My gratitude to @nejene for tagging me :â3
10 of my favourite fictional characters, listed in no particular order and from different stages of my life:
Professor Remus J. Lupin from Harry Potter. Why? Because I have a very soft, very vulnerable spot for characters who bore unimaginable cruelties at worldâs hands and stayed kind despite them.
Georgia Nicolson - I used to love those books as a 12-year-old gal :â3
the 9th/12th Doctor - kindness in the face of all the terrible things heâs seen and done. Need I say more?
Sherlock Holmes (or Jim? Mycroft?? I LOVE Mrs Hudson but I think I might like Gellert Lestrade more O...o Merlin, itâs hard to chose just one!!) - why? The neurodivergency! The wit and the way he keeps his cool! I love the book Holmes for being a gentleman at all times and the BBC one for his brokenness and the way he tries to navigate the world of emotions with only a little experience of his own
The Joker (from some of the DC comics and the Dark Knight. Joaquin Phoenix also did a wonderful job :â3) - Yeah, besides kind characters I do have a thing for quality villains as well. Mainly because their backstories and the fact that their potentional redemption arc would be damn interesting.
Artemis Fowl (or Holy Short??) from the Artemis Fowl book series. Or was it Mulch? Or Root?? SO MANY great characters :â)) I love Artemis because of his character developement from a mean and cold boy to someone else entirely and Holy bcause of the way she stays true to herself no matter what.
Megamind!! - Villain? Check! Kind when it comes to it? Check!
Jonathan Sims (TMA) - um... just.. a whole lotta kindness and brokenness hidden underneath an unapproachable persona. (...villain? As well, on some level. - See? Irresistible.)
Foggy Nelson from Daredevil - So! Much! Kindness! And! Softness! And! Humour! And! Suffering! Yayy!
Javert (or Grantaire??) - ....I mean. After reading the list, are you even surprised? Difficult past and the potential for wonderfully soul-crushing Valjean-esque redemption arc is there!!! if he (spoiler) didnât go for a swim at the end O...o ..I realise I mainly enjoy him so much because of the potential he has but it is what it is and Iâm not gonna berate my brain for latching onto good AUs :â3
(I do realise these are basically all men and I do think reading something female-centric could be very beneficial for me but thatâs future Mâs thing. Now, the list looks like this :â))
I tag @anyone whoâd like to participate! Itâs been really interesting, having to dig around my brain to put this list together - I recommend trying it :â3
