>>3976212You know, I was thinking about how the majority of MystChaos art/fic seems to make Chaos too cool and confident, kinda like Victor but more self-aware? I've noticed lately that MystChaos has been getting a lot more fan attention, with some even saying they love it but dislike Bunny for being boring. That's fair enough, everyone has different tastes, but the whole point of MystChaos is that it's Bunny putting on a performance. Chaos's appeal has always been that he's a cutie who acts like a hammy supervillain but sucks at actually doing anything evil.
Going a little deeper, Butters has always been deeply lonely and cared about others so much it hurt, so he pretends to be a cold-hearted monster to mask that pain from everyone (ESPECIALLY himself), but he's too genuinely kind to actually do anything mean. Similarly, Kenny lives in constant fear of pain and death to the point that he's essentially become a background character to avoid any sort of attention despite his moments in the spotlight showing him to be a rambunctious goofball at heart (I know the real reason is the writers getting fed up with his muffled speaking, but analyzing him like this is more fun). But when he puts on the mask, he's an aloof force of nature who totally doesn't care about normal kid stuff, and is even able to weaponize his curse in a way that makes him feel more in control.
Maybe the issue is that we haven't actually had enough canon MystChaos interaction to solidify their dynamic in the fandom eye, similarly to how pre-Going Native Bunny often had Kenny being mean to Butters. But from what we've seen so far, Chaos is fixated on Mysterion being his legit rival, rather ironically since the Coon is his actual foil (a hero who sucks at being good), because Mysterion is sooo coool, and maybe they could even hang out after the fight or something!
