#greg's dad

[you-me-we-04]

Colin Firth should play Greg’s (evil) gay dad.

[tomwambsgans]

could you expand a bit more on your theory of what happened to greg's dad? so far it seems super interesting

so it's def not something i thought of independently, i've seen similar musings in other ppl's posts (though idk if i've reblogged any of em and idk exactly who has said what) but here's the rundown of my thinking, particularly about the "your father used to sleep with all the men in sausalito" line:

it's likely referring to either prior to greg's birth or very very early on in greg's life, which would have been in the late 80s and/or early 90s

sausalito is basically right across from san francisco, which is/was THE gay man hub and which therefore had some of the most known cases of HIV during the AIDS crisis. which was the era that greg's dad was apparently having a lot of casual sex

also if caroline was there to know that her niece-in-law's baby daddy was not only gay but actively, functionally so, and laughs about it directly to greg like it's not some secret at all, then it stands to be assumed that their relationship was at the very least open and most likely never serious to begin with.

add this to connor telling greg about his mom sitting on the lap of gore vidal who is famously bisexual, giving her a track record of hanging around mlm. she was def the kinda girl who went to gay bars back in the day. anyway

going from there, personally i've come to the conclusion that, whatever motivated it - mr. hirsch thinking for a sec he might be bi, or him actually being incidentally bi, or just drunkenness and random fun - greg was born out of more or less a hookup that tied his parents together out of obligation.

given that greg never mentions the guy and looks explicitly uncomfortable when caroline says the sausalito line, i have to then also assume that greg's dad wasn't a positive figure in his life. which, based on how greg is, i can only imagine being the case if the guy just wasn't in it. then add THAT to allusions made to viruses particularly re: greg multiple times in the show.... basically it all creates a big steaming pot of, both functionally in-universe and as meta symbolism, It's Very Plausible Greg's Dad Died Of AIDS-Related Complications.

also imo i feel like even before dying the guy was probably not super present? like i do want to think that he made an effort to stay in greg's life but then, that he'd have been pretty unhappy trying to Make It Work with marianne so he didn't try to pretend to be anyone he wasn't. and the man he was was a bit of a whore. and i also figure that they were living in california before greg was born, and then marianne probably moved back to canada to be near ewan sometime shortly after, so if mr hirsch moved there with her, he wouldn't even have had nearly as much community up there as he def liked to have.

..point is, i think he planned on being a dad just as little as marianne planned on being a mom if not less. and he maybe didn't have it in him to settle down and make fatherhood his full time thing even assuming that he did love greg.

ntm ewan probably hated greg's dad's guts and didn't like the idea of him taking part in raising greg if he was also gonna be openly gay (especially if he was diagnosed with HIV and if ewan knew about it), which would make it a good chance that he was a factor in the guy only visiting sometimes at best and never bringing male partners with him.

so long story short i'm not like 100% set on it as a greg's dad backstory but i think it would make greg's behavior (especially as it relates to greg himself being gay) make a lot if not the most possible sense

'Lee Pace as Greg's dad' enjoyers HAVE to watch Halt and Catch Fire - a show in which Lee Pace's character is a bisexual married to a woman who's father is an overbearing multi millionaire played by James Cromwell

Greg's dad helps him recreate the recipe for potatoes and molasses. Wirt is also there, though he's not sure that he should be.

Also available on AO3 here.

This time credit goes to @why-bless-your-heart for this life hack.

there's so much widely-agreed fanon that i forget sometimes that the only things we actually KNOW about greg's dad is that he's gay and a bit of a slut, and most likely not currently present in greg's life. but literally the circumstances of his relationship with greg's mom, when he stopped being present, if he was EVER all that present, if greg knew that his dad was gay when he was growing up, if he's even alive.... we have no fucking clue. i stg if we don't get a detail or two in s4 i'm blowing this place to kingdom come

do you think wirt's dad came to see him after the incident?? (i was going to say in the hospital but they seemed okay enough to be discharged p quickly)

Yes, I think he did.

I like to imagine that it aided the slow mending of their relationship. For Wirt’s father to realize that his kid could have died and he wouldn’t have been there. For Wirt to come back from his journey valuing his family a little more and seeing things a little differently.

What I especially like to think about, though, is Greg’s dad coming into Wirt’s hospital room and sitting on the end of the bed, awkwardly, for a few minutes, and finally clearing his throat and saying, “Thank you for saving my son.”

He’s been trying for years to be Wirt’s dad, too, but Wirt has been having none of it, and for just this one minute he acknowledges Wirt not as a kid he’s trying to parent but as a fellow adult, one he’s grateful to.

And from there Wirt realizes, you know what? You’ll never be my dad, but you’re Greg’s dad and that’s a good thing to be, because I love Greg, and we’ll make this work somehow.

[allieinarden]

Wirt and his stepdad??

Greg’s dad is big, jovial, friendly and unpretentious--everything Wirt’s not. 

He did encourage Wirt’s clarinet playing when he would have given it up, though.
