Tw For Death, Spoilers For Dangerous Fellows.

tw for death, spoilers for dangerous fellows.

perhaps it's just me being a simple kinnie, however i think we really down play lawrence's character.

he isn't just some "uwu angy boi yandere," or an yandere sim clone.

he is a well developed character who just so happens to be yandere.

like yes, he desperately wants love and mc's affection. however he also is a natural care giver to even people he doesn't care for.

he loves mc, because he views her as "kind hearted," and "selfless," why? because he never has been treated kindly without the person having a motive in his eyes. he has never seen that happen before, even from himself. he loves baking, and genuinely wants the people around him to thrive, even though he veiws them as nothing. lawrence lacks empathy entirely (which by itself, isn't a bad thing,) yet is completely capable of sympathy, and feels it often.

his true character motivation, is to finally live a calm life. which because of the standards he has always held, was impossible. he cannot allow himself to fail, or else his parents were right.

speaking of his parents. they're the only reason why he views isolation, dependency, acts of service, and manipulation as love.

in the sequel it seems to be something he has moved past from. since he has been out of isolation for much longer than in the start of dangerous fellows.

which is another thing we need to acknowledge is that, for someone who has been socially isolated his whole life, he actually communicates well. i was isolated in a similar fashion (long story short, for five years i couldn't talk to kids my age or anyone outside of my immediete family,) and i behaved similarly. social constructs don't exist for you as much since you haven't been social. lawrence grasps politeness, yes. however cannot figure out social cues to save his life (ex. the shed scene.)

anyways, while i understand hating him. you must admit, lucy dream wrote an amazing character.
