when a fanfic has perfect characterization while still adding its own unique spin on it

(these are some but not all the feeling i have. i have SO many feelings about when this happens. rant in the tags)

#i've been reading fanfic since i was around nine or ten. #i've read thousands of them and that's not an exaggeration #and i'd say one in three hundred fanfics i read pulls this off? #it's such a rare treat and delight when it happens #let me break this down #characterization can be played with in fanfics because theyre fanfics #and everyone can do what they like because of the nature of fanfic #we're just here to have a good time #but i've always prefered it when they nail characterization #i know they've done a good job when i can hear the character in my head as i read the dialogue #but when people take the canon characterization and push it further? #holy shit #when they make the character almost more in character than the OG canon #and pull off interesting ideas with this version of the character? #allow me to elucidate how i feel about this #(clears throat) #FHDSFKSFJHDSK #sdfjkLHDFjShfpsf #fsgjsg;dsg #fsgsgdshglkdsg #LJDS #AAAA #AAAAAAAAAA #(SCREAMING) #fsdisd;lfjs #sdsgdslg #ajksa #thank you for coming to my ted talk
