One of my various silly, harms-no-one pet peeves in when people assign The Ceaseless Watcher to smart characters in a series just because they’re smart. Eye avatars aren’t smart, they’re curious. They’re the sort of person who realises they’re in too deep and instead of backing off, starts swimming. It’s the whole thing with The Eye: you know you should look away, or stop what’s happening, but instead you stand and you watch just so you can find out what happens next. You are walking to your doom with your eyes wide open.
