sometimes fanfic is about displaying your mastery and grasp over the canonical version of the character and sometimes it's about telling a story. the thing about telling a story is that there is so often a point at which the character drifts from their canonical counterpart

my personal take on why mlm content is more popular among writers and readers is simply that there's less baggage around writing men. i love writing about trauma, esp childhood & abuse-related topics. the gendered weight of those narratives when it comes to women is a turn-off

I'm obsessed with the very clear thematic throughline between Nahida and Scaramouche in this quest. it's very interesting, and it's one of the strongest parts of the quest for me.

Wolfwood is an essentially tender man who has been brutally beaten by the world into toughening up and not showing his soft side. when push comes to shove his first instinct is always to look out for another person—he is selfish by design, not choice, and it breaks his heart

Dainsleif: Absolutely Not he's a spoiled little brat
and then later when they're having dinner Kaeya sneaks to the Knights table to crawl into Dainsleif's lap and steal his food and Dainsleif just...lets him?
Halfdan: who's spoiling him now?
Dainsleif: What
Halfdan: Nothing!!!!

Halfdan seems like a nice boy i think he'd indulge the little prince. Dainsleif absolutely wouldn't and he would also chew Halfdan out for slacking off while also telling off the prince for distracting the men from their duty.

Vash would have folded like a fucking pretzel if Knives had gone up to him when they met again and just hugged him. but there was always the possibility that he might not, so Knives couldn't do it, bc the only thing worse than not having affection is being rejected

when Dainsleif comes back the knights are suspiciously still and he's like “what” and all of them are like “NOTHING” so Dainsleif turns to Halfdan like “what was it” and Halfdan, barely holding back giggles, is like “some of us think you're soft on the prince.”

because /this/ story has made them develop enough that they can step outside their predestination. whether a character develops or stagnates in canon, a writer must decide how to weigh that development in a new direction as against keeping canonicity intact

one of the things fanfic writers might do is parallel the development of the character to their canonical development. this is valid, but doesn't work if the story you're trying to tell is meaningfully distinct from canon. shoehorning it in feels bad

a character is less of a self-contained, perfectly wrought shell than a constellation of traits, habits, desires, and priors that have all come together into a loose whole. a lot of good fanfic, for me, is about picking at those stable points and pulling at the threads of
