#Joy when a character w a facial patch does evil deeds for a dead guy but breaks out and becomes a better person:

[aquatic-batt]

I love that there is an Incredibly Specific character type that I tend to love that not only did I coincidentally fall in love w two characters matching that type w/o realizing the similarities, I also accidentally made TWO characters that fit this exact type w/o realizing it

like apparently I tend to like characters (usually female) easily manipulated by some dead person from beyond the grave (usually male) into doing violent acts for said dead person, realizing a little too late how bad what they’re doing is, feeling trapped, but eventually (hopefully) finding a way to break themselves out of the cycle and become a better person

oh, and they’re often depicted as having a patch on their face different from their base color

like Ivypool and Vanny fit this trope?? to a fucking T?? which is so funny to me bc I didn’t realize it at first yet both of them are my favorite characters from the media they’re from

then to top it off I accidentally/coincidentally recreated this idea twice w my ocs?? first w Blackice being a mostly black cat w a white patch on their face being a mes cat manipulated by Dark Forest warriors to help destroy the Clans, then w my ClanGen oc Skywind, a mostly gray cat w an orange patch on her face who was mysteriously seen messing w death berries the moon before Flutterstar died so I created a plotline where a Dark Forest cat convinced her to kill Flutterstar so that the DF cat’s daughter could become deputy and hopefully leader…I just have a very, very specific character type that I like huh
