Some people ask me "why are you so obsessed with the Mystery Kids' franchises?" and truth be told I think something just hits me about stories where children are tasked with repairing the multi-generational damage caused by their elders.

#Coraline is the shakiest example of this but if you count the Bedlam as an adult and what she did to Wybie's grandma's family it checks #Coraline #Paranorman #Psychonauts #Gravity Falls #The Stan twins had a petty multi-decade rivalry that nearly destroyed the universe several times #Ford Cruller is a war criminal who truamatized all his friends and trapped himself in a mental prison made of his own failures #Norman takes the cake tho for having to unravel a 300 year old cycle of trauma that was only getting kicked down the road #This is a recurring theme in media and it's starting to feel like a desperate cry for help
