Diavolo’s bday special story made me feel too much...
Anyway, i just want to talk about it a little.
The whole thing with jealousy gave me a few thoughts.
It made me think just how actually lonely Diavolo is. He is thrilled by the idea of someone being jealous of him to the point of not wanting to "share" him with anyone.
He wants to be wanted, loved, cherished; he wants his lover to put him in priority, to think about him every spare second, to want to spend the time with him and only with him.
He wants to belong only to his lover and not to the whole kingdom, especially on his birthday.
That's basically what the whole story was about and you can't change my mind.
And that conflict again. When his desires run counter to the reality that he has to endure.
He says: with you I feel like a regular demon. Please, treat me as regular demon. Please, see me as regular demon and not as future king.
He rejects his identity as the future king so much, but at the same time, he is always the first to raise the issue of his kingdom and his responsibilities. It's like he has to constantly remind himself that he IS a future king and he HAS responsibilities.
He says: I love you more than anything. Yet my first priority will always be my kingdom, which takes away from us the opportunity to spend time together, make a family and live happily.
He says: I can't just throw my position and responsibilities away. Even though I so wish to do it if it means I'll get to have you.
In the end he says that he wants us to be the first to celebrate his birthday with, and not as future king, but the one you love the most, you beloved demon.
«Please give me the opportunity to start my birthday as if there is no kingdom, as if I'm an ordinary demon who simply basks in the love of the person he loves most in the world and whom he doesn't want to let go.»

Anyway, I'm probably thinking too much, and it's not that deep. But Diavolo and his Internal conflicts bring me to tears.
That's ^ a very good shit though, thank you, I melted.
