Girlies commenting on fanfiction going 'but this is out of character' as if it isn't ✨fan✨✨fiction✨

Like I get it. Sometimes when you read fanfiction you want it to be as reflective of canon as possible. You want to read the character as you know them. But everyone interprets and observes characters differently. Certain plots and events and themes and writing styles will change how a character behaves and presents themselves.

A disgruntled five thousand year old vampire isn't going to have the same personality as a thirty year old goofball firefighter. A jocky high school student isn't going to have the same personality as a grizzled middle-aged hunter who's died 3763755 times and personally thrown hands with god.

More to the point. Fanfiction is an exercise in creative freedom. If I want to turn that uwu twink into a vicious little dumper fire, my god, I'll do it. You can't stop me.

The only true representation of a character is the canon material. Everything else is just how someone else sees that person.
