I think its so important for everyone to learn to like characters because of their negative traits instead of in spite of them. Like there is so much joy and whimsy to be experienced once you get to a place where hating smth abt a character inevitably leads to loving them dearly because of that same trait

#rat rambles #to be clear I do not mean a love to hate sorta relationship #I mean looking a character who you find annoying and going I love that theyre annoying they should be more annoying #and I say annoying because thats a common complaint ppl have abt characters they dont like but I do generally hate that complaint #usually what this really means is theyre a woman or neurodivergent or a poc or a child or they have a personality like at all #annoying isnt a descriptor of a character its a description of your feelings on the character and as such it means absolutely nothing #it is nowhere near a legitimate criticism of a character and their writing #but yeah my ability to enjoy media greately increased when I learned how to like characters I dont like #now this doesnt apply to everything but like its still a good exercise to try and find the appeal of things you dont like for petty reasons #digging through my drafts and I was so real with this why didnt I post it smh
