Existing in Prime fandom is seeing posts about Nine and 99% of the time either thinking "congrats, you fell for his act" or "...and you just believed what other characters said about him over his pattern of actions?"

#i just be ramblin #not tagging this with any fandom tags #The sequel to this is the sheer amount of people who either wer #were mad that he wasn't evil and irredeemable enough or mad that his 'redemption arc' wasn't done well or mad that he didn't die in the end #And you can just tell how many people either chose to read into him as shallowly as possible or underestimated the writing from the getgo #and then called it bad writing when the show didn't go the direction they wanted it to #fandom wank #Buuuuuut if I complained in detail about all this there'd be no point so I'll refrain #Although I do want to say this. I've found a surprising amount of people act like they're doing this super profound media analysis for #characters or ships. But then the extent of their 'analysis' is basically putting in some screenshots for good measure‚ taking a really #shallow read of the characters/ship‚ and then acting like it's deep or a hot take #Like as an example. Imagine you like a ship. You're happy because so many people are posting analysis of the ship in the show you're #watching with screenshots to boot.#You're expecting profound analysis of their expressions and goals and roles in the story and why they act the way they do.#What do you get? People doing the barest minimum of paralleling this ship to their appearances in other media to celebrate the moments #they've accumulated‚ finding other dubs just to see if they said 'I love you' in that one‚ !#and posting some screenshots so they can say 'omg they secretly care each other🥺'#And of course this is usual fandom behavior. But we're talking this from people who within their own posts or community are acting like this #posting is indicative of them proving just how much canon potential the ship has.#So it makes you frustrated because like. There is substance here that one could dig deep into but no one does while pretending they do
