Just a fan trying not to be

🐓🔥 Rae, he/him (transmasc boyflux), sex-positive gay aceflux, panromantic | I'm trying to cut back on engaging with fiction, it isn't working. I don't usually bother to tag; if that bothers you, please, feel free to block me.

[howlonghaveyoubeenseventeen]

this quiz sorts through characters from like dozens of fandoms and finds the one you’re most like. I’m not even a little bit surprised by my result

[howlonghaveyoubeenseventeen]

so many of you are getting jughead from riverdale are y’all okay

HELP

[twinge-of-cosmicangst]

[asherlockstudy]

I don't know this dude and the show is hella boring, should I be worried?

Pay no attention to this self-indulgence project but I gathered all best matches from the fandoms I like

Jasmine from Aladdin 64% (I do feel like her sometimes)

Cogswarth from Beauty and the Beast 75% (I sound like him way too much for my age)

Sheldon Cooper 75% (I'm not so uptight, it's a stretch)

Nina Sayers from Black Swan 68 % (I don't have the 0,0002% of her discipline and determination)

Alfred Pennyworth from the Dark Knight 73% LOL

Andrea Sachs from the Devil Wears Prada 65% (kinda)

Marlin from Finding Nemo 67% (In my forties probably)

Elsa from Frozen 66% (Elsa is the fictional character I felt I had the most in common with, maybe she's not AS much after all but yeah)

Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones 77% (never have thought about it but VERY INTERESTING)

Ashley Wilkes from Gone with the Wind 72% (ahahahaha tru :( )

Dr Bedelia Du Maurier from Hannibal 78% (again, never had thought about it but very probable)

Cho Chang from Harry Potter 77% (thanks very much for the most boring character why not Hermione at least??? this is not very accurate)

Effie Trinket from Hunger Games 61% (unfortunately I see embarrassing sides of me in her)

Dr Lisa Cuddy from House MD 71% (Yep)

Cosette from Les Miserables 63% (my sweetie)

Nala from Lion King 60% (ok indifferent)

Legolas from LOTR 69% LMAO

Li Shang from Mulan 61% (not gonna complain)

Penelope from the Odyssey 72% (actually true)

James Norrington from POTC 71% (why must I always be the vague boring mildy sad guy)

Mr Darcy from Pride & Prejudice 75% (I KNEW IT)

Mycroft Holmes from Sherlock 77% (A mix with Sherlock probably)

Doc from Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs 62% okay

Clarice Starling from The Silence of the Lambs 70% (True with get obsessed with dangerous people but never enough to risk ourselves, we are not fools)

Will Byers from Stranger Things 69% (I hate this)

Judith of Northumbria from Vikings 54% (And I was wonderling why I liked her even though she bearly speaks lol)

Conclusion: I understand what this personality test found. That I am a typically calm, obedient, reserved person, mostly responsible and prim-and-proper until circumstances make me explode or until I find the right opportunity moment to completely change, literally transform or become suddenly adventurous or follow my passions or stop being brought down by thoughts and worries. Truth is always more layered but it is fairly accurate.

[braew01]

@asherlockstudy I wouldn't say I'm an expert on Mitchell, but from the clips I've seen, what you say the test has picked up on matches what I've seen of him from clips!

Now my results:

I don't know this character! So I decided to switch the algorithm out of curiosity:

I know this character! And from what I know about him, 89% seems a little high, but considering the metrics I was asked to rate myself on . . . Yeah, we're similar 😅

Not "The Character did nothing wrong" or "The Character is irredeemably awful" but a secret third thing: The Character may display moments of deep love & compassion, may even have a strong sense of ethics, and may also be capable of brutal cruelty that is irreconcilable with those traits. The constant tension between the different sides of The Character's nature is exactly what makes them compelling, and attempting to reduce them down to simply "a terrible person" or "innocent & misunderstood" is missing the point of the questions a media with nuanced characters is asking you to consider

[janmisali]

In biology they told us that the eye doesn't actually see everything in the room, it fills in most of it from memory and assumption. your brain is just confidently making stuff up about what's probably there and you believe it because you have no reason not to. and i thought that was just a vision fact but actually it's the most important thing i know about unreliable narrators. your character isn't lying. they genuinely see the room they expect to see. that's so much scarier.

The person who was casually cruel to me in 2019 should know they are now a minor antagonist in something i'm working on. not the villain. i gave the villain depth and a reason and a whole backstory that makes you understand them. you are the minor antagonist. you appear in two scenes. you say something dismissive and leave. you do not get a backstory. you do not get complexity. you get exactly what you gave me which was very little and delivered poorly.

The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.

[fall1ngfeather]

(afaik- the woman who popularized gender reveals did so because she had a long history of miscarriages. The reveal was a celebration of the fact that one of her pregnancies had gotten far enough that there WAS a physical sex to reveal. It was never intended to be like... *gestures at modern gender reveals* all that. That same kid later came out as trans and yes, the family had a second gender reveal for that lol.)

L. David Mech, who popularised the idea that there were 'alpha' and 'beta' wolves in his 1970 book The Wolf, has spent the rest of his career trying to debunk this. (The original studies were done on captive wolves, and thus didn't simulate an accurate model of wolf pack dynamics.)

The idea that wolf packs are led by a merciless dictator, or alpha wolf, comes from old studies of captive wolves. In the wild, wolf packs a

In the wild, researchers have found that most wolf packs are simply families, led by a breeding pair, and bloody duels for supremacy are rare.

“What would be the value of calling a human father the alpha male?” says L. David Mech, a senior research scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey, who has studied wolf packs in the wild for decades. “He’s just the father of the family. And that’s exactly the way it is with wolves.”

In defense of the "Alpha Wolf" myth, humans are living in enclosed socially-cloistered environments where we cannot behave naturally. Partial non-sequitur, but imo, ADHD should not be a real disorder. We don't belong in concrete boxes.

And I kinda miss malls, tbh. I don't think the idea of a community "center" was wrong - that is exactly what the strip mall had become before online shopping and COVID.

Like everything else that is good and human, the problem is unchecked capitalism and nothing else. I think that applies to almost every "regretted" invention on this list.
