#I also have opinions on Four but I’m not poking THAT hornet’s nest

NAME THE WIDELY ACCEPTED FANON THINGS. if its okay with you of course. im just interested :D

Mmmm not really sure I want to share all of them, but... I think a lot of generally accepted characterization of Wind is just... off?

Hear me out. This is a kid who was raised almost solely by his grandmother, who has a baby sister who he also helped raise. He’s one of the only young adults on the island he grew up on, and is obviously responsible, dependable, and cares deeply for his family and friends, both old and new. But he still keeps his childlike aspects! He’s a happy guy despite the crap he’s been through, and is upbeat and generally positive through it all.

And I just rarely see a lot of those traits of his in fandom?

It feels like a lot of the time he’s relegated to as just “the kid who desperately wants to be seen as an adult” (who cusses and drinks to make up for it of course). Which he isn’t! Wind isn’t an adult and he’s okay with that. What he wants is respect, and to not be treated like he’s helpless, like just another civilian who can’t handle himself. These things are different.

Anyway, this is just my opinion, so don’t take this too seriously. And it’s not that it’s widely accepted exactly? Well except for the cussing. But eh.
