i think a lot about the attack dog gioris dynamic but how do you think risotto would react if giorno said something like "good boy" to risotto after a kill? i like to think he gets really embarrassed about it and tells giorno to shut up because he's a grown man and not a boy but secretly enjoys a little of that dehumanizing aspect.... anyway
OKAY SO I think he would kind of definitely be Of Two Minds about it because YEAH he kind of has made the 'dog' parallel (in fandom?) several times and it just sort of osmosed into the fandom space that Risotto's Team = Chained and Leashed Dogs and therefore Risotto is Dog. But okay GIORNO (at least my version) has emphasized on a couple of occasions that he doesn't WANT Risotto to see himself that way, "You're not a monster, you're a man" etc but if he happened to SAY 'good boy' or 'good dog' or even not push back if Risotto said it about himself then I think Risotto would kind of secretly like it just a little.
I also think Risotto would just like to be praised more, in general. Pat him on the head, give him a biscuit, tell him he's done a good job.
SO YEAH.
