I feel like a lot of people don’t know tr!zam the way they think they do bc the mischaracterization I’m seeing everywhere is really funny. Which, it’s completely fair because not every realm viewer is a lifesteal viewer so the similarities between ls!zam and tr!zam are not seen or obvious.
I’ve seen a lot of people saying how zam’s core issue with ace is ace’s morals. While that may play a little bit of a role in it—that’s where it ends. A little bit. To me, zam’s main issue was the fact that ace kept doing things that didn’t match what he was saying (which is ironic considering zam was doing that during the “breakup” convo. But I think that’s just because zam has always sucked at communication). For example, how ace said that people on yellow didn’t care about him and then he was rude towards another yellow member in a call. And then how that hurts people close to Zam. Going back to that Zam sucks at communication thing, the fact that Zam even tried to express this to pili at all is a big step for him and points a little at how he’s from a future lifesteal season—which is interesting in itself.
Then we have the whole Ace’s “only” attachment being Zam thing. After seeing Ace basically threaten people (like with lukey at the sleepover) and then stop (begrudgingly) when Zam asked probably made him feel like an anchor. And that’s never gone well with Zam (also because of lifesteal).
