You Can Sympathize With Him Through The Shit He Went Through - Tumblr Posts

can we just talk about how august is one of the most well-written antagonist characters in modern media? he’s done some unforgivable things but you still see him as human. he’s not just an evil person to make the storyline more interesting, he’s so much more complex than that. from a writer’s perspective i absolutely love his character and his storyline so much. also props to malte gårdinger for playing him so well. wow. just. wow.

SO BASED
hes such a well written antagonists
see here it’s easier to write a “ho ho I’m so evil my personality is evil I exist to make the pro tags life miserable” antag
And it’s easier to hate on Mr. Ho Ho evil antag that way
but it also makes the antag flat and boring and where’s the fun and realism in that
im happy that they gave august way more depth
You can sympathize with him through the shit he went through
but you can’t (and shouldn’t) defend any of his actions
This adds depth and realism in the story
Young royals is such a good show
