Martin Blackwood the kinda guy to brag about only ever reading classics but when you ask him what he actually reads he would list like three dostoyevski books and "no longer human" by osamu dazai
he’s like an annoying bitchass ex that’s like “heh… I just think dostoyevsky’s a lot more profound than the other works 🥴” shutupshutupshutup
Unless he violently changes like halfway through the show he doesn’t really read as the sort to gloat. The above circumstance feels more likely from the angle of him butting into a conversation in a need to be included, rather than gloating to pad out his ego. He’s a people pleaser at his core, after all.
“unless he violently changes like halfway through the show” haha. yeah. about that….
