I sometimes feel like we don’t want to see characters as weak and insecure because we would rather think that self confidence is inherent rather than something that is built up over time with effort because it precludes us from having to take that journey ourselves

My little cousin has been getting into naruto lately and I’m rethinking my Sakura hatred okay I’m INTROSPECTIVE

Because honestly I hated characters like her, or Sansa from Game of Thrones, and Armin from attack on Titan, but they had some of the greatest character arcs ever BECAUSE they weren’t confident 🤔

That’s also why I personally really enjoy fics where you see stronger characters put in a weaker position, so you can kind of see that emotional journey 🤔

I’m rambling but I guess my point is ✨ character development ✨
