I'm so sick of "they're total opposites!!1!" *points to characters who are foils to each other* like NO! THEY ARENT! THEY ARE PURPOSEFULLY VERY ALIKE BUT DIFFERENT IN ONE SPECIFIC AREA sigh. Do you understand what opposite means. They are opposites in ONE area. The rest is very very similar so it means much more. Do you think red and blue are so far from each other despite being on the same wheel.

#like. i think you are incredibly overreacting when you say they are COMPLETE AND TOTAL OPPOSITES #like bitch. you can start talking when theyre different species for a start 🙄#second of all total opposites dont work well as rivals/antagonists/villainous foils and parallels to ur hero/protag #bc uh. then you get the bland “haha im crazy and evil” vs “im white and a man and the kind of 'good' reflective of my era”#and nothing much more.#also sorry i just have a very very hard time thinking that ppl can have NOTHING in common with each other #like first of all you are both people with experiences so like. jot that down #as you may be able to tell it is quite late for me lmao #i saw a “theyre total opposites and they HATE each other!!! but what if... love???” about two characters who are. you guessed it. v similar #a total opposite is The Obelisk from 2001s a space oddessy (havent actually seen it lmao but heard about that thang recently)#like. alien. unknown. cannot communicate in any possible way we could recognise. inhuman. purposeful.#and then youve got found family mcgee and “i lost my found family” jeremy and you think they could never get along #ughhhhhh #i think im being mildly autistic abt this but its been bugging me since primary school #that was about ppl who thought solangelo shouldnt work bc they “have nothing in common” despite sharing v specifc traumas #moss' madness
