OOH good question! It’s not an intentional theme, but I do tend to favor characters who fit a certain mold (although they’re all really different on a deeper level), and if I start watching or reading something new, my friends can almost always guess who’s going to be my favorite right away.

My favorites are usually characters who are seen as weak on the outside, or are underestimated, but have an inner strength and perseverance that make them real survivors. They’re almost always idealistic and romantic, maybe a bit naive, and deeply emotional, because I relate to all of that. I like characters with a strong moral compass but who also struggle a lot with trusting their gut instincts, and can be guided off the right path due to their naivety or lack of self esteem - but will bounce back from it. Also they are usually kind of neurotic, intense and passionate, and typically have been dealt a rough hand in life… like I said, I like survivors, and I LOVE characters who get put through a lot of shit but never lose their inherent Goodness and devotion to justice, though they might build a wall up to make their soft hearts appear less vulnerable.

Current incarnation of my Kyle-themed playlist - to accompany the previously posted Cartman one (there are elements of both Kyman and Style here, if you’re looking for them - Stan list is coming soon). This one is my baby, so hopefully the Kyle aesthetic translates well!
