as someone whose selfworth has never been in doubt in her life, and indeed, becomes rather furious when a slight against her is noted and doesn’t stay silent…

i cannot tell you anon people of the net how much i hate fics in where the characters personality is reeduced to the same whiny “i have no worth oh~ poor me~” when there’s no indication in canon of this being a problem. it’s like watching a carton copy of the same archetype once and once again.

i get it!! self-projection and a lot of writers wants wish-fullfilment but nothing kills my interest in a story faster that noticing that pattern. because i cannot relate in any way or form to that artificial angst, it just irks me, even more bc i know the charas weren’t originally like that and that’s why i liked them. and i love a good angst/tragedy fic, very cathartic, but only when it works truly with the character and its not inflated with fake issues. ugh.

nothing against people with problems of selfworth, wishing them the best. nor explorations in canon of that. just feeling really really tired of reading the same damn thing replicated without thought to character personality or narrative function all over fics.
