Some Uncle Albert Crocker headcanons (and my design sheet) ✨️✨️✨️🧞‍♂️

[Tried to come up with a hairstyle for him, but ended up just giving him a messier version of Denzel's hair. Also made his eyes the same color Dolores has (but without heterochromia, it's only her personal feature in my hc). And idk why I see him wearing a red shirt, just his vibe. Might later look up fashion of different decades to make outfits like in "The secret origin of Denzel Crocker" time periods.]

I view him and Dolores Day as twins (though all Crockers look alike, you can never tell) or at least siblings who are identical in personality. They are both, in contrast to Denzel, cheerful, friendly and easygoing. Also, while Dolores Day is pretty affectionate and loving towards his son, she has some vague understanding of his personal space and boundaries. This man doesn't. His love for his nephew can't be contained or controlled, so every meeting with him ends up by Denzel being hugged and squeezed. That's one of the reasons why Denzel isn't very excited about his uncle, as shown in "Genie Meanie Minie Mo". This thing happened gradually, though, as he was actually liked his uncle's presence when he was a child.

So, uncle Albert lives in Canada, yet during Denzel's childhood he was living in Dimmesdale in order to help his sister (she was, after all, left alone with her child). So he was kind of the man figure in the house, helping her with the stuff she couldn't do (especially technical things, that could be where Denzel takes his inventor abilities). And he also was like a father figure to Denzel, a relative who was always around. He'd also tell him different stories about genies. Dolores wouldn't really mind his obsession as he experiences it differently, and having a genie-obsessed brother helped her cope easier with her son's craziness in the future.

I view Denzel and Albert as sort of opposites. They both have an obsession with magical creatures. But while Denzel is too insane about fairies, wastes his whole life and energy on proving their existence and is miserable, Albert is just a chill guy who oh so happens to believe in genies. I don't think he minded a lot when he was put in the mental institution. And I don't think Dolores is shocked by this either. They just exchange presents like a sweet family.

So, like I said, young Denzel really liked spending time with his uncle. But as he was growing up and gained his interest that distracted him from anything else, he would try to avoid Albert (because it is a relatable thing for teens and youth to leave adult company to adults at the dinner table and also because HUGS), perhaps he would lock in his room doing some researching and only come out to say hello or goodbye.

Nice little Bentham doodle based on that Paul + Linda McCartney song bc I’ve been thinking he’d absolutely love it, I’m so close to having his voice claim be Paul because of all the Beatles songs I relate him to, and that voice he puts on in the first half I can so hear him in it . Slight bit of analysis below the cut

I think Bentham would love the theme of connection across the world, after all, that’s his thing. It also conjured to mind that image of him putting his hands up like he’s “reaching for a pull up bar” because I think it’s sweet how enthusiastic he is about it all. I wish he’d have had more time with the panloopticon. I think he deserved that.

All that talk of “live a little, get around.” I think he was cursed by his exile in exactly the worst way, he was trapped in one spot. Both his siblings kind of took that away from him, intentionally or not, in their individual punishments. If you put on that song for him he’d have more fond memories than painful. He’d probably start talking to you for an hour or two about the places he’s been, things he’s done.

I mentioned he could have a record and cd collection as part of his museum recently elsewhere, to show the future as well as the past since he lives in the 1880s, and, this would probably be one of his favourites.

Anyway. If you can’t tell I love this song too.
