So I noticed a few things about lucas's past behavior
All I wanted was to get good grades and graduate with a good grade-point average so I could get into a decent college. I was already showing solid A's in Running Start during 11th grade. For a long time I excelled in school and did well at the college level (Running Start). I was often in the top of my percentile.
Clearly this 'I was on the honor roll' stuff is the kind of bragging and 'look at me i'm smart and important' behavior had been going on for a very long time. Its one of the ways he tries to manipulate people into taking him seriously. That said, if he was getting solid A's in a college prep program and 'excelling in school at the top of his percentile' as he claims then how exactly is it he 'didn't quite have all the credits he needed to graduate' as pointed out in his 2010 reflections? He outed his own lie pretty blatantly
My mental capacity was fairly limited to getting good grades and fawning over girls like a buffoon. I didn't know how to ask for help in this area. It seemed to come so naturally to even my little brother. I would make fun of him for having trouble spelling or doing poor in school because he fared much better in the social scenes. In a way, Seth taught me how to behave around other kids and he quickly realized when he allowed me into his world, I would stop making fun of him in the areas he was struggling with for some reason and he was able to focus on school much better, over time.
Proto-wern behavior at its finest. Lucas admits to using manipulative, intimidation tactics to get what he wants -
give me what I want and i'll stop being abusive toward you is the same kind of behavior that led him to his blackmail attempt at his previous fartbox
That said, has anyone else noticed how odd his claims of being poor and starving in his cyril days really are? I mean he was working at mcdonalds, must have been making at least minimum wage and by his own admission only paid 1/3 of the rent. He implies this is about $400 saying this is what he needed to scam out of some woman on the internet to pay his part of the rent. So he pays $400 a month in rent and yet is somehow starving, eating ramen at best and resorting to stealing food to keep from starving? Even by lucas standards thats a weird thing to say. He's an absolute pig when it comes to food but its not like he had any other major expenses. He's outing himself as either an absolute gluttonous pig who can't stop compulsively eating or an obvious liar. Not that i'd be surprised by that kind of eating in his case, it is the way myrna taught him to deal with stress and things not going his way. Makes me wonder if he was taking alot of shit from cyril and his gf over his behavior and such at the time that made him wig out on food to deal with it. Which brings up another point - why exactly did he need to scam the $400 in the first place? Did he eat all of it and realize he couldn't pay his rent? Or sneak off and spend his rent money on alcohol and weed? Its not like this could be a case of working part time causing all these money issues as even part time he'd be making more than enough to cover the rent and food, if not much else for the month. Though the idea of lucas working like one shift a week and then claiming he's being worked to death and needs drugs to unwind from his day certainly sounds like something he would do, and then twist it around in his head and justify it with his claim that cyril was taking his rent money and spending it on food to gorge himself instead of paying rent. I still don't understand how he got that into his head, I mean if he did that then where would the rent money be coming from? Does lucas really think cyril would pay 2/3 of the rent himself just so he can gorge himself in front of lucas and rub eating alot in his face? Its bizarre and shows how little lucas actually thought about what he was saying and how twisted his thought process is
That said, he admits to stealing shit multiple times in his reflections, and lucas being lucas, for every time he admits something he thinks is minor bad behavior you can be sure he did a shit ton of worse things he won't talk about and thinks he got away with
and then I got to thinking about why king roy appears to want absolutely nothing at all to do with him. I mean during the recorded history of wernology its been almost exclusively myrna or larry that has any contact with him at all, barring the occasional slapfight argument with one of his brothers. and then I noticed this:
I mean think about that for a minute. He's ranting about the bible and going an about eating crawfish with his dad as a comment to some bizarre meme about how eating crawfish and being gay are sins, as if the gay stuff is somehow relevant to what he's saying....and he's posting said meme directly to king roys facebook timeline. So not only is he seeing it, so is everyone king roy knows
and he does it again. Only this time he is criticizing his parents for cheaping out on his birthday and christmas gifts for years and implying they left him on the street to die (while implying his beetus foot is their fault for leaving him on the street, lying about the fact that it is from the beetus). and not only that, he's posting his psycho pedo memes directly to king roys timeline. He is literally trying to engage in baiting underage girls, with free food on king roys timeline. He doesn't mention the 16 year old stuff directly on the meme but we all know what was on his weebly page that is linked on it at the time. Again, everyone on king roys facebook page would have seen this - his own literal deranged hobo son engaging in a greedy rant and trying to use his fathers facebook page to find 16 year old girls. Can you imagine the reaction king roy must have gotten when at least some people checked out that link to see what the fuck lucas was going on about? I bet king roy had some questions to answer and at least a few people were looking at him a little differently after that. Is it any surprise king roy wants nothing to do with lucas anymore? I wonder if anyone who read this on his timeline at the time saw the news report on the starbucks incident when it happened and realized it was king roys son and that he posted that shit a few years earlier. That would have made for an interesting conversation or two with him. Even king roy himself must have had an uh oh moment when he saw lucas on the news and heard what he had to say about the situation. Especially if he remembered lucas posting shit like this on his timeline
