I don't really talk about it but scrolling around today I was reminded that I (inhales) really love characters that are complex and messy and maybe meant well but fucked up and hurt people and their motivations might not be right but make sense given their background and

I know this is SUCH a controversial take on Tumblr.com where we love to reduce characters to 2 dimensional fandom versions but I had to say it

#ink thinks #i mean sure ive no doubt been guilty of fandomication in the past. and some of that is consuming media as a younger person #i think a lot of internet discourse can be boiled down into that actually. that teenagers are loud and vocal about what they love #but maybe haven't fully grasped certain complexities yet. which is fine. like its just how things are thats how growth works #BUT. ANYWAYS.#like characters like anakin skywalker who is one of my guys of all time. and there is so much wrong with him #and its undeniable that he did SO much wrong. obviously we all knew that.#but its like its so hard to figure out what's him and what's the result of having an evil grandfatherly figure #purposefully turn his logic processes into mush #AND THATS WHY HES INTERESTING. hes mentally ill he was manipulated from a young age and he decided the answer to this was murder #i understand why people don't like him because he IS genuinely just awful. but so many people reduce him to just that #whereas its like theres so many fucked up reasons hes like that and its fun to disect him under a microscope #i picked him bc hes super well known but i think most of my fandoms i have at least one person like this
