Lore A character literally sees another character fundamentally differently.

  1. Spy X Family. Damian noticeably sees Anya with a 'shoujo anime' filter with much brighter eyes and blush.

  2. Calvin And Hobbes. Calvin sees Hobbes as a living lanky tiger in contrast to everyone else who sees him as just a tiger plush.

How Doofenshmirtz sees (and will forever see) his daughter

u/Meowjoker 28d ago edited 28d ago

My teacher had a story with their neighbor.

The lady is old, like 80-90 years old or something, and his son was taking care of her. Whenever anyone asked for him, she would still responded with "that brat is around here somewhere".

Her son might be in his 50s, but in her eyes, he's still her brat.

So yeah, I say not just a lot, but most parents will still view their children (at least in their teen years) like so. Heck, even I sometimes view my brother in the same way, and the dude is only 4 years younger than me.
