Sorry for Plurbposting, it will happen again

When the character analysis is getting really good but then they drop “narcissistic” as an insult or character descriptor

liking posts about how horrible and manipulative the hive is and then reblogging stursia art left and right

i think what gets me about manousos being so fun and silly this episode is like. we've only seen him be alone and interact with the hivemind thus far and he's been so cold and calculated and just a man on a MISSION. running on pure spite but also anguish over this horrible thing that has happened. then we saw him determinated to get to carol and fighting with everything he has and telling the hivemind to get fucked at every turn. he's been set up to be this enduring badass in the narrative because that's kind of what he's had to be to survive and press on towards his goal BUT nonetheless there were hints of the full person beneath in the notes and money he left for people, in how he went out of his way to learn english for carol and idk if it was just me but like. he sounded so delighted every time he corrected himself or repeated something new. yknow???

Jokingly hating your favourite character and being silly like "oh haha they're so terrible and awful" and then seeing someone who genuinely hates your fave because they completely misunderstand the very foundation of the story
