Heads up: this show has a lot of sexual humor and scenarios, as well as cartoony graphic violence and swearing.

He is SUPER protective, both physically - he will fight people bothering you, no questions asked -

… and emotionally; he frequently checks in on you after uncomfortable events to see how you’re doing.

Even so, he encourages you to stand up for yourself as well. Even though he’s there and he’ll protect you, he wants you to feel like you can protect yourself.

He likes to tell you the story about how he got his scar as, in his opinion, it’s pretty funny.

As long as it won’t upset you, he really likes to tease; he’ll pinch you, mess with your hair, and call you silly names to make you mildly annoyed.

(When you inevitably turn it back on him, he pretends to be annoyed to make you laugh, but there’s very little that actually bothers him. If you try to get something you want by whining, he can tune you out completely.)

He tries to find ways to help you make friends. Sure, you’ve got HIM, but no kid is an island, right? There’s nothing wrong with meeting a few more people.

And when you’re around HIS friends, he hypes you up a LOT. “This is my kiddo! They just beat the last level of ‘Cuphead’ and now they’re going for ‘Hollow Knight’! No, c’mon, don’t be shy, that game is tough, and you did great.”

He really doesn’t hold it against you when you act out. Like, yeah, you need to apologize and try to be better, but he knows emotions get weird sometimes and as long as you’re actively trying to improve, he won’t hold a grudge.
