10 Characters, 10 Fandoms, [10 Songs,] 10 Tags
The esteemed Mili @rajalagang tagged me, and I have finally pared it down to ten. Some of these Blorbos do not, as far as I know, have a fandom at all, but I love the movie The Show, and The Invisibles was a hugely formative comic for me. Also Iām gonna give you a song for each of them, just ācause my hipster, so-old-that-Iām-still-occasionally-tempted-to-write-a-songfic ass likes to slap more music onto everything.
Adam Parrish - The Raven Cycle / The Dreamer Trilogy (In all his flawed, bitchy, mean bi glory.)
Diminishing Returns - Harvey Danger
Rhys - Tales from the Borderlands (Haven't gotten around to BL3 yet because I stupidly bought it for XBox and was lost without WASD and twenty carefully mapped mouse buttons.)
David - John Dies at the End (Oh, David. He's like if a character exposed to Eldritch horrors beyond his ken was capable of intense compartmentalization and swinging a baseball bat like a champ.)
Foreign Object - The Mountain Goats
Joy Wang / Jobu Tupaki - Everything Everywhere All at Once (Yes, baby, make it everybody's problem while dressing like the God you are.)
People II: The Reckoning - AJJ
Fletcher Dennis - The Show (Watch this, it's trippy and cool)
Five - The Umbrella Academy (Long pants at last! Cranky man child mathematician.)
Hereās Your Future - The Thermals
Sergey Razumovsky - Major Grom (movie and comics) (Okay, but this tech billionaire villain is a queer ācodedā [the code is pig Latin- no one is being fooled but Bubble comics is still, technically, in the clear] sad little meow meow and I love him, your honor.)
Puppet Loosely Strung - The Correspondents
Dr. Leonard āBonesā McCoy - Star Trek (He and Spock are my fictional dads. The rest of the crew are my fun aunts and uncles.)
Lord Fanny - The Invisibles (there are lots of problematic aspects to this character, but this was one of my earliest, longest exposures to a trans character and she meant, and means, so much to me.)
I donāt have the mental wherewithal right this sec to tag specific people so if you are reading this I am tagging you! If youāre thinking, āthat probably means mutuals, they donāt mean meā I DO MEAN YOU and we would probably be mutuals if I wasnāt avoiding spoilers on 9000 things. You donāt have to, or if you do you donāt have to include songs but I hope you do because I like it.
