Oh...I didn't think gothic I just sorta thought more, idk hardcore gangster/ tough as nails stereotype. I guess that is sorta similar but ...i guess when I wrote it, I thought it was done better than "description of self just because I want to" . I saw the people in ....the group she grew up in sorta like the Amish and seeing looking at yourself as selfish or whatever, and her doing it ...sorta told us that she didn't fit in that particular ...whatever it was called.

*shrug* but I guess it depends from person to person. I can sorta see it now that you explain it, but that wasn't quite the image I got when I first read it.

Also it's been a LONG time since I read it , so...yeah.

I think you could make a strong argument for the "looking in the mirror and explaining to the audience what I look like" cliche being justified here for the reason you said but it did still stand out to me as a cliche. And then she trips and I laughed and went "oh she's clumsy, of course".

I'm partly just nitpicking because I find that fun. I'm certainly not going to go around telling people to stop liking it.

[jaybie_jarrett]

Ah okay. I apologize. I tend to to sometimes look at things in a different way I suppose.

Maybe I was also biased because it was something I kind of enjoyed when I read it, I can sometimes be defensive of something I like. sorry.

[sarillia]

Wait what? What are you apologizing for? Looking at things a different way from other people is a good thing.

[jaybie_jarrett]

Oh okay.

I just apologize too much. It's a habit.

[sarillia]

It's okay. I have several friends like that. Asking "what are you apologizing for?" is practically becoming a habit of my own.

[jaybie_jarrett]

heh.

It was nice talking to you. :)

Don't apologize for liking Divergent and not thinking it's shit. It's not any more shoddy or ridiculous than say, Supernatural, Doctor Who, or any comic-based movies that are popular on F!S. Lots of people just like to hate YA just because it's YA.

[jaybie_jarrett]

*nod* I feel like some of it is a case of It's Popular So It Sucks, or whatever the trope is. Right now it's YA , it's popular enough to get a movie, and thus the regular stream of "well it's not THAT great why is it getting so much attention". I actually found a book the other day that went into psychological detail about Divergent's world. Pretty cool.

[diet_poison]

to be honest I definitely think some of this is at play here.
