#I treat rei and akari like my younger siblings

least favorite thing about fanon submas ??!?!?

literally every single thing in the tag barring maybe 4 people's posts makes me feel like this

but with regards to non-au stuff and fanon characterization in general i think i just disagree with a lot of the common interpretations and headcanons. nothing is a huge slight against anyone but yknow

idk if i'm a huge fan of the uncle drayden hc. i don't think people in-universe find ingo to be "the approachable one" and emmet to be "the creepy one". i don't think they have a serious older brother-younger brother dynamic. (<- this is probably the most egregious i just cannot stand it and that is a little more of a me problem than a fandom problem because they do act somewhat like that in canon but good LORD if you called someone born on the same day as you your "baby brother" in any serious capacity they would kill you.)

i think people give them too much of a dichotomy that isn't really there? like "ingo is the [x] one emmet is the [y] one" for everything LMAO. like yes they wear opposite outfits and have contrasting mannerisms but they're still just like. 2 people who are siblings yknow. they're not opposite people they're just 2 different people with a motif. i also think a lot of people get the impression that emmet is a mean guy because of this which makes me kind of sad because even if he is overly blunt sometimes (especially in the manga LOL) he's still a very kind individual and wants people to strive to be their best just like ingo does. they're not a good cop - bad cop routine.

i also don't think ingo is a dad in any capacity or father figure like he is not adopting akari as a father or uncle (this is also a huge problem i have with how people write akari because she is NOT as bubbly as people write her at all but that's not here nor there) (<- i say akari because i've never really seen this as much with rei. ANYWAYS) and it's just an IMMEDIATE bucket of ice water for me immersion-wise when people write him as one. like even if he's in his 40s he just doesn't seem like a parental guy. he literally addresses the protagonist in the french version with the formal "you" LMAO (not that there's strict rules with when to tutoyer vs vouvoyer someone but it comes off as a little weirdly formal to me as an adult talking to a child) (though in my head that could also have to do with how the pearl clan treats age as much more separate from status than people normally would) (not canon but that's what i'm going with) (also not here nor there LOL) again not that i mind them being friends but i just think it's odd that "father figure/uncle figure" is the relationship label people give them. i just feel like no 15 year old would call a guy they met AS a 15 year old "dad"/"uncle" under almost any circumstances

in general i think there's just a lottt of common fandom interpretations that i disagree with (not all listed here but in general) and since a lot of people share a lot of common takes i disagree with it just almost all rubs me the wrong way. like it's just a big amount of little things that bug me. so i just stay in my little bubble

this being said this is about the stuff where it's just like the actual characters in the actual canon games. none of this applies to some of these aus i swear to god people are almost sans undertale-ing these poor men. it's miserable
