I'm rambling but I miss Leo and seeing my cubito so sad is sickening so here I come:
Whenever I hear others Islanders talking about Leo and q!Foolish relationship I can FEEL how little they know about them...
I know a lot of the things were said in a light way, as a joke sometimes, but hearing again and again how "We'll take Leo away from q!foolish" in the past or even "q!Foolish don't care about the eggs" more recently just fucking hurt when you actually follow their journey together.
The only person that REALLY saw them in their most intimate moment with only the two of them besides q!Vegetta is q!Jaiden, she got to see them play and bicker and just how they truly are on the same wave length.
q!Foolish and Leo, even before q!Vegetta went away, spent A LOT of time together. q!Foolish was almost always the one doing tasks for Leo, because he knew they wouldn't be updated for q!Vegetta when he was on, but also because spending time with his kid was never a burden no matter how some Islanders like to make it seems like he had ever complained.
Whenever Leo comes to him, they always plan together if they do the tasks that day or another, q!Foolish never shy from asking what Leo wants to do, and a lot of time Leo simply said they could do it another day, or they would do it together as they spend time doing other things.
Leo used to only be up when their dads were here and only in the last resort had to be up without them in the last couple weeks before going missing because q!vegetta wet away and q!foolish couldn't be on and even then, it was because their dad, q!Foolish said to do so.
A lot of people tend to call q!Foolish a bad and irresponsible parent because of his more loose mentality when it comes to how to educate Leo.
q!Foolish said multiple times that 'caging' your children to protect them from danger wasn't his type. He's more of a 'lets the kid make mistakes and learn from them' type of dad :
When Leo wants to do something, he always warns them of the danger, a lot of time he uses "if something happens to you it's your fault" it may seem like a cold and detached way of dealing with it but it's a way for him to warn but also reminds Leo that they're also responsible for their own actions. Spending time together made him realize that this method worked the best, and Leo understood that it's not him not caring.
When Leo said they didn't like wearing armor because "it's ugly pa", he let them not wear it, once again reminding them of the danger but also that he would force them to wear it if real danger was here.
Later on, when Leo started worrying about their dad security too, they crafted one for him, gifted it to him and later on said "pa where is your amor" and q!Foolish said "I'll wear it if you wear yours" and it's became a thing between the two of them, sometimes, during adventures, Leo would stop in their track, put down a sign and write "where's your armor?" and take their off until q!Foolish wore his too.
Leo always said that they missed their dads when someone else was taking care of them, but they always seem to overlook it. Leo said multiple times they felt different and far away from their siblings and they found comfort in their parents. Leo only has their parents and q!Roier more recently.
The whole "q!foolish doesn't like spending time with his kid" argument came to be because cc!foolish was busy, but a lot of q!character took it as him not wanting to spend time with Leo.
Mind you, they say this about q!Foolish, who for me is one of the biggest girl's dad to ever exist in the island :
q!Foolish that would spend every hours Leo is awake with them.
q!Foolish told Leo not to worry and keep writing in Spanish if they were more comfortable with it and that he was learning Spanish anyway.
q!Foolish that keeps every gift and pictures Leo gave him in a special backpack.
q!Foolish that would always stay close to Leo and sometimes get farther away from large group of people because Leo told him they felt overwhelmed in the crowd.
q!Foolish that rambled his feeling out when Leo felt like a bad egg because of these stupid allegations.
q!Foolish that always use soft parenting method on Leo and never overlooked their emotions if he knew it wasn't another tantrum.
q!Foolish that played into Leo's game, became badman and spider man for them.
q!Foolish that kept Leo's animals and even brought back to life some of them not to make them sad even if he had beef with some of them.
q!Foolish that to this day still keep the "always juntos" amethyst crystal in the heart of the dragon tower.
q!Foolish that still says he can't wait to tell all his adventures to Leo when they come back.
q!Foolish that is slowly cracking as the days pass and is slowly losing hope.
q! Foolish that probably cries when he's alone in his cold lonely and lifeless tower.
Looking back at all these things, I've noticed that despite being really open about everything else, q!Foolish is really private when it comes to his family, because it's when it comes to them that his feelings are the most 'human'. His family is his 'weakness' and as we know q!Foolish avoid talking about feelings at all costs.
We as viewers, saw multiple times q!Foolish almost breaking because he was overwhelmed with some feelings :
When q!Forever hit Leo, it was rage.
When q!Bad said "my Leo", it was jealousy.
When he was looking at pictures in Leo's bunker, it was sadness.
There are a lot more of these moments but every time one of these moments happens, he always puts on a mask of happiness and people forget it even happens, but q!Foolish don't. And we don't. Because q!Foolish deserve as much as the others, he deserves to be seen as the real him and not these tags people like to put on him and Leo.
