      So many “LARP it 'til they make it” chuds think they’d be on the throne, or the vizier whispering to the side of the throne. Main Character Syndrome is a helluva drug.

        They don’t think they will be anything, they don’t want to be the monarch they just want to live vicariously through them.

          Sure, there’s plenty of “being trampled by the overlord is cool as long as the others get trampled harder” bootlickers out there, but there’s also the “I would sit on the throne of skulls, not be one of the skulls in the throne of skulls” edgelord nerds too.
