Do you ever think about how all of tmTeam Snakemouth mirrors Hoaxe?
Leif: suddenly has magic & left behind to die
Kabbu: lost everything he ever cared about and wants revenge
Vi: lack of acceptance to the point where it causes major snap decisions that change the fate of the world
They all also want to feel safe. (Team Snakemouth weren't really safe until they were with each other. Kabbu was on a crash course with getting killed for revenge, Vi was a child who ran away from home and didn't really have anyone to turn to, Leif was trapped in the most dangerous place in Bugaria at the mercy of a spider that didn't notice they were still alive. Hoaxe literally says that he wants immortality for the safety it offers.)
If Team Snakemouth never joined forces they could have ended up the villains. They honestly could have become villains until you beat chapter 3 (at that point Vi is invested in the heroic feels of saving people- please note that's about when she gets less agressive about rewards, its still there just less, Venus didn't do that saving peoples lives did- and we all know Kabbu and Leif want Vi to be happy, thats a genuine part of their motivations, I will fight you on this don't think I didnt notice the two of them keep purposely inserting Vi into conversations with small comments when people arent paying attention that is their bee daughter I will die on this hill).
Honestly if they didn't grow together they probaby would have been the villains in another story.
There are nice and cruel ways to get what they went into this whole adventure for.
Hi could have done a whole lotta crimes, too many to list really, for her freedom.
Kabbu could have put up request after request to have the Beast killed for his revenge, never stopping until his revenge was fulfilled.
Leif wanted answers. They (assuming they got out on their own) could possibly have let every monster and Zombified bug out of Snakemouth Den with just a press of magic in the right places to break through the doors (it is in major amounts of disrepair and has been for a while judging by all of the moss on the fallen pillars) and let Bugaria be overrun.
Hoaxe could have easily been just another guy or the hero of the story. If someone had given him some support.
All 4 of them are characters of tragedy.
The only difference is Team Snakemouth grew past theirs.
(I just think about this a lot)
NO I HAVENT THOUGHT OF THAT AT ALL HELLO???????
i never saw those parallels myself but now that you've pointed it out!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAA
oh yeah team snakemouth could have gone morally reprehensible so easily, kabbu blinded by vengence, vi by anger/fear, and leif by greif.
