How animals attack

[thenarwhalgal]

You know how there's some story tropes, narrative devices, etc, that nobody really does anymore, but that used to be the absolute chewed-through cliché that everyone expects to be there - not because anyone likes it, but because what else would there be? But now nobody does that anymore. And that's why I think people should pick those up again, because they've been on the shelf for so long that it'd actually be refreshing and new again.

Like having a main character who's essentially just a narrative device, a POV character who has nothing to do with the plot, and is only observing it from the sidelines. Except this time around, instead of mincing about with the way such characters awkwardly turn out seeming unintentionally catty and judgemental, just make them be that way on purpose.

The seemingly timid and innocent quiet witness who just always happens to be in the right place at the right time to see All The Shit Go Down, whom every single one of the other characters considers their one true loyal confidant who would never judge them (incorrect), but instead of having the author white-knuckle wrangling them to appear like a genuine and sweet person, this POV protagonist is just sitting there with a bucket of popcorn, watching their supposed friends be the messiest disasters alive, casually thinking

"Wow. I don't respect any of you people."

Updating my fic so that the footnotes are in the text instead of all being stuck at the bottom for user readability. Using the <details> tag. It looks fine published and previewed but oh my god is it so ugly in the HTML lol
