honestly my favourite thing about skeletondance is that Wander is literally Hater's shoulder angel and Peepers's jealous ass (like fr i have never seen a more jealous male character who wasnt like an ex boyfriend) is essentially his shoulder devil.

My interpretation is that Hater chooses to be evil partly because it's fun and gives him a rush of pride and other red emotions but also because of Peepers's influence. Hater probably WOULD enjoy being good if he (and Peeps) let him(self). I mean you could make a compilation of all the times Peepers had to force Hater to focus on doing evil deeds, and you could argue that that's just because Hater's hate is so strong but I like to think that that is kind of a representation of Hater's morality anyway. Shoulder devil.

Its so funny to me how this man is so determined to not do anything nice because "ew thats gay" that he overcompensates and physically reacts with disgust at any positive vibes like some kinda Megamind feedback-aversion. And we know this isn't just him genuinely not consenting because there's multiple episodes where Hater gets to (or is dragged into) hang(ing) out with Wander and he genuinely enjoys himself and it's almost like letting loose. It's this weird almost fanfic-y enemies-to-lovers thing where- I just realized what it is. Hater is a tsundere.

Lord Hater from Wander Over Yonder is a tsundere.

Idk man I just have so many thoughts about this love triangle and its so funny to me that this show clearly meant for children had this kinda dynamic. Wander Over Yonder has some really... interesting relationships! I'm rambling now but idc because I don't know how to organize these thoughts so y'all are just gonna have to take these! Idek if I'm contributing anything new to the Fandom! Please if anyone has any recs where Hater is just being top exaggerated "ew gross!" While secretly enjoying it i would thank you immensely and also could we be friends?
