    I honestly don’t think even Vader and Tywin deserve association with Shou Tucker and Cronos

    I’m not sure I’d call Ozai a good dad.

    Like, at least Vader had a redemption arc. Fuck, Zuko had a redemption arc. Not Ozai. Fuck that guy.

    His brother, Iroh, was a better dad…and he got his son killed!

    You want a good dad from the Avatar universe…it’s probably Tenzin…maybe Hakoda. Aang was an absent father who played favorites.

    The inventor guy in Ba Sing Se was a good dad too, his only flaw was that he was forced into helping the fire nation. His heart was in the right place, and he felt sincere remorse for the negatives. Just like Hakoda and Iroh. Not Ozai. Even Aang could be excused…like if there’s one job that’s more important than family, it’s probably “facilitating world peace” and “rebuilding your entire culture from a 99.999% genocide that happened when you were 10”

    Edit: I seriously thought I was in /r/daddit. Carry on.

        He is the definition of absentee father sending his kid off to be raised by his human grandparents and rarely if ever speaking of him. And when his kid is understandably upset about it Worf gets pissy at his son for having emotions about it.

        But we why know he belongs here haha.

        Worf sends son away disappointed he’s not Klingon enough. Son comes back with his Klingon cranked to 11. Worf now disappointed son is not an orthodox Klingon warrior cast in his image 🤷‍♀️

        Plus he’s also a super shitty brother 👌

      The honest answer is: we don’t know.

      The common name and interpretation is as the others already mentioned.

      But it is part of the so called black paintings of Goya. He created them at the end of his life when he was depressed, maybe insane and utterly lost all hope in humanity. He painted them inside a house on the walls and never showed them to anyone or talked about them. They were only found after his death, so we literally have no information about them.

      But they are all pretty haunting and have dark themes. And this one got memetic usage and was also often referenced and is therefore the best known one of the 14.

      While like someone said this is Saturn, you’re probably thinking of “Ivan The Terrible and His Son Ivan” by Ilya Repin. God I love that painting. The history is horrifying but the emotion captured in his eyes is just masterful
