#// them having a fucked up abusive relationship is cooler so I’m being delusional about it

// Aoyama having some sort of relationship with AFO and seeing him regularly is cooler than him just never rly seeing the guy much so that’s what I’m choosing to believe lol . basically for my interp, Yuga sees AFO pretty regularly and ends up seeing him more of an abusive family member than a villain even if they aren’t actually related .

// AFO makes him and his parents refer to him as “uncle”, and he often uses manipulation to get people to fall in line . Yuga has to regularly interact with him, especially after the traitor role is set up for him, so AFO’s constant controlling presence would be more similar to an abusive family member just because it’s far more personal than just being extorted by an unseen presence . Yuga knows that he’s not in control, he knows that AFO could destroy his entire life and kill his parents if he wanted to, but he’s still forced to talk with him and show him gratitude for his gifted quirk . AFO is a lot more scary to him because he’s not always cruel, a lot of the times he really seems kind . Yuga is fully aware (and has seen) what terrible things AFO can do, the fact that he’s basically forced to treat him as a familial figure is what really gets into his head on a deeper level than just threats would (partially because of how much weight he/his parents put on family and loyalty to family) he knows that if he doesn’t keep up this falsely good familial bond, horrible things will happen, and that constant dread is the main reason he doesn’t get the strength to rebel for a long time and ends up beyond terrified of the guy .
