#selflessness to the point of self annhilation

[the-crimson]

God I can’t stop thinking about bbh’s fight with code Tilin yesterday… not only was he able to keep toe to toe with Tilin, he did it all of his own merit and intelligence. He made the battle backpack that keeps him armed at all times. He didn’t pop a single totem during the fight. At one point - just before Etoiles came in and got the kill, Tilin was trying to escape bbh. And he did it all with a broken mouse.

It really feels like an analogy of his whole arc right now.

Bad could have been the one that killed the code Tilin, he got its health down to a one shot, but Etoiles was lucky and arrived just in time to have the final blow. No one remembers how Bad tanked that fight and could have beat it on his own - only how his magnets kept picking up peoples weapons and how Etoiles got the finishing blow.

To the rest of the island, Bad is the insane one obsessed with Skeppy. He’s helpful and rich but annoying. He’s always there to the point people take him for granted.

Of course he’ll be able to baby sit ur kids. Foolish doesn’t even ask, he just assumes. Of course he’ll help with a dungeon. Of course he’ll give you resources. Of course of course of course

Etoiles is the only one who recognizes Bad’s martial prowess. Baghera and Foolish are the only ones who recognized Bad’s spiraling mental health. Bad went on vacation in an attempt to tell the islanders that he can’t be counted on right now but they still ask and ask and ask it never stops

There is a reason I resonate so hard with all of bbh’s characters because they are just like me. Bad puts others first at the expense of himself but is taken for granted. When talking about who helped the island the most Forever presented these larger than life projects he completed like the NINHO that completely over shadowed Bad because they are tangible. How do you present on a slide show that Bad is the sole reason no eggs have died from neglect since trump? How do you show that Bad has probably given more resources, armor, and backpack upgrades to the islanders than any other player? Almost all of the eggs are wearing armor Bad made and enchanted specifically for them. But this is expected. No need to show gratitude when that’s just who Bad is. No one stops to think that this selflessness might have a toll on him when no one stops to reciprocate his kindness.

From the very beginning Bad has played a support role for everyone else. Is this all bbh is to the rest of the island? A resource farm and a babysitter? A secondary character to grander, more important stories?
