OK LET’S TALK ABOUT MAXIMILIEN

SO. He’s just. So pure and innocent. But also he’s a soldier- which is something I keep forgetting- probably because the entire fandom portrays him as pure and innocent. 

Also I think he’s like cannonly 30 something? But everyone’s like NOPE he’s totally in his early 20s. Which is kinda the same thing we all do for Hamlet. I guess when an author decides a character’s too old, we’re all like NOPE he’s whatever age we want!  Because yeah a 30 something guy with an ~18 year old  girl is kinda not too good…

Anyway. Something else no one mentions is how he saved Chateau-Renaud (or however you spell his name) this one time, and because of that CR was like “hey I’m gonna introduce you to The Friend Group.” And ever since that day he started hanging out with the cool kids. Good for him!

AND OF COURSE I have to mention that his relationship with Valentine is one of the most stable and functional relationships in the book. The rank list of Stable and Functional Relationships is:

1. Emmanuel and Julie

2. Eugenie and Louise 

3. Teresa and Luigi

4. Maximilian and Valentine 

You may be thinking that that’s not too high up on the list. But there are a ton of relationships in the book, so compared to all of them theirs is impressively stable and functional.
