He litrally was gonna be a male stud breeding cow slave for the lady barbarians at the beginning and only rose to the top after he mary sued his way into their hearts.
It just...... gnaws at my brain. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
It cut but basically, he rly thought he was making a fashion statement HUH Mf legit yassified his slavery
Been OK if it was either cuffs or a regular fucking choker, but not with the chain or a chain necklace that is kinda you know broken at the bottom like that would’ve been nice but not a whole ass joker with a chain on it. I do agree with you on it like either or regular ass choker Chain necklace or cuffs and I think it’s mostly the design that is the issue. I don’t even think it by itself is the issue it’s the way that they designed it. That is the issue. It looks like crap.
I think I now understand why I feel this way. Ive seriously been mulling over it and I realized (not to lean on the social justice angle or my coocoo koolaid conspiracy mind) but it doesnt look good for 2 reasons: the way its designed and its backstory. See, aesthetics alone, I had to do a quick pinterest stalk to check that I wasn't going crazy. As you said, variations of a cop's cuffs as a bracelet turns into a studded leather cuff or actual cufflinks of the chain could be used. Many baddies (leaning or not into bdsm territory) make chunky chokers and thick chains look cute both guy and girl but Vikir's just.... Looks ugly. Like, it doesn't fit his very upstandard and proper englishmen-esque fits. Not even with their skilled artist(s?) capabilities which is WHEW. Second and last reason and bear with me here, do you remember the mixed couple who did a whole-ass slave and owner plantation engagement photoshoot?? While what Vikir has is nothing compared to that craziness, I think I feel the ick from a mile away is because.... He doesnt rly get to earn the cutting of his chains. He never rly got to struggle integrating and settling with the barbarian community. I would argue that he felt more at home and saw them as family more than he did Baskerville. To cut my rambling short, I fear.... i find his reasons of integrating that choker of his 'struggles and hardships and finding community' tactless at most and corny at best. ╮(￣▽￣)╠Bro was too good and his words of struggle dont coincide with his easy integration with the barbarians. My guy wasnt sweating when he first was to be the community's new collective sperm donor and fit right in kicking the chief's grandson and most honored guys out of the spotlight to be flashed on him. In short, it aint look good on him and he aint earned the right to wear a tacky chain that wasn't integrated well with his fits because he never rly went through slavery SLAVERY FR. He just..... Kinda cosplayed a bit. At any time he coulda left idk ive gon crazy rambling haha (⌒▽⌒)
Is it me, am I rly the problem?
Its been nagging at me and I tried to shut up for as long as I could while season 1 ended and a new season has begun.... BUT! That fucking slave collar gives me the ick i cant believe my regressor brobro in Christ thinks he's making a statement [literally] by cutting jt and saying it's a symbol of his renewed identity and self and wears it with his other fits like a fashion statement. It is not deep fashion its giving
