My Richard Gecko Shrine!
Am I only doing this so I can excuse myself to yap about his character,yes percisely.
So as we all know hes from the most camp-(ish) movie ever! (From dusk till dawn(1996)). Which just so happens to be one of MY favorite films ever. Shocker right?
Where do I start humm, lets start with this; he's obviously a schizophrenic dude for some odd reson.I'm assuming thats why he's so reckless with everything. I'm actually not sure about the root cause to his 'schizophrenia' (fake fan ikr) but I've seen it more prominently in the series, which is actually quite terrible btw. But yeah I think the point is here that he's like really spiritually 'awake' and others mistake it for either psychosis or some sort of schizo-disorder. Like I said, this is shown really well in the series, as he sees symbols, sigils, and other spiritual signs.
It honestly makes sense as he's also always seen as 'intuitive' and more superstitious by his brother!
Obviously this doesn't make up for his SA behaviour and other not so selfless things. However I do think he is in some way driven to them by said signs I mentioned previously. This might sound ironic, but I've actually psychologically studied his character and as obvious as this may be, he has tendencies of a typical real-life serial killer. However, before you go 'ZEN BUT HE IS' actually no lmao. Serial killers are driven INTENTIONALLY whether its plannng gaps inbetween murders or other things. Richie is actually impulsive and takes no precauion murdering anyone. That's the only difference he has from being a serial killer.
What makes him so similar to one then may you ask? Well, the slow way of speech when hes about to impulsively do something, manipulation (which only his brother withstands) and a drive by a 'possible' mental disorder of course!!
