Self-reflection and poll on archetypes
I'm in a chatty mood but have nothing to chat about! This NEVER happens to me. How very strange! Consequently, I'm overcompensating by drawing together various ideas that have been swimming around in my head recently
( Read more... )
the villain who no one can understand why I like but always ends up with a redeeming feature or two (which gives me cause for smugness ha)
I'm fond of that one too! ;-)
I almost always never identify with the main character. Whoever is the main character seems to automatically disappear from my list of character to fangirl over.
Ditto! What's that about, do you reckon? *frowns* It's definitely true of me.
I always wonder why my character does not seem to get as much recognition as the main one despite it being so utterly obvious he/she is the more competent one.
*lolz* Yeah, me too! I like the figure in the shadows! And I also have those kind of passionate attachments where I simply do not understand why my character is (sometimes) largely hated by others. Clearly they are superior!! :-) I do seem to end up with a lot of unpopular fannish opinions this way... the mainstream is not the way for me, usually, and maybe this ties to not connecting with central characters?
I think it's quite tough to sort through the maze of feelings we develop around our particular shows and characters. I can imagine writing about it (privately) would help articulate your thoughts.
