The way the TMA fandom treats Martin honestly baffles me.
Like, he is not just a soft uwu tea boy, y'all. We all remember when Annabelle straight up called him out on feigning his awkwardness and incompetency, right? We all remember when he was actively encouraging Jon to go on a murder spree, right? Even in season two, we all remember when he was fully prepared to just beat the shit out of Michael in the tunnels until Tim stopped him, right?
Hell, even in season one, the dude is not THAT incompetent. Jon is just an asshole and an unreliable narrator.
The dude is a compulsive liar and manipulator. He’s counting on you to underestimate him and see him as a harmless, sweet guy who can do no wrong because as soon as you underestimate him, he’s got the advantage.
He’s also petty as hell! He asked Jon to kill a man because he woke him up!
I want to make something clear too btw: I absolutely love his character because of all of this. I absolutely adore how fucking insane he is. He may be nice and makes good tea, but he will also slit your throat without a moment’s hesitation if you mildly inconvenience him. He is an enigma and it’s great
