Ever read a fic and thought, “They would never say that,” or “That’s not them”? It’s a common reaction, but let’s break down why it happens.
When you read multiple fics, you start to see patterns in how a character is written—their speech, personality, and habits tend to be portrayed a certain way across different writers. Over time, your brain builds an expectation of how they should act, and you will go like "I know them now".
But when you come across a fic where the character behaves differently—maybe they speak in a way you’re not used to, or their personality shifts even slightly—it feels wrong. Your brain detects the inconsistency and reacts with, “This isn’t accurate.”
But here’s the truth: no one truly knows the character they are fictional honey. Not you, not the writer. We all take what we see—canon material, dialogue, actions in movies, games and series—then interpret it differently. Fanfics aren’t about replicating a character 100% accurately; they’re about adapting them into different scenarios, tropes, and perspectives.
So instead of saying, “They’d never do that,” remember that every fic is just one version of a character. Different interpretations don’t mean they’re wrong—they’re just slightly new to you so whether you get used to it or leave the fic and not teaching the writer how to write the character XD
It’s totally fine to have opinions on how a character is written in fanfiction. Maybe a fic doesn’t match how you personally see them, or the way they talk feels different from what you’re used to. That’s normal! But there’s a difference between discussing these thoughts and going into a writer’s comments or asks just to tell them they’re “wrong.”
At the end of the day, fanfiction is interpretation. No one has an exact rulebook on how a character should act outside of canon, and even canon itself can be inconsistent. Writers take what they see and shape it into their own version. That’s the point of transformative work.
If a fic’s portrayal doesn’t sit right with you, the best thing to do is simple: move on. No one’s forcing you to read something you don’t like, and it’s not a life-or-death situation. Just scroll past, find another fic, and continue enjoying fandom in a way that makes you happy.
Constructive discussion? Great. Telling a writer how to “properly” write a character? Not so much. Let people write what they enjoy If they didn't hurt anyone :)
Let me know if u have another opinions today i feel the urge to discuss lol.

Elias: 5/10. He’s kind of like Woods (pt 1)—good at short hugs/hair ruffles, but doesn’t really cuddle.
Hesh: 12/10. D1 CUDDLER. THIS MAN’S TALENT FOR HUGS NEEDS TO BE STUDIED.
Logan: 7/10. More like his dad when it comes to giving affection, but he’s happy to cuddle if someone asks (especially after a mission).
Merrick: 9/10. Bro is like a furnace, and he has a knack for knowing when someone needs a hug.
Ajax: 10/10. Just kinda snatches you whenever he wants cuddles, but the vibes are always elite, and he shares blankets
Keegan: 3/10. This man does not SLEEP. He doesn’t have time to cuddle. Whenever you get him to lay down though, it’s 10/10.
Kick: 4/10. He plays block blast on his phone and rage quits, but he’s very warm and sweet to you.
Rorke: 2/10. He plots vengeance aloud the entire time.
