#i see all those loving analyses and i can't help thinking that they're wasting braincells on a product that doesn't deserve them

gdi it's so frustrating because I really want to fix Lenore, I see the good ideas behind her, but my rewriting would boil down to small changes such as

remove the "good boy" moments

remove the rape scene, just have Lenore slip her ring on Hector while he's considering her proposal

change her dialogue to be less cringe

bonus: have Hector show more signs of repressed anger, make clear that his politeness is a façade. You can even have him conflicted if it's necessary, as he does understand Lenore's moral code but you know he's not happy about being betrayed. And have him go on a rampage after he cuts his finger.

if you think N!Hector lying is OOC because he's too innocent for that, then explain that he has to learn some proper etiquette in Dracula's court. be sure to show that there is a difference from being sheltered from the world and being a fucking idiot.

and that's it! no joke this would be enough to turn her into the fascinating character her fans believe her to be! hector being charitable would make far more sense! but it's too boring to commit on paper because these are such braindead changes that I only curse That Writer for neglecting them in favor of rape fetishism

(you know i will have reached irreversible mental illness when i will write a fic about this bitch, give her the Surge treatment)
