#like .. i love redeemed acronix stuff . but imo its either both or neither

[al-luviec]

Don't even get me STARTED on this !!!

I cannot stand when people act like Krux is the evil one and that Acronix wasn't a willing party on what happened. Yes, he does want to make his brother happy (shown when he lied about wanting to go back to when there was no technology), but that doesn't equal him feeling forced to go along with things!!

They work as one! That's where the whole "hands of time" thing even comes from. You can tell time without both hands!! Their plan would've never worked / made it as far as they did if neither of them was 100% for it. Krux is more of the plan maker than Acronix (he even sits in the pilot seat of the Iron Doom), BUT Acronix quite literally enjoys going along with them.

I saw a fic where Acronix got upset with Krux for kidnapping Ray and Maya... and where he didn't actually want to take Cyrus. When Krux was having the vermillion warrior destroy stuff in the Borg store, Acronix got upset with him!! "Aren't we supposed to be kidnapping Cyrus Borg?" AND he makes a big fuss about their plan *potentially* not working because they don't have enough snakes.

"Krux is toxic!" ... "Acronix didn't want to do it!!" yeah, I totally believe that /sar. Because Acronix 100% didn't want to hit Wu with the time punch, and he didn't offer to 'put him out of his misery'. He totally didn't fight every single ninja and lead to the monastery being EVEN MORE burnt than it was before. When Kai was at the museum, he totally didn't want to suggest "handling" it instead of trying to distract him (WHICH KRUX DID AS SAUNDERS). He totally wasn't the one who actually knocked Zane into robot unconscious, and who actually pushed Cyrus' wheelchair AND who grabbed him by the shirt collar and snatched him up after they ~lost to Kai and Nya.

AND THAT'S JUST A FEW EXAMPLES.

Acronix was sooo on board with the plan, it was like he thrived from the violence. He makes fun of Wu when he's sick and dying. He tried to KILL KAI with the time punch (and didn't care when it hit Ray). When Krux reasons with Acronix and tells him (and Machia) to stand down when Ray takes the dragon blade, Acronix says he wishes there was a reason to fight.

Krux plans stuff out. He's constantly waiting for the best time to strike / make a move. Acronix just rushes into battle "like a blunt object" according to his official character description. Krux has to stop him from fighting people !!

Like yes, I do have a bit of an issue with how Krux is written in the later episodes -> "Why do you have to ruin every good thing." isn't something I see him actually saying to his brother. But 99% of what people say is "toxic" is just them disagreeing. Because they're separate people!!! They won't agree on every little thing 😭 especially when it comes to technology.

I have a whole thing on why Krux hates technology -> he wants to go back to 40 years ago... which is before he lost his brother. His hatred for advancements mostly comes from his hatred of his life being altered forever. For those 40 years as Saunders, he couldn't really act on his hatred for the elemental alliance so it went elsewhere. The world around him changed, but he didn't. He couldn't change!! He wasn't himself without Acronix there!!!

Which is also why I hate when people act like Krux is a bigot ??? Just because he doesn't like TVs, doesn't mean he is an awful terrible person. Just like how Acronix enjoying it doesn't make him a bad person. Everyone can have their preferences 😭 and he only really had a big issue with Acronix using that stuff when it was distracting from the plan. "We must find the time blade!!" -> cue Acronix on his watch. Krux has been working on this plan for 40 years, if I spent FOUR DECADES on something I'd be a stickler for getting it done ASAP.

Convinced anyone who thinks the twins hate each other haven't actually seen the season OR don't have siblings. Them fighting is more like basic sibling bickering. There's more instances of them being nice to each other than the other way. Acting like Krux doesn't love Acronix is insane to me because he quite literally spent more than half of his life on a plan that revolves around him coming back. Even though he's offscreen, we can infer Krux was the one who initiated their hug when they finally reunited!! He loves his brother !! He's not abusive or toxic or anything else I've seen people say 😭

Both time twins had a role in their betrayal. Both time twins were responsible for what happened in season 7!! They're both bad people but they're bad people *together* and that's the point of their characters !!! Guys !!!

I DID NOT SEE SOMEONE SAY KRUX IS TOXIC TO ACRONIX. HUH?? DID WE WATCH THE SAME HANDS OF TIME??
