Anyway I Know That Probably Made No Sense But I Made A Post Anyway Lol - Tumblr Posts

I’m increasingly realizing that almost all of my opinions about fictional characters revolve around the version of them I have in my head.

Example: I like D*an W*nchester, but ONLY the version of him I have in my head, because canon D*an is basically the embodiment of toxic masculinity. The version in my head is able to learn from his mistakes and, y’know, emote and doesn’t treat everyone in his life like utter crap.

Counterexample: I hate T*ny St*rk, because the version of him in my head is a complete capitalist asshole with no character development. Now, I think that T*ny in canon probably has a deeper character than that, but that’s how he exists in my head.

So anyway I just think it’s interesting and important to realize that when I’m reading criticisms and opinions about characters I love or hate, that the characters others are talking about may not line up with the characters in my head.

Quick disclaimer: I haven’t paid any attention to canon Supernatural since like 2017, and I’ve forgotten most of what actually happens. So maybe D*an isn’t as bad as I remember but based on gifs and opinions I’ve seen, he’s pretty much an asshole.
