Season 1 got me feeling a bit for De Witt when he started telling his backstory with how he has to keep pretending to be human for centuries past and for all the centuries to come all while not being able to feel what humans feel and never truly connecting with them.

Then, in season 2, him as Ned... I did wonder a few times if he really felt nothing. Because in season 1, there were glimpses of his inner world already. And i was so ready to give up in the finale but then B-side Human hit me.

WHAT IS WITH ME AND FEELING SO MUCH FOR MONSTER MEN!!!!

Ned was trying so hard to connect and he's like "I don't understand pain" but, you don't have to feel pain to know you don't want others to go through it.

Please tell me he gets to be their buddy in season 3, please!!!

Jan de Baen (attributed), 

“The Corpses of the De Witt Brothers” (c.1672-1675), 

On June 21, 1672, Johan de Witt, the Grand Pensionary of the Dutch Republic, miraculously survived an attempt on his life when he was assaulted after leaving a government meeting. Although De Witt thought he’d escaped death, he had in fact merely avoided it. Just two months later, both he and his older brother Cornelis were lynched by a mob of citizens who were conditioned to believe the sibling statesmen had opened the country’s borders to a joint invasion by France, England, and Germany.

The aftermath of this exchange, immortalized by a painting that is now attributed to the Dutch artist Jan de Baen, was unsettling to say the least. Stripped of their robes, the brothers were hung upside down from a wooden post. They were castrated and disemboweled. Rioters cut off fingers, toes, tongues and noses to sell as souvenirs. One person is believed to have wrung the neck of a stray cat, the remains of which he stuffed inside the gaping hole where Cornelis’ penis had been.
