#but. I just can’t ascribe to the villain perspective on the basis that he’s been written as pathetic and then fleshed out to be deeply sad

Also a really big reason I can’t take “Izzy is the vicious villain of ofmd” seriously is because he’s pathetic. And not in the typical “this guy is dangerous but a little pathetic” way villains are, he’s just through and through pathetic. He gets a tummy ache when it’s stormy. He pushes Black Pete for no fucking reason but his need to prove he’s a Tough Guy. He’s desperate for any actual affection of any kind but would rather die than say that. A total cunt with innumerable flaws, but a pathetic one.
