doomed to always be the only nahuseresh fan in the chat
#on one hand I get it bc he’s awful and he’s also the only major on-page villain we get?#the other antagonists either never actually appear (naheelid or the emperor)#or they are antagonistic but also sympathetic in some ways (sejanus or melheret)#or they become protagonists (irene in the thief)#even someone like hanaktos who is behind most of the plot of acok barely appears in it#erondites is the only individual villain who comes close to nahuseresh in terms of screen time#and he still feels slightly more distant from the main characters in general#it makes sense for people to fixate on nahuseresh a little when talking about bad guys in qt#but sometimes I think it leads to distortion of his character? I find him very interesting idk#and the whole story is less interesting if he isn’t fairly intelligent? he has these massive glaring flaws but he’s also good at some stuff#and just because he’s the most straightforward and present villain doesn’t mean he can be used as an all-purpose villain imo#there are things it doesn’t make sense for him to do#idk what the point of this post is….im embarrassed of how strongly I feel about this lol#fandom musings
