Who's your favorite Dunmeshi character and why is it Chilchuck?
Easy question Anon, Chilchuck is such an incredible character.
What I love is the way he's an endearing character who plays so much with the reader.
When we first see him, our eyes as readers automatically interpret his appearance as young and candid, but the author has decided to play on his characters' appearances.
The whole gang are eccentrics, and once again, at the very beginning, DM leads us to believe that Marcille is the most reasoned, given her stubborn refusal to eat monsters, but as time goes by, we realize just how eccentric she really is.
Chilchuck is an anchor of normalcy in my opinion, his eyes discovering the traps and seeming to be the only pair of eyes to discover the story with an adult and more sensible gaze.
Above all, he emerges as the father figure of the group, even though he's not the oldest in strict numerical terms. Chilchuck is proof that being a parent is a question of attitude.
And all this is all the more touching when you consider that he's on bad terms with his own family. He's always saying that everything must stay within professional boundaries, and he focuses on this limit because he knows that he can quickly become too attached, worried and automatically act as a protector, even if it's not in his own best interests.
Chilchuck is a cyclical character: we think he's more candid than he is, then we discover that he's a grumpy man, and we end up once again being touched by his role as protector rather than protégé.
It's all extremely symbolic: he's the one who flushes out the traps, so he's the figure who tries to save his team-mates from misfortune.
He makes it look as if he's walking without turning around, looking out for his own interests, but he's always looking to see if something's following behind.

I find it extremely funny that the entire Good Omens fandom is absolutely in love with Bildad the Shuhite for seemingly no reason. Can one of you please tell me why we love him so?
