It's okay to like August's character (DONT CANCEL ME OMG)
But you have to realize his mistakes and his fuckups. And yes he's been through so much and has had so many bad things happen to him but that's no excuse to treat people like trash!!!
But he does have his good(ish) moments and he did try to look after Wilhelm as best as he knew how.
But he had so much pent-up anger in him. His entire reputation and life was his status and money. And imagine someone ripping that away and then rubbing it in your face. He had so much fury and he was so in the moment and he made a spilt-second (wrong) decision.
But I want you to think about one of the times you've felt the most anger. Now imagine the things you'd do in that moment if there was nothing holding you back.
To August, his entire life was gone, and when you feel like you have nothing you can do some crazy shit. Because there was NOTHING rooting him to his life or sanity anymore.
While what he did was wrong and disgusting and I hate him for it, a part of me (the darkest most horrific part) would've done the exact thing if I were in his position. And I think that's why it's so easy for me to sympathize with him.
Now imagine the guilt he felt when he got everything back (his school fees paid), in that moment of clarity he realized what he did was awful and I felt like he really wanted to take everything back, but he couldn't.
And he lost his friends (and I'm assuming) the last of his self respect.
And at the end of the season I don't know whether to feel sorry for him, or to feel good about Wilhelm calling him out.
I'm so conflicted on this ONE character and it's driving me absolutely insane.
That's the beauty of a good show I guess.
Now take this sorry ass screenshot that I took and don't @ me on any of this
