he honestly reminds me a bit of house of the dragons criston cole cause them being princess' knight and them mistaking pleasure (criston with rhaenyra) and kindness (eclis with penelope) as love/devotion and then the incelism jumps out over them being bitter about mistaking their own delulu and their respective princess not being the same with their fantasy so like obviously convoluted use of the word but i had 'incel' ontop of my head so incel it is
Thank you! Like kfc I feel sorry for him, being a slave and traumatized by war - but it always made me uncomfortable how possessive and obsessive he was with Penelope Σ(  ̄□ ̄||) even if he thought she liked him, he’s always acted very much cuckoo
Ps. I snorted at the incel denim inaction bc why does it fit so well lol
penelope: *breathes*
eclis: omg she wants me to love her so much im gonna go out of my way to do things she has never even implied she wanted so that she can let me love her forever and she will be mine only and im going to decide whats good for her for eternity because she wants me to love her so much omg!!!
(theres implied spoiler in this rant)
im just...yea eclis is already a little bit cuckoo in the mind from wartime trauma and his stint as slave, i sympathize with him but like??? hes not entitled to penelope??? penelope needed to act as his 'master' bc the game literally restrict her to only doing that and even then she tried to emancipate him but he had mental block to be dependant on her. they havent even communicated and its been 127 chapters. they havent had meaningful conversation, theyre still strangers, but eclis already pictured a life with the image he painted of penelope in his head so much that he sneaked behind her back doing something that essentially would result in her death sentence.....hes a tragic character but hes also a little bit of an incel lets be honest here
