😈Worst thing you’ve ever done to your muse?

Maybe the worst thing I've done to Thad while writing him is making him so easy to bully / (affectionately) loser adjacent. This man really gets no respect as you can kinda see from how that whole "Slade is hot" thing went. (Thad's also lost a majority of the polls I've made for him on here.)
Though that's partially due to him being a very serious type of person, partially just how people treat him, and partially how I lean into the bit of people not taking him seriously. (Though it does bite me on the ass sometimes.)
Actual worst thing I've done to him? I think making him grow and care? XD. It's a hard spot for Thad to be in when he's contending with a slow internal change within himself, wanting people to recognize that change he's going through (like, 'hey I'm not the same person I was before. I'm not as bad as I was then,') and then having to fight people every bit of the way to recognize that he's not the same person he was in his past.
It's emotionally tiring for him! Some days he wants to give up and go straight back to who he was before. That person who didn't care about people, or have connections, or that didn't have this set of rules and morals that he has now (like not killing heroes), and instead just goes back to being a villain, period. Because that's how people see him. He thinks why should he change if this is what his attempts to change get him in the end. In his mind it would be easier just to stick with being a villain even if it doesn't completely make him happy anymore.
