Sotp Sign: See, we're all without fathers-
*Pen and Dark get into a duo pose for no reason lmao*
Pen: We're not!
Dark Markery: Fucking love our dad.
(insert montage of them with their dad, one including him taking them both in with a bunch of bags)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lore Explanation:
Since their parents divorced, (due to their mother's abusive behaviour towards Marker) they were forced to live with their mother on weekdays, as there was no proof for the abuse as it was all emotional/verbal, plus the courts favour mothers in divorces. But their father was allowed to have them on the weekends!
Around when Pen was fourteen and Dark Markery was eleven, they both began to feel dsyphoric (since they're both trans in this AU), and Pen decided to speak to his mother about it first, in case it went bad... which it did.
Dark snapped at that moment, and they both made an agreement to run to their dad's house, but not without documenting what their mother said to Pen... by a recording device.
They both went off, and their dad and his first wife (who he remarried) saw them standing in the pouring rain... that was when Pen explained it all, and Dark showed the recording.
Then there was another court case, this time ending with them letting both Pen and Dark Markery make their decision regarding who to go with, and they chose their father, getting to reunite with their older half-sister. (being Crayon)
But that left a young boy riddled with trauma and guilt all alone with a woman who acted like he was responsible for the death of someone, when he was only six when that happened...
