Happy father’s day!! friendly reminder that keith’s dad:
- abandoned him “so many years” ago, and never even told him why
- raised and left keith in a run down shack in the middle of the desert
- said shack doesnt even have a bed, so keith likely slept on this decrepit looking couch thing with this thin cloth for a blanket
- because keith had no other relatives or place to go, and due to the shack’s location, enlisting in the garrison was likely one of keith’s only options
- his absent father also seems to be the root of all his abandonment issues, which is probably a big part of why he’s also so affected by losing shiro and has trouble opening up to people
- mr kogane also never told his son anything about being half-alien that could’ve possibly helped him understand why he feels so lost, or to help prepare him for anything that might happen with the galra in the future
- instead, he just leaves keith with the bom knife and tells him nothing about it
- doesnt tell him anything about his mom either
- this ensures that keith’s only way of finding out his past would be to endure a perilous cult-like initiation that either ends in “knowledge or death,” which could’ve totally killed him
- it might just be because keith’s having this weird nightmare vision, but his dad in bom sure seems…strange. like, how he keeps the windows blocked off and keeps telling keith everything will be fine if they just stay inside. if those lines were pulled from like a repressed memory or something, then the implications just…arent very good…
ya i just…. i would fight keith’s dad
