ROUND 7 — Match 3 of 4

Crowley (Good Omens)

Identity: Queer, explicit; Genderfluid, Word of God Notes: Referred to as genderfluid by a creator, and explicitly in love with Aziraphale. Propaganda: 1. "Crowley is the definition of “acts like he doesn’t care, cares the most.” He spends the entire time pretending he’s above everything - above Heaven, above Hell, above feelings, above attachment - and then every single choice he makes is basically him picking Aziraphale, picking Earth, picking the small good things, over and over again. He complains the whole way through it, obviously, but he still does it. Also: he’s just funny. Not sitcom funny, just the way he reacts to things like he’s exhausted by everyone else’s nonsense. The little tantrums, the sulking, the instant mood swings from smug to panicked when something goes wrong. And I love that he’s not some “cool bad boy” type. He’s dramatic. He’s anxious. He’s needy in a way he’d rather die than admit. He wants to be understood, and he wants someone to choose him back, and he’s been stuck pretending he doesn’t. And the best part is he’s genuinely soft in action even when he’s mean in words. He’ll act like he’s doing the bare minimum and then it’s like. okay. sure. because this is totally what someone does when they “don’t care.”" 2. "crowley is such an easy one to campaign for because he’s half the reason good omens works as well as it does. he’s bitchy, dramatic, vain, ridiculous, and acting like he’s above everything at all times, but under all that he’s also so obviously attached, so obviously sentimental, and so obviously doomed by the fact he cares far more than he wants to admit. and as a queer character he means a lot because the whole thing with aziraphale is not subtle, their relationship is the emotional core of the story, and crowley is such a huge part of why it hits - all that longing, devotion, frustration, softness buried under swagger. he’s funny and iconic, sure, but he’s also one of those characters where the love story is what really gets people."

vs. Murderbot (The Murderbot Diaries)

Identity: Asexual and Agender, explicit Notes: Directly identifies as genderless and uninterested in sex in-text, later reaffirmed by Martha Wells. Propaganda: "MURDERBOT MY FAVORITE PROTAGONIST POSSIBLY EVER. A "construct" of mixed human/robot parts, it is a snarky anxious loyal bitter mess of a person who is still kind of grappling with the idea that it IS a person and what that actually means for itself and its place in the world. Aroace feelings more relateable than most characters "deliberately" written to be aroace imo, it resonates with me intensely. Partially because it's just, a really good character with a really strong character voice. I have read these books probably more times than any other books because I'm like I want to hang out with Murderbot my friend Murderbot"
