Simon's mom's an alcoholic. Not a good thing, but I'm overcome with feels about Climon and the Fray family helping him and Rebecca cope. Headcannons, pleaaaase??

Oh how I love defiantly obedient whumpees. The ones who do what Whumper says but are full of spite. The ones who spit out the word “sir” at the end of each sentence, or wait until Whumper goes to strike before dropping to their knees. The ones who use sarcasm and humor in the worst moments, only succeeding in pissing Whumper off more.
