FUCKING HATEEEEEEEEEEEE FANDOM. like i love fandom but i HATE FANDOM. HARROWHARK IS NOT YOUR PATHETIC WET CAT SHE’S NOT A GREMLIN SHE’S NOT YOUR LITTLE MEOW MEOW. STOP IT RN. SHE’S AN INCREDIBLY CAPABLE NECROMANCER AND AN AMAZINGLY INTELLIGENT PERSON WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE PUT IN AN INCREDIBLY TOUGH SITUATION. she’s fucking 18 y’all. she did what she could and do you know what? she did well for being completely out of her depth and EIGHTEEN GOD FUCJING DAMMIT. i hate it when characters get boiled down to one fandomable aspect of themselves especially in a fandom with such prolific writers and artists (that’s you!) it literally happens with every character. ianthe is not your cool suave boyfriend she’s a desperate young woman. pyrrha is not your dom mommy she’s just been put into a situation where she is surrounded by children. dulcie? guess what: she exists. gideon isn’t a golden retriever silly boy she’s a complex and capable person. gideon the first isn’t some angry dog he’s loyal to his brother that killed him twice over. paul is a cool and interesting character that i want to see more of. I FUCKING HATE THE FANDOMIZATION OF CHARACTERS JESUS CHRISTTTTTTTTTTT KILL ME NOWWW ACTUALLY GOINT INSANE. anyway rant over sorry i dont have any friends that have read tlt so i have to resort to going insane on anon

this was a fun surprise to receive. that aside i Do agree with you it seems very much like the nature of fandom to fall into stereotypes and tropes for characters because its easier to make content when there is a type of script to follow + its more effort to always dissect things and rebuild them for every au scenario. alas everything is always nicer when you can make your own little circle of people to discuss with

you see this is why fandoms for mediocre middling works are actually better than fandoms for excellent works take pjo: author himself doesn't know the timeline he picks and chooses outside of the shit he decided to make canon he absolutely sucks at characterization sometimes everything bad already exists and it is made worse by the fandom but there are people who make it better and they are easier to find and you are provided a clean slate with some characters there is nothing to override and over analyze if there is nothing at all at the beginning you cannot do this to the locked tomb characters because they are written very intently with a clear goal in order to portray them somewhat canonically you will need a very good understanding of the text and sometimes you read something get obsessed but do not delve too hard and end up mangling characters and fandom is supposed to be about the fun and policing others means nothing good but it is a certain trend here sorry to rant in the tags i am pondering the reason i love tlt and pjo but pjo lives in my head rentfree while i rarely ever think about tlt tlt
