#fandom and their moms are convinced modern jgy is sooo cranky when he wakes up and he loooves to bitch and complain and his ^_^ is ALWAYS

[leatherbookmark]

my dream portrayal of jgy is that he's an independant character with his own strengths (not lxc's sweet little child-birthing wifey) that get recognition and appreciation (and that aren't 'being a good mommy/rabid event planner, haha, such a control freak this a-yao'), who deserves and gets love (but isn't just a tiny lovely thing whose only purpose is-- do you get my point already i wonder), who's allowed to be in a bad mood (but isn't defined by those moments, which is very important to me personally), but who isn't a cruel or bad person (and whose attempts at explaining his situation to others are taken seriously, and not as just him trying to Manipulate Others As Usual because, and i might be controversial but idqc, if i'm to call a character a gaslighting manipulator i'd like to see cases of him a/ doing it b/ succesfully c/ often, and no, "well he conned lxc into thinking he's not an evil murderous twink, SOMEHOW" doesn't count)

and my problem is that it's, well, as dreams usually are, rather unattainable

#what i mean by 'allowed to be in a bad mood but not defined by them' is that like. i talked about it before but the way the entirety of the #fandom and their moms are convinced modern jgy is sooo cranky when he wakes up and he loooves to bitch and complain and his ^_^ is ALWAYS #AND ONLY a mask hiding murderous rage towards stupid customers. and as an irl misinterpreted character i find this kinda #hurtful because you're not really 'allowed' to do something if this something will get you teased/immediately associated with Being A Perso #Who Does Thing. like the fandom is very bad at recognizing when a character is acting influenced by intense emotions #but like if cql!lxc slaps jgy that doesn't make him a violent person who solves all problems with his fists and is Sooo Scary Haha to be #around haha Don't Piss Him Off. but this happens to jgy a lot in fanfiction and i'm kinda tired of it #give me one (1) fic where jgy can complain about his stupid ass father and his stupid ass job and gets comfort and support #i also don't get people being so into wwx+jgy friendship. like. jgy would be like 'hey please think abt how your behaviour impacts #not only your reputation but also those of your friends and associates' and wwx would be like lmao chill out idc! #and wwx would be like 'wow your life situation sucks you should just tell everyone to kiss your ass and get the fuck out' to which #jgy would be like There Are No Words To Convey How Much I Can't Just Do That and that would be it. idk #anyway. lotsa words when im just being a hater #shrimp thoughts
