Thinking about Papangorma.... I'm gonna throw up (In a good way)

I'm such a sucker for Hardened Characters (whether by war, by harsh environment, by their status, or all of the above) being such kind and gentle parents... To the point I have like, 2 characters who are like that... man. I just. Explodes. Blows up, even

Yes their palms are calloused, their hands stained. Horrors seen that haunts their subconscious mind. And yet, they treat children (either their own or someone elses, both work) with such gentleness, perhaps a softness they themselves never got to experience. <- (This does include Pangorma)

I I III I I NEVER SAW THIS ASK?!?!??!!?!

This is what everything is about. I could not have said it better myself. I like to imagine that softness comes from a place of “I would never want this young mind ever to be corrupted by the horrors that I have seen experienced (possibly enacted) myself. I will do everything in my power to let this young one live the life I could never live in my years.”
