Im Bored And Have No Life - Tumblr Posts

Okay you know how there are a lot of fanfics that deal with characters who read/watched a series getting put in it and having to figure out how not to irreparably mess up the plot? And they’re great, but consider these scenarios too:

A: The character hasn’t ever heard of it before;

It allows for nice interaction between characters that is still from a different perspective (often able to shed light on something being unethical/unjust without the “i know your full backstory” or bias towards characters)

B: The character only has messed up details cause it was ten-fifteen years ago that they read it, and it wasn’t even that great anyway

It allows for a lot of shenanigans (i know this is important but how/oh yeah that happens/so thats why this character was important/why did i like this character again) as well as confused but got the spirit. Furthermore, they know just enough to be kinda sus but can get away with it. (Like idk, remembering that that person’s favorite color is magenta because they personally hate it, or that they are allergic to kiwi, but not that the character’s brother is the one who betrays them and the wife has the clues)

And C: They have spent so much time reading fanfiction that they have forgotten how canon actually goes and so don’t know any plot points, just how the characters will act/respond really well.

(And then characters can in turn be suspicious, impressed or confused, because they can read all of their favorite cast really well, but are terrible at everyone else).
