random yap time.
i feel like when Khan was younger (probably around Uzi’s age, maybe a little older. idk, open to interpretation lol), during the time where he was still working for the humans and would definitely get physically abused by them, he learned to handle pain pretty well— and at the same time developed a high pain tolerance; basically to the point where pain just became a minor problem; for example, it wasn’t a main priority for him to cure an injury as soon as possible.
Why I bring this up is cause I find it kinda ironic that Khan probably handles an injury, no mater what severity it is, as an annoying inconvenience, while he is horrible at handling his emotional pain.
Like. C’mon. You’ve seen the guy.
Literally locks his problems behind a door, drowns in his grief of the loss of Nori by putting all of her kooky insane stuff in a closet (and that could be implying that he sometimes goes to that closet just to loathe) and using doors as an unhealthy coping mechanism in fear of failing everyone, so he could follow Nori’s wishes with her idea, and protect the colony of course. But in the end, it ended up hurting everyone who depended on him, drew him far away from his daughter, and not even realizing that he was hurting Uzi, he (in denial, mind you) thought he was doing the right thing.
But then he acts completely chill as he literally floats in the air in episode 7, very clearly signifying that he does not really fear physical danger (unless it’s a Murder Drone bc that’s a trigger for him. last time that happened, he got a PTSD panic attack infront of Uzi in the Pilot lmao /lh) plus also impling that this isn’t his first rodeo. Crazy shit like that has just become normal to him.
Which I don’t think I can pick if that is kinda funny, or just tragically saddening.
