things about kai parker that rarely anyone talks about ; a thread.
before i start, i would like to thank writingsbychlo on tumblr for what they posted on this certain topic because it helped me make this thread :)
✧ he spent twenty years in isolation (prison world) and is then blamed for being crazy.
✧ he had no knowledge of the real since he was trapped in the prison world. he missed technology growing and evolving which meant he had to learn everything from scratch.
✧ it was shown very clearly that he was mentally abused for the way he was born, maybe even physically (by the way his father acted).
✧ he TRIED to help bonnie, even if for selfish & confused reasons, by trying to kill damon. he could’ve just siphoned her magic, slit her throat for the bennett blood and left them both, he didn’t. this doesn’t make him the best person ever, but does say a lot.
✧ despite having a ‘soft spot’ for his sister, which showed us he had emotions, he was always going to be the ‘bad child’.
✧ he was literally named ‘malachi’ and acknowledged that everyone thought he was evil. imagine being raised as ‘the evil child’ and then having to suffer for what they made you.
✧ back to bonnie! in certain parts of the show, we can see where kai cares for her or is concerned about her. he obviously made mistakes when interacting with her like shooting her with an arrow & etc, but he later on wanted to apologize to her for everything and even (1)
threw out the “did it sound like she missed me?” when damon got off the phone with her. he could have done some things different, but you can’t expect kai to automatically welcome random people he knows after years of being alone (especially due to why he was in the world).
✧ nobody took the time to try to listen to him or help him with anything. they all pushed him to the side.
✧ he was raised for the pure fact that he was going to die against jo since he wasn’t as strong as her.
FINAL WORDS : stop blaming kai for the way he acts because all in all, he was a victim of his families cruel actions.
