My favorite trope is when the bad guys find someone completely harmless and innocent and they all go "okay let's protect this cinnamon bun" and you've got like a room full of hardened criminals and a little orphan girl who is just happy she has friends now and everyone ends up redeeming themselves

Bonus when they're not even protecting the innocent from other bad guys and it's just a bunch of thugs helping the morality pet get through mundane life

Obviously I'm putting this in my book. Her name is Enkiya and she lives with demons because they think she's pretty swell and everyone else hates her for something she didn't do

(she's trans and her parents basically got her shunned by her entire race so everyone assumes she's some kind of psychopathic murderer who must never be named)

Here's a picrew. She's one of my favorite characters so of course I made one as a reference: https://picrew.me/image_maker/1727240/complete?cd=cyviJIHDBV

@minervissa didn't she used to be a psychopathic murderer in a past life
@victoria yeah but that's not her fault!
@minervissa no but it is her problem (poor thing)
@victoria if her people knew what past-her did, they'd drop the persecution and start negotiating 

@victoria

It could be argued that nothing any of my characters do is their fault, since I'm the one that makes them do it... 

@minervissa you have control over it all???

@victoria if they do something I don't like, I can just not write that

but I don't, because I am a cruel god and I see ALLLLLLL

@victoria How many times do you think your deity has reinitiated the Big Bang simply because your life got less entertaining for a moment?
@victoria Anyway this is why I've started savescumming the lives of others
@minervissa honestly if the deity can't just wait around a bit for me to die naturally so they can reincarnate me then i gotta say they need to learn to wait but that's just my two cents
@victoria I'd pass your suggestion along, but that deity didn't rewrite me crashing my car so I'm not helping it either

@victoria unless it rewrote a major accident into a minor

hmmmmm

but what if that's just what it wants me to think and it actually did nothing

@victoria in times like these, I like to look down at my body and think to myself "at least I have hands"
@minervissa you temptress!!

@victoria you should try writing too

i'd read it

@minervissa you... temptress...?

@victoria oh you thought I was talking about something else

huh

well that's entertaining

@minervissa wait what do you think i'm talking about
@victoria Not writing, which is hilariously lame compared to writing
@minervissa so that's what all the rewrites are for... character police....

@victoria if they kiss too soon? rewrite

too late? rewrite

wrong people? rewrite!

one of them dies?! REWRITE!

SOMEONE TELLS MAYA THAT HER DAD REINCARNATED AS A TWINK WITH A MAID FETISH AGAIN?!?! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, REWRITE!!!!!!

@minervissa the maid fetish, like the demiurge, is unstoppable
