I am terrified to know whether Boris or Theo was the designated sweaterboy in The Goldfinch because OH BOY neither one of them is settled or stable.
.................okay this one was a bad example. (Also, my experience of both of those fandoms was in a vague, second- and third-hand, "oh, look what the neighbors are doing now" kind of way. Possibly Theo was the sweaterboy, because Boris seems like a solid choice for absolute nightmare? Although really that seems like more of an Absolute Nightmare 4 Absolute Nightmare situation.)
Note that one of the "sweaterboy" examples given in the article I linked was Grantaire from Les Mis, so we're at like, unhinged levels of fanon-characterization nonsense here. Which I guess loops us back around to woobie/woobified.
Honestly the Ultimate Sweaterboy is Quentin Coldwater from The Magicians TV show. Absolutely not in the books though.
