Character fathers! (cw: some of them suck)
Flash Bastard
Shinji was an orphan by age three, don't ask him.
Flash Bastard
Naoki comes by his inability to grieve honestly.
Flash Bastard
He still thinks his dad and Saki would've benefited from actually discussing why she took a job at Junes, but they never did. His dad also has a bad habit of leaving dead family members on the store till.
Flash Bastard
(And then wigs out when someone inevitably hits the wrong button on accident.)
Flash Bastard
Claudia, off in Headcanonlandia, had hippie parents and her father didn't know when he was too tired to drive.
Flash Bastard
I put this in place well before the show a. dropped Claire on me and b. said 'lol An Artifact Did It,' because sometimes bad things just HAPPEN, show.
Flash Bastard
Kanji's dad died in the hospital when Kanji was 10 or so, leaving his kid with a fear of hospitals and messed-up views of masculinity.
Flash Bastard
He would be much more upset about accidentally doing the latter to Kanji than the former. PTSD is what it is, but he was as much into the crafty shit as Ma Tatsumi. CRAFTY SHIT IS NOT UNMANLY.
saku 🌠
an artifact did it?
Flash Bastard
(I'll explain that when I finish the character run.)
Flash Bastard
I headcanon that 'Kan-chan' was a Kanji's Dad Thing, which is why he gets so upset about anyone else using it.
Flash Bastard
Yusuke... is one of the sucky ones. He doesn't remember his biodad, and Madarame pretty much only raised him because he saw someone he could exploit.

When Your Father Figure Is Responsible For Your Mom's Negligent Homicide
Flash Bastard
Crowley arguably has the same father as he does mother, so it's just as Complicated.
Flash Bastard
Neriel: Same first hat, less Complicated. She still trusts that God knows what She's doing and hasn't felt the need to make Her share with the rest of the class.
Flash Bastard
(It wasn't asking questions that was the problem. It was demanding answers.)

With Yusuke tbh I have to wonder if that's why he has a particular fondness for Sojiro. Not precisely a father figure but Hey! An adult man who isn't an asshole!
Flash Bastard
Arachne's father is an incompetent narcissist. (Look, there's a reason Hell wanted Thaddeus raising the Antichrist.)
Flash Bastard
The closest thing she has to a dad figure is Aziraphale, which is one of the reasons she believes the well-adjusted cishet man to be a myth. Even if Aziraphale were a cis man, Hetero He Is Not.
Flash Bastard
Still, at least she had a frame of reference for fairly non-toxic masculinity, if she'd needed it.
Flash Bastard
Regulus... well, what we have about Orion Black in canon is a name, birth and death dates if you want to take Jo's word for it, and the fact that at minimum he enabled Walburga's abuse of her children by not throwing her the fuck out.
Flash Bastard
At worst, he was involved in the abuse, but I don't tend to go for 'worst.'
Flash Bastard
I go for 'definitely regrets his life choices, especially re: Sirius.' Whether he ever gets a chance to say so is up in the air to unlikely.
Flash Bastard
Also he's as gay as his elder son is, and figured if he lacked all interest he might as well spare everyone else the worst of the lot. Speaking of decisions he mostly regrets. The kids were a good outcome, at least.
Flash Bastard
saku 🌠 Warehouse 13 decided Claudia needed an entire second sibling AT THE END OF SEASON 4.
Flash Bastard
And to explain why she'd never been mentioned before, they went 'uhhhhhhhhh she's still Artifact-whammied and we can't fix it, and while affected by this thing she accidentally killed your parents.'
Flash Bastard
I like Claire as a character, but I tend to play Claudia like Claire isn't a thing, because WHEN I STARTED, SHE WASN'T.
Flash Bastard
The show also had a tendency to take what could've been a normal tragedy and backtrack to 'well ACTUALLY a supernatural tchotchke was involved!!!' which... I don't like so much.
saku 🌠
...yeah
Flash Bastard
pastel ranma Very possible!
pastel ranma
At least I think it says something that he trusts the Sayuri to Sojiro's care.
Flash Bastard
It really does.
Flash Bastard
Oh right Hifumi is very much a daddy's girl. She loves her dad A Lot.
