How did your little gays meet and get toghether?
they were placed in the same childrens home and had a roommates situation! the friendship started out very rocky (young teens are the most vicious creatures but ficsúr was one especially vile... lot of rage in that little body of theirs) yet slowly but surely they grow not only accustomed but quite close to each other. both of them were in love pretty much right away but ficsúr had a girlfriend at some point and theyre both boys they dont communicate their feelings well (and this is hungary lol) anyway they get together after a bit of drifting apart because "you never know how much you love somebody until theyre gone"
doodle of these goofballs after their first one sided fight. im 14 and this is deep

I interpret Kaz's relationship with his dad a little differently from that one convo. He says something like 'he knew better than anyone that we didn't have the money' and I took that as his dad wanted him to go and have fun like a normal kid and not worry about the money. Of course, I don't justify physical discipline and it is abuse, even if the parent is well intentioned. I think that Kaz does love his dad and they're relationship might be more complicated. But you know that's just one of the many things he needs to work out in therapy.
(Again this is just my interpretation and I'm not saying yours is wrong. I do love the art.)
Just gonna use this as a little jumping point to talk about this bc why not, warnings for obviously sensitive topics
I dont think you're wrong, I actually probably agree, but one thing;
It's not uncommon for public perception to weigh more than actual actions or intent. In the example given, I see it like so; yeah, Souda sr. wanted his son to go on a field trip that they couldn't really afford. Yeah, Kaz wanted to help the household by not going on the trip and saving the money. Both have good intent here. It's not about that, though, because in Souda sr.'s eyes, refusing to go on the trip is like admitting that they're poor, which is like saying the father can't provide for his family, which is like public humiliation- in his eyes. In a fit of rage (and insecurity, if it's something that's already weighing on his mind, as these things often go) the assumption isnt that his son was trying to help, just that he did something that makes the father look bad. Which is a bigger trigger than most things, often, for patriarchal authority figures.
And it not an excuse for physical harm, no, nothing is. Probably, Souda sr. knows that, and didn't mean to snap- doesnt think he committed an act of child abuse- but he's been under a lot of stress, and his son was talking back, and, well.
I think they do usually get along alright, and Souda sr. does his best to provide for himself and his son and keep their relationship good, and Kazuichi is genuinely grateful for everything his dad's done for him? But in the end, it's another person Kazuichi trusted teaching him the lesson that people will let him down and hurt him, in some way at some point. If your parent whom you trust has made you genuinely afraid of them, it's hard to come back from it, and someone as anxious and emotionally sensitive as Kazuichi will hold onto that forever, probably, even as he might internalized some of it as his own fault.
It's a lot more complicated than just "bad father, sad son" (but again, not excusable, you don't hit your kids period). It's father and son who love each other and might be the only family they both have, but they clash horribly on occasion, make up (or don't talk about it at all), things die down, stay good for a while, then there's another clash- so it goes, even if the bad times are only occasional. The biggest Thing about these kind of relationships, to me, is that it's so easy to fall into a routine and let things stagnate, and before you know it, it's just How Things Are and it's easier to just deal than start rocking the boat.

Am I the only one who's middle school tradition was to get beat the fuck up for their birthday? You'd get hold by your friends and get a punch by year (if you're 14 you get 14 punches etc)? When it was my birthday a friend told me "Thirteen is gonna hurt :)" before punching my shoulder full strength? Was it just my school?

Do you have any feelings on Jenny x Wesley?
i have seen the ship in at least one fic but i don’t think it works for me! wesley is very close to jenny’s type, but the critical thing that giles has and wesley lacks is a fundamental deep seated desire to destroy things — a desire that goes well beyond just hating a fucked up system. giles is also extremely selfish and self centered and i think jenny resonates with that SOOOO HARD. wesley is certainly capable of those impulses but i think at his core he is still very driven by determined (if exhausted) hope!!! he is a very sad man in the later seasons but he is not actively fucking other people over. giles dipped for england because it felt more comfortable for him.
like wesley most of the time is trying to be a dick to drive people away or because he’s a little socially clueless, which is very different from when giles is a dick; he will say just the most out of pocket hurtful and dismissive things with complete conviction and without particularly caring that they hurt people. jenny i think is so very very into the latter, not so much the former. (she likes when her partner draws blood.)
