I've come to the conclusion that being assigned the fandom-mandated "sunshine character" is the worst possible fate a character could face
#maybe I'm just biased because the characters that this happens to tend to be some of my favorites but I think I'm onto something
#these characters aren't allowed depth of emotion or complex inner worlds. once a character is fanonized as the 'ray of sunsine'
#or the 'cinnamon roll' they cease to occupy any space outside of that role in fanon content. they're happy & silly & not much else
#no matter how much depth they may actually have in canon.
#popular fanon has a tendency to treat happiness & goodness like states without any emotional complexity.
#emotional complexity is reserved for the anti-heroes & jerks-with-a-heart-of-gold you see.
#atp 'X is a ray of sunshine' has begone to feel like code for 'I don't actually care about this character very much nor do I understand
#their canon narrative so I'm just gonna ignore them 98% of the time. but hey they're really nice! that's something! anyways—'
#this is about many characters but I particularly want to call out aang & nightcrawler / kurt wagner as two who get this the worst.
#because christ the mischaracterization they get from people who never think about them outside of the 'uwu small bean' box is infuriating
#also steven universe & miles morales. although it's not so bad for steven after suf
#fandom bs
#please pretend I typed 'begun' a few tags back
