It’s so funny to me seeing different people’s interpretations of Alfred as like a master of masks but when I actually write him, it’s a portrayal of what I want real life USA to be. Someone who is kind and smart and fun and stands up for all of his people and who cares so SO much to the point it hurts. He’s a reflection of a country I would be proud to be a citizen of.
If my America ever seems like “too simple”, this is why. I think he’s just some guy who has a not-so-great past and has to deal with that eating away at his core.
