(TW: SA, violent homophobia) GROWING UP IN A RATHER STRICT HOUSEHOLD, SAN DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OPPORTUNITY TO REBEL. EXPECTED TO FOLLOW HIS FAMILY'S SET PLAN OF RAISING ONE DOCTOR AND ONE LAWYER, IT WAS A LONG TIME BEFORE SAN EVEN DEVELOPED HIS OWN INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF THE ACTIVITIES AND CHURCH HIS PARENTS REQUIRED. HE FOUND HE LOVED DRAWING AND DANCING, TWO THINGS THAT WERE DEEMED TOO "SOFT" FOR A MAN IN THEIR FAMILY. IT ONLY GOT WORSE WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS GAY. HE LIVED IN SECRET FOR OVER A YEAR BEFORE HE WAS CAUGHT WITH HIS BOYFRIEND in his room one afternoon, AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.

HIS PARENTS IMMEDIATELY ARRANGED AN "INTERVENTION" OF SORTS, sending him off to.a shady "camp" program owned by their church. turns out you can still get away with conversion therapy camps so long as they take place outside of the city. THIS CULMINATED INTO A MISERABLE RELATIONSHIP WITH A GIRL HIS PARENTS PICKED. WHEN IT WASN'T GOING WELL ENOUGH because HE STILL DISPLAYED "HOMOUAL TENDENCIES" (he never could do more than peck her lips before feeling violently ill ) HIS FAMILY SET UP A FORCED "COUPLING." THE GIRL WAS GETTING COMPENSATION SO SHE DIDN'T CARE, THOUGH SHE DID GIVE HIM A MOMENT TO HIMSELF TO GRIEVE AFTER FORCING HIM TO RELEASE IN HER. IT SEEMED A BABY WASN'T IN THE PLAN THOUGH, AND WAS A LITTLE TOO MUCH for EVEN FOR HER. SO SHE DUMPED THE KID ON HIM (STILL A KID HIMSELF) AND BAILED. HE REFUSED TO DO THE SAME THOUGH; he PACKED UP HIS DAUGHTER AND FINALLY LEFT ONCE AND FOR ALL. HIS FINAL PARTING GIFT WAS THE INHERITENCE HE WAS MOSTLY WRITTEN OUT OF BY HIS GRANDFATHER, BUT THANKS TO HIS SOFT HEARTED GRANDMA SHE SET ASIDE A SMALL SECRET PORTION FOR HIM AND HIS DAUGHTER. one thing he would do special for his daughter would be to draw little pictures for the stories he would tell her, doodle on her clothes, and make her personalized storybooks. eventually this progressed to him animating short little movies for her, which he loved. he posted the original works to twitter and tiktok, which boosted him into a moderate following and a job offer from a big animation studio.
