In a way, a Mary Sue is the ultimate flaw because it’s probably the worst trait a character can have in a story.

[ireneiniguez]

Don't forget the one flaw that all Mary Sues have

*being clumsy*

[cmmr]

"Makes her wear dresses or go to school" those monsters.

[catytailex]

"Half dragon, half vampire, half angel, half elven princess "
Literally every cliche gacha hated child ever

[thekaticorn]

Mary Sue: *dies*
Comic relief character: Z A P P E R S

[moonbyulsradish]

Every wattpad author: *WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN*

[vicky]

Hollywood writing female protagonist. And remember kids, the only flaws she can have are the ones that make her *_quirky_*

[erica]

And she has to be “unpopular” and have bullies

[revierr]

This dude just named like 90% of gacha main characters.

[ghenesapaulma]

OH! And don't forget to name her with the prettiest and most unique names u could think of!

1:29 "Cares too much" and "Too kind and selfless" can be a legitimate flaw in good writers' hands... but those who write Mary Sue are not good writers.

[lambadajewo.]

You know what? I'd like to read the story with character being a total Mary Sue. Not only stunningly beautiful, cute, sweet, good-natured, smart, being a half dragon, angel, vampire, vulcan and whatever you want. Exept that she would be an antagonist of the story.

Having a Mary Sue is a fun thing when you write a private story that will never see the light of day.

[doomlord]

If a Mary sue is liked by everyone, then why does abusive parents and villains exist?

[jundsheep]

This sounds like every cliche romance story protagonist on Wattpad. Practically all werewolf romances.

[raindb]

This is all of the "Hated child becomes a hybrid princess." Stories in Gacha Life

[anneclaudia]

"Cheap"
"Lazy"
"Spending time watching youtube rather than writing"

I feel attacked

[randomperson]

Ok, seriously, good idea for a character:
Regular person who thinks they’re a Mary Sue (or even an actual one), but everyone else doesn’t care about them and hates them or pretends like they don’t exist and all of their actual talents are hidden behind a thick veil of narcissism.

I remember in 3rd grade I wrote this story called "diary of a lucky girl" and it was the most Mary sue story i had ever heard. In one page/day the only thing that happens is the principal calls her into the office and gives her $100 000 000 for literally no reason. The only time she faces a problem is when she gets kidnapped by her enemies and tied to a bomb, but LUCKILY it started raining and that put out the fire/spark thingy on the rope of the TNT and her mom is a cop so she arrested them

You forgot the most important part!
