sometimes I see people saying stuff like “how can you feel bad for [x character]! they brought this on themselves!” and my feeling is always sort of… “yes, and that makes it worse?”

while sure it’s sad when a character is suffering from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune through no fault of their own but simply because the world they live in is cruel and unfair or whatever, it hits me much harder when a character is suffering because their own actions have come back around to cause them pain. then you have the dual layer of the suffering on top of the knowledge, acknowledged or unacknowledged internal to the narrative but present for the reader, that it’s…not even their fault, necessarily, I’m not really interested in language of fault, but that something they did or choices they made had unexpected and unwanted consequences.

it’s like…I sort of hate the concept of “got what they deserved” as a sentiment, broadly speaking, and I feel like that’s sometimes where people go with this, but for me it’s just much more resonant and much hurtier to look at the ways in which someone, intentionally or unintentionally, ends up causing themselves pain - and what they do with that.

not sure this is making any sense, but “I feel like the juiciest angst is the angst that comes from the destructive impact of your own actions” probably kinda gets at it.

this is probably about me being generally a tragedy enjoyer, isn’t it.
