In any form of fiction, there are usually genres that people donāt like. Maybe itās [anything related to horror], maybe itās [protagonists with harem], maybe itās [a lovable character being killed for the sake of āprogressā].
To me, it would be...
Fate. Unlike destiny, which is decided by the character, fate is destined by the āhigher forcesā; the gods, the world, the author. If it is oneās fate to die, then no matter what another does; the one character will die one way or another. (Ex. Steins;Gate.)
But fate is something related to the future; the unknown that has yet to pass. Search for a solution long enough, and you might be able to find your āhappy endingā. (Ex. Steins;Gate.)
Still, there is something objectively true that I donāt like. It feels like being told you suck at doing your hobby. Except unlike any hobby, fate isnāt exactly something you can āfixā or āimproveā.
Accepting fate is essentially being aware that true free will doesnāt exist; that we all simply āexist as characters of a large storyā, āliving in the momentā, waiting to be forgotten by the passage of time.
I donāt like fate. It makes me remember that even if I feel like I have free will, it doesnāt matter. Everything I do will be for naught (FMPOV) once I leave this world. Once the world and I mutually forget each other.
I donāt like fate. Thatās why I like regression and time travel stories; fiction about turning back time. There are many forms of time travel, but the one that scares me is the one that makes the most sense: Fixed timeline. āEverything that will happen after time travel, has already happened.ā
Unlike regression, which creates a new branching timeline, stories with fixed timelines usually make the audience realize the existence of fate; the lack of free will. (Ex. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.)
Now comes the reason why I am writing this post. Aside from giving āwhoever wants to know how to make me angry in roleplaying gamesā any ideas, I suddenly had a thought of a movie I watched months ago; Tenet (2020).
Spoiler: They have a gimmick where there is a machine which inverts the direction of time. Any bullet fired during the āinverted timeā becomes stuck in the past, so when seen from ānormal timeā, itās as if there had always been a bullet lodged in some random places, only to suddenly move back to the gun at bullet speed. (Effectively it would be as if someone āunshot a bulletā.)
In said movie, the MC at one point found a corpse before he was put in a dangerous position. (He was at gunpoint.) Just before someone shot him dead, the corpse ābrought back to lifeā and fought the enemy together with the MC. Later on the MC would realize it was a companion of his. The companion used the machine to save the MC, and died during āinverted timeā. The MC canāt prevent the companionās death, because he would be risking a time paradox (not shown in the movie), but if said corpse is not recovered and brought back to ānormal timeā, then that corpse is effectively rotting āin reverseā. From ānormal timeās POVā, it would appear as if particles slowly formed a corpse over the years, but from āreversed timeās POVā, that corpse is rotting back to the past.
Imagine that. Imagine finding a skull with a scratch marks on it, but when you try to trace the marks with your own nail, the marks disappear. Imagine realizing that the skull in your hand was once a human being, and -with enough time- will become alive again. But only briefly, because whoever will ācome back to lifeā (from your ānormal time POVā) is fated to die. Because whoever they were, they were now nothing but a skull. Whether they died before or after they were sent to āreverse timeā, it wonāt change the fact that you are holding proof of their death. The moment you identify the identity of that skull is the moment you curse yourself with the knowledge of that personās death.
A prophecy of someoneās death can be wrong, but holding proof of someoneās deathā¦ To me, that is the saddest way of expressing fate.

I donāt know what it is about Team Rocket but the fact their disguises like, always fucking work yet they blow them because the characters conveniently say the words āprepareā or ātroubleā which causes them to compulsively ditch their disguises and begin their motto is so funny to me idk why
