Sometimes "rarepair" means "you are literally the only person who posts about this on tumblr dot com" and you have to learn to be okay with that.

a character that's going thru a redemption arc doesn't actually have to be penalized or atone via community service or whatever for whatever bad thing they've done because what's the point of that. suffering can be a motive for the bad things they do just as much as it could be part of the redemption arc - meaning that the suffering in itself isn't what makes a character good or bad. it's just A Thing That Happens. and i think that redemption-related suffering is boring unless ☝️ it is self-inflicted AND ☝️ it is seen as self-destructive/selfish/useless/etc

a previously evil/redeemed character who does good things now should be doing them because they want to, not because they feel like they have to repent or whatever. UNLESS. that repentance is self-destructive, a sign of a lack of actual growth, or sexy

some people really do need to start reminding themselves that the answer to "why didn't the character just do [something entirely different]" is often simply "because then there wouldn't be a story"
