And now that I'm catching up, let me add this. There is no way he didn't fuck up back then and was the actual moron responsible for kicking MC's dad/uncle out the window. MC's madness MY ASS.
I'm almost convinced that they were both there and the sister covered it all up and blamed it on MC because that was the least bloody way out of that mess (in her mind anyway). And bc MC was there they gave him meds to induce memory loss + gaslit the shit out of him. Perhaps I'm reaching but I wouldn't see why else his sister would be this weirded out by Lister acting all hurdur Im loyal and upstanding to mine duties. Well there is the whole assaulting MC thing, but I think there's nuance in her disgust.
I read a spoiler recently and this is actually pretty much the story. I just want to wait for the comeuppance for them royal POS siblings at this point.
I just started reading but HOMIE I NEED TO VENT. About Lister specifically because he's reviving my potent HATRED for tsundere coded manchildren who skip that point in puberty where they realize that bullying your crush is potent virgin behaviour. This man clearly wasn't beaten up enough bc he's got THAT type of audacity, the one which makes you want to spit on him and his grave.
A grave which I pray is built soon, and put atop of this idiot's gratefully dead body to put MC. OUT. OF. THIS. MISERY.
What is wrong with this mofo that he doesn't realize that he's spitting on a decade long friendship AND actively making his crush hate his fucking guts?
Bitch, every time he gives MC this filthy, slimey, yucky, totally dis-gus-ting look I have to withstand ancient, primal instincts to not start punching my screen. I'm puking his filthy ass vibes up I CANNOT. If I at any point was able to choose what fictional character will be shot DEAD on the spot, this poop troop baby man is one of my top 5 picks, DO NOT underestimate my disgust people.
This kind of "Hihi, I like you but I first need to make you suffer bc I need to vent my frustration over being rejected!!!"-spiel is never, will never be cute nor charming. It is the ultimate antiphasis to hot man behaviour and EVERY TIME it triggers this genetic memory of running towards the nearest bug swatter to be rid of this pest.
