#the apprentices still respect him but they make barbed comments at him and even wigglytuff is like ''ew hes lame'' during the expedition

Playing through Explorers of the Spirit and catching up to where I was... and I'm sorry I mean no disrespect, but it really comes across like the modder never got over their beef with chatot from 10 years ago and is using the opportunity in the game to vent about how much he sucks and why the guild is bad actually

#i mean. yeah hero is meant to be an asshole and all and they get consequences for their behavior and its all meant to be uncomfortable #but im told the chatot stuff doesnt really improve. and like. im sorry he would not fucking say all that #free my man he did do things but not all that #idk i feel like people miss the point of chatot's character? hes a ball of anxiety that manifests as anger and deflection #and he tries to cover it up with pride and it only works like 5% of the time. also hes not the one behind the money rule #hes like. a higher up thats stretched super thin and is managing a lot at once and he has a shitty bedroom sldfldsf #hes under a lot of stress and it pushes him to do terrible things #but like i said earlier- its not terrible to watch because hes not seen as awesome and perfect for this #the apprentices still respect him but they make barbed comments at him and even wigglytuff is like ''ew hes lame'' during the expedition #he has consequences for his behavior! they know hes an ass and they lean into it. and thats better than nothing to me #idk. hes a complex and flawed guy. i find him compelling. i get why people may not like him tho #but its definitely weird to be like. ''oh hes a horrible man he lies by omission to manipulate you into joining the guild- #-and hes super lazy and he pawns off his work onto you and hes ruined careers and hes PROUD of it and he giggles over it-!'' #you did not get the point of his character. by ''pawning off work'' you mean delegating tasks which every apprentice does #also not to victim blame or anything ig but like. damn its not his fault hero joined the guild on a whim sdlkfjsdf #idk. it comes across as really hollow to me like the author just wanted to stick it to chatot after all these years #and it makes the whole thing as like an epilogue au thing to the canon story feel less authentic to me #idk its just a mod but i feel like this is just a common thing ppl push on chatot. he sucks but not like that #echoed voice
