little misunderstood babies that need love and attention
its for kids that are fucked in the head whether it be them wanting to hurt and manipulate others or them being hurt and searching for a safe space
what am saying is dont think of these kids like this:
"they had a shitty past yet they are fully innocent and wouldnt hurt others the way they were hurt"
they were hurt and it affected them to the core which makes them very complicated characters
i mean max is the very obvious example here
he tried to kill david multiple times that shit shouldnt be ignored its a 10yo kid tryna kill a 24yo guy just because he is too happy for his liking u see how fucked up that is when you type it out
but theres also the fact that he doesnt like to see his friends or david upset at all and wants everyone to be happy while also doing his best to fuck everything up but also tryna fix everything
not even he knows what he wants the neglect from his parents then the sudden extra attention from david messed him up
theres also the thing with the writing
most stuff in the show are written in a comedic way just so you can have a little laugh then forget about it but when you really think about it you realize that shit is fucked up
cameron said smth like "my father never hugged me and my uncle hugged me too much" or smth like that
see that was just a joke that was put in the episode for like a second then never talked about
and they do the same with every other characters traumatic experience
yeah thats it im just yapping idk im bored
