I'm being so honest I literally don't have any other art to post for maxwells bday. its just this. jm too sick to draw anything new tonight. sorry. it was a request from a friend on call. happy birthday maxwell. I guess.

The thing about Maxwil is that they always find each other no matter what, whether they like it or not they will keep finding each other even if they’re not searching for each other it’s cuz a villain can’t exist without a hero and a person who tries to better themselves can’t exist without someone who believes in them, no matter where they are and how they would act they will keep finding each other and they will keep changing each other do u get it

this doesn't apply to people who goofily clown on him btw (bc i do it too. and i think everyone should do it it's fun), but i have ALWAYS gotten really weird vibes around people who unironically, vitriolically hate maxwell, and it's only recently that i've figured out exactly what it is about people like that that miff me out so much:

don't starve- storywise, themewise- relies heavily on maxwell to get those points across. and not just in the sense that he's a main character, but in how interwoven the overall ideology is in almost every action he performs.

don't starve is about pride. it's about hubris. it's about wanting something badly, and about how much you're willing to sacrifice to get your hands on it. don't starve is about self inflicted torture. don't starve is about chain reactions- hurting the people around you through your decisions, no matter how minuscule. it's about the vicious cycle of power hunger, and the fact there's nothing anyone can do to stop it from repeating.

don't starve is about loneliness, even when surrounded by others. it's about emptiness, even when physically sated. it's about a pain that will never go away. it's about losing nearly everything you've known about yourself, and replacing it with spare parts to build an almost unrecognizable facsimile of who you used to be; and it's about not knowing whether or not to loathe it for what it made you lose, or to be thankful that you even have it at all.

there is no major theme of don't starve that maxwell doesn't completely embody. and i guess it's just so puzzling to me that people can like don't starve and hate him as a character when he's so essential to the greater story being told. like... idk what are you here for lol
