just gonna simply and neatly list the traits I adore most about him and then remove that long rambly post with all the needless lore bits.
i love a lot of fictional characters but he gets his own post because he’s the best.
🖤 he’s an interdimensional eldritch horror that is simultaneously a suave and sassy parody of a gentleman. He scares the fuck out of me. He’s intimidating as fuck. But he also has so much personality and charisma and just dazzles me.
💛 as a telepathic entity, he can access and manipulate the dreams of others (I love all to do with dreams and the surreal)
🖤 his witty charm and cheesy punlicious sense of humor (my dream guy 😏)
💛 he’s so dapper; yes he’s chaotic but it’s classy chaos. he’s so manly. he’s got refined tastes. he’s assertive and dominant and damn is he 🔥
🖤 his demonic nature and clever tricks. Y’see, I’ve always had a fondness for ‘deals with the devil’ and ‘magically binding contracts’ and such, and Mr. Cipher is all about making those deals with anyone foolish or desperate enough to fall for his bullshit.
💛 chaotic, unhinged, insane! …. and gleefully sadistic (that’s not a yay thing but uh it’s him so..)
🖤 he’s literally the All-Seeing Eye dressed up like Mr. Peanut, as a GF redditor once said. best character concept ever.
💛 speaking of that eye… it’s eerie and mystical and I love everything about it, including that slitted void-black pupil. And those freaky (lovely) eyelashes. LOOK AT THAT EYE
🖤 that voice, echo and all. that laugh. MAKES ME SWOON~ and did I mention he was mean and masculine yet gawd daaamn @_@
💛 he makes no fucking sense. I love that he makes no fucking sense.
🖤 his infinitely stretchy black noodle arms and his YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK I’VE GUSHED ENOUGH I AM DONE HERE aaaaa
i mean like i could just go on and on but i’ve embarrassed myself enough wouldn’t ya say ;_;
i sure have a weakness for reality-warping eldritch abominations dont i
