#and I enjoy his dastardly deeds and his beautiful face but he still fails at life

i just saw your post about vegas being a bad mafia boss and i was like "finally someone who thinks that way as well", ive been seeing posts nonstop about how he would be better than kinn and im like how???? or even talking about how vegas "outsmarts" kinn all the time and maybe im missing something but i cant see it? vegas has been doing The Most against kinn and nothing is working out for him lol? like kinn still runs the main family (under his father ofc), he has survived like 15 murder attempts, got a new boyfriend, discovered who the mole was and only lost one bodyguard in the process? like rip big im sorry we were so mean to you but considering everything that went on thats a pretty good track record?

I think it's a matter of people not wanting to give credit where credit is due. People hate Kinn, so they're not gonna admit that he's far more competent than some people give him credit for. I know everyone has a hard-on for Vegas. Which I get because he's gorgeous but... being pretty doesn't mean you're smart. Being pretty doesn't mean that you're more capable either. Vegas has to rely on plain manipulation to get what he wants because he doesn't have anything else to use otherwise.

Vegas is a hothead, through and through. I don't want to rehash all of this out because you guys know how I feel. But I wish someone would name a single time that Vegas had a plan that legitimately worked. Vegas slides in when Kinn and Porsche are either physically or emotionally distant from each other and he often takes advantage of that distance. Does Kinn make mistakes? Yes. Does he piss me off by being an asshole sometimes? You bet your ass he does. But I would never say he's incompetent when we all know he's not. I don't care if people don't like him. I care that people refuse to admit that he's a far better leader than they want to admit, despite them not being fond of him in the first place.

Is it possible that Kinn may be too soft for that lifestyle? Again, yes. However, what makes someone a good leader is their understanding and acceptance that they could always be doing more. A good leader is harder on themselves than anyone else could be. A good leader sometimes falters and loses faith in their own abilities because they fail to save everyone. Vegas doesn't care about anyone but himself and possibly his brother. How would someone like that be a good leader? A good leader still has to give a fuck about their people. Yes, Vegas may be your little murder meow meow or whatever but he would make a shitty leader. I like Vegas as the villain that he wholeheartedly is (even though some people would claim otherwise) but I'm not gonna pretend like he cares enough to lead an entire group of people when he wouldn't even care if those people lived or died. Big was loyal to Kinn and it lead to his death and Tawan was loyal to Vegas and it lead to his death, and the reactions from those two men were vastly different.
