1st VS 3rd Person POV In Different Genres

1st VS 3rd Person POV In Different Genres

So I saw a post about this recently ( i will track it down eventually), but i wanted to illustrate my point (literally).

For Horror, romance etc. I generally use 1st person, because it helps me portray emotion better. As in the illustration, it helps with suspense. You aren't the all-knowing 3rd person and can be surprised. You feel the emotion of the characters!

For anything that isn't emotion-based and relies heavily on description and being able to see further than one person can (sci-fi, for example) 3rd person is the standard.

tl;dr: for emotion, you use 1st person, for description, you use 3rd person.

BNHA Theories: #1

Starting off strong: the Red Shoe Theory. This theory is the theory that, as quirkless people have an extra toe joint in their pinkie toe, they need specialised shoes to accommodate a longer toe, thus leading to the red shoe theory. The red shoes that Izuku Midoriya (Deku) wears canonically have a more squared-off toe shape, that would accommodate the longer toe caused by his quirklessness. Some take this further by suggesting that the shoes are in fact, a 'quirkless' or 'primordial' brand shoe, that is the only shoe that quirkless people can wear without foot pain. Many have added more to this theory: for a good example, refer to Otaku6337's Laces worldbuilding on Archive of Our Own (Ao3).

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you "the government wouldn't do that!" – they're gaslighting you. Bark at them. Bare your teeth and let them know that you know what you saw and what you heard. Don't move an inch from the standpoint you have, don't let anybody talk you out of the picture you've made yourself. It's not "oh yes they would", anymore. It's "they do and they will continue to do so." Be attentive. You know what's happening. Be loud about it.
