#knuckles being something more akin to chaos than the echidnas.......

Thinking about Knuckles and Chaos and how they're both guardians of the M.E and both seem to have been specifically "chosen" by the M.E and are both sole representatives of an extinct people (the Echidnas and the Ancients respectively, though Chaos isn't an ancient themselves but has an appearance reminiscent of them) and both generally have a kind protective nature and defend those that are defenseless
And how Chaos' rage at seeing their kin trampled and slaughtered led to them retaliating by committing mass murder and how Knuckles may or may not have that same potential except Knuckles would be able to use the M.E where Chaos could not

it's hard to tell bc so much of my shit is unfinished and abandoned but i have played with the idea that knuckles is basically echidna chaos soooo much
i wanted to write a fic where he goes through freaky mutations like chaos did. i never actually got to the good bit though lol
i have a messy rambley never-to-be-released fic all about him being pushed into a corner where using the m.e is his only option but he's terrified of it terrified of being something more akin to chaos than those he spent his whole life honouring and clinging to and naming himself after
it makes so much sense to me okay !!!! chaos is the only other being we see acting as the guardian of the emeralds and they're a god-like being mutated by the m.e!! knuckles has this mysterious backstory and how he ended up alone is unknown to himself but what if he's been there for centuries and just doesn't remember?? what if the m.e changed him in ways he doesn't realise and caused him to outlive everyone?? what if he was even around back during pachacamac's time it would explain how he RECOGNISES the knuckles clan temple which should be IMPOSSIBLE
i swear it makes sense im so sane
