Ignoring a characters looks

(Anonymous) 2026-02-06 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I get annoyed when people describe a character in their fic and it's not the reality of that character. It seems to coincide with the worst offenders of "one is waifish and short and needs rescuing, and the other is tall and strong and rescues" scenarios.

For some reason people love to make their bottom characters blonde and curly haired when they are neither in the source material.

ughhh yeah. I love a size difference, but a couple of my ships are between two guys who are VERY similar in size, and like... if the height difference is about one inch, don't call one of them taller/shorter, maybe. One of those ships, at least one of the guys is a lot more athletic, but people love to have him bottom, so you see fics where the nerd with the skinny limbs and soft tummy is suddenly REALLY BUFF and the guy who does multiple sports for fun is a LIP GLOSS WEARING WAIF (and sometimes, yeah, inexplicably blond), and it's like... oh, so we're not actually in the same fandom, got it.

The Migrating Slash Fandom girlies also really don't know what to do when two characters are roughly the same size-- in a 'can wear each other's clothes without the fit being too bad' range-- but the guy who's very slightly taller and the guy who's very slightly broader/buffer are not the same guy.
