This is petty fandom salt, BUT... I've been chewing on this phenomenon that I've been calling "Fandom's Darling". It is related to things like "Author's Darling" and "Mary Sue / Gary Stu" and "Protagonist Halo" and all that jazz, where one character gains a peculiar narrative weight in a story.

"Author's Darling" is when a writer has a favorite character, and the world and all other characters sort of get... warped to put the Darling in the spotlight. It's most noticeable in TV shows with multiple writers, when a character you personally like suddenly has their previous characterization destroyed to make another character look good somehow. Every other character might become weirdly incompetent. The Darling's feelings are treated as The Most Important Feelings in any given situation. The logic of the fictional world seems broken past suspension of disbelief in order to validate this one character's beliefs or skillset or some other fantasy. And so on.

"Fandom's Darling" is what I've been calling the pattern where a fandom essentially crowns a New Protagonist for their fanfiction stories (it's often a side character rather than the original protagonist, but it can also happen to protagonists). This character becomes the self-insert for all sorts of indulgent fantasies, gaining special powers or backstories, and/or becoming the focus of extreme whump, and/or hooking up with all the various hotties, starring in all sorts of tropey AUs, and so on. They're not always an obvious Mary Sue version of themselves, but the character's original personality and interpersonal relationships tend to get warped or dropped completely, and other characters tend to become a little flat around them. I call it "Fandom's Darling" because it's not just one self-indulgent fantasy fic (you do you! Have fun!) with characterization choices that I don't vibe with (I have neither the time nor the desire nor the authority to police anything, I am just venting), but rather a prolific mini-fandom of sorts revolving around this empty doll / fanon version of the chosen vessel character, so it becomes a little unavoidable.

I am salty about this (mildly frustrated) (imagine a soft sigh of disappointment before I just go do something else) because you are FUCKED if you actually liked the canonical version of this character and their interpersonal relationships. It's almost worse than liking an obscure character that no one cares about. There's about a thousand fics starring your fave, but maybe only about a dozen of them are actually rooted in any kind of recognisable canon.

FINALE REWRITE

By: Dr. Spectre

it's finally time to show y'all what I've been cooking.

This will be in a script format because that is where I feel the most comfortable as a writer, plus games are written in this format.

This rewrite will take into account that you have read through the Squid Sisters Stories as well as the Sunken Scrolls.

Once you have pressed read more, you will get bombared with over 20 pages of writing, so be forewarned...

Anyhow, ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn - Room of Angel 2004

Silent Hill 4: The Room is a 2004 survival horror game developed by Team Silent, a group in Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and published by Konami. The fourth installment in the Silent Hill series, the game was released in Japan in June and in North America and Europe in September, for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Windows. Its soundtrack was released alongside the game in 2004. It was composed by Akira Yamaoka with lyrics written by Joe Romersa and series writer Hiroyuki Owaku, and sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. The Japanese version featured a second disc containing music by series composer Akira Yamaoka played along to the reading of traditional Japanese stories.

"Room of Angel" plays during the start-menu sequence when the screen is left idle, during the opening credits (albeit with no lyrics), and during Cynthia Velasquez's death scene. Some of the lyrics seem to relate to Cynthia, while others refer directly to Walter Sullivan's relationship with Room 302 - his "mother" - and his absent biological parents. The song also plays at the end of a 16-minute preview of "Inescapable Rain in Yoshiwara", the ghost story included with the Japanese release of the game's soundtrack.

"Room of Angel" received a total of 67,1% yes votes!
