#complex character

[supa-sweetheart]

It’s actually really hard to sum up, because he’s such a complex character. First of all… I didn’t expect him to be this… chill? Or at least to appear so unbothered by things that should absolutely shatter a person. (Unless he’s just incredibly good at pretending, which is very possible given his trauma.)

The fact that he was literally a victim of sexual violence, that he’s confirmed to be asexual, and still had to watch Vox and Valentino having sex right in front of him… I genuinely thought that would break him way more. But nope - the man just sat there like he couldn’t care less XDD

And later he was having fun while tied to a chair. Like… sir?? Hello???

So yeah, I’m honestly impressed by how insanely adaptive Alastor is. His ability to mask, to hide what’s happening inside, to adjust to any situation… it’s both fascinating and heartbreaking. He’s incredibly hard to read, incredibly hard to reach emotionally, and not easy to understand from a psychological standpoint.

And I’ll admit this too: at first I wasn’t convinced that his “clever plan” to free himself from the deal was actually that smart.

But I take that back now - the man is one of the most cunning, strategic, and intelligent characters in the whole series. Which… does not make things any easier for him in a therapeutic sense. His character arc is going to be one of the hardest to untangle.

The scene where we again see real fear in his eyes, when he brushes so close to death at the end - that hit hard. Alastor is someone who seems in control of everything, except his own emotions and mental state. Outwardly he looks stable, but if you pay attention, he’s honestly one of the most traumatized characters in the entire universe.

I love this man. He’s a psychological maze in a fancy suit.

he had so much potential

i used to be obsessed with nexo knights when I was younger and it is still one of my favorite nostalgia shows today.

one of my favorite characters that I was obsessed with for some reason was Jousting. and looking back on it now, even tho he is just a minor character who adds basically nothing to the show, I wish he had so much more depth because there ARE glimpses of his true character in the show. he has more interactions, lines, and traits revealed than any other Tighty Knighty.

so I'm going to start with the information I have gathered about his character and explain all of it: the first thing major to his character is that he's a pretentious asshole, but not in the same way that Lance is. he's a pretentious asshole who is more down to Earth.

he's shown this in many ways; mostly through his sassiness. he is incredibly sassy. he constantly talks back to Tightwad, e.g: "Uhhh, falling..?", "I go no feelin' in my leg" (I think that's what he says?), and my personal favorite: "Is this what filthy rich people do?"

he doesn't HATE Tightwad, he hates the things that he does. this is proven in season 4, March of The Colussus, where he says "J-Tight (tightwad) owns lots of property around the land, yo, he doesn't want to see it all trashed!"

he KNOWS Tightwad isn't necessarily a good person, and he hates the things that he does, but he still cares. his pretentiousness is also expressed shown in his first appearance in season 2 where he obviously enjoys the attention of the crowd more than focusing on the task at hand. however, he develops from this overtime; such as when he and his crew are fighting valiantly against monsters WHILE playing their theme song. and he's not distracted by the song or focusing on dancing, HE'S FOCUSED ON BEING A KNIGHT, while at the same time being himself. that's fierce.

i read some about the concepts for season 5 and I didn't see any mention of the Tighty Knighties. (correct me if I'm wrong on this) and that makes me lowkey sad. i know its just a kids show and probably has no real meaning but I feel like they wanted to use Jousting for something more since we got to see much more of him than any other Tighty Knighty. and I wish he did get more, because that would have been cool.

we saw subtle development in him and we won't ever again, maybe. maybe if nexo knights gets restarted or remade.

also I want to shoutout this drawing of him in scene (or gyaru?) aesthetic:

Someone here have talked about someone doing a whole essay on Asmodeus after the fall, so here I am giving my two cents after Tumblr Thanos Snapped my other post T-T.

Even if I'm not an Asmodeus fan or get that much info here I am...

My half baked analysis on Asmodeus and what to expect of Nightbringer :D

Take 2 because Tumblr hates me ;-;

Uh... yeah. We know Asmodeus.

The narcissistic fifth born, avatar of lust. The brother so full of himself and his looks to the point it gets annoying. Bro likes styling others and making others feel pretty (but no ones matches him... unless you're MC), and let's remember he paints his brothers nails. Even Lucifer and he spend most of his time WEARING GLOVES. And most importantly: Asmo is proud of himself and who he is as a demon.

"Who he is as a demon"...

Before this Asmodeus we learned to love (or tolerate in my case), there was an angel. The "Jewel of the Celestial Realm", the pretties of angels, admired by all... now finds himself as a disgusting, dirt demon.

Banned from his home, his old life, now dealing with the loss of a war and the loss of his sister. That's a whole baggage of trauma.

Asmodeus simps, you better brace yourselves cuz y'all getting some well-deserved character development! At this point, Asmo will need to learn to love himself again and embrace his new life. He may have fallen, but he is still Asmodeus: the pretties of them all.

This whole self acceptance arc will be very nice to see. How he got to be the "Narcissistic fifth born" and learned to love himself again.

He just need some love, some TRUE love. And who better than MC to do that?

[I mean, yeah, NASCAR. I'm there with my buddies and coming down the hill, but mother’s peculiar and rather complex character with a cowboy hat on that was too small, and he says, "Hey, I got a barbecue joint]

This fandom can be so hypocrite sometimes it’s maddening.

Some of y’all are being pressed because we love Eris and are trying to moral police us because he slut-shamed Mor and has played a role in her trauma.

Let me remind you something: Eris never wanted to marry Mor. He didn’t nail her womb, that was HER OWN family doings. Yes, he slut-shamed her and has been a jerk but he didn’t harm Mor that day. He even let Azriel take her back.

The fact that you’re willing to judge us because we enjoy this complex character and you can’t look past his crimes....

What about Rhysand?! Please, if you can’t accept Eris’s behavior, then how are you not saying anything about Rhys’s?

He sexually assaulted Feyre UTM while she was under their faery drug effect. He injured her arm even more when she refused his help and clearly said “No”. He couldn’t accept her saying no.

I don’t give a damn about the excuses that y’all are about to come with because he could’ve handled it in so many other ways but he decided to touch her without her consent.

She was drugged so therefore she couldn’t give her consent.

The hypocrisy of this fandom is when you excuse Rhys’s behavior but can’t do the same for Eris... & when you truly look at it. Eris is probably way similar to Rhys than you think.

Anyways, it’s the double standards for me🙃

Hugh is such a good actor I think that gets overlooked a lot like he plays Will losing his mind, he plays Will recreating the mindset of countless killers, he plays Will manipulating and longing for and just interacting with Hannibal. So much range and talent and emotion put into this complex character
