Honestly I think the saddest thing about the Nightbringer timeline to me is just how alone Diavolo is. Tbh, the only person he really has at this point is Barbatos (and I would never devalue their relationship. It’s my favorite in the franchise. An elderich monstrosity swearing undying loyalty and being a friend and parental figure to an abused and othered child will ALWAYS get me)
even Mephisto, there’s a distance there because of their upbringing and the current political situation in the Devildom.
Yes, Diavolo says he helped the brothers for selfish reasons… and that’s true to an extent! But the fact that people who think he’s taking advantage of them for the sake of using them for the Devildom have been vehemently proven wrong. He’s literally just lonely, and is in fact going against the grain of how the nobility wants him to treat them as much as he can.
Is it healthy to keep people in his life by having them swear loyalty to him? No. But imo, it I do think it is a purposeful parallel to how controlling of his brothers Lucifer is. They are both pride demons with similar daddy issues, after all. Diavolo just didn't have a family surrounding him to look after
Except he’s on the outside of that. He doesn't want to be, but he is. At least in the current timeline we had those arcs where Diavolo was able to form more genuine connections to the brothers. I loved that!! But now in the Nightbringer timeline… he’s having to deal with so much and at the same time has none of those connections to the brothers any more.
Idk. It just makes me a hundred times more sad than anything else. Sorry not sorry.
Especially since Solmare refuses to let Diavolo romancers prioritize and care about him in any way.

okay @trappednightingale and i have been spit-balling, and despite it not actually being announced yet, our suspicions are that jack and darby will end up with an eliminator match at dynamite 250 on wednesday, which i think darby will win, because i have a suspicion jack v darby is gonna be the wembley match, and i'm putting it here so we are either very wrong or very right lol. (he's also not officially been announced for blood & guts, but i'm assuming he'll get himself on that, too, since he does love bleeding.)

The feeling of trying so so hard to get into something that you should, by all accounts, enjoy and that seemingly every single member of the human species considers to be not just enjoyable but the greatest thing to ever exist but you just. Really actually do not like it and can’t even understand how someone could and wondering what’s wrong with you and if you’re literally the dumbest person alive because it really just seems to be you having the issue but you’ve tried really, really hard but it’s just not happening
