#deng is awful let's not forget that he's not out saving people gladly for the fun of it

[hehosts]

the thing with deng is that he's totally chaotic. he does everything that man requires of him (and more! gladly more), but he also does what he wants within the perimeters of what that man wants. deng enjoys doing "bad things" to surmise, but that doesn't mean he stands idle to certain injustices. that man has a very specific code when it comes to children: they're not involved, or if someone that's involved with goro has a child, the child is looked after to have as many little negative consequences as possible (it's unfortunate when a parent dies, so usually goro will take "custody"). also, with children specifically, there's an idea that save a child now? they'll be indebted to you for life when they're ready to make a deal or "play" with goro. they'll view him as the good guy. deng will stop cruelty to children when he sees it, no question. he enjoys violence, but things like domestic violence are also off the table. he'll intervene, though he doesn't want thanks — he wants the thrill of the kill.

#* ( deng ) ♡ — the joker #* ( ooc ) ♡ — headcanon #it's weird like #he won't stop fights he sees but he will intervene if like a kid is involved or like #like he won't typically stop a mugging but he will stop like idk a domestic violence situation he sees #because deng is stronger and he is well aware of what he can do #he's no vigilante seeking out to right wrongs but if he sees something in his path he'll do what he wants to 'correct' it #even though he's not doing it out of the good of his heart by any means if that makes sense #there are codes he follows that are laid out for him and then there's his own explosive nature #deng is awful let's not forget that he's not out saving people gladly for the fun of it #he just doesn't get thrills out of cheap shit
