I COULD HONESTLY TALK ABOUT AOBA ALL DAY HE IS SUCH A MISGUIDED CHILD AND HE WANTS TO BELIEVE THAT BEING A MISANTHROPE IS CONVENIENT FOR HIM BECAUSE PEOPLE have done nothing but abuse and neglect him but regardless of what he attempts to convince him he DOES care for others and he denies that so vehemently and tries to go on these power rushes as a means of placating himself, Aoba hates people as a whole but he also genuinely hates himself and the huge distinction between him and Izaya that even Izaya picks up on is that there’s still hope for Aoba and he’s still capable of doing good for others and he’s such a manipulative and deceitful child yet he’s also so BRUTALLY HONEST?? IT’S ACTUALLY PLAYED FOR LAUGHS TOO AND I LOVE AOBA you’ve come to the right place

Vorona and Akane are also my darlings
