the webisode “An Hexclusive Invitation” aka faybelle’s introduction webisode pisses me off so bad

and it’s all because of how they introduce her. hopper comes up to her and they proceed to have this unnatural sounding conversation where they force-feed information in regards to faybelle. which yeah a lot of media does but ever after high literally has NARRATORS, CHARACTERS THAT SERVE AS PLOT DEVICES AS AN EXCUSE TO SPOON FEED EXPOSITION, and yet they DIDN’T USE THEM instead opting to talk through the characters like bro ARE YOU SERIOUS???

instead we need hopper asking, “Hey are you Faybelle Thorn daughter of the dark fairy from Sleeping Beauty and head cheerhexer at the school Ever After High from hit series Ever After High?,” and faybelle telling him, “Yes, I am Faybelle Thorn daughter of the dark fairy from Sleeping Beauty and head cheerhexer who attends the school Ever After High from hit Mattel franchise Ever After High and i’m an evil character.”

Bioware going with Laash as the Harding/Taash pairing when Hardash was right there baffles me

I keep seeing people ask what the point of bt was and it was literally just to get buck out of the closet lol that man was a plot device from day one to get him out of the closet and openly bi and then to peace out eventually. That’s literally it lmao. This is a tv show with plot points they want to make happen and they need plot device characters to make that happen and then write them off because they aren’t important anymore. Temu did his job and that’s it lol. Buck is openly bi now and now he can explore that outside of temu.

This is petty fandom salt, BUT... I've been chewing on this phenomenon that I've been calling "Fandom's Darling". It is related to things like "Author's Darling" and "Mary Sue / Gary Stu" and "Protagonist Halo" and all that jazz, where one character gains a peculiar narrative weight in a story.

"Author's Darling" is when a writer has a favorite character, and the world and all other characters sort of get... warped to put the Darling in the spotlight. It's most noticeable in TV shows with multiple writers, when a character you personally like suddenly has their previous characterization destroyed to make another character look good somehow. Every other character might become weirdly incompetent. The Darling's feelings are treated as The Most Important Feelings in any given situation. The logic of the fictional world seems broken past suspension of disbelief in order to validate this one character's beliefs or skillset or some other fantasy. And so on.

"Fandom's Darling" is what I've been calling the pattern where a fandom essentially crowns a New Protagonist for their fanfiction stories (it's often a side character rather than the original protagonist, but it can also happen to protagonists). This character becomes the self-insert for all sorts of indulgent fantasies, gaining special powers or backstories, and/or becoming the focus of extreme whump, and/or hooking up with all the various hotties, starring in all sorts of tropey AUs, and so on. They're not always an obvious Mary Sue version of themselves, but the character's original personality and interpersonal relationships tend to get warped or dropped completely, and other characters tend to become a little flat around them. I call it "Fandom's Darling" because it's not just one self-indulgent fantasy fic (you do you! Have fun!) with characterization choices that I don't vibe with (I have neither the time nor the desire nor the authority to police anything, I am just venting), but rather a prolific mini-fandom of sorts revolving around this empty doll / fanon version of the chosen vessel character, so it becomes a little unavoidable.

I am salty about this (mildly frustrated) (imagine a soft sigh of disappointment before I just go do something else) because you are FUCKED if you actually liked the canonical version of this character and their interpersonal relationships. It's almost worse than liking an obscure character that no one cares about. There's about a thousand fics starring your fave, but maybe only about a dozen of them are actually rooted in any kind of recognisable canon.

Yeah well you can't expect Americans to know or suggest solutions for non-Americans. It's on us to come up with those.

But it is annoying when it has this "what's YOUR excuse" tone or "X is sO cHeAp because it's only Y USD" yeah maybe for you but that's like twice as much in my local currency and I have about the same income and expenses in that currency that you have in USD.
