I mean yeah he turned into an ... well you know, but he was acting like I think most would. He was to idealistic in a lot of things but some people are like that and I figured Anita would train him out of that eventualy lol . What do you think?

richard is unstable, and that is all there is to it. Even from the begining he was not comfortable in his own skin, and was prone to tantrums, and brooding moods. He only acts in the extreems, and even then only when forced. His recent evening out wasn't even his diong, but JC's.
He has to come to true (non violent, non sadistic) tearms with himself before he can truely become what he needs to be in order to function correctally in the trimverate, and as Ulfric to his clan.

But that is just my opinion. smile

I agree. I think he should just get over it. I mean, there are other weres out there and somehow, they learned how to cope. He should, too.

tell me about it, even his mother got used to the idea, and fully accepts him for what he is.

I dont know. Yes, he might be over reacting a bit with his wolfishness but there is something he dosent realize. And that is the fact that its not his animalistic side that makes him sadistic or anything of the like. Its his HUMAN side. It just now has the outlook that animals do. And that is to follow their instincts and nature. To an animal what they do is neither good nor evil. It is just nature. But punishing out of spite, out of malice and not to truely assert dominance or put people into their place is a human trait.

Malice
Pride
Greed
sadism
massochism
hate

These are all too human emotions. That of which animals are not really capable of. Someone needs to clue him in that its his human side that is more animalistic then his "beast".

Even if he determins that is where the traits come from, it will probably spark another period where he dissapears and broods some where wondering when he became such a bad person.
He needs to just realize that he is who and what he is. If he does not want to be sadistic, then he has some work to do. Because from the last three books, it is obvious that it is in his nature.

Well he acctually turned into an assholish sadist AFTER he met up with Anita. I truely beleive it was her influence that turned him into it. What was really making him erk about his werewolfism was because Anita freaked out when he shifted on top of him (which I dont blame her for doing) and she went to the vampire cause he seemed less monsterous. I think another thing that helped drive her away was watching Richard eat Marcus's body. gonk sweatdrop THAT really freaked and grossed her out. She knew that JC would never do something like that. He'd take blood yes but he'd never eat someone like Richard and his pack did.

Even Anita said that seeing him do that was one of the things that drove her away same as for ihm shifting right on top of her and covering her in that goop that lycanthropes secrete when they slip their skin. Only really practiced alpha's can shift and not get everything goopy. Michah can do it and Chimera was able to do it. I think that over time Richard would be able to do it too....but he'd have to practice. 3nodding

But anyhoo, Richard then had a huge problem with Anita because after a while she became more comfortable with the monsters then most of the monsters were. That's cause she'd accepted that she had never really been human to start with. 3nodding

But this is not about anita, or the fact that richard drove her away on severall occasions.
And it wasn't nesicarily Anita's influence that turned him into a sadistic a**. It was the fact that she and everyone around him accepted themselves being a monster, and he couldn't. And because he could not come to tearms with himself, all of his inward anger and loathing turned outwards, and he lashed out. Becomming petty and cruel, to make himself feel better.

Richard is unstable and should be sent to an asylum! My god, he is so screwed up! MOTHERS LOCK UP YOUR CHILDREN! HES COMING!

Sorry,I was having a little moment with my self there, but seriously, that man should not be allowed to teach children, he is clearly not of sound mind....(is my opinion too bias cause I hate him anyway?)

Richard... GEH! stressed

Let's just say I have a love/hate relationship with our dear werewolf king. I used to want to hug him more but now all I want to do is smack him around.

Don't get me wrong, I understand where he's coming from most of the time and even agree that his emotions are very realistic, but... he needs help. That's the nicest way to say it.

I'm really hoping that he gets better in the next few books.

the problem is, that with the premise of the last book any progress richard makes wont be his own. But actually JC stringing him along like a pupet.

Not to mention that I forsee him getting ALOT worse in the next book due to the pregnancy.

Richard is being a pain, and Jean-Claude will indeed end up having to pull him along if the problems do not fix, I suppose. Hopefully he doesn't find out about the pregnancy, but that is quite inevitable.

Come-out-of-the-closet time would be a breath of fresh air.
