i feel that herbert is mischaracterized a lot as very stern and seriouse (and i admit i get sucked into this too in art/fics i make cus its easy to go overboard with the stereotypes) when in reality he is a freak ass ragebaiter who makes terrible puns at the worst moments and is also so pathetic and petty and always looks like a frightened small animal or a pouty twink. we dont give him enough credit for how sassy and just fucking hilarious and insane he is
edit: HE IS SERIOUS ABOUT STUFF and especially in his own head, just not the broody completely stone cold serious.
edit 2: yes omfg i know hes an otter and yes i agree i said he just looks like a pouty twink its not the end of the world 😭
