It’s nice they have some common ground, three-ways. Especially sweet that there is some give & take there... they both respected one another’s choice for the third partner, and they rolled with the frustration (girl saying no) and were rewarded (boy says yes). So much progress in a few short seconds!

[@tessa1267]

Well he did sketches for like his first five years on the show, but never felt comfortable and much preferred writing, which while disappointing, cuz I think he was great with them and once he switched to the update desk he no longer did sketches, what’s important is that he was happy with what he was doing I guess.

I think it's more they have to scream at someone and they found someone else who has to too. No one would be with them and if someone DID decide to be with them, they would scream and they wouldn't and they'd have to deal with how they suck as a person. They deserve each other. They literally can't find someone else to lash out at.

[@hodan4827]

reemCGR what's it about?

[@reemCGR]

Gumball A narcissistic parent is a parent affected by narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder. Typically narcissistic parents are exclusively and possessively close to their children and may be especially envious of, and threatened by, their child's growing independence. The result may be what has been termed a pattern of narcissistic attachment, with the child considered to exist solely to fulfill the parent's wishes and needs ,Relative to developmental psychology, narcissistic parenting will adversely affect children in the areas of reasoning, emotional, ethical, and societal behaviors and attitudes as they mature Within the realm of narcissistic parenting, personal boundaries are often disregarded with the goal of molding and manipulating the child to satisfy the parents’ expectations. Narcissistic people with low self esteem feel the need to control how others regard them, fearing they will be blamed or rejected and personal inadequacies exposed. They are self-absorbed, some to the point of grandiosity; and being preoccupied with protecting their self image, they tend to be inflexible, and lack the empathy necessary for child raising.
