[ so, a thought to throw out there in the universe before I turn in for the night
angst is fun and great and all, but you know
not every character has to have an angsty backstory, or be angsty all the time
and no, before anyone freaks out, THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANYONE, this is just a thought I had earlier lol
angst doesn’t make a character, necessarily, more interesting, or relatable. Sometimes, people really do grow up okay, or even happy, and come into struggles and strife later on, or maybe not much at all.
I know some people write their characters angsty to be unique or interesting but... if everyone is doing it, then it’s not really unique or interesting is it?
I mean, most angst typically is very interesting because depth and development and perseverance and all that
what I’m saying is: hey, maybe, let a character just be happy sometimes? Maybe let them have a good childhood, let them enjoy life and not be suicidal or depressed? and have all the angsty AU’s you want and all that
please read: no one is ever required to listen to me and I am absolutely not criticizing anyone, again, this is just a random thought I had today
everyone is free to express themselves how they wish <3
okay off I go for the night, come bother me on discord ]
