#all the filmania characters were strikingly different from their BOC counterparts

never been so glad to be picky with my fics 💀 reading your 🔥 ☕ post about kim was like peeking into a horrific alternate dimension lmao

most fics aren't! by large kp fics are good! not everything is for me, but overall there are many good fics out there to be reading. i've just also been living in the kimchay tag since the filmania trailer, so i happen to have read through a lot of its fics thanks to circumstance. largely i am trying to stick with very broad and general topics for these tea asks because it's all about personal preferences of what draws me towards a fic vs what turns me off and not get into anything too specific; but when you've been reading a tag for multiple years since the tag first got started, you tend to have seen a lot more of the obscure stuff than the average reader.

#and like #in fairness #another aspect of being here since the early early days is that you also went thru all the character growing pains kp canon did #all the filmania characters were strikingly different from their BOC counterparts #but some changed a lot more than others and Kim in particular was one of them #and there was a very long and unsure wait between the filmania trailer release and the actual show dropping #so there's some tension within in the earlier fic versions of Kim because they weren't just a clash of show and novel characterizations #but a clash of trailer kim - show kim - *fanon* kim - novel kim #i still do think a lot of people were just bad at understanding kim's character because they approached him like a collection of tropes #instead of approaching him like an actual character to develop #but also like. juggling the influences of four very different versions of one character is A Lot to juggle
