thinking about how angels and demons treat their kids compared to humans, like-
was the demon kings neglect really extreme enough to be some form of abuse in actual demon society? Why is Luke expected to cook for Simeon and Solomon? Why is Luke treated so- weirdly??
For Diavolo, I think he was overselling his tragic childhood a bit- I'm your average Diavolo hater but I seriously do think he was just severely under socialized and if he was around other children and their parents he would realize that hey, my dad definitely has something against me but he's a pretty basic demon parent™️ (also he would resent his own species less frfr)
I say this because of the casual(?) way he treated that death trap his father called teaching in nightbringer, I like to imagine that he's actually grown since his comically lonely childhood and is able to rationalize it properly.
Anyways this post is actually mostly about Luke
so, I feel like Luke wouldn't understand what to do if you held your hand out to him, like I imagine angels don't really chaperone their youngest that directly,
(considering how much they put the little lad to work and how in nightbringer Luke took over the cooking entirely??? Like- immediately?)
so Luke wouldn't understand the very human desire to protect their stupid offspring in small ways,
human children are barely alive and will fully walk into the street if unsupervised, angel children will not.
If you were out in public with Luke and you're leaving a store and you do that silent stretching out your hand for them to take that parents do he would just stare at you like "why's your hand in my face 🤨" it would probably be real awkward
(Sorry for rambling I didn't sleep will probably delete this and rewrite it better tomorrow?)
