So basically Prince Sidon became my new comfort character recently and i couldn't rly grasp why I love him so much until right now.
From the very beginning something about the way his character is portrayed felt very fresh and interesting, and today i realized it's about genuineness.
This guy is so unapologetically supportive and genuine. He never does this thing where someone says something and then catches themselves like "oh that was cheesy". And i really don't see enough of that, especially in adult characters. In kids, sometimes. But almost never in adults.
I feel like at some point having very sarcastic and/or cynical characters, with "realistic" view on life was seriously a novel concept. But i guess the market has saturated. So in times where most of the media presented to us is dark and "realistic" (aka very depressing and cruel), having someone unironically say stuff like this:
(especially when the character themselves is presented as very masculine overall)
is really amazing and refreshing. And it's no surprise to me that he's so well loved. He deserves it.
