the most frightening thing about Father is the fact that there are moments where he makes me think that maybe he actually has a tiny bit of kindness in his heart.. taking yukine out to eat, taking care of mizuchi, referring to yato as his son, showing affection like an actual parent,,,, but then the next panel he just goes “I’m gonna commit mass murder using this 14 year old boy” and i’m like oh
1.futher reenforcing the idea that hes the only one that really “cares” about him
2. Keeping her happy enough so she remains submisive to him, instead of trying to run off like yato did
3. Making sure Yato ultimately knows his place even if he technically “let” him leave
He is never “acting like an actual parent”. He is a *master* manipulator, and “acting like an actual parent then turning around and using you for mass murder” is his second favorite abuse tactic right behind “hurting someone you care about to hurt you”
I was obviously talking about his abusive behaviour and the facade he puts up for yato/hiiro/yukine, hence the reason why I said he “shows affection like an actual parent” because it’s literally absurd how quick he switches between ‘loving’ and genocidal….. never said he acted like an actual parent in a sense where i’m praising him whatsoever
I didnt think that you were praising him, i thought we were just discussing his behaviors as well. I was really agreeing with you, with how terrifying that is in how it relates to him as a character as well abusive people in real life. I dont know how it came off to you but i apologize if it was rude
