Nurturing Cancers

from To Trope or Not to Trope Hosted by To Trope Or Not To Trope

It’s nowhere near Cancer season, but we’re talking about it anyway because we’ll be on hiatus in July. Join us this episode as we talk about nurturing characters in every capacity, with such hot takes as “Steve Harrington is a better father figure than Hopper,” “Regina George is more nurturing than Lorelai Gilmore,” and “Carlisle 100% should have been the main character of Twilight.” From smothering mothers to reluctant father figures, side characters nerfed by niceness to plant girlies who should have ended up with Warren Peace, this episode is here for all your nurturing character needs. Disclaimer: We are in no way making a comment on actual Cancers, nor are we talking about canonically Cancer characters—we’re simply using Cancer traits as a frame to talk about writing fictional characters.
