MERTHUR WEEK 2021 Day 03 : favourite arthur quest the quest for the Mortaeus flower

This very interesting post by @haleigh-sloth on how Shouto doesn’t voice his victimhood got me thinking - and maybe somewhere deep down he feels like he doesn’t deserve to view himself as a victim. After all - his birth was the final straw that tore the family apart. He was the masterpiece - the end goal that somehow justified the means in Endeavor’s eyes. 

It just stands out to me how Shouto - who fiercely asserts to the outside world that he’s not his father, that he’s different - when it comes to his family, he says things like this:

“my and my father’s prisoner”, “direct your rage at us”. 

He’s basically putting himself in the same box as Endeavor vis-à-vis Rei and Touya - like he’s sharing in Endeavor’s sin by the fact of his existence. 

And it’s just so sad to me - but I guess with Shouto having been treated his whole life as an extension, a property of Endeavor, it makes sense that these boundaries become blurry. A sense of self doesn’t develop overnight - especially not for someone who spent his childhood in extreme isolation, deprived of familial and social bonds, playtime and other opportunities that are essential for children to grow an independent identity.

So I feel like this could be a reason why Shouto has a hard time with recognising his own victimhood.
