I have now twice started a long long fic with an amazing plot/premise and stellar writing only for it to devolve, for no goddamn reason, into a 100,000 word ‘interlude’ where the main character gets hyper-omniscient therapy that somehow fixes everything and nothing matters anymore

#hollypunkerspost #i am now going to avoid ‘fix it’ on fics forever #stop fixing canon. make it worse. where is the drama?? where is the plot?!#instead of therapy have your mc do drugs and run into a wall to avoid his problems #rant #also you cant turn real historical figures into aliens without warning that was insane #99% of characters are not gunna do therapy or do it well #what happened to the: therapist told me something that was slightly off because i didnt give them the full context #and now i blame my therapist instead of my mistakes #why is it just ‘they go to therapy’ and suddenly there is NO MORE of that cool plot #and every character who is slightly older is suddenly wise and knows the context for everything everyone does #are these fucking omniscient therapists telling everyone what is happening?#omniscient therapists ruining everything damn #WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TWICE #i am just so personally annoyed
