some samsons.
ngl ive had trouble nailing down what his whole deal is but i think ive finally figured it out
#TAGCEN#its less about a reveal that he is not a virtuous good guy (big deal. literally not surprising)#but more about him straight up being a fairweather hero. and everyone feeling validated when he finally drops the pretense#so instead of samson and chip being ''good & evil'' its more like ''dishonest pretender hero & earnest upfront villain''#at least chip is open about being a menace. you know not to trust that guy cuz he'll backstab you for fun#samson weaponizes ambiguity in his favor which is arguably worse because you can bait yourself into trusting him#so his image is considered good because its always compared to someone even worse.#why did i get hung up on how to depict him as an actual good guy. (bonks my own head) eto blehhh#ah i guess i did like the idea of a corruption angle. but i couldnt fit all those puzzle pieces together in a story thats not about him
