You know what I find really funny? That according to Schiller's play - Carlos wasn't always a wussy. Heck, he apparently used to be quite an intelligent, fierce young man and wasn't really all that different from Rodrigo character-wise, before all that bullshit with Elisabeth happened.

And yet the whole fandom collectively decided that he's a man child, a baby, needed to be protected forever and always, and Rodrigo's pretty much his baby sitter even though he's apparently two years Carlos's junior.

And I love this, I don't want this to change, I'm totally guilty of it too. Just a funny concept, if you think about it lol
