Does Kayne Know His Daughter Is Alive.

does kayne know his daughter is alive.

no, listen. hear me out.

A screenshot of the Intermezzo Malevolent transcript that reads: KAYNE: Kids, Arthur. They are the most important thing. (The baby continues to make noise.) Hell, even I have a daughter. And you know what, she would love you! No word of a lie.

this is gonna be a lot of me interpreting kayne very specifically, but kayne DOESN'T lie. he withholds information but he does not lie. and here, he speaks as if... like he doesn't realize that lilith HAS met arthur. that she DOES love him. that he's her favorite.

and i don't have the ep 50 transcript but i believe that when lillith is being explained to arthur, mother darkness says that she was the forgotten one trapped within hattie. being FORGOTTEN, to me, sounds like "presumed dead," specifically by other gods. oscar described it as a great entity being "trapped." if lillith has been trapped long enough, which, if we're going by what mother darkness said, it has been a LONG time, it's possible her father doesn't think she's alive. or at least she's not coming back from where she was trapped.

"why would he call his dead daughter a bitch" you raise a good point. i could say he's a weirdo and call it a day, but also, the full line is:

A screenshot of the episode 20 Malevolent transcript that reads: STRANGER (normal voice): Don’t be. It’s not your fault. (He sighs.) Y’know, I think I’m starting to like you. Maybe that’s it. Maybe someone likes you and they are just fucking with me, knowing it’ll drive me crazy. (Aside, to himself.) Lillith, you bitch. (To Arthur.) Okay! Okay.

im not exactly arguing that lillith is DEAD, im arguing that she's lost enough power that it is the equivalent of being dead to the other gods. based off what kayne says, it seems that lillith has a habit of liking humans (probably what got her originally trapped within hattie) and messing with them. i think this particular comment is more a memory. like a "ah, someone messing with a human because they like them. my daughter used to do that..."

so to bring me to my point, because lillith is a shapeshifter and because (supposedly) kayne isn't really paying attention to what's going on in season five (based on:)

A screenshot of the episode 43 Malevolent transcript that reads: YORICK: I know not. (The witch coughs.) I do not believe he is listening. Your calls go unanswered.

WITCH: Whom does this voice call for?

YORICK: A powerful being, of immen – (A short pause.) My apologies.

(whether he's not paying attention because he CAN'T (blackstone) or he WON'T i cannot say) the point is, he wouldn't have seen lillith alive. and when mother darkness explains lillith to arthur they are hidden with the hand of malevolence. PLUS, dead children are kind of A Thing in this show, idk if you noticed (faroe, addison, marie's son, malam, mother darkness and the witch...). so, the idea of kayne seeing lillith, his daughter, resurrected to her full self after being dead for years, doesn't seem so far off for the overall themes of the show.

plus, i think it gives him and arthur something to talk about. and adds a fun flavor to his character. the way he talks to arthur about faroe? while having a daughter of his own he believes to be dead? actually insane.

sorry that's a lot. anyway.

COOKIE: I am not a hero. I am not an example to be held up to children. I host a trivia game. I don’t know how to solve the world’s problems. I do know how many episodes of Police Squad there were. I am not a teacher. I cannot educate the youth of America. I like the word “dickcissel.” This really isn’t a commercial, it’s just me talking about myself. Did I use the dickcissel thing already? I am not a hero.

there was a few times where kayne would make us hold a fermata for minutes at a time and without warning cut us off- if ANYONE held their notes even a tenth if a millisecond longer he… well. spectacularly gave them a finale.

hey man. they turned my favorite character into pencil shavings. given him the ol’ mashed potato. limited edition arthur lester brand apple sauce. he is giving the lego keychain on my backpack who has lost both arms and one of his legs has mysteriously appeared inside my pocket. they cheese grated him. yeah. puréed that motherfucker. to smithereens you say. bro got disassociated like salt in water. dashed upon the rocks. rent limb from limb. from the nave to the chops. you could go bungee jumping with his guts. maybe the real hand of malevolence was the hands we lost along the way. his bones are pine needles his eyes are fruit gushers his limbs are accessories to kayne’s met gala look. filleted like a fish. yeah. popped like a ripe cherry. just absolutely turned into soup. his skin is like the discarded perforated section of the spiral notebook that stays on the ring when you tear a page. yeah all that’s left is one final book he kept on him at all times. not sure what the title was, it was in ancient yiddish. yeah. weird right? mhmm. yeah they put him down the garbage disposal. yeah he’s just kind of a weird stain now. yeah it was sad. how was your day
