#and no if you’re proshit go fuck yourself

It only concerns me a little bit I haven’t really seen a written introspection on Stampede Knives’ character, specifically him. 98 is 98 and Maximum Knives has enough elitists on his case to cover him, definitely not a fan favourite but people have broken him down.

I’m aware of how disliked he is, Stampede that is, but it really is something. Could I write it, and could I kill an analysis of him? Most likely. I’ve been injecting the character into my veins, breathing him in and out for a year, every incarnation of him.

But I’m so curious to see someone else do it. Curious to see if someone else will do it…Maybe to convince myself I’m not a complete fool, or stuck in delusion. Maybe to find someone else that got it.

Hate and disdain, is something I’ll never protect him from. He’s an asshole. But man, even he doesn’t deserve the shallow reading of him that’s too widely accepted I think.

But who am I to say what is and isn’t…

#thinking #I just remembered I’ve never read a Stampede knives character study #I was delighted to read a Max character study #by a person of colour no less! #which was fucking fantastic #or perhaps it was an overall study of the concept of a character #either way #I haven’t had a real discussion about him in a year #and no if you’re proshit go fuck yourself #I’m not talking to you #there’s just so much to analyse #on the theme of denial #emotional repression #ACTUAL mommy issues (not the guilt Vash has) #then there’s the loneliness #and isolation #and jealousy #and fear of abandonment #and god the yearning #to be a child again #to be a child and do it all again but differently #he’s going to hell and I’ll kill him with my own hands #but I still care about him unfortunately #I care a lot #he’s so stupid #I hope they expand on his self loathing in S2 #and definitely his relationship with Rem #millions knives trigun #trigun stampede #millions knives
