there is such a fascinating difference between characters and real people because no matter how multifaceted the piece represents the character there will always be bias and missing pieces and a tendency of the audience to boil down that character into bite-size palatable bits. like there's always a good guy and there's always a villain and it has everything to do with the person writing or creating that character and nothing to do with the perceived person that the audience believes the character is. I just think the relationship between the bias of the creator and the limitations of media and the audience reaction to stories is endlessly interesting.

#anyway this is about carol butcher fuck carol butcher #because in reality you'd be like #well its a complicated situation yeah they couldve communicated better but im sure everyone involved was trying their best #but since shes a character i can be like fuck carol all my homies hate carol #because we've been presented with pat as the person the story is about #if the story was about carol we might hate pat.#yknow?#it's interesting #i need to tag this so i can find it again #uhhh #bbc ghosts #i guess #my writing #not really but for the sake of the tag yknow
