My favourite bad take in this entire fandom is that Basil should've spent his time making amends and taking responsibility for his role in Mari's death instead of hating himself and planning and eventually enacting his suicide. You know. As self-hating people who are afraid of facing the truth no matter how much they love the people around them and who are punishing themselves are known to have as their highest priority. Especially to people who have ignored or abused them for years.

And the following conclusion that he's evil because he was depressed and focused on ending his life and not on being positive and constructive towards the others and their future he'd already destroyed and he wouldn't be a part of 👿
