I love characters with tunnel vision. False dichotomies. The sunk cost fallacy. Characters who are convinced of their utmost rationality and can even lay out their entire philosophy in logical, impersonal terms and convince others even though the whole of their actions, rationalised to hell and back though they may be, are spurred on by something entirely emotional (and this doesn't stop them from being right on the money about some things). Characters who are at once the most and least self-aware people ever. Characters who know the ins and outs of their psyche like a map they've memorised but can barely tell when they're experiencing a feeling.

you cannot headcanon your way out of overt thematic structures on which the entire narrative is built

you will be my girl, you will be my world

love a character that's like. i survived (<- not a brag) (<- this is a curse that weighs on me every waking hour)

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

see 0 note flop posts aren't that bad when they're personal but 0 note fandom posts feel literally so bad. like if you don't wanna play toys with me anymore just say that. i'll pack up my super cool awesome things and go and i'll sit on the other side of the playground by myself and i won't even look at you. fuck

we'll hold each other soon, in the blackest of rooms

you've stripped him of so many of his qualities that it's no longer "he would not say that". it's "who the fuck even is that guy"

There should be a fanfic writing game called the showrunners challenge where someone writes a story and partway through someone else can play things like "actor leaves after 4000 more words" or "topic now too politically sensitive due to unforeseen world events" or "lost rights to that reference"
