it’s always virtuous to drag noel for having such a big ego but honestly genuinely what a triumph for him?? to have grown up being told your name stands for no.one.ever.loves, crying alone in your room because the world gave up on you from the start and no one expects you to have anything but a dead-end life… to go from that to being able to confidently announce for all to hear that you are the best there’s ever been and to be able to back that the fuck up with about as much evidence as you could possibly want? incredible. wonderful. like sure, does he still suffer from deep underlying self-loathing? yeah obviously. but he’s never believed again that he’s worthless, and I’m so happy for him
