part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

i got into this pairing because of one author... and am now falling out of it because of same author.

at first, i was intrigued because the author had found a way to make what had seemed to me a very straightforward, simple fluff relationship into something complex and nuanced in ways that illuminated new sides of the characters for me while still tying back to canon (and history and culture) in a satisfying way. but over time, the writing has become somewhat repetitive, the characters (particularly the one character) seem purely ooc rather than an unconventional but still feasible interpretation of canon, and most disappointing of all the relationship dynamics are getting generic and cheesy. and i wonder if the author has come to empathize /too/ much with one of the characters, as frequently i'm confused why this character seems to be portrayed as being in the right and/or why other characters continue to feel as though they owe him something when, in the situation in question, he's actually acting whiny and overentitled if anything (which is fine and could be interesting, it's just that i keep getting the feeling from the story that others have wronged him, but i don't see that at all and think it's pure author bias).
