what r your thoughts on. fanon tim stoker. personally he makes my blood boil. this is not the man that i know and love
fanon tim stoker is a bitch i would fistfight at trivia night for telling me i’ve misspelled “circumstantial”. canon tim stoker is my husband.
i completely understand the cycle that takes place in fandoms regarding character analysis and depiction. if a character is too complex, the fandom has a tendency of watering them down, allowing them to be more easily understood for the purpose of making jokes, projecting onto them, or writing content for them. tim stoker has always been very concrete to me which is why i guess he’s been massacred so much
unfortunately, tim got the short end of the stick. he was shaping up to be a pretty formative character in canon, actually, until he kicked the bucket. and instead of being read as “funny until further notice, wildly intelligent and clever, frustrated and misunderstood, looking for a friend and an apology,” he was turned into this... strange hypersexual hot mess with a hater streak and a right hook for anyone who disagreed with him. i feel really bad about that because it showcases a lot of shortcomings about the fandom’s perception of him and other characters coded similarly to him.
