Graphic: Racism
Moderate: Child abuse, Abandonment, and Fatphobia
Minor: Death of parent and Emotional abuse
Two notes, the racism is fantasy!racism; the minority being discriminated against is magical beings but the reaction of the people, society, etc. all mirrors real-life bigotry. Also, the fatphobia is mostly internalized by Linus and insinuated in an off-screen doctor's appointment. His weight and "round shape" are commented on but Linus is the only one who views it negatively.
