There Are Two Reasons Why I Didn't Watch The Interview With A Vampire Show.

There are two reasons why I didn't watch the Interview with a Vampire show.

I didn't start the book

I wasn't okay with the casting of Claudia

For those who don't know, and I don't blame you at all, Claudia is a character that goes through the internal conflict of wanting to be seen as an adult but looks and sounds like a child. No matter how many years pass, she will forever look like a child.

In the book, she is 5. In the movie she is 12. I'm forever grateful that the movie made her older, since I wouldn't be okay watching the movie with an actual five year old acting like that.

Regardless, I'll get to the show soon. I know why an older actress was cast, it was to not get in trouble with chid labor laws. Still weird since she looks like an adult, and I don't know how the writing for her conflict worked out.

I literally commented on a video months ago about how Gege seemed like a chill dude to hang out with.

I got a vague death threat and references to JJK that most likely would have made me feel uncomfortable if I read the series.

Mangaka are not a reflection of what they create. I just... what is fucking wrong with people?

Listen, you can’t write perfect characters. No one cares about reading about someone who never screws up. Your characters need to make bad decisions, they need to hurt people, and they need to be hurt. They should doubt themselves and do things they regret. That’s where the magic happens, when they’re flawed, messy, and human. People don’t fall in love with characters because they’re flawless; they fall in love because those characters remind them of the chaos inside themselves. So don’t be afraid to put your characters through hell. Only then will their journey mean something.

Is the first draft of chapter 3 of my fic done? No. Is the second draft of chapter 2 done? No. Am I still going to brainstorm a plot for my fanfiction regardless of my work schedule that I imposed on myself? Yes.
