liking Reed has irrevocably changed my relationship to fiction because now i'm automatically sympathetic of villains.

the villain is planning and plotting to keep the love of their life by their side? we love to see a motivated individual take charge of their life. villain is planning to destroy the world? yesss king, omg you're absolutely cooking. the villain has a sad backstory and is incredibly messed up by their trauma? even better. i love you so much, i want you to find peace and happiness and/or fulfil all of your dreams and wishes. (this includes destroying the world.)

#s-class heroine spoilers #a transmigrator's privilege #the perks of being an s class heroine #reed #liking reed has made me so much gentler towards villains and characters who are horrible people in general #when he tells ailette 'interesting. you still want to save me even after all ive done?' and im like yes king you still deserve kindness 😔#reed's such a fun guy because im sure that on some level. after being taken advantage of for all his life he just doesnt seem himself as #someone to whom kindness is given to. kindness is something you give to others but not to (MASSIVE SPOILERS) tesilid argente #but more importantly hes just really mad he wants and needs to break some shit #and after so long of repressing things. no wonder lol #anw this was prompted by me reading a webtoon whr the villain is outwardly gentle to the FL whos his fiance #but actually plotted to make her grand plans fail so that #she wouldnt become so obscenely rich that she could break of their fake engagement as planned #which is so interesting to me #bc yes hes manipulating and controlling and wtv and their relationship is not healthy and is doomed #but also hes unfailingly made her comfortable in his presence. she doesnt see him as a threat at all and relies on him sooo much #which is cute! not in real life but very cute conceptually #get you a man who makes humanity almost lose the war against demons because he doesnt want to lose you. lmao. whats wrong with him #just go confess to her properly you idiot. youre the fiance 😭#this is about 'hiding the archduke's humiliating history'#funny guy. i hope we get more screentime of him. i hope the FL falls in love with him. <- delusional
