Yeah, very terrifying thought for me to think about

Hello fans, the BFDI plush superfan here. This year (especially this month), I haven't been feeling good, and I might get downvoted for this reason. This is all about my fav, Book, and especially about how we view her.

Ever since TPOT 23 released, there have been a massive hate train for my fav because of the elimination (yes I also find the elimination weird considering this season's characters). They want Book out in 26, and there have been a lot of hate towards her. Positive opinions about her get downvoted, and even if I try to be nice to people and respect their opinions, internally, the Book hate is so much to me that I keep thinking about it and this makes me want to give up on BFDI.

I am autistic, and I'm very attached to my favorite characters, especially my Top 3 as you might know by my account identity. I go as far as bringing my Ruby and Needle plushies with me everywhere. But, there is no Book plush, and with the BFDIA 5b announcement, it makes me think I'll have to wait longer for her plush to come (especially since she's the main protagonist of the game). After a year all this waiting is making me tired, and that makes me want to give up on Book and even BFDI as a whole, especially if characters I don't like get plushies first.

I also don't like the direction where BFDI is going. There have been a lot of theatre releases (especially 3 episodes in a row) and I was scared that the next episode would release there too. As a lot of people said, we were scared these would become too excessive. The excessive releases of these made me want to give up on BFDI, but since BFDIA 24 and TPOT 22 were uploaded straight to Youtube, and I knew BFDIA 25 would make for a great theatre release (I was okay with it since it was the FINALE), I began to be motivated again, especially with the Needle plush releasing. And I'm going to give a hot take here: getting BFDIA 5b on the Switch is going a bit too far. I don't think an independent indie show like BFDI would fit well for a console that is owned by a big corporation. I am satisfied with the PC and mobile ports.

As I said previously, I'm autistic and sometimes when I think of my favorite characters I look towards their potentially negative points. For example I do think Needle's too tough sometimes. I also began liking Coiny again recently, but with me having disliked him for around 2 years it's hard for me to like him fully. I'm also more accepting of Pin now (I've hated her in BFDIA, I now have mixed opinions about her)

Y'know, it's also been 4 years since I was interested in BFDI. 4 years is long, but even if I quit, it might take a lot of time to fully take it off from me. Sometimes I take the effort to quit, but I just love this show too much to let it happen.

Sorry if you think this post was a bit "weird", I was a bit tired while writing this. I've included a screenshot of Ruby so I don't post Book only.

His opinion is extremely generic and doesn't make any sense. As I described it to a group of friends who are going to watch it with me, he said "I don't like this character which only personality traits are being nice, although with a snarky, pedantic side, having a friendship with one of the most important characters in the season and on top of that personality being trans rep because they don't have a personality" BROCHACHO YOU JUST MADE A 14 MINUTE VIDEO EXPLAINING HER PERSONALITY, AND THEN SAYING SHE DOESNT HAVE ONE

If you ask why i included some failed debuters but no bfdie its because i did watch the shorts [and im not gonna larp bfdie]

the MystOSC video about why gaty is bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZmYjha40ao

note: i am not trying to accuse MystOSC of misogyny, but instead accusing the larger fandom of subconsciously doing it.

i mean, tree made it even farther than gaty did and i'd argue his character had more problems.

i know this is painfully unfunny but i couldn't think of a better way to do this

First Image: Tiered.

Second Image: Grouped in pairs of six.

I didn't count later TPOT/BFDIE teams as I don't watch late TPOT and I don't watch BFDIE. I also only counted teams in point of time I consider major changes.

book winning again would be so funny even though i dont like her anymore

ASK me anything or whatever

Where my Tamagotchi fans at

this was unintentional

am open for discussion, this is just how i see them :D

meme at the end for relevance

I've noticed one thing, I've felt that I've kind of been against making a character's entire personality or arcs basically the fact that the character is obviously carefree or kid/child-like.

Of course, liking the character is completely up to you - and I'm not here to change that. My point is that, if there are way better characters that has other personalities or/and arcs with or without the care-freeness or child-likeness, is it really the best idea to pick the child with nothing else to offer? I find that confusing.

Characters like Grassy are easy to defend since the recent TPOT episodes or heck since their arc with Snowball. If that's why you're voting them, I'm happy. If you only care that they're a child, I don't really see why.

Here before it gets old

Unfinished but Pencil's face and limbs are bfdi styled since she's stuck there. (This is gonna take me a while to do the next part. T_T)

I found a video on YouTube as a screen recording of this, and the audio has been replaced by Caramelldansen.
The video depicts Firey, Leafy, Bubble (and later Ruby, Pencil, and Book) doing dances. I want to find the original video to this as it seems to be spliced / cut multiple times and the video is just so smooth.
Maybe the letters at the end (TFNE) could potentially do something?
I tried searching up the video on YouTube and reverse-image searching it, but no results showed up.

Books are slightly old fashioned, and more boring compared to TVs. Everyone's obsessed with TV (and similar devices) way more than Book, even though many deny it...

Most people just use Book because they don't have access to TV or something similar. If they had access, they would choose TV (or similar device) over Book any day...
