How do you feel about Nihil? I like him a lot even though he was a shit father.
Ok this took a while to answer because my thoughts about Nihil are sorta mixed.
Obviously I LOVE Seven Inches, etc., I like his look with the long hair, but I just can’t view him in a sexual way.
He’s much more like a father-in-law to me because, well, since I’m interested in his sons, that’s what he would be.
Since I picture myself hanging out with the Emeritus brothers all the time, no doubt some unfavourable stories would come up about Nihil, so I do resent any pain that he might have caused the boys due to him being kind of a shitty or emotionally-absent dad and potentially making quips about his sons (especially maybe Copia since he didn’t even know he’s his son)
He can be endearing, I have to admit it was cute the way he said “I’m starving” with that little nod in Chapter 11 lol. But in certain moments I’d see myself having to step in and defend Copia. For example, when he called Copia’s car a piece of shit?? I’d be like um NO I actually love his car, don’t talk to him like that
Or the times when he brought up Copia not winning any Grammies or basically any stuff like that which he probably did a lot.
It’s like when your friend gets yelled at by their parents, you’re obviously going to console your friend and be on their side about the situation.
Especially because the Emeritus brothers honestly try their best, and Nihil was probably still making quips about them. And those quips can cut deep sometimes! (This is just speculation, but Nihil just seems like that type. And we’ve seen the way he does that to Copia so he probably did it to the other boys too.)
In conclusion, I can definitely see him as my father-in-law who likes to give me obscure old person candies lol but I also wouldn’t be afraid to defend his sons, and I think he would respect me for that
