Honestly, people on both sides misunderstand Thrawn. People either say slay or babygurl and ignore his crimes and make him some oversensitive guy who was forced into working for the Empire. Or some cliche comic book villain with no self control whatsoever. They’re both wrong. Thrawn isn’t bloodthirsty, he isn’t barbaric or sadistic, but he still a villain. Thrawn is, in the end, still a fascist. Still an Imperialist. He is a part of not one, but two governments that value control, order, and abuse over the masses. He is comfortable in fascism and it has benefited him greatly his entire life. He doesn’t want things to change. He sees no reason to change it. Thrawn has made his choices and he is a bad man who supports a bad system. He does anything to achieve his goals, but just prefers to do so with the least bloodshed possible for convenience sake and not any actual care to the lives of the people who serve under him. That’s literally it.

#thrawn #mitth'raw'nuruodo #moff gideon #the same goes for his twink bf too #eli choosing one fascist state over another makes Me Scream like dude look at your life choices #like go ahead and like thrawn but he’s a Villain for a reason #the Sole Purpose of him joining the empire was to assess it to see if it proved as a threat to his own fascist government like omg #and the thing is he’s always been like this #he was never Not a fascist because he was born to serve the chiss #he’s never been part of anything good in his life #edit: ppl saying gideon is weaker than thrawn because #gideon appropriates cultures while thrawn ‘appreciates’ them or ��immerses’ himself in them #thrawn only appreciates enough about a culture so he can learn how to destroy it better #He Doesn’t Respect It #he knows targetting the culture of a ppl is especially damaging and heinous and he takes advantage of that #thrawn doesn’t appropriate cultures because he finds it Beneath Him #he literally says the jedi culture is bullshit and doesn’t care they got wiped out #and in the end that’s what beats him #so gideon and thrawn are more alike than different
