Bitterness? Good lord, no. I think he's a terrific guy, if a little odd. He's a good friend.
I think sometimes when I'm trying to be sincere, it comes out like sarcasm, but no, I genuinely mean that about the Captain-Charming shtick. I am really intrigued and somewhat admiring of how consistent an aesthetic he puts across. It scares me a little bit sometimes, because I wonder about how much effort goes into it and why. Regardless, though, it's a neat trick. And I do get the instinctive sense that he's a really good person on a lot of different levels. Kind of hard to get close to, but that's his business, and besides, I have pretty strange standards of what it means to be close to someone, anyway.
I like your "chained n'pretty" image as well, but, hey - that's y'all's business. :->
