Hi. ,….tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Skdnsjd omg thank you for making that meta post!! No but Izaya is so fun to talk about and I could read analyses on him all day. And his childhood is fun to think about, like he's so adamant that his childhood was normal and his parents were ordinary that he repeats it several times throughout the series, but then talks about how he raised his toddler sisters by himself and his parents would leave them for years at a time. Idk if it's denial or if he genuinely believes everything was fine because his parents still worried about him, just from afar. Like as physically far away as they could be from him.
But then I realized that the only other parental figure he had to compare his parents to was Shingen. So really, no wonder he thinks his parents are normal. Everyone needs therapy.
