I have checked the tags, and wanted to ask: what is the status (A or B) of characters that got more screen time and some storylines, but still had much less presence than “A” characters, both in canon and in fanon? I’m talking like Lincoln, Trip, Robbie, Robin, Mace, Andrew?
This is a bit of a tricky topic and honestly a bit arbitrary and not entirely clear-cut.
Generally speaking, we have so far usually excluded characters that–though not being part of the main team–had somewhat important roles and story arcs over most of a season / multiple seasons.
For this reason, we wouldn’t necessarily consider Lincoln, Trip, Robbie, Mace, or Andrew characters we include in our B Squad network.
We have reposted content that focussed on Robin, though maybe one could argue that she’s also played an important role in the last season.
In all honestly, it’s a bit of a grey area, and if anyone else would like to chime in, please, don’t hesitate to do so.
I considered holding polls as to which characters we should include and reblog content for, but I’m afraid we may not have enough followers to make this a truly viable option.
Judging by the end of S5, it seems possible that Piper and Davis may show up again in S6 and maybe get more significant story lines, but since they’re so-to-speak the founding-characters of our network, I can’t imagine that we’ll ever exclude them.
Again, Anon, thanks for sending us this ask, and feel free to follow-up.
