Player Appreciation - Tumblr Posts

I need some more Player Appreciation around here. It makes me sad that there's barely any fics with Player hanging out with their friends. Writers always make an excuse for Player not being there, when likely all they want is to hang out with their friends without the constant threat of something over their shoulder. In fact, there are multiple fics that make other characters take on the help center requests instead. It makes me believe that the fandom doesn't like Player despite the fact out of all the characters, we quite literally see their actions and how it affects others. Yet writers choose to ignore them. So many people's lives have been just changed for the better or even just made a bit brighter all due to Player's actions. > Take Alice, her current arc is that she's learning to stand up for herself, even taking up battling and sticking by her love of ice types even when ice is considered a weak type. > Even take Wayfarer Jack, he finally found purpose in battling Player and just giving him something to do. > Or even take Cassidy, who found a friend in Player even predicting they would take her request. Even the main cast has different views on Player! > Quincy views Player as one of their close friends, being there when he was having trust issues. Quincy speaks up about being back-up and is upset when Player faces Tinsley, likely because he feels useless, not being able to take that weight off their shoulders. > Suzie of course is best friends with Player, no questions asked. She hypes them up and keeps bringing them back into the conversation and never leaves them out of it. Suzie wants her own doodle after the Oasis likely due to seeing Player do everything for her. > Tj right now, might be going through a villain arc, but he considers Player his friend, he's just disappointed in himself that he can't stand next to them or even beat them once. Player is such a sweetheart and a saint. Doing so much. Yet barely being recognized for it.
