Thread to expand on my thoughts and this goes for any neurodivergent character but Pepper is the example:
-Saying they need a adoptive parent/parent figure implies they lack skills to be an adult on their own merits.

-Saying Blot as a big brother or friend works better without ripping away the equal ground the ep built them having.
-They would not have gotten close to winning without Pepper& #39;s contributions.

-A brother or friend can provide advice without bringing down Pepper& #39;s character. She is smart! She sees angles and things Blot did not.

-Parenthood is not the equal ground the ep ended on. Blot being her adoptive dad means there& #39;s an imbalance once again in their dynamic.

In the end if you want to see it that way, that& #39;s up to you. I& #39;m not gonna seek out people to agrue with on this. I just wanna toss my thoughts on it out.
