Errr...go ahead I guess?

I only do this to female characters I hate, though (which is rather rare for me at least) or when it's a female character I think is legitimately abusive.

Example of said character: Misa in Death Note. Light's not a good guy by any stretch of the imagination (he's even more evil than her in a lot of ways) but considering she basically blackmailed him into a relationship, hell yeah I'm gonna cast her as an obstacle to L/Light. Plus, she's just...annoying (which is sad because she could have been so much more but the author clearly doesn't give a shit about her).

lol I don't think Misa can be written "badly" in fanfiction. She's badly written in the original. I know she has her fans, and her moments, fine, but she IS obnoxious, manipulative, immature and above all dangerous. She was about to murder any other woman Light went out with. Frankly, I don't put much of anything past her. (Takada's the female character that I felt fandom went to great lengths to butcher)

But then again, she was never a canon love interest for anyone, certainly not Light, so I don't think she really "interferes" with the slash. Nothing and nobody interfered with the slash in Death Note.

AYRT

I know that Light never loved her in canon, but what I meant was that I actively villainize her in my fic.

Example: Light falls for L and Misa finds out and does everything in her power to keep them them apart. That sort of stuff.

ayrt

Yeah, I know, I just mean I don't think actively villainizing her is sabotaging her character at all. If Light fell for L then Misa actually would do everything in her power to keep them apart, probably up to stabbing L herself. Whereas with most female characters who "get in the way" of slash ships, they are unfairly villainized and turned into petty, violent bitches. Misa actually does fit the bill though imo

I think it can depend on interpretation of the character though.

I know for one of my slash ships, the girlfriend has a bit of an elitist streak and really disliked the guy I slash her boyfriend with. In my fic, I tend to play that up.

I also think her boyfriend shows that he cares WAY more about the other dude than he ever does about her.

I wouldn't insist that it's canon or anything. But I do think it's a legitimate interpretation of their characters.

DA That's pretty much IC for Misa, though? If people start writing, say, Riza Hawkeye like that, it would be fucking annoying.
