TMA fanon character designs are all based on stereotypes. Every single one of them.
Well, yeah.
And then there’s Angry At Everything Melanie. I feel bad for this treatment she got.
True. I was gonna mention her too but I got tired. And Peter Lukas being made into this huge gruffy bearded guy to contrast the fanon design of evil twink Elias. Feels like people just googled “sea captain” chose the first pic that popped up and ran with it - again a stereotype just not a harmful one
Also referring to your tags: I wouldn’t have such a problem with the differences between fanon and canon if people actually separated them. But a lot of fans act as if fanon is sacred (esp concerning the designs but yknow. Personalities too)
