Born Maybe?Welcome to autism subway can i get you the same thing you've ordered here since you were 8
Myyy problem with a lot of ship content is that people have this tendency to make the characters, like… too normal. If you want to see your favorite little guys just happy and well adjusted that’s your prerogative but To Me a lot of the most interesting pairings are fun because they’re both being weird about it. I don’t want to sand down my freaks I want to study them. Sometimes their dynamics in canon are better
I’m not saying I want it to be unhealthy per se. Just weirder. Some characters I can see being happily married and cutesy and all but for some characters it’s crucial that they’re not being normal about it
it's wild that virtually all modern digital infrastructure is built to constantly spy on us and harvast our data for advertising yet online advertsing is still basically worthless and nobody seems to actually be benefitting from all this

Everybody’s like oh why do the bird people in Zelda eat poultry and the fish people eat fish but humans eat mammals so
Like you think the humanoid fish people are the same species as a trout? No.
Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!
Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.
Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)
Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.
Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!
Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks
Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!
Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row
This is the world I want to live in.
Quest: a retired Big Bad wants to curse their enemies but at this point has more treasure than mana so they want to hire the party as Curse Boys
i really love when a character, calmly and completely earnestly, is like i’m not important, i’m no one really, just a blade that people use and throw away. no one remembers me for long after i leave their life. and then you look at the evidence and it turns out that every person who meets them becomes permanently obsessed with them, for better and for worse, and the character has somehow completely missed this fact
