black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.

bruce: how’d you get your scar?

zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.

J: "wan na kno w h ow i go t thes e sc ar s"

Iroh: you too must learn patience. Boiling the water ruins the delicate flavor of the white jade

Alfred: oh I'm dreadfully sorry - for some reason I expected this tea to have TEA in it

(later)

Alfred: *aggressively laying out full tea service with milk, lemon, sugar, and, just to drive his point in, jam*

while Zuko is enthusiastic about cream and sugar

Origin story

They have no kings, no gods, and no laws beyond what's fair and what's funny. They will respect you in their own way, but only on their own terms.

You cannot shame a clown in any way that matters.

You cannot silence the clowns in any way that matters.

The only way to offend a clown is to try to silence them.

between friends has become a

cultural icon.

People always reduce him to either "emotionally unavailable cool guy" or "instantly perfect domestic husband" and both miss the point.

Because canon kakashi is neither.

This is a man whose entire nervous system has basically been shaped by:

▫️ catastrophic loss

▫️ survivor’s guilt

▫️ hypervigilance

▫️ emotional repression as a coping mechanism

▫️ profound caregiving instincts disguised as dry sarcasm

But underneath?

He is also a deeply caring, kind-hearted, quietly attentive man.

So father Kakashi? He would be DEVASTATING in a very Kakashi way.

He won't be be loud "anime sunshine" dad.

But he would absolutely be:

- the kind who notices the baby’s breathing changed before anyone else does.

- the kind who insists he’s fine while running on 2 hours of sleep because his wife is exhausted.

- the kind who absolutely says "go sleep. i’ve got it." while holding a baby at 3 AM like it’s simultaneously the most precious and terrifying thing he’s ever encountered.

And if the baby grabs his finger?

He’s done.

Emotionally deceased.

Kakashi.exe has left the room.

ALSO:

If his child chooses ninja life?

OH BOY 🤣 THEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT.

Because imagine this: After mission

child:

"MOM, DAD TRIED TO KILL ME."

mom: slowly turns to look at Kakashi

Kakashi:

😐😊

child:

"HE MADE ME DISARM A TRAP FIELD."

Kakashi:

"Supervised." 😐

child:

"HE RELEASED DOGS AFTER ME."

mom:

"KAKASHI?"

Kakashi:

"Ninken. Friendly ninken." 😐

child:

"ONE OF THEM STOLE MY LUNCH."

Kakashi:

"Resource retention exercise." 😐

child:

"HE SENT A CLONE OF HIMSELF TO HUNT ME THROUGH THE FOREST."

mom:

"HE DID WHAT?"

kakashi:

"Tracking exercise." 😐

child:

"I WAS BURIED."

mom:

"EXCUSE ME?"

child:

"UP TO MY NECK."

Kakashi:

"Sensory awareness training" 😐

child:

"I SAW MY LIFE FLASH BEFORE MY EYES."

kakashi:

"That seems exaggerated."😐

child:

"I’M TWELWE."

kakashi:

visible eye crinkle

"…And yet you survived." 😐

child:

"MOM."

mom:

"Your father will apologise."

kakashi:

tiny pause.

"I can buy you Ramen?" 😊🤍

But jokes aside, here’s the thing:

He would NEVER recreate the emotional damage he grew up with.

He knows what pressure without warmth does.

He knows what abandonment feels like.

He knows what losing people feels like.

So yes, he’d push. He teaches survival after all.

But he’d adapt, he’d watch, he’d care.

And his child would absolutely grow up knowing dad is weirdly terrifying but is always THERE when they need him.

Also toddler phase???

tiny silver-haired chaos goblin wearing a little mask because "dad wears one"?

Absolutely adorable.

And i brough evidence below. Whoever that art belongs to, did a terrifying job.

And soft-eyed dad Kakashi? 😌❤️

Ah, yes...

Goodnight.
