This Very Interesting Post By @haleigh-sloth On How Shouto Doesnt Voice His Victimhood Got Me Thinking

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.

John’s anger at Sherlock over Mary’s death meant a long break in their friendship, and it’s only precariously patched up. But now he’s back in the sitting room of Baker Street,  listening to a plump little bookseller and his dire-looking companion explain why they need Sherlock to help them find a certain boy before the impending End Of The World.

Rains of fish, violin playing, fast driving in a Ford Fiesta, and Sherlock and John working out what they mean to each other in the shadow of Armageddon.
