after watching gamechanger ratfish and rewatching the gamechanger battle royale episodes i think i’ve identified the difference in ally beardsley and vic michaelis’s chaos gremlinness
they are both chaotic yes, but ally cannot help but devolve into chaos even when trying to be competitive (can’t pretend to be brennan for longer than two minutes immediately does things bc he would hate them)
vic keeps the chaos while still keeping focus on getting ahead in the game (masterful move of getting ally out in battle royale)
Honestly I love the fact that Rookie fucked up so bad. Imagine being that much of a chaos gremlin that you foil a former god's plans and end up unleashing something even worse.
Tbh I think they may be my favourite protagonist because damn I love characters who are massive fuck ups.
