No, I don't want y'all to see the guy/gal as better then they are (unless you are actively misinterpreting them). I want the guy (it's never a gal ;) ) to stop seeing himself as better thean he is and go work on his bs and I want you all to look at my fic (or other fic) where the guy works over his bs and say "yes that makes sense" and not say "no he wouldn't or doesn't deserve or whatever"
I love every take that calls for redemption or loving or seeing a character as better than they otherwise are. I don’t care if you’re wrong or if you disagree with me. I care that you looked at that character and said, ‘I want them to be better.’
