so im rewatching the centaurworld finale, and i just realized why i vibe with the nowhere king so hard:
on the one hand you have the general, who is this confident, charming, effortlessly cool Normal Guy, right?
and then you have the elk/nowhere king, who:
has a blank stare 90% of the time
speaks in a flat or unnatural-sounding tone
is blunt and honest to an uncomfortable degree
has no concept of personal space
cannot make eye contact like a normal person
obsessed with exactly one (1) thing, and talks about it until he is explicitly asked to stop
unironically uses the word 'mayhaps'
and like... he honestly doesnt even seem to realize how weird his behavior is?
that's what really gets to me. bc the original elktaur was so self-conscious about how others perceived him, but the nowhere king just... isnt. he gave his last fuck long ago. he doesnt even remember what normal is. hes in full autism overdrive at all times, and is not the tiniest bit sorry about it.
basically nwk is the literal embodiment of "do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part that cringes" and i just think thats really based of him
