#AND NOW ITS MORNING AND IM UP AND ITS EVERYONE'S PROBLEM NOW. CMERE

[hyp3rfixation-h3ll]

great post bestie !!! too bad you made it in the vicinity of someone whos is completely DERANGED about 2 of the characters you're talking about here. CRACKS KNUCKLES.

its not JUST about this either (though you DID hit the nail on the head), it's about ALL of them being utterly fucking SCARED. they've never actually Properly Met besides when Pac went to the past, so can you imagine THE EXPECTATIONS they're all holding themselves to ? the PRESSURE is ON them, all 3 of them.

Pac doesn't want to disappoint his own folks with the person HE is, and neither do THEY wanna let HIM down because he's heard SO much about them, and what if... they're just.. not what he expected them to be?

And not only that, but it's been YEARS. over a DECADE (at LEAST 16 years if you're like me and tried to do the math years ago with a friend on amino using headcanons <3).. They've changed. All of them have. Especially if we're going with the theory that Sunny and Zac are being held captive by the Pointyheads. When they finally stop to reflect, at least one of them is going to be anxious because what if they're no longer recognisable from the people they were? What if they're not believed? What if everyone they knew and loved turned their back on them because they changed too much? (I choose to believe this is sunny btw. Zac is the voice of reason, but honestly he's equally as anxious.)

They're traumatised, they're scared, they probably look and act a little different,

and then they're thrust into a situation that honestly doesn't fucking seem real.

And it is.

And the three of them can all finally rest. and put their guards down. and cry, and embrace each other for the first time. for the first actual time.

They have a lot of catching up to do. But i dont think they mind one bit.

If I may ask

What’s your approach on pac finally meeting his folks

For me,I feel like there’s gonna be a lot of tears…

Oh, definitely tears! If there are no tears then I'd be suspicious 😂

Man. Pac's reunion with his parents. That's a scene that I think we've all been waiting and hoping for.

The entire show gave it so much build-up and anticipation, it's such a disappointment that we didn't get to see it happen (for real) before the show stopped.

My approach would be to follow through on that build-up and write a reunion that gives it justice. Give it a deep and emotional impact, not too light-hearted but not too sappy either, at least not in a way that strips the scene of its believability and impact.

There are so many ways I could approach their reunion. So much so that I'll be open to changes and tweaks in order to polish it as much as possible. But if I ever get to a point of opportunity, then this is how I imagine it to go...

For his whole life, Pac has long hoped to one day be together with his parents again. The mystery behind their disappearance has haunted him for as long as he could remember. While he never got closure on WHY they vanished, he inevitably got to a point where he's accepted that they are gone and won't return. Essentially, he lost hope. But his world was thrown upside down when he found out that they could in fact still be alive, and may be held prisoner on an alien world.

Since then, his hope has been rekindled...but it almost got snuffed out by the clones-incident. Try to be in Pac's shoes; for a long time he's never gotten closure on his parents' disappearance and believed that they were dead, then he was told that they're actually still alive, and then out of the blue they 'return' and Pac felt the happiest he's ever been...until his hope was brutally crushed when it was revealed that his 'parents' were just Dr B's clones meant to fool him into jeopardising the Tree of Life.

I'd imagine that Pac got trust issues out of the incident. Not in terms of trusting people, but by putting his trust in 'hope,' because all that hope has gotten him was deception and a broken heart.

And because of this, when the time came for Pac to truly reunite with his parents... he was terrified.

He was scared over the possibility of it just being another stunt, another case of false hope. He may even think it was just a dream, or a nightmare in the making, because he was too scared to allow himself the liberty to believe that he finally had his family back.

In many ways, the same can be said for Zac and Sunny. Two souls who have been isolated from their kind for unprecedented years, enduring who-knows-what horrors in their time as prisoners on Pointyhead Planet, wanting nothing more than to be back home with their son.

So, for both sides, it's a moment of truth...

But as soon as the first step was made, when the first hug was embraced, all of their doubts and fears sizzled away.

When Pac was in their arms, letting it all sink in, tears streamed down his face.

And for the first time in a long time, he no longer had false hope.

He had his family.
