Not trying to excuse his actions, but I think sovieshit’s behavior comes from insecurity... like he brought trashta, bc he likes that she lets him know that she’s “smitten” with him something that the queen doesn’t do often (and she doesn’t have to). You would think them being childhood friends would make communication better, but the emp has to fuck it up. That’s also why he projects his situation into her, bc he’s insecure with himself as a “man”... and we really hate to see it. Like he hates that our girl here carries herself with so much pride, yet if you were to put him in the same situation his pride is justified. Like it just ain’t it chief...
