#some of the other defenders have examples of being kind of sweet - like Kook doing a dance with someone after round 2

No but actually I do need to talk about Skabb for a moment. He’s actually such a good guy, it’s kind of insane. Obviously he’s comforting Gildar in this photo, but that’s not even the only example of him being nice. He definitely has the most instances out of all the defenders - in fact, the only other times I can think of are Crocness wiping the slime off someone’s goggles (which might not even have been intentional), and Thorne helping that girl climb the wall. But Skabb has at least two more instances of genuine kindness that I can think of off the top of my head. 1 - sometime in season 2, one of the attackers pulled out right at the start of round three, and we see Skabb running off to go and see them shouting, “NEVER GIVE UP!” because he really wanted to encourage them when that’s the opposite of his job. 2 - again in season 2, at the end of round two, he heads downstairs and high-fives one of the attackers who didn’t qualify and says something like “Good job. Yes? Yes?” until the attacker agrees they did a good job (or whatever it was specifically that he said). Literally in the episode I’m watching now he’s said “Jump! That’s it, go on now, jump!” and “Don’t worry about him, keep going, don’t give up!” because he is so good. Like Skabb can act tough and scary all he wants, but he really does care for other people no matter what.

THIS is what I mean when I say Skabb is everyone’s emotional support himbo
