o lawd, why must you torment me so.. every time someone asks who my favorite characters are, or what movies/books/series I like .. mind goes blank 😅 I.. ummm.. actually don't like anything, bye!
nah, ok, let's get this done, shall we
thank you for the tag, my dearest @thepalelawyer
in no particular order!
Lestat de LyingCourt 😁
listen, I have yet to read the books, but he's so beautifully unhinged and insufferable that I'll even like him played by Tom Cruise and that is saying A LOT
Ripley
as summarized by this person's wise wife (no notes):
Gilfoyle
from Silicon Valley, since I'm sure not many of you've seen the show.. But as someone who's constantly annoyed, has deadpan humor and works in IT AND identifies as a little shit AND is fucking good at their job, he's my kindred spirit
Hannibal Lecter
credit for the art (love their stuff overall!)
I actually have the OG Hannibal in his mask tattooed, but I've chosen this one played by Mads, because he holds a special place in my heart, and I'm still not over the fact they cancelled that show, so.
Frankenstein's monster
Another one I have tattooed. I could talk at length about why this character speaks to me so deeply. I think there's something about reading about the creature's desperate wish to understand humans, only to be so cruelly hurt by them, that just resonates with me. There are a LOT of problematic interpretations of the character, and I'm not 100% sold on the latest iteration — my favorite remains to be the original book version, but I am partial to the Universal Studios Monsters version as well, although that one again differs from the book, but I do like the og design.
Daenerys
art credit
I was deciding whether to include Dany, I feel like it's a cliché — of course I enjoy the Targaryen who defied all odds and has all the cool lines like: "Fire cannot kill a dragon." And I enjoy her in her madness as well. I did not like the Jon Snow ending in the show all that much, but since George [insert clenched fist emoji] is not giving us anything, sigh, I'll take it.
Aloy
credit for art
I love strong female characters and redheads, sue me. I wish there was more to her story, but it's definitely one that I enjoy very much and I recommend Horizon Zero Dawn to anyone
Furiosa
I've seen Mad Max: Fury Road in theatres 13 times, I believe, and it's easily my favorite movie of all time. I love that there's not a lot of dialogue, it's raw and based on imagery rather than dialogue, which is in direct contrast with anything else I usually like, hahah! but I couldn't not mention her, although I haven't enjoyed her standalone movie as much
Harley & Poison Ivy
and two more characters that I have tattooed! this is a theme as you can see lol
I grouped them together because I love their backstory in Harley Quinn's comics — I believe this one is from 2022, but I'm not up to date with the more recent releases. I prefer the comic version to the ones portrayed in any of the movies, but I do also like Margot's Harley.
and I guess these guys 🙄😁
I didn't want to say just one of them, my original plan was to romance Karlach, but I tripped and fell on the vampire 9 times before I romanced anyone else 🤡, including the other three here, who are all dear to my heart, and I love them equally! didn't have a proper pic with all of them, so forgive my makeshift collage lol
Tagging @perpetualmaladaptivedaydream @daisy-dewdrop-fluffington @optimisticgrey @andromedaancunin
Sorry if you've already done it, my tumblr doesn't show me the good stuff and I also have amnesia, and no pressure if you don't feel like it, as always!
forgive my incoherent rambling, anything I wrote was not edited and is pure stream of consciousness, sorry or you're welcome 😅
