#depressing characters

[choppedcowboydinosaur]

Whenever I see people justify bad writing of characters regressing or becoming sad sacks, they say its supposedly realistic. And when anyone argues against this, they assume the opposition wants perfection. Even thought the opposition doesn't want perfection.

It’s sad because cynicism is not realism.

Why is it that every time I create a cast of characters for a story, at least ONE of them will perfectly go with several VNV Nation songs?!

Georg and Cyg, I am looking at you.
