Your gateway to endless inspiration
Do you guys remember that one scene between Diavolo and Barbatos?
The one where Dia, after cool epic fuckary, was like "be honest with me, what do you think of my behavior" and Barbatos, much like a robot gave the auto answer "I think your great" or like smth?
Idk where specifically it's from but it's one of my favorite moments between them because of all the relationship dynamic implications, like the way Diavolo looked after after the fact? The way Barbatos bairly hesitated to answer?
It makes me think about how many times they've had that exact exchange, how many times Diavolo could of came to Barbatos for some sort of reprimand or guidance for anything other than his public reputation and how many times he was probably shut down
Honestly, seeing things that way makes me understand more why Diavolo prefers Lucifer to Barbatos, like-
I feel like Barbatos is constantly lying to him? Like there's no way in hell Barbatos is always just.. on his side?
To date I think there's only been maybe 2 cases of Barbatos evenly slightly against Diavolo? And one of them doesn't even count cause he was just stonewalling him (the silent treatment but it's his job to respond)
So ya anyways, Barbatos is a bad mother sorry
(I'll make an actual headcannon post for my Diavolo Barbatos non-sexual/ parent-child relationship ideas uhh eventually if enough ppl care lol)
