Apparently, somewhere between GOW 2018 and GOWR, Kratos got better at reading.

“Today. Today we will be better.”
So so many things to say about it, but this game is an absolutely fantastic adventure and Kratos is a great dad. 😤💞
i may have cried multiple times but we don’t talk about that
For the sake of our children, we must be better.
can't get a post-ragnarok semi-crack fic idea outta my head like--
The serious bit: Atreus leaves to fulfill/make his destiny, find the giants and explore new worlds...but he keeps coming back for visits, of course! And every time he does, there's something changed. Kratos, Freya and Mimir have beaten the berserkers and cleaned up the remains of Asgard. they've beaten Gna. Kratos is as calm as ever, but his father has a new sense of purpose Atreus can't quite reconcile or put his finger on.
Kratos has begun to be renowned in the Norse world. the true all-father, the man who lead the united forces of ragnarok to defeat the scheming odin. the god who spared when he could have smote. the god who looks after sons and daughters and wives and husbands, who stays the hand that would harm the wounded for the sake of harming them. people begin to build alters to the god of war, who knows mercy as well as he knows violence. they leave offerings. they pray in his name. they look for his guidance before they look for his wrath.
Atreus is so, so proud of his father. Kratos tells him there are ways to live on after death, even--or especially--for a god. To make memories and impart lessons that those who outlive you look back on fondly is to be immortal in the one way that truly matters.
the funny bit: Atreus also realizes that his father is a god-magnet. no matter how far he travels, word of the ghost of Sparta precedes him. now, though, there's talk of the new god of war in the Norse lands, who is making a big splash. the remains of Greece have been rebuilding and, hearing the tales of this new god, have surprisingly set out to treat with the norsemen who follow a god so strangely familiar to their own. even gods from lands to the far east and west know of Kratos. now, though, there is a mix of old fear and new awe when Atreus reveals their relation to other gods. they...kinda want to meet this god.
cue Atreus leaving different lands to visit home only to find more and more gods taking tea with Freya in his father's newly grown garden, speaking with Mimir about philosophy in his father's warm, fire lit kitchen, watching on the sidelines as Kratos wields his ax to...just chop firewood. these gods are invading their home, taking up space and his father's precious time! they vie for his attention like lovesick puppies, trying to gain the wisdom--and perhaps...favor?--of Kratos. This, of course, is unacceptable. Nobody but Atreus seems to think so, though...
TLDR: Kratos is a god-magnet post-ragnarok, visiting gods are smitten, and Atreus must protect his father's honor!
MFW no one replaces the toilet paper roll.
someone in my raid group mentioned Dad Kratos at a themepark and I couldn't not draw it
