Now that i think about it, he can probably feel when he might explode and has probably only ever been close to nearly exploding like at least more than once during the server's history.
ooohooo..... *gently holds this headcanon* yeah, that's a good one, this is a ripe one, i like this one.
Like can you imagine what being close to literally exploding must feel like?? not even the EXPLODING part but for some reason the BUILDUP to the KABOOM is what horrifies me. Just. Ow ow ow owo wowo owwowow ow
i wonder what his first time seeing a Creeper explosion was like. I like to imagine little Creeper Kid Sam who knows he's a little Creeper hybrid and then sees an actual Creeper and is like "that must be my brother! hello brother!"!!! and then the Creeper goes BAM and he's just left standing there. staring. at a hole in the ground and a pile of gunpowder.
