Happy STS! Tell me about the fathers in your work. Do you notice recurring themes in them? What are some of your OCs relationships with their dads?
Well a current theme is that they don’t exist
I suppose Finnigan (the kindly Irish-Nigerian fisherman who takes in Beth and her friends) counts as a father figure, but none of the SOLE Gang actually know their biological fathers.
Also, it’s not plot relevant, so I don’t know anything about them either.
Both of Ash’s parents are missing-presumed-dead, and while Zach’s father is still around I haven’t spent time developing his family yet so I have no info there.
And Nora hasn’t come out to her parents and doesn’t live with them anymore, so I haven’t thought about them either.
As much as “writer with daddy issues” is a trope, I’m starting to see where people get it from lmao
