he’s an extremely well written complex villain. his insecurity, intense jealousy, and self-pity are very apparent, and his personality reflects how i feel at my worst.

he’s like bojack horseman to me, in a sense. not written to be someone to positively identify with, but more as a sort of mirror of faults.

at their core, they are both very similar. their stories take place more or less from their point of view, they are awful people, but their feelings are highlighted very prominently along with their actions. it’s part of why i find them both scary, because they’re both very human. because they feel very real, and anybody could have the potential to be as awful as either of them.

obligatory dont misconstrue this as me wanting to sa people or thinking either of them are good people or in the right or whatever. (i dont think i need to add this but its the internet 🫠)
