Comments

not the op or the other commenter

[(Anonymous)]

I think what maybe people are failing to take into consideration is that maybe she isn't emulating the character, but maybe she feels she is already a lot like the character and accepts it. Does that come with flaws? Sure, but who doesn't? Not everyone who says they are The Such-and-Such Character are actively trying to be like that character, but perhaps are already coincidentally similar. I know, for instance, most of the characters I like and identify with, I like them and identify with them because they remind me of who I already am, not who I want to be.

Re: not the op or the other commenter

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

In general terms, I get your point -- and I have identification characters who I generally identify with on the basis of their most central flaws and mine coinciding -- but the way the original secret was worded sounds like she's identifying with all of Elphie's positive traits and not noticing that the girl's screwed-up.

"Opinionated, passionate, stubborn, blunt, intelligent, and confident young woman" doesn't sound like she's feeling "Gee, I identify with Elphaba because I also have an almost pathological need to earn my father's appreciation and am incapable of accepting that other people could forgive my flaws" so much as "I identify with Elphaba because I AM ALSO AWESOME IN WAYS PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND/SEE", and "looking for her Fiyero" doesn't sound like she's thinking "I am looking for a guy who is almost as screwed-up as I am so I can make a bunch of mistakes with him but honestly try" so much as "I am looking for an awesome guy who will also admire my awesomeness so we can have an exciting and romantic relationship".

The OP seems -- to me, and I am admittedly incredibly biased in the ways I view the world, and I am taking this from a very brief secret, and insert more disclaimers here -- to be romanticizing/idealizing Elphaba and her relationship with Fiyero and that's what I have difficulty with.

Administer with a grain of salt, etc.
