#but somehow our pov character just remains a weird passive noncharacter

[metanarrates]

no actually my friends and I were shocked at how often tlt had an excuse for its PROTAGONIST to not be included in the plot. she's not interested in the plot. she's been ordered to stay in the room while.harrow does plot. she has to be silent so other characters can talk plot around her while she doesn't participate. she's not interested in the plot again. and again. she almost died and is in a fugue state so she can't be included in the plot. she's not interested again. she's gonna be bored while other characters talk plot. what's that? she's taking action? just kidding. it got interrupted by something. also she doesn't care about the plot. She Got Fucked Up Again And Is In A Fugue State. She Doesn't Want To Do The Plot. She's Too Snarkily Disaffected. Fuck You.

#narrates #she does stuff sometimes but its kind of hilarious how much the story doesn't want her to #we genuinely think harrow may have been the protagonist in early drafts. SHE'S always doing stuff offscreen #SHE has reasons to involve herself. the story cares quite a bit about deciphering her feelings #but somehow our pov character just remains a weird passive noncharacter
