hahahaha Yes. he has so many issues it wouldnt really fit inside a post without making me look crazy mybad. as a parallel to N, after he becomes champion the league gets Extremely Controlling with him and his image as a hero and they basically fuck him over. he runs away to regain his autonomy and free himself from his kingdom (and abusers) just as N had done. he has ghetsis parallels too but dont worry about it right now #OPPRESSEDMINORITIES

regardless of being the hero of truth, he spends all of his life getting idealised to hell and back from everyone around him, including his childhood friends and family. hes never quite allowed to be a person and his existence is only relevant to benefit others. everyone prefers ignoring the truth of his suffering for their own comfort and to see him how'd they like best. once the league cant puppet him around anymore, they proclaim him as Dead and get the full rights to do whatever they like to marketise his image and hes forced to hide away even more. his constant acts of self sabotage are a way to make himself less desirable, to have a way to get his freedom back, but this all goes in contrast which his biggest dream (thanks N for making him think about it!) which is to be truly wholly loved as a person, which is constantly unattainable for him. he even has borderline personality disorder

he's The Hero Of Unova and the only one who stood up against team plasma, therefore theres no one else willing or able to save him. he was the only hero so he's the only one that can save others but📞📞📞📞📞 Hey what is that. can anybody else hear that Hey? Hello? 🐛🐛🐛WHAAAT IS THAATTTNate is able to single-handedly able to break him free from this abuse cycle because hesjust built different like that. SKILL ISSUE! #NotReally it's because he genuinely wanted to be his friend and see him live happily without any ulterior motives. actually his only ulterior motive is Being His Friend. weirdo. THERES NO ROMANCE HERE THIS IS PURELY FRIENDSHIPILLED!!!

🙁 Ok four paragraphs in and i feel ill SORRYYY this is extended as hell. the thing is that hilbert is an extremely earnest and kind hearted boy who would do anything to help others Because He Just Wants To and this is what makes everyone so attracted to him. like moths to the light. he was chosen by reshiram for his earnestess and how hes willing to push people off their high horse for the best and to help them #truth and hes unova's radiant shining light. he's everyone's saviour and a permanently haunting presence to whoever he meets but hes never quite allowed to have a light like that in his life. hes an easy victim who's not so perfect and ends up harming countless others in his fire. it's just that Some People dgaf and just want to truly be there for him and❤️ thats sweet. hes quite charming and ill
