i am finally discovering a genre of character i actually really relate to! like, i personally relate to them rather than just love them a lot, i can hardly remember when that last happened to me, if ever, so that's cool. unfortunately, that genre of character is "protagonist of a tragedy severely doomed by the narrative and in no small way responsible for their own fate"

#a biscuit's rambles #i meann tbf i dont think its the severe depression they share that gets me #but like. as someone who tends to feel things very deeply and lean into emotions and also teenage hormone bullshit #but who is also severely uninterested in coming of age stuff or ugh romance #these are actually the first characters i remember encountering who were just.#overemotional. unstable. at least a bit depressed. dramatic. occasionally at the edge of losing it. impulsive. chaotic.#and sometimes they hurt people. and their being that emotional isnt usually good! its not like 'oh its okay actually learn to love yourself #the narrative is saying You Need To Get A Grip and thats just.#damn. THAT is relatable #sometimes i get too emotional and thats not always good! i lvoe feeling deeply but sometimes i do just need to get a grip!#and also im a young and unstable person being thrown around in life with no idea what to do next #maybe i have one goal but the rest is like. Happening i guess #and somehow i only see that in my stupid tragedy protags who are dooming themselves (affectionate)#idk. theyre not role models. theyre messy and often stupid and too quick and. theyre incredibly human #also you get a wide range of emotion besides love bc even tho love is very important its far from the only thing happening #looking at you coming of age stuff #(besides the fact that the characters in coming of age stuff usually arent just fucking Weird either so thats already no relatable)#idk i think the last time i looked at a character and went 'oh hey thats me' was when i was seven or eight and i didnt even realise #like only when i reread that book recently #so. idk. its kinda a big thing for me. and also i think its funny as fuck #*reading hamlet * whoa hes like me fr #(okay hamlet not as much as the other guy but still)
