I think a lot of this has to do with different life experiences and our own natures, too. When we talk about that inherent goodness in him, it's absolutely not from an, "I can fix him!" or some compulsion towards a dark, mysterious, sad boy with a heart of gold trope. The fact that he chooses to be sweet and loyal towards his family (and its formerly-human additions) and is so protective of them--especially knowing at least some fraction of what he went through and how badly he was abused and isolated--is more than a little indicative of his character.

Not one of these characters is a saint, and not one of them goes about everything perfectly all the time.

There's a big difference between your actions and a thought expressed in confidence to your brother as a result of frustration: of being the odd man out (consider the origin and nature of his trauma) and what I would call a desperation keep his sense of belonging in his found family he values above all else based on all we've been given. Even Az regretted saying it out loud.

The Archeron sisters all feel safe with him. Gwyn feels safe with him--enough to joke and flirt with him, and enough to be alone with him. The priestesses are clearly quite happy with his presence.

He doesn't read "creep" to me at all from actions or context clues provided by other characters whose intuitions are known to serve them well for survival.

Hurt, frustrated, struggling, and weighed down by demons, yes. Not a single character in this story has started out with a stellar mental health and emotional situation--Az is no exception, and he will heal and grow, too.

He's not a creep and is clearly not written to be perceived that way. If he were, at least one character would express feeling uncomfortable around him who isn't a political enemy--remember he's a spymaster who does some unsavory work. He's an Illyrian warrior and combat veteran even without that specialized profession. If those who weren't absolutely on his side didn't feel that way around him, I'd consider them stupid.

Sweet's never meant perfect.

His being dangerous to adversaries doesn't negate that, either.

I just can't get over how every single time Azriel is mentioned in any of the books, from the perspective of any character, he is described as beautiful. Like... I think about him way too much.

Also, I'm sick of people portraying him on social media like a creep when canonically he is the most polite and the one you go to for peace and quiet. There is even a scene when Amren is resting against him. HIM, when she doesn't have physical contact with any of the IC except on exceptional occasions. And he is so sweet in his gestures to his friends, how he bothered to get Nesta a present. And not just any present, but something he knew she would love. That and everything else, really. How he showed Feyre how to fly and helped train the Valkyries (who were sighing over him even though males terrify them).

He is just... I love him.

Females in media (Guilty franchises, Tropes vs Women)

We can create a list of women-actors trying to carry and make their characters interesting and fight for their characterisation (in other worse cases: franchises feeding to that progressive-now-feminism presentation (females showing strength, authority, being active and logical and **!!HAVING/showing AGENCY!!**, badassery, mechanic, crafts(wo)man, DIYer) only to steal that away with bringing back harmful and disappointing strawman tropes and ideas, like, later immediately making them sexy slaves; erase them or only just get them married and no further development or dreams from their part, past that.)

#women doing a good job while their female character has a lackluster portrayal.
