I hate when two characters with the same love interest (regardless of who is dating who at the time) interact in fics and it's clear the writer assigned who would be jealous as either some sort of moral failing or a way to put the jealous character down, instead of people being real about a character's personality. Some people just aren't going to be that jealous! Even around a partner's ex, or an ex's new partner! And sometimes someone is going to feel jealous because that's just a character flaw they have, and that also doesn't make them a bad person. Idk the use of jealousy in fanfiction is so incredibly weird, I hate it

#sorry thinking of those dw fics where companions/doctors cross timelines lol #and ppl love to make river jealous of rose and its like ... be so serious #river is just not that type of person for better or for worse #(depending on her timeline this might be for self esteem reasons or she might just want a threesome)#and then rose is always the nice one and its like... rose on the otherhand canonically can be jealous #over the doctor #and thats fine that isnt a moral failing on her part #shes young! its gonna happen #anywaybthis doesnt just happen in dw fic bht its what prompted the post
