Look, I get that Death is interested in humanity but because of his status as the anthropomorphic representation of death no matter how hard he tries he will never truly “get” the things he tries to replicate in the death dimension, but to me that screams peak dad energy.
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of introducing your father to new things like video games or twitter for example, they’re going to try their best to understand the thing that you find enjoyable but still have no real grasp on it by the time you’re finished explaining. Death is that concept only it makes up a major portion of his personality which means that Death is just the ultimate dad. Death is just like, I may not understand the things my granddaughter is talking about but I support her 100%. Like, if he wasn’t required to wear the black robe full time he’d absolutely be in a shirt, brown khakis and the socks and sandals combo.
Just…Death has peak dad energy and I will take no further questions on the matter.
