you ever resent a character's popularity because of how most of the fans reduce them to their characterization in a single scenerio instead of observing how they are in other circumstances as well?
#this post is about Paranoid#can not take posts about how she is the 'MVP' seriously anymore because of this#likes yes. she's very helpful in Nightmare and the epic fight in Apo is fucking great#but don't forget it was her distrust in the princess that got us there in the first place#and that that fight ends up being meaningless because it doesn't actually bring about any new outcome#and just how argumentative and sometimes even mean-spirited she can be like#this birb is SO FUCKIN' STRESSED ALL THE TIME#and that's a detriment to herself and others around her#idk where I'm going with this. I just wish there was more stuff exploring Para's shortcomings and how unhelpful she can be outside of very#specific contexts#it's why I love her and think she's fascinating#she gets all her biases confirmed while inside the construct#that everyone is out to get her. that reality can't be trusted. that the people around you are just trying to manipulate you#and that's a TERRIBLE mindset to foster and have confirmed#like COME ON. THERE'S SO MUCH MEAT THERE!!!#AND I'M JUST. AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH#stp-posting#sal rants
