#( I made this awhile ago and forgot to post it )#( there is no denying that flint is a mess )#( but it bothers me when people say he is soulless and heartless )#( he’s literally lost everything )#( he’s in so much pain he doesn’t know what to do with it all )#( yeah he’s angry and destructive and violent )#( but some never stop to consider why )#( he lost the man he loved in one of the most horrific ways possible )#( a man whom was trying to save them all from dying )#( he lost a best friend and the last person he loved and who loves him )#( again in pursuit of a non-violent end )#( he lost a career he built against all odds; a career that usually goes to the upper classes and those with money or titles and status )#( when he says he’s sacrificed a hell of a lot; he means it. it’s not some manipulation; it’s the truth )#( you don’t have to like him )#( he’s very much a ‘road to hell is paved with good intent’ type character )#( but please stop undermining him as some one dimensional jerk with no feelings ) [x]
I wouldn’t reblog this with those tags if they weren’t the most spot-on summary of Flint and the core conflict of his character that I’ve seen so far
