>>78068627my 2 cents is drawe hard lines in the sand and get stuff wrong on purpose.
I dont try to be 100% accurate with any of the chuubas i write, and maybe i flanderize them a bit. But i do that because i want to separate the real person from the avatar.
I respect the creators too much to allow me myself to put EVERY detail of their life in my fanfics, so i just filter them.
For example. Bae has stomach problems thanks to a shitty period of her life where she starved herself. That's never getting in because in my world this version of her is happy.and deserves the world but ALSO i respect her and i dont want to put a bad period of her life in my fic for the sake of "realism"
