like take Adam for instance. In the book, his main goal in life is to live normally and make a friend. what does he do here? gets a job and meets a girl.
and holmes and poirot immediately began solving our mysteries.
idk, just a thought.
Again, Scenario Theory. It's confirmed. The characters aren't the only things coming through. Their plot conventions and story types follow. Little sections of the worlds they originate in.
Plot conventions? Wouldn't it be just their habits and behaviour? They're acting in-character, isn't that just it?
I agree with this. They're the same characters, so they will act the same way here as they did in their stories. If the stories are repeating themselves, that's only because that's what the characters would normally be doing.
As one of the detectives pointed out earlier, the reason they're always stumbling onto mysteries everywhere they go is because they are detectives and they are specifically offering their services as detectives and looking for things to solve.
Peter Pan, who once met a girl named Wendy and took her to Neverland, is perhaps seeking out girls named Wendy and doing the same, perhaps because he believes it might help him return home or something like that.
The characters are causing their own stories to happen, not because the stories are following them out of the wall, but because that's what these characters do, no matter where they are.
If everyone would just agree with me, there would never be any problems.
