What the hell is wrong with Kristoph Gavin?? (headcanons)
- cptsd and potential bpd due to neglect, abuse and parentification by his parents
- tyrannical, angry famous defense attorney father, dismissive, neglectful socialite mother
- neglected as a young child and raised himself as an early reader. Straight As and “a joy to have in class. always polite"
- Polite due to terror of setting off his father’s temper, well spoken due to voracious reading as escapism.
- learned to manipulate people without asking directly for what he wants in order to get any kind of positive attention from his father or mother
- parentified and put in charge of raising Klavier as soon as Klavier arrived.
- golden child/scapegoat dynamic enforced by their parents which Kristoph hates. Tried unsuccessfully to protect Klavier from their parents’ anger– by always pushing Klavier to do better to measure up to their expectations.
- Constant attention seeking due to neglect as a child.
- Obsessed with keeping up appearances due to the fear as soon as people have a negative perception of you they’ll leave or destroy you.
- "the law is absolute” in that if you don’t get caught, you haven’t broken the law. Constantly had to evade and manipulate and loophole his father’s tyrannical rules in order to avoid being punished for minor and abusive reasons.
