Was gonna make a convoluted post talking about Evil X and Worm Man since y'know I like them a lot as evidenced on this blog but to sum it up, as funny and neat as they are as just plain joke characters they really do feel like foils to each other and I really wish that was shown more.

#player.text #/seed #ex: both their standalone episodes focuses on them facing a problem and having something to prove #however both of them go about it in very different ways #worm man tries to prove he's a hero via a escape room which ends up not proving much in the long run #whereas evil x begrudgingly plays the tag game after being tagged by x in the previous episode all while dying and failing in the process #however he does succeed in the end by tagging jevin #it's also worth noting that the whole reason evil x got tagged in the first place was because x setting up a button for evil x to find #despite the fact evil x was on good terms in the previous season #and in good fashion tag ends up with evil x going back on some habits of theirs although with less explosions and more stealing diamonds #you could say evil x did become evil again but i necessarily don't think so just because of the way he interacts with some of the hermits #okay but all that nonsense i said is just contradictions right? wrong!#okay sort of yeah but what does that say about them #1 wm already knows he's a hero and 2 without the right people ex will succumb to said old villainous ways #they both need each other. a friend really #evil x helps worm man see that he is a hero not just to himself but to others #which incidentally makes evil x fangirl over him from the one Christmas ep as he shouts worm man's name over and over #and as much as i would say worm man helped evil x see the goodness in themself i would more accurately say he helped them be themself #what i mean is only is wm present in s5 do we even hear/see the other stuff ex has done like sewing flower arrangements and baking #those qualities of ex are even shown in the worm man shop via bloodroses sewing patterns and cookies that THEY MADE #like they could've just presented merch similiar to wm like t-shirts or mug or heck those stupid journals with a logo on the front but no #i also wanna say that both wm and ex have never had an actual conflict or faced off despite both their roles being contradicting at a point #because as soon as ex does something bad to wm via imprisoning him it gets retconned after x stops the voice in their head #and despite ex putting him there wm doesn't see it #oblivious or not wm sees evil x as his sidekick. his friend #anyway if you read through all this wow kudos you deserve a cookie for my bs thank u truly <3
