HERES MY DILEMMA. I haven't touched genshin in who knows how long but I'm very invested and caught up in the lore and story line of genshin. I feel like I need to actually play it and experience it really write the characters but at the same time, i've read about every character lore available :DD
I love writing genshin fics but It really takes someone out of the experience of reading said fic if information is incorrect you know? ooc if you will. It's understandable when it's ooc for the sake of a story but theres a limit to HOW ooc it can be.
ex. I would be honestly disinterested in a fic where albedo is this super happy chipper, bubbly, guy when it's widely known that he's a solemn character with limited emotions (though emotions are present). It is understandable if albedo would show hints of admiration and love towards another character if that is the motive.
And although other au's do call for a lot of creativity and ooc, they need to work together and make sense even if it's not following the original story. In other words, ooc needs to be done purposely. HEadcannons done right?
What is your opinion on this? does it take you out of the experience are are you fine with it? It's just been one of my pet peeves for a while and I don't want to find that in my own works because i read them too ya know?
ooc and derailization of the storyline is perfectly fine for fanfics, but to a point, it is just too much without explanation. HOW does it get to this point? WHY?
