OMG THIS!!! I often think abt this cause it's literally one os the saddest things ever and it kills me inside every time I think about it
imagine him having to learn basically everything from the internet, cause he probably was the most chronically online person ever, and this is just depressing
and we know how shitty the internet is so just imagine all the stuff he probably came across at such a young age and had no one to come and explain things better or just help him avoid some sort of things
idk, maybe the internet thing is not that big of a deal but as someone who grew up incredibly unsupervised online this messed up my head in so many ways this fact is always stuck in my head
Tenko spent most of his life in isolation without anyone to be affectionate towards and feel affection from. He was five when he got took in by afo and twenty/twenty one when he got the league together. THATS STILL AROUND FIFTEEN YEARS OF BEING ALONE; and for what?!? Being a puppet for afo? Kill me. The majority of his life was probably spent silently longing for something, someone, because that’s what humans do!!!! They crave connection, communication, a community. He got none of that until he was already an adult, skipping his childhood, a very important part for human development. I couldn’t imagine ANYONE who would spent at least one year mostly alone and turn out fine. I know this is talked about a lot already but I want to keep talking about it. no friends or family to simply be around, no one to teach him about the simple things of life, he had to go through so many phases alone; and sure maybe he had an online friend or two, but there’s only so much closure you can get through a screen. how many times do you think this boy has been told ‘I love you’ or ‘I’m proud of you’ GENUINELY. This hits a little too close to home for me and I just wanted to yap about it. I’d love to hear any other thoughts as well :)!
