#the baby switch was straight up bad writing for festivia and meteora

[sea-owl]

I'm just gonna say it. If you have to throw a character (A) under the bus, doesn't matter how big their role is, to get your audience to sympathize for another character (B) who has activley made horrible decisions to the point where your audience does not like them but YOU favor them then that's bad writing.

To me this is a subcategory of fridging. You find it easier to demonize character A instead of fixing and developing character B. You add a sad backstory for B that includes A being the persecutor. This turns the audience against A and all of a sudden all the bad shit B has done and actively still does with no indication of changing is thrown under the rug. A is now the villain and B is going to get an unearned/unwanted/undeserved HEA. But before A was a generally a good person and these new pieces are not fitting to what we already know about them.

That is bad writing. You added nothing to A's story, just demonized them, even if they didn't actaully do it, to uplift B's story. A deserves better and B deserves to actually go through a redemption, messy parts included.

Quit with the lazy writing your characters deserve more from you.
