It may not count as a secret, but try telling certain shippers that. *sighs*

[rubbertea]

but you don't understand, if they don't resolve any conflict by fucking and/or breaking in tears to guilt-trip the other, they're not meant to be!!!

[(Anonymous)]

It ws a bad idea to read your comment while drinking. Laughed out loud ;)

[rubbertea]

i wrote it while drinking, so cheers!

[(Anonymous)]

With one hand?

Was it alcohol? You make me want alcohol.

[rubbertea]

yup! it was urbock beer :D

[rubbertea]

i know right? there are so many delicious ones! (though that one was actually austrian)

[skippydelicious]

Oh this so much. You just can't explain character based actions to some people, just because theoretically a character could do something does not mean it is in their nature to actually do it.

[(Anonymous)]

OMG this.

I once saw someone on Tumblr respond to another person making the same point as you that 'TV series have loads of writers and different directors so actually just about any characterisation is in character, because there is no set character anyway.'

I just... D:

[skippydelicious]

Ugh. That is just...ugh. You can maybe get away with that for the first few episodes where the writers and characters are still being formed, but if a show has been running for more than half a season then there'll be a pretty fixed amount of character traits and while some writers or directors might have a looser grasp than others, it is still broadly consistent.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT Precisely. Not to mention, the actor ties it all together. That's their *job*.

[allkindsoffur]

This!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it's pretty much a secret to a lot of people on tumblr. I wouldn't dare say this myself in several circles.

[(Anonymous)]

I get that frustration too.

It isn't just limited to fanfiction. Redemption and reconciliation don't exist! These two people would never ever act a certain way under any circumstance whatsoever! It's like god forbid characters can be anything other than black or white.

[(Anonymous)]

I made the mistake of saying pretty much this. Predictably, I was dogpiled. *sigh*

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, characters can be flawed. But there is a difference between writing them as flawed and writing them as OOC.

[(Anonymous)]

Also, you don't love a person for what they do, you love them for who they are. That's why people can forgive and stand by SOs who do bad things, especially when the bad thing is an aberration.

Also also, people don't have switches they can use to turn off feelings, so if they fall in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate, staying in love with them isn't OMG skeevy, it's how feelings work. (Stalking is, of course, a different matter).

Also also also, it's not the job of stories to turn every single character into a bland, boring, redeemed automaton. Different characters fulfil different functions in a story and it's ok for a story to have villains. The story's meaning is in the sum of its parts.
