character study. the origin of misanthropy.

This post contains manga pannels, so beware of MANGA SPOILERS under the cut!

Disclaimer: I've been writting villains for well over 10 years at this point and I'm deeply aware that studying the 'humanizing' aspects of them can often be seen as excusing their actions, so I'm adding a disclaimer here to clarify that I am in no way excusing anything — a villain is a villain, but a villain is also a character and personally, I prefer them three-dimensional. Also, all thoughts expresssed on this post are only my own take on the character.

Dōma's hateful views on humanity are mainly sourced in three things:

His parents being poor role models.

Pent up frustration from the emotional labor he was forced into as a child.

His isolation from the outside world and the fact he was permanently exposed to people's trouble — thus growing to think humans are whiny and inherently miserable creatures.

The only canonical information we receive about Dōma's background comes from his own lips; hence reflects his own perception of the events that transpired. Dōma however is an unreliable narrator; because all recounts of past events are filtered through his narcissistic personality & apathetic nature.

From the crown on his father's head, which is the same crown Dōma later adorns as the Lord Founder of Eternal Paradise, we are given to understand that this cult already existed & was run by his parents. That would make his family the leading family of the cult. Dōma mentions his father would 'lay hands' on the female followers, as well, from which we can assume he was a man that would exploit his influence as the leader, among other inherently abusive tactics deployed to maintain leadership ( induced dependency, isolation, thought reform etc ) as is often the case with cult leaders. So his role-models were disturbed people who later on proved to be capable of violent acts as well; even if those acts had not been directed towards them at the time, it would still serve to 'normalize' these behaviors in Dōma's perspective.

In his mind, based on his parents' behavior, humans will take advantage of others for personal gain, be greedy & manipulative, grow violent against each other & display poor control over their emotions and show weakness & willingness to believe illogical things when confronted with something they fear deeply, such as the concept of death.

From that narrative we can assume that Dōma's parents may have held genuine belief that their child was special & gifted, or the crown was simply passed down to him as he was the Founder's child. In either case, Dōma was given special treatment from birth; which inevitably warped his view of himself and others around him. The contempt he expresses towards others is sourced in the understanding he grew to develop based on his experiences; it is not necessarily what they had been experiencing as a child, however.

Watch how offensive he grows towards his parents. The amount of contempt in his narration is notable; he thinks of them as weak & pathetic — almost as if there's some pent up grudge against them. That's the first inconsistency in his narration. A child born without any emotion would not be so quick to attach a negative quality to the worshipping. Instead, Dōma's understanding ( 'They were stupid', 'They were pitiful' ) is a product of his repressed confusion & anguish. As an inherently narcissistic character, Dōma could never accept an image of himself as a confused & scared child that was put in an uncomfortable situation. Instead, he protects his Ego by warping the image.

Cognitive dissonance is a major theme of Dōma's childhood. On the one hand, his parents ( the main source of information in the beginning of a child's life ) are telling him that Gods exist & he has been chosen by them, thus ought to offer his council to other adults. On the other, Dōma is not hearing their voices or experiencing any godlike intervention. Cults rely heavily on the censoring of independent thought; critical thinking & distinct personality become 'evil' traits, in a setting where only absolute devotion is rewarded with the leading figure's favor. Dōma was left to deal with his worries & confusion alone; and yet again his conclusion, that the worshippers are pitiful for looking to him for advice, is a hateful one.

How did he come to that conclusion? Was it perhaps after hours upon hours being forced onto that throne, listening to the stories of other people that expected some words of wisdom from him; words that he was not in a place to deliver; and so, when he didn't know what else to do, he cried out of frustration ? Couple that with the fact he would have received special treatment as the Founder's son, possibly being pampered & exempted from consequences, and that frustration easily turns to disdain and disrespect for others. His misanthropic view on humanity is a NARCISSISTIC DEFENCE MECHANISM.

Narcissistic defenses are those processes whereby the idealized aspects of the self are preserved, and its limitations denied. They tend to be rigid and totalistic. They are often driven by feelings of shame and guilt, conscious or unconscious.

Dōma's relationship with the cult has shaped his view on humanity as a whole. But, at the same time, it is because of the cult that he has grown alienated from humans and doesn't understand them. And that has a negative quality attached to it; he thinks of himself as someone 'defective' because of his lack of "normal" emotions ( as concurred by this post ) So for him, the very place that defines him is the place that has caused him to suffer.

Infodump ab Margo to me rn.

I am gohing to kiss you on the Mouth

I feel so cringe about it, but tl:dr she's my favoritiest girl on the whole world. She's a vampire, well kinda, she's more like a vampiric zombie than a full-fledged vampire. A "failed" attempt at a thrall, whereas instead of being a mindless husk of a creature, she sorta held out against decades of essentially torture. Eventually, being let out as a sorta science experiment by the vampiric lord of the house she's a part of to see what would happen. Surprising literally zero (0) people involved she skedaddles the fuck outta there first chance she saw. Whereas she was taken in by an old war veteran-turned-priest named Logan who she referred to as "Buck". She outlives Buck whose essentially just her adoptive father, being she's kinda-sorta-immortal as long as she doesn't get stabbed etc etc. After his passing she leaves the country and takes up work as a smuggler and information broker until she takes up a job that leads her to another vampire lord who tips her off to an adventuring party in the city. Leading her to the adventuring party who she now considers her family.

This is so tl;dr I have like 3 years of story for this character at this point but I don't wanna talk too much it's so embarrassing ;; thank you for this ask tho it really does mean sm to me when ppl ask about my ocs
