As a transfem. Before I was open, I would sometimes have cis woman friends say "i hate all men talking about their issues, all of them should just die, oh but not you, you are different"

And let me tell you. They made it scarier to come out, to transition. And didn't feel safe. Cause then its like I'm walking a tightrope where I've seen men and women do terrible things and if I step out of line they might want to kill me for my existence. And that too far out of line might be transition, might be how I've been a csa victim of multiple cis women and being open.

Men-hating women aren't feminists, they just hate people for an unchosen trait. And saying people are inherently evil, excuses evil actions.

Simon's mother was very tactile in her love. Hugs and kisses every chance she got, she used to spin him around and tell him how handsome he was, then she's laugh and ruffle his hair..

Ghost is very touch adverse. He avoids most people, even for a simple fistbump or pat on the back. He varely tolerated soap at first.

But soap's watched him longe enough, not in a weird way, just observing. Seen how he almost seems to panic when his soldiers are scared and hurt. Sees how he almost freezes up, then cradles them in his lap like it's instinct, like he's always meant to.

Ghost doesn't like touch, but the man beneath the mask, the one before The Ghost, maybe not so much

The characterization of Diavolo in season 3 of the og game was peak to me. I know his cards are pride, and thats definitely there to see, but he's soo envy-coded to me.

Throughout almost every interactation we have with him, it's about him wanting others positions. He wants the brothers as friends, he wants Lucifer especially, and he inserts himself into their lives to get a bit of their love for himself. When MC becomes a part of their family, Diavolo is jealous of both sides. He wants to be accepted as a part of their family like MC, and he wants MC to himself like the brothers seem to claim them. He wants, he wants, he wants.

Thats not to say Diavolo isn't a genuinely kind person! He goes out of his way to listen and help others, and he's a respected ruler for a reason. But a core aspect of his character is his desire to be someone else, he even makes a point to tell Belphie he's "a child who never gets to experience anything." All those stupid events and parties he railroads others into is his attempt to mimic what others are allowed to have. Being a prince isn't enough, he's always going to he envious of what others have that he doesn't.

Diavolo's envy is also what makes him a fantastic counterpoint to Levi. They BOTH spend their time wishing to be someone else, the difference is that while Levi gains more confidence alongside MC, Diavolo gets worse.

Diavolo, by the point of the og game, has accepted that he won't be a part of the brothers family. But then, MC goes and does just that. MC acomplishes what he's wanted and been envious of for millenia in just a year. He wants what their family has, and he's also envious of the brothers having MC to themselves. It's just an absolutely tragic dynamic, seeing as Diavolo is just unable to understand why they don't accept him. Diavolo just doesn't have the social graces to understand how MC was able to help the brothers, and how they had to suffer for it. All he's able to see is that the family he's yearned for, and the human he loves are intertwined in a way he doesn't know how to replicate.
