It still haunts me. You can "feel" evil. Or I'm just an idiot who overthinks things.
This is one of my favorite "early years" photos. And no, you are not overthinking it at all. She looks like she was caught in the act moments before she was about to smother the little one.
Almost all of the elements of modern day Chantal are on display; this is a very close prototype to what we actually got. Fat? Check. Awkward? Check, Ugliest person in the frame? Check. Crazed look in the eye? Check. Smug smirk? Check. Disturbing? Check Sloppy? Check The only difference here is that she still technically was under the care of adults, and so none of her defining traits had quite crossed over into runaway trainland yet. But all of them are getting there at once, right down to the bald patch.
The sister's facial expression, in juxtaposition, almost looks like the epitome of innocent little angelic child straight from Central Casting. Which makes Clotsus Erectus look even more demonic and malevolent.
It is worth remembering the backstory, if anyone out here is new or never watched Toad's documentary. Nat is Chantal's
half-sister. Chantal was the product of a teenage pregnancy, her daddy left before she could know him, mom sent her away to grandma's to live, and Proto-Foodie (who I am guessing was spoiled and never disciplined by grandma) developed her psychoses.
Mama remarried (successfully; I believe she has been with Chantal's stepdad for more than twenty five years, since Nat is 24-ish) and Chantal moved back home. Instead of the only child, she was now the interloper; Mom + New Dad + Nat was the nuclear family, and she was a remnant of a failed prior one. Can you imagine the resentment Chantal must have felt at her adorable, cute little baby half-sister? And from Nat's perspective, I imagine having a gigantic brutus of a half-sister coming in and bullying her out of her cartoons and seat on the sofa would be fearsome at times.
This pic? Heheh, she wants to strangle the little golden child.
