ミBarbatos and Diavolo's relationship but also Luciferミ

Now that I think about it while also considering we now know that Diavolo was raised by Barbatos- it makes sense he "favors" Lucifer over Barbie (and says Lucifer is his most trusted something or another)

It also explains why Barbie doesn't outwardly seem upset by it even in the most subbest of subtext, I mean.- if I had a loser son like Diavolo I'd be pretty hyped for him making a single (1) friend >>

Anyways.

Barbatos is just his dad, and yes the word *just* feels insulting but it's true. (Assuming you have friends) you'd know that often times they become a main focus for us over our family, especially as we age and create an identity for ourselves. Family- and most importantly parents in this case, tend to take a backseat to lovers and your closest friend(s).

And it's not necessarily a bad thing! A parent- In a healthy best case scenario, takes the role as someone you can fall back on, someone who is there for you and can provide paternal comfort- and this is exactly the role Barbatos is beginning to take in Diavolo's life as he becomes the next demon king! Diavolo can absolutely not be dependent on Barbie forever, he has to fully grow up one day, and therefore NEEDS to find other people who he can be dependent on in a hopefully healthy way, ie. His right hand man, Lucifer.

(And MC and Levi but fuck those two).

Yes, in some nightmare timeline if Diavolo had to choose between one living and one dying for any reason he'd pick Barbatos. Obviously.

So, tldr; Barbatos is Diavolo's dad, Lucifer is his by proximity best friend and Diavolo is- while oh so excruciatingly slowly- growing as a person and we should follow Barbatos' lead and encourage our baby boy.

And ya, okay maybe it took Diavolo a few more million years than a normal child and also he isn't a child but hey! It worked out I think >:) ;;

Lesson 15-A

Basically Barbatos tells his version of events, how he became the Diavolo's Buttler

I knew he was young when they meet but I didn't think he was THAT young.. he was a child... That's really adorable 🥺🥺

Don't get me wrong, I know what Diavolo did was Bad but when Barbatos was basically the only person who gave him a little of His company when he was so Lonely as a child, I get It... I personally don't agree with the theories that say that Barbatos Is resentful about this whole arrangement, really, much less when I read this lesson...

these two are basically family, I love them so much, the way Barbatos talks about Diavolo makes my heart melt

Anyways, Barbatos *probably* told Thirteen why he's so mad at Solomon, really, I want to know too.....

(Also, Thirteen's favorite cakes are chocolate and strawberry, very important fact actually 💞)
