Having a side character that you're invested in to an. Abnormal degree within fandom is a. special kind of frustrating. cause DAMN, that character gets mischaracterized frequently in little ways so often, but if I say anything, it'll sound like I'm nuts. Cause it's not One Thing. It's more like an ever looming shadow and I know EXACTLY why it happens but noooot enough ppl are on board with tackling why they think/assume the things they do in order to change. Soooo :/

#yeah lemme put a fat character in fandom; watch him for me 'kay?...oh no #theyve either made him creepy; incapable; or 'the innocent one'. OR ALL OF THOSE. despite. many of those going directly against canon.#its not one person its not one consistent through line its just #a lot of little things that make a very weird and frankly uncomfortable pattern once you notice it #'oh dont think i could see him in a relationship idk why! i just cant!'#'lets ignore the fact that its established that hes a good shot so i can take an unnecessary jab at him in passing. for no reason really!'#'hed be soooo neevous about swearing. despite him. swearing the most out of the trio'#(dont. quote me on that its 3am. but he swears. many times.)#and many more! and i feel weird for noticing but wow it happens. frequently and it makes me upset! dooont know what to do bout it tho #hmmmmmmm.#txt
