Having a favorite character you've been attached to for an extended period of time is all fun and games until you feel like you've thought about them so much you've simply run out of things to think. But that bastard still somehow manages to consume your thoughts so you're just repeating the same points until they're so familiar to you they seem obvious and so you wonder if you're missing something. And you wonder if your perception of them is so cemented by this point that if you ARE mischaracterizing them you wouldn't be able to realize it and would miss a lot of important stuff about them when revisiting the source material

#this here is an Envypost. to be clear #though in Envys case another factor is that I have a habit of using them in like projectiony transgender vent art I do #like I try to keep my ''Envy has exactly the same gender stuff going on as me'' type thoughts separate from my genuine attempts...#...to better understand their character/story role but sometimes I feel as if they're adulterating my perception of the guy #4 example Ive multiple times had to remind myself #that Envys hatred of Hohenheim is in no way transphobia related/that Hohenheim didn't betray Envy for being trans #Obviously insane given that I wouldn't even say Envy was intended to be trans in canon but. I'm normal about projection so.#arg the point of this post was how much it sucks that I overthink this character too much yet here I am in the tags failing step 1 #adrien says stuff #fma #fma 03 #Envy #<- usual apologies to all following these; I just like using organizational tags
