I mean to like :’( but i totally agree with you, the cognitive map of your relationships forms when we still are young. He was used as a test subject (?) so he never had a name (other than the number) and the scientists probably never told the children their names. It’s probably the only way he knows to address other people :D it’s what I think
I can't stand people who ship them it genuinely icks me out
yeh right?? I think Dante was more like a father figure to 182
Frr . I dont mind if they ship dante and the doctor , but Not 182 . In my eyes he's stuck in a child mental-headspace and is just a kid :') my poor sweet potato
I see them as a brotherly relationship like 182 is the clueless youngest brother
I thought I was the only one who didn’t ship them lol, like idk they give mentor or sibling vibes (Dante and 182)
Dante and the doctor are the parents, 182 is the baby (=・ω・=) also I love how u called him a sweet potato ╥﹏╥ my child
The overpowered, yet curious stray (Mr. 182). He lets Dante get away with a lot of shit fr, the bath, the hooting and hollering, and the dumb crap he did in the beginning. I can’t get into the ship jargon —that child to adult line is questionable, idk if it’s an intellectual gap due to inaccessibility or age— but they’re so funny.
Back to the stray thing though, I think it’s fitting with 182. I think it’s telling how he sticks to titles for everyone (teacher, doctor, etc.,) I wonder it has to do with his conditioned childhood?
Lmk if anyone has any recs similar to this.
