Evelyn Blackthorn: Barges in, grabs you Miss me, asshole?
alrighty sooo we’re just gonna be talking about the blackthorns?
Damn straight, sweetheart. Let's dive right into the deep end with this one.
Alrighty then, let's see how much you really know about the Blackthorns. First question, who's the head of the Blackthorn family?
Ha! You wish, kiddo. My dad may be the head of the family, but he's a bastard through and through.
okie wait so you’re saying that your dad isn’t the head of the blackthorn family?
No, I'm saying that while he may hold the title, he doesn't have the respect or loyalty of the family. That's because he's a self-serving, power-hungry piece of shit.
are you saying that your dad’s a shitty leader?
Damn straight I am. This guy's so focused on his own ego that he's forgotten what the Blackthorn family actually means. He's ruining our legacy, and I won't stand for it.
so what would make him a good leader?
What makes him a good leader? It starts with respect. He needs to earn the respect of every member of the family, show them that he actually gives a damn about more than just his own gain.
ok so he needs to not be selfish and greedy
Exactly! If he could just shed his ego and start acting like a leader, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
Another thing, he needs to be decisive. The Blackthorns don't have time for indecisive leaders. He has to make tough calls and stick to his decisions. No wavering, no second-guessing.
And finally, he needs to protect the family at all costs. A true leader puts the safety and well-being of the family above all else. He needs to be willing to make sacrifices, to do whatever it takes to ensure our survival.
so basically he needs to be everything but a leader
Don't you get it? A true leader isn't some power-hungry prick. He's a protector, a guide, a unifying force. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty when it means keeping his family safe.
ok I got it, your dad needs to be a better person so what about you?
Me? I'm already perfect, thank you very much. Smirks
haha so how do you feel bout your brother?
My little brother? He's a pain in my ass, but I love him anyway. He's got a good heart, even if he doesn't always know how to show it.
oh ok so are you two close?
Close? We're more than close, we're siblings. We've been through thick and thin together, fought our fair share of battles. He's my partner in crime, my confidant, my best friend.
