you know i really love how we got that first look at Abel and we all collectively agreed that Adam would totally have shitty soccer dad energy where he has no idea how to raise a kid but he's rooting for him nonetheless
He’s a good dad at heart, he’s awful showing it, but he’s a good dad.
I also hc Adam as the type to show it in his actions than words. I can see Abel knowing this so everytime Adam says something stupid he knows deep inside he means something else. And then, he turns his back after Adam told him to fuck off in front of his exorcist to look cool, looks back and sees his dad waving him goodbye with a warm smile while his exorcist are facing the other way.
Abel lost his bells? Adam tells him to stop being a pussy about it and that bells are lame, then suddenly, Abel returns to his room that evening and finds a new pair of bells on his bed and a note set beside them saying: ‘for you to stop whining about it, poser.
—your awesome motherfuckin Dad ’
No one comes to Abel’s first solo performance? There was his dad sitting in the back seats claiming he didn’t want to miss seeing him fail while eating popcorn, then texting on his phone and posting a ‘who’s willing to blow me while I watch my kid preform’ and suddenly the whole room was packed.
Abel’s first date didn’t show up? Adam grabbed an very uncomfortable but flattered Abel to the training fields and presented his exorcist, one by one they introduced themselves after Adam tells his son proudly “pick your whore.”
First fight? Adam cheers on Cain but secretly cleans up Abel’s wounds while nagging at him to fight better.
A sick Abel? Genuinely just taking care of him while bitching about it.
