Mordecai reminds me of a friend. So incredibly much. As in, he was asked by a girl to move her closet in the middle of the night. Comes and knocks finding a girl in something "more comfortable". (Again this is like 30before midnight or something) And the man ends up actually trying to move her closet before just straight up leaving. The girl even aaked if he wanted to stay over, but he figured that there was no need as he lived in the same town. It was years before he figured out that she was trying to get with him but he never realised. Anyway, that's why I love the man. He's a great person and friend. And I relish every time I get to explain that something has sexual connotations. (The man told me I could share his story when I wanted)

I decided to start learning about classic fashion because of lackadaisy and from what I know mordecai is not properly dressed for the occasion, I would think he'd wear white of black tie attire so it shows sartorially that he doesn't fit in which I think is an excellent touch.

If I remember correctly, wasn't there a comic dub where Mordecai was given looks by a girl and VIKTOR of all people, had to explain to him how to give *'the look'* back whilst not simultaneously looking like a serial killer greeting his next victim? As a hitman, he's flawless. As a socially adept citizen, he's hopeless. So, most likely, he's actually _WORSE_ than the ficus plant he was hoping to be 😂😂

In fact, it was legal in Germany at this time and Berlin was an LGBTQ hotbed. Of course, all that ended for Germans in 1933 when Hitler became chancellor, which is ironic as some of his early supporters including the leadership of the SA (the early militant arm of the Nazi party before the SS) were openly gay.
