I’ve Had A Recent Epiphany About Some Of The Murder Drones Fandom’s Feelings About N’s Character

I’ve had a recent epiphany about some of the murder drones fandom’s feelings about N’s character and this is the one place where I really share my thoughts about these kinda things so here are some more crazed ramblings.

Many fans (primarily men but I’ll get to that later) find N very boring and one dimensional. They complain that he’s “just Uzi’s sidekick” and he’s “too nice” and while I personally love the way N’s written there is a reason why they think that.

In most media women are written as more flat, static characters while men are written as much more complex and interesting (a reason why in general mlm ships are much more popular than wlw ships). In murder drones however, it’s nothing like that. In murder drones the female leads are just as, if not much more interesting than the very few male characters. While N is still interesting being one of the most important characters he’s much less so than characters like Nori, V, and Uzi.

Because this is nearly a direct flip of the usual narrative, specifically men view N’s writing as unnaturally flat (show me one youtube video critiquing N’s character that didn’t come from a man). This is most likely because while men get the main characters of every story, most women are already comfortable with the one dimensional, girly sidekick.

Also, this isn’t just specific to just N either. You can see it with every single male character in this show. For example, Thad will never seem as compelling as Lizzy with her relationships with both Doll and V. Khan and his door and bad parenting skills will never be as interesting as his wife and kid with telekinesis and eldritch horror possession. And every single other male character is a background character.

Sorry for rambling but in summary there’s nothing wrong with N’s character, it’s just as well written as the female characters but since that’s not usually the case he seems boring in comparison.

Uzi Doorman you are everything

i love the notion that the reason zuko hates iroh's tea so much is because iroh is giving him medicinal tea that tastes fucking nasty for his chronic pain and then like. borderline gaslighting him about it by being like "what...???? no........ this is just jasmine........ your favorite" and zuko, who is even more susceptible to being manipulated than the average person, is just like "omg wow jasmine tea tastes way worse than it did when i was a kid..... maybe tea is really gross and i am simply misremembering having a fondness for it as a child???" and then they go work in a tea shop and zuko starts drinking normal tea again so that he can recommend different blends to customers and he’s just like "holy shit why does this hot leaf juice actually taste good." and he somehow never figures out what his uncle was doing he simply thinks that he is going crazy. which is also true

viktor arcane has to be one of the characters ever.

he's gay. he's terminally ill. he's suicidal. he's from league of legends. he's in a toxic relationship with an orb. he also might be the orb(???). he bullshitted his way into the academy by pretending he went there. he rizzed up a guy so he wouldn't kill himself. he then tried to impress said guy by breaking into his boss's lab. then when he got caught he tried to play it off by saying he thought this big intimidating door was his bedroom door and he was just trying to sneak a guy in there. he nearly died because hetero sex was happening like a mile away. kinda. he took illegal drugs. he's also the apprentice of the guy who's making the illegal drugs and never mentions it. he's inspired off of the tale of frankenstein's monster. he got shot by a missle and fucking died. when he came back to life he immediately broke up his messy gay situationship and became jesus fucking christ.

truly one of the characters of all time
