Description
This is Conrad when he was like in his early/mid teens.Conrad was constantly treated for a cocktail of psychological issues that may or may not have really been there to begin with. But after being told that he suffered them time and time again, he started developing real ones.
His mother was convinced that Conrad was a wreck, and as Conrad got older, so did he. It wasn't long until Conrad was completely alienated from every kid his age as he suddenly didn't trust himself around anybody.
Ms Achenleck truly believed that Conrad was harmful to society, a budding sociopath and god knows what else. She was only doing what was right.
Conrad is from Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name!
PS: This isn't a statement on modern treatment or psychologists, it is simply a single scenario. :]
PPSSSSSS: I have no idea where i got that pattern BUT IT'S AWESOME and not mine and whoever created it I love you. Feel my love burn from afar.

You know, I think vampires are totally lame. I've never liked them.
But I love Conrad. He's like my favorite.
I guess he's still kinda lame, though.
ANYWAY THIS IS REALLY CUTE ALGKAS;LGBKO

It's okay, Conrad, you grow up to be hot.
That automatically makes any psychological problems null.

This isn't the session where Conrad's mother tried to convince his psychologist that he had "hysterical pregnancy"?

I remember those days...Strong ADHD meds mixed with strong Bi-Polar meds actually made me flip out and become bipolar (not to mention extremely violent). My mom got sick of it, flushed all my meds down the toilet, and then...I calmed down and learned how to fit in with normal society. Imagine that.
Anyway. I feel for Conrad, I really do. Poor little bugger, I wanna hug him and tell him he's not crazy. His mum, however...

. . .a budding sociopath? Conrad? Seriously? Really?
. . .I keeping thinking of him as the Vampire Who Failed, and somehow I just don't see it. xD (But then I think on his arguments with Doc (and Hanna), and suddenly it's a little clearer. xD ) I feel bad for him, though, since it's seeming he's always been that whackadoodle, but that does add to his charm.
Love the pic, and agreeing on that pattern being love. <3

Poor Conrad! He's so adorable when he's anxious. It explains a lot about why he keeps people at a distance now.
I work for a psychiatrist and, yeah, that sort of thing does happen, sadly. Generally in those cases it's the parent that really needs treatment, but they're convinced it's all the kids fault and refuse to get help for themselves. Or they are getting help and it's just not enough. We do the best we can with them and try to get them to go to therapy.

Such wonderful background! It's such an ironic shoot-yourself-in-the-foot situation. Develop anxiety disorders by worrying about them developing? Poor, poor Conrad. He needs to see my psychologist.

BlueSaved [2010-01-06 02:09:49 +0000 UTC]
Yeah... I can see why he snaps at people. You'd think his past would give him an edge as a Vampire, but its interesting that it has the opposite effect. He cares too much about what people think of him and therefore doesn't want to do anything negative, as opposed to not caring about what the world thinks after his mother wrongfully passed judgement on him.
No wonder he isn't too crazy about older women and people touching him.

hahah I LOVE YOU TESSA. Because you're so funny. And adorable. And my hero. All in one. But anyways this is fantastic! I really love how younger!Conrad looks here ;; all terrified and nervous and it's kinda sad/funny that all that BS about him being a wreck, actually DID make him a wreck.
OH WHAT A WORLD WHAT A WORLD. But anywho i seriously love how this is done, as I said before. You're like...supermastergod of awesome poses, even suttle ones like a Conrrad sitting on a chair looking so tense and worried. And I really love his hand there for some reason and how ratty his hair is XD so cute! Nrgg i want that patteerrnnn

Great idea with this characters as they appeared before the story series. It's interesting.

Luna-Kitsune-Blu [2010-01-06 00:08:43 +0000 UTC]
Every new piece involving Conrad just makes me love him harder. I think this just tipped him right to the 'my favorite character' spot.
No telling if he's gonna stay there, though--all of your characters are far too freaking endearing for their own good.
I love his expression here. "Oh god, Oh Christ, Oh god." No wonder he's such a cranky pants when he gets older. Good looking cranky-pants, but all the same.
I wanna give him a huuuug.
