I Just Got Off A Call With My Mother And Apparently She And My Father And Brother Are Coming For A Visit

A History of Logan

Admin: Alright a bit of a explanation/reminder of Logan’s relationships with his parents for those of you who don’t know/don’t remember. 

Logan grew up in a very conservative family. His parents are in the upper-class and they have a lot of high expectations for Logan. He’s been pressured to be perfect his whole life--perfect grades, perfect speech, perfect health, perfect everything. they are also pretty controlling. they make Logan do what they want him to do, and they don’t take his opinions or wants or needs into consideration. they’re very much “i know you better than you know yourself because i birthed/raised you.” 

When Logan got into collage (on a full scholarship, of course) it took a lot of convincing for his parents to let him go all the way across the country, but this school has one of the best teaching programs in the country, so that helped his case. 

Everything was fine until Logan started sharing a house with five other people. that was when he was “corrupted” (aka shown that he didn’t have to live exactly how his parents wanted him to). When Logan agreed to be a stage manager on one of Roman’s shows, they kinda lost it. It wasn’t what “they” had “agreed” on and it was unacceptable behavior. this is really what put Logan at odds with his family. they pressured him to transfer schools, and he eventually gave in and agreed. He couldn’t just tell them to shove it because he couldn’t risk them disowning him and leaving his little brother, Julian, at their expense. 

Logan’s housemates did not take kindly to the situation and worked very hard to figure out a way to help Logan stay. He told them about his aunt that he barely knew at the time, who was more than happy to meet them all and get to know her nephew more (she was never allowed in his life before then). when she found out what was going on, she promptly yelled at her sister and brother-in-law and made them agree to let Logan stay for the rest of the year. 

Summer came, Roman and Logan were officially a couple, and Logan’s parents wanted him to come home. He promised them a month, basically, and went there more out of obligation than anything else. During that trip he convinced them to let him finish out his bachelors degree at his current school and he was able to go back home to his boyfriend and housemates (friends. they’re friends). 

He’s hardly spoken to either of his parents since then, aside from short and careful conversations. He’s very fond of his aunt now, and he was (in the background) in the process of trying to get Julian into either his or his aunt’s custody. 

the how and why his parents basically kidnapped him is what you’ll have to stay tuned to find out

“There’s always a broader picture. There’s always something beyond the system you’re concentrating on. Never forget that. There are no clear boundaries. Life doesn’t stop at the boundaries of the table. And there are always more than six pockets you can fall into. There is always something beyond. Always, always, always.”

Hey Logo!! Happy birthday!!! You’re awesome and I hope you have an equally awesome day! -🌌

Thank you. I have a dinner planned with Roman, so my day should end exceptionally well. 

If it is any consolation for Roman, Julian is very excited to meet him. He wants to meet all of my housemates, but he is particularly interested in Roman. And Remus, though I believe that is only because of Remus's...eccentricities
