@kirlias452, @kamithekaze,
#they could never make me hate you dr maniac#dr maniac#i love dr maniac#they don't understand you like I do#goosebumps#goosebumps horrorland#short version: read my Dr. Maniac essay#but if you don't have time for that#i'll explain it for you#as iffy as his first book is#dr maniac is actually such a fantastic character#he's spunky funny actually smart#isn't a misogynist#a leader like person#roasts slappy like an absolute badass#but above all#he actually has his own thoughts and feelings#that mini panic attack in the Keeper's Lair was really well done#and i actually felt really sorry for him#'i always promised myself a happy ending!' still hits so damn hard#he's not even trying to be sympathetic#he genuinely thought the Menace would kill him because he thought he killed Robby#his own creator mind you#he's also the only villain to ever be offered a hand of redemption#that is HUGE#in a series where villains are stoic 1D cutouts with no redeeming qualities#that moment is EVERYTHING TO ME#Maniac is probably the only Goosebumps villain that could in fact reform in canon#why do you think i reformed him in the platinumverse#dr maniac sugar
