But To Me Rise Splints Is Such A Like. Hes Such A /dad/ - Tumblr Posts

EXCUSE ME AS I WEEP EVEN AS HE WAS ASKING THEM TO CONFORM TO THE OLD WAYS OF HIS FAMILY SPLINTS DIDNT WANT TO ERASE HIS SONS i have so many thoughts about rise splints i love him sm yall like i know a lot of folks view him as kinda distant and deglectful and i think thats a very fair interpretation!! i dont wanna like un-validate that perspective but to me rise splints is such a like. hes such a /dad/ specifically such a dad that is trying so hard to not hurt his sons the way his own childhood hurt him his childhood was filled with duty and destiny and sacrifice with heavy emphasis that the needs of the world outweighed the needs of one scared little boy his life was meant to be a very rigid sort of path the same path the hamato line always lived and he walked away from that to go be a movie star to live a life that prioritized HIS own wants and needs and years later when he suddenly found himself raising four young children i think he promised himself hed never make his kids feel the crushing pressure of 'who you were meant to be' destiny has no place in the lives of children so chaos reigned in the hamato sewer-household as it always will with four young mischevious children they had movie marathons and built prop replicas and held lair games and sold over-priced lemonade and he let his children discover who they are tbh i dont even know that going to the surface was even like banned for the rise boys?? and as they became teenagers and more independant he gave them space to do so idk maybe its cos of my own family history but like. distance doesnt always mean neglect. sometimes it means trust. sometimes it means love (tho comparing my own family actually maybe doesnt help with that arguement at all but ANYWAYS) idk like i dont think hes perfect like theres definitely like different dynamics between splints and each of his kids like don clearly needs more verbal reassurance and affirmation etc but im p sure most of splints displays of affection are mostly nonverbal and he probably does see too much of himself in leo which can get in the way sometimes of seeing his son as he actually is but guys. he loves his sons so so so much. he never wanted them to have to be soldiers. he never wanted them to have to be anything but them
