Husk Is Not A Good Guy - Tumblr Posts

Something’s been bugging me about the way the fandom treats Husk. Lots of people have been woobifying him since the reveal that he used to be an overlord until he lost his soul to Alastor, but the fact that he used to be an overlord is what’s been bugging me. The show, and the fandom love to portray him as a poor innocent victim who’s being exploited by Alastor, but here’s the thing. He isn’t a poor, innocent victim.

The fact that Husk became an overlord is concrete proof that he isn’t some poor innocent victim. You can’t become an overlord without claiming souls, and/or killing other overlords, and Husk would have had to do one, or both of those things to get his position in the first place. When he has his little heart to heart with Angel, he doesn’t express any regret or remorse for the souls he claimed, or killed-His only regret is losing his power to Alastor. He has the nerve to complain about owned by an overlord when he used to own souls himself, and that left a rotten taste in my mouth. How are we supposed to feel sorry for Husk when he’s fine to dish it out, but he has the nerve to complain when he’s the one taking it?
