YOU ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE MADE TO SPEND AN ETERNITY TOGETHER. IT IS THE UNIVERSE'S CRUEL JOKE.
this is already ending up on blogs with tag systems that involve fonts, which is fine, but let none of us forget that this was said by HER

Don't you want to become a cult leader?
watermunch im so sorry but if your expecting monogamy from badboyhalo of all people that is not going to happen
I've always felt like character!Bad's love language has been gifts and acts of service. He loves feeling helpful. He'll be here for you, be it just to listen when you feel sad or to make you the best armor you've ever seen.
And yes, people might not show gratitude for his time and generosity, but he doesn't care, because that's his way of showing his friendship and he enjoys it!
So saying no to tr!aimsey, tr!ros and tr!tina (three people he cares about so deeply) was really painful for him. You can clearly see how he tries everything not to say no. He tried finding excuses, saying how tr!ros plotted to kill him, maybe hoping she'd say sorry or at least explain herself. Even if he knew tr!ros would have made a fake apology in order to get a reward out of it, I'm sure it would've been enough for tr!bad to make a new armor right away.
Then he wanted to set a very expensive price, so tr!aimsey would've been the one to say no in the end.
Even when tr!water showed him how he was providing the tools to hurt himself, he felt difficult to plainly say "no".
He loves being the one to provide and it hurts him to feel useless. I'd even argue that ofc he was mad at tr!water for walking around without armor, but also a bit because she asked tr!aimsey to help her with that and not him. (But that's my take, I can be very wrong here) It's not jealousy per say, but if his friends find help elsewhere, will they stay his friend?
In his low self-esteem vision of himself, his generosity is definitely something he thinks add value to his personality (cf that time on qsmp talking with q!tina where q!bad said people only put up with him, paraphrased). More often than not, people took advantages of that, but oh well! Does it matter the reasons why they hang out with him as log as he's not alone?
Despair.
tr!bad feels SOO safe with tr!water. he reads tr!bad like a children's book. he doesn't question tr!bad's intentions, and has a much more similar mindset to him than any of the others surrounding his domain.
in fact.... tr!bad feels SO safe with tr!water....
that he accidentally just told him that tr!ros asked to be killed.
[tr!bbh centric, long(ish) post]
I just realized there has been accidental foreshadowing of Bad killing Ros since she came back from The Null. Bad talked with Foolish about their concerns with Ros, Aimsey and Pangi and they both agreed if they don't improve they may have to try killing them to fix them. They agreed that killing would be the last resort but they couldn't rule it out. Bad and Foolish both did try various methods to try and bring Ros's memories back and cure her timesickness but none of it worked. Killing Ros was always the last resort to try and help her. Bad even told Joe Broski Prime that Ros was never the same after The Null and part of why he killed her was that he hoped this would finally fix her timesickness. Bad didn't plan to kill Ros but when she came to him fully set on dying he already knew this may have been the outcome from the start. He did his best to help her in his own ways and even at the end he still tried to ask her if this is what she really wanted. Ros knew what she was doing when she asked Bad of all people to kill her. She knew he was one of the only people who would be willing to kill her and she was right. Bad didn't want to and tried to avoid it but he has been willing to for awhile.
Do you think Ros reminded him of when he slowly died from radiation poisoning from a nuclear explosion? The way he got more and more lost and forgetful? The way he tried to hide that anything was wrong? The way he would deny anyone who wanted to help him? The way he died alone in a field with no one around? I think I really do understand why he was willing to kill her even if he didn't want to.
This means war.
Heyaa i'm Finally done with this comic lMAO- i got the original idea that for a split second, tr!Bad sees tr!Lukey as Dapper and tr!Sneeg as the code monster before flying away and pulling stasis from the lovely Mae on twitter. Here's their post! This scene was absolutely insane and i think you can very well see the grip it had on me kjkskks
A huuge thank you to my brother @icarusthecryptid for helping me out with the perspective on this one!! He's an amazing artist, everyone follow him please <3
