I have come to announce that after much research, I have come to the educated conclusion that I am a Raoul the Chagny kinnie
Do you ever get annoyed with people mischaracterizing your more complex characters like Knofe or Silver? Since both of them can be seen as *bad,* but if people pay more attention to the narrative them and other characters are actually a lot better than they seem at first.
Uhhh. Hm. I'd say not really. Everyone's had their bad moments. And sometimes those bad moments are more significant to some than others. That's life.
I'm always interested to see what people take away from the characters and their choices and how they change. In the case of a character who generally changes for the better, not everyone's going to forgive. But being good isn't done for forgiveness, it's done for, well, being good.
But I guess this is more about mischaracterization than criticism, yeah? Characters are complicated. So I'm fine seeing people more drawn to one aspect of a character than another. If that's what someone's takeaway is, then that's their experience. Even on the II writing team itself, characters can be written slightly differently, even if not easily perceivable. I think if I briefly stepped away from the II team and watched a new episode made without me, I'd easily be able to tell if it was written by Adam, Brian, or someone else. I can do that with some shows, too, but I'll quit elaborating for the sake of not sounding nerdy (Steven Universe my beloved, but that becomes easier cause each writer is also storyboarding and they have distinct styles, oh no I'm elaborating).
But yeah! Characters are cool and flexible and that's kinda the point of them in fiction. We like writing a lot of them to be complex, but unlike real people, characters exist in stories to complete a purpose narratively. And that'll dictate characterization to a degree. So, lil nunanced changes are welcome. And more notable changes, too, why not. I guess I'm thinking more from a fanfic lens more-so than a discussion-of-characters lens, but it's all the key tenants of viewer interpretation being valuable, but it's always a plus to see people, on average, having the intended takeaway. And good on you, trying to see a character from every angle!
My only argument I'll ever bring to the Mephone4 age discourse is that I want everyone to realize how BAD it would make AE look. What do I mean by this? You. You guys know that AE is pretty aware of Mephone4 being shipped with the contestants, right. Taylor used to have beef with Mephone4 x OJ when he was still a member of the crew. You guys realize that if Mephone4 was ACTUALLY meant to be a kid, it would make AE look horrible? Like, they WOULD'VE said it if they didn't want people to ship him with anyone. But they have not.
oughh the new hfjone short was so good. parker's story is so sad and you can tell he's mentally fucked up not to mention that their FRIENDS think he's responsible for her disappearance and unless the police actually puts together a case of all the victims he'll never know peace or have proof of his innocence. there's no proof of what happened & he blames himself. and charlotte is never going to come back, she's never going to be okay again and will never have the chance to apologize :( also fuck that one asshole cop. How is he even employed (ACAB but still he's a fucking pyschopath)
