It's funny/spooky, and from a book that doesn't really get much fanart

It's insane that there hasn't been a graphic novel adaptation of this novel.

Because people didn't read the book and all they know is Judge Holden is supposed to be LE EVIL, which he is, of course, but through the book people keep treating him as if he came off as very likable and trustworthy.

Because deviantart and blood meridian share the same fanbase.

Judge Holden is such a good character, but sadly very few people understand him. A couple years ago I wrote an effort post on reddit explaining why he represents cowardice, but obviously the redditors didn't get it.

Honestly I'm with you anon. To me Judge Holden just seems like one of those hobos you meet sometimes who are surprisingly eloquent. Also before I read the book I saw the things existing without my consent quote and thought it was intimidating but within the context of the story it just seems like a cope.
