So, I wanted to make an appreciation post for Ferid Bathory from Owari no Seraph.
(Sorry if this is terrible😅)
Where to start from? Idk, I'll make a rant about how precious he is.
I. So, he is indeed crazy, even before he became a vampire, but he is really smart and those two qualities combined create a very dangerous and explosive mixture. That makes him extremely interesting and unpredictable.
II. He says he wants to die, that he is waiting for his death to come, because there's nothing and no one he cares about. But in Resurrection at 19, he is actually relieved that he got to live.
III. Also the fact that he likes/envies children because of their happiness and their vital energies, because they have a reason to live... He wants his humanity back. That's so cute and sad at the same time🥺
IV. ...Can we ignore for a moment the fact that he killed the Hyakuya orphanage and other people without mercy and actually having fun?😅😶 But I think that a lot is to blame on his sadistic and crazy mind and on the fact that he's a vampire.
V. Btw in the end I think that he still wants to live because he cares about something or because he has something to accomplish. That's almost surely revenge on Saito or attention from him, even though I hope that deep down he cares about Crowley and he's gonna miss being next to him and have fun.
But we know that he gets bored of everything really soon, even though that doesn't seem the case with Crowley, so maybe he cares a bit.
VI. Why am I still giving numbers? Ah, whatever
VII. Oh another thing about Ferid and Crowley (yeah I love their dynamics): throughout the chapters you can see that they trust each other. Crowley knows that Ferid is a terrible and twisted person, yet he follows him and does as Ferid pleases. Ferid meanwhile knows that Crowley will always be by his side, jumping in front of him to protect him from the attacks. Yet he still calls for him, even though he knows that Crowley will be there even if he doesn't call for him. (Aaah I can't find that manga panel! The one where Ferid doesn't even finish saying "Crowley ", because Crowley himself is already there)
VIII. Am I the only one who sometimes wants to hug him? Usually always-smiling-people are the ones who are the saddest, and we can see he is indeed sad, but covers it up with a smile.
(Also... Crowley's expression. I- wow)
IX. I think this is the last point.
We can't deny that Ferid is really (overly) confident about himself, and as a shy and insecure person, I really admire him.
Also, that makes him fun.
X. Jk, that was not the last one.
The last (but not least) reason to adore him is that HE'S SO HOT!
I think that's it. Just incoherent thoughts. But if I remember other things, I'll add them.
Anyway, thanks for reading
