a bit sad to see fic writers take "this character isn't as mean as they may initially seem/they're only mean on the outside but soft on the inside" and run with it in the opposite direction by never making them mean at all. this isn't adressing their nuance this is just removing another aspect of their character 😔

and like i know that for some it's a response to haters and other misunderstanders who insist they're purely mean, and so said writers (and the character's fans as a whole) try to prove otherwise/try to explore said hidden side and just go a little too far with it. but man does it make me sad to see my boy massacred like this. give him his flavor back 💔

#you know who this is about 😩#but it's true abt so many characters. and many other tropes #another example i can think of is dazai and how sometimes fics make him so vulnerable that they forget what he's like in canon #as in. they want him to express his feelings but forget that he doesn't do it like a normal person. for example #i can't actually blame anyone for the ratio thing tho he seems so hard to write. his dialogue alone requires an english degree fr #mandatory disclaimer of 'not shading anyone this is a harmless thing i'm just letting out frustration over a fandom thing'
