Kinda fucked up that Rebirth showed us that a) Vincent is hopeless with modern technology, including some blocky keycard reader that looks straight out of the 90s, and b) Vincent used to be good enough with technology in his day to be able to track the Turks through the radio. Like yes hopeless grandpa Vincent is funny but man. That has to feel so fucked up. For all we know Vincent might have done great using command line only computers and radio based espionage. And then he got turned into an experiment, fell asleep for thirty years, and when he woke up nothing works in a logical way anymore. Like I think any of us would struggle a lot if we went to sleep in a world with landlines and woke up to find smartphones. The sheer fucking confusion this man must feel, not to mention being aware that so many skills he must have developed and maybe was even proud of are now borderline useless

This isn't necessarily a pet peeve because I play into this characterisation as well, but it surprises me how parts of the fandom genuinely believe Genesis is the flamboyant theatre kid of the trio who can't go for two seconds without reciting his favourite poem.

Genesis' obsession with the Loveless text is purely academic as he spends years deciphering its secrets, especially the missing last chapter. His paper on the subject becomes a best-selling textbook when it was published after his "death". Everyone scoffs at Genesis reciting the text and pointing out the parallels of the characters' story arcs to their own, but he turns out to be right (he gets the character roles the wrong way round as Zack is the true hero of the story but he was correct that the story is repeating itself).

Fanon!Genesis shows great interest in the adapted stageplay (whether he's a diehard fanboy or snobbish nitpicking critic), but we never learn Canon!Genesis' opinion on the play changing the text or if he's even seen it.

His interest in agriculture rarely comes up in fanon despite growing up on an apple farm and winning an award for "National Agriculture Awards, Processed Foods Category" and plays a vital role in his characterisation.
