To quote a Breaking Bad reviewer here “If you thought that the […] thing was unearned what would you prefer..?”
I feel like it’s safe to say that both the dialogue and his actions point in the direction towards someone who needed to be cut off, that being a biological father doesn’t make him one by virtue.
But after all this time and he was absent prior to the timeline we see in the show I’m not denying this, he still intervenes in the battle, we have a moment of reconciliation, and he has faith in his kid which is worth more than golden promises of chavier and fountains of champagne.
I don’t know how to talk to him, and it feels like he doesn’t talk to me. Stolas on the other foot is, despite all his faults as present a parent as one could be in his situation, and often times if not recently his reason for not being there for her literally amounts to an act of God.
…with lack luster connections. A little empathy not for them as characters, but viewers who wish they had dads who cared at all. Because I remember when I first saw Loo Loo Land I cried because my Dad didn’t sing me songs he read me books and it feels I only have one of those memories left anyway.
The short answer is that they are lacking as dads, but for shows about relationships and redemption, which already has clear instances of abuse to contrast with the way they’re written as characters I feel like we try to flatten stories when we leave no room for growth for characters in fiction.
Last month a video was published about a queer reading of Griffith from Berserk that’s had a few detractors, & right now I’m seeing a comment thread about how Alastor’s constant battle with racism is no more than mere fan fuel and as a potential story it takes away from the evil he could represent.

I can’t not feel like this is straight up defaulting to heteronormativity in a way, even when lesbians in animation are fully represented onscreen there seems to be people working to ignore textual clues or throw out the possibility for a journey to show us what that could look like for them.
(ADHD) During the bookend of season three Asami took the role of her caretaker and when Korra cut herself off the world except for Asami who was the only person she would write bringing her and her closer together, until they eventually realized they had genuine feelings for each other.
Korra and Asami - The Lengend of Korra Korra is the protagonist of the series more or less of the same name and the second Avatar to be confirmed as bisexual. She’s in a bi-for bi couple with her now girlfriend Asami. In the comics Korra says she’s the only person who wasn’t overwhelmed by her.
Also the two represent a very significant dynamic seen across Yuri and BL manga when two characters of opposing hair colors attract one another. With all that in mind I’d say they might as well be gay.
Ash Lynx & Eiji Okumura - Banana Fish I almost wasn’t sure about this entry with the question of how much queer representation is it..? But according to astr0nomical during Ash’s number the background in the manga has drawings of pots or okama-basically Japanese shorthand for a flamboyant gay man.
After meeting the Tenth Doctor she fell in love with a human woman: Jenny Flint. They’ve since married and make up two out of the three members of The Paternoster Gang. A group of Paranormal Investigators in Victorian London.
Madame Vastra and Jenny Flint - Doctor Who Will these ladies be the last sword lesbians on my agenda…? Only time will tell. Vastra is a Silurian; a race of lizard people who used to live alongside the dinosaurs and inhabit the subterranean earth.
Husk and Angel Dust - Hazbin Hotel Husk is the pansexual bar cat, and Angel is the loud mouthed and vulgar stripper respectively of the cast. They haven’t been established yet but so far the sparks have started to fly and Angel Dust seems pretty smitten for the old kitty cat.
And with her story colliding with Ivy’s often over time it lead them to becoming a something between villain to anti-hero to heroic romantic couple depending on the continuity.
Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy - DC Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are the bombastic bi for bi pairing of the DC Universe. Originally created to be the Joker’s girlfriend creator/ co-creator Paul Dini stated that the character was intended to be bisexual from the get-go.
It seems that with his invitation to Princess Prom (and general flirtatiousness) that they once had a relationship and Sea Hawk still harbors feelings for her. At the end of the series they have rekindled their bond and are now both officially together!
Mermista & Sea Hawk - Shera and The Princesses of Power Mermista and Seahawk are a bi for bi couple from another reimagined universe. Mermista is the ruler of Salineas and member of The Princess Alliance, whereas her boyfriend Sea Hawk is a swashbuckler with a strong passion for burning boats.
Madeleine is now instead a dress maker and it’s her handiwork that Claudia dons. Eventually they start a friendship and after Claudia saves her from a violent sexual assault she pleads Louis to turn her into a vampire as well; finally giving her a companion of her own.
Claudia and Madeleine - Interview With The Vampire Claudia and Madeleine are the tragic lovers of season two of AMC’s adaptation of IWTV. With Claudia now aged up significantly to her book counterpart, it seemed outlandish to give her a mother figure who made the same doll over and over again.
They have a “charged” but very tender love affair and are now completely open to the public about the true nature of their romantic relationship!
Ozzie and Fizzarolli - Helluva Boss Fizz is a gay imp and a disabled amputee. He’s also a famous clown/entertainer and currently in love with Asmodeus as referred to as Ozzie; the embodiment of Lust.
While Striga is a armor clad dyed in the wool soldier. And did I mention they both live at the end of the show…?
Morana and Striga - Castlevania Morana and Striga are a lesbian vampire couple and are both members of the Council of Sisters. Together the four women ruled over Styria. Morana is an ancient vampire from Sumer who handles the economic logistics of their evil plans.
Way back when she, her & a boy were in a triangular configuration Shiori took the boy for herself, only to realize later that the photo in Juri’s locket had been her all along and used that to hurt Juri even more. Though they seem to be a better situation at the end the film tells a different story.
Juri Arisugawa from Revolutionary Girl Utena Our third and probably not last sword lesbian is Juri from Utena. She’s the Captain of Ohtori Academy’s Fencing and a duelist in The Student Council. Her unrequited love interest is Shiori Takatsuki.
