This should be interesting.
I'm counting the ensemble as one character. Deal with it. (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )

rule: select 10 of your favourite characters, then tag some friendlies to do the same.
Thank you to the wonderful @a-cosmic-elf for the tag!!
I had to really think about this one lol.
1.) Sherlock Holmes
Cumberbatchs' Sherlock has me TO SHADES OF CHRONICALLY HORNY...but I also have loved good ol Sherly since I was a kid. As a nuerodiverse kid with EXTREME pattern recognition, Sherls was an Icon.
2.) Drizzt Do'Urden
I've been reading my way through R.A. Salvatores' Dark Elf books, and Drizzt is my homeboy. I would die for Drizzt. If anyone harmed a hair on this sweet babys head, I would go scorched earth.
3.) Wheatley from Portal 2
His betrayal was the most heart break I had ever experienced as a young adult. I can't fucking believe you Wheatley...you still my boi tho.
4.) GLaDOS Portal 2
SHES JUST MISSUNDERSTOOD YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.
5.) Deacon from Fallout 4
Husband.
6.) Jounouchi Katsuya from Yu-Gi-Oh
A deep cut, but preteen and teenage Kimbo, LOVED Jou. The first blonde bimbo I ever fell for.
7.) Nazir from Skyrim
The puns, the dry delivery, the matter fact way of speaking, THE DAD VIBES. Nazir is the dad of the Sanctuary and you cannot convince me otherwise. During my first playthrough I ran though the ruined Sanctuary screaming "NAZIRRRRRR NAZIIIIRRRRRR!!!!!! YOU BETTER BE ALIVE."
8.) Hadrian Sanon from Starfield
My Simpdom for this woman is well documented across this Tumblr page. I AM DOWN BAD FOR THIS WOMAN. WHY CANT SHE BE REAAAAAALLLLLL HADRIAN MY LOVE.
9.) Minthara Baenre from Bladurs Gate 3
SHES JUST MISSUNDERSTOOD OKAY. God, when she gives you the puppy eyes in game?? SWOON. I got a thing for Drow okay, I don't want to unpack that.
10.) Hans Capon from Kingdom Come Deliverance
My newest Blorbo, yet another blonde Twink to add to my collection.
No pressure tags to my homies @fangbangerghoul @lisa-and-shadow @bearlytolerant @atonalginger @silent-moons-camp @toxiclizardwrites @eridanidreams @ellstersmash and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it!
Thank you so much for the tag @fettuccin-e!! This one was a lot of fun to do and a welcome distraction before an appointment I am nervous to go to soon. I attempted to not make these all Charlie Cox characters (you already know I love Henry and Owen even though I had to include my main loves) and I included a couple of my gaming loves!
This is long (and quickly became a thirst post 😅) so gifs and answers below the cut!
Matt Murdock - Daredevil (Y'all saw this coming. He's my comfort character and the fictional man I'm forever in love with who happens to control my brain.)
Frank Castle - Punisher (I have tumblr to thank for having me fall for Frank. But LOOK AT HIM. I just want to see that man smile.)
Joel Miller - The Last of Us (yes, hello, surprise. I love him, too. Haven't played the games though but I'm tempted.)
Michael Kinsella - Kin (I'd marry him in a heartbeat. I don't care if he's killed people; let me just take care of you and drag you away from your family, Mikey)
Geralt of Rivia - Witcher games, books, & Netflix series (fell in love with him in the games and books and then even more seeing Henry Cavill's amazing portrayl of him despite my qualms with the Netflix show)
Daryl Dixon - The Walking Dead (been in love with him for years now and I can't stop wanting him 😫)
Sam Coe - Starfield (my current love: the DILF space cowboy who I love and will marry every iteration of in every universe in every playthrough. I cannot resist his voice and his jokes.)
Sam Winchester - Supernatural (my first hyperfixation and who I got into writing fanfic for years ago. Love you Dean but I will always love Sam more sorry not sorry.)
Jax Teller - Sons of Anarchy (badass biker with a good heart and that face and body and tattoos. Need I say more?)
Eivor - Assassin's Creed Valhalla (my favorite of the games personally and I just love him and had to include him, okay?)

Thank you @fettuccin-e @yarrystyleeza @shouldbestudying41 and @hailey-murdock for the tags!
1. Matt Murdock – Daredevil (The character that got me back into writing after a 2 year break. He’s my husband. I love him with all my heart. He owns me. I’m never leaving. Also, he made me discover Charlie.)
2. Spencer Reid – Criminal Minds (Boy genius. Cinnamon role. He’s been through far too much. He’s so adorable. I want to put him in my pocket. He was the first ever character I wrote fanfic for years ago. The show also got me interested in criminal psychology.)
3. Michael Kinsella – Kin (Now he is daddy. He’s my hot mafia husband who just needs a hug and someone to take care of him. Also, I hate his family. I just want to take him far away from that. I’d make a great stepmom for Anna, I think. They both deserve some peace. Kin got me hooked after I started watching it for Charlie only.)
4. Eddie Munson – Stranger Things (He’s the age-appropriate choice. I’m not usually into metal heads but there’s something about him that got me hooked when I first saw him. Also had too little screen time, but I still have hope he’ll appear in Season 5)
5. Frank Castle – Punisher (There is something so attractive about men covered in blood. He’s morally grey but, like, in a cool way. So what if he kills people?)
6. Addison Montgomery – Grey’s Anatomy (Mommy. That’s all I’ve got to say. I love her so much. I want her to adopt me. I want to be her child.)
7. Loki – Loki, Avengers, etc. (Does he count? I feel like he should count. Because I am so in love with Loki, it drives me crazy. Maybe it’s the Tom Hiddleston obsession, or maybe it’s because I like my anti-heroes with dark hair.)
8. Peter Parker – The Amazing Spider-Man (I’m talking Andrew’s Spidey. He’s my favorite Spidey. Because I grew up with him, and I love Andrew. I just want to give him a hug. The thing with Gwen BROKE me, and also her back.)
9. Fleabag – Fleabag (Does anyone know her real name? I don’t know, but the show was so real, and SHE was so real, I will forever love her)
10. Phoebe Buffay – Friends (She’s me. I am her. Phoebe is so crazy, it’s almost endearing. The crazy part reminds me a lot of myself. I can’t help but love her)
No pressure tags (I’m sorry if you’ve already been tagged): @blackshadowswriter @linamarr @mattmurdocksscars @itwasthereaminuteago @pastafossa
i was tagged by @mariejordans ! This is a treat, because I rarely just sit and think about my characters anymore. In no particular order, here are 10 characters I adore, admire, or will otherwise defend with my whole heart!!
Grace Monroe, Infinity Train
2. Amber Bennett, Invincible
3. Quinn Ergon, Final Space
4. Beth Chapel, Stargirl
5. Ava Coleman, Abbott Elementary
6. Sue Wilson, Veep
7. Leshawna, Total Drama
8. Naevia, Spartacus
9. Nyota Uhura, Star Trek
10. Charlotte Page, Henry Danger
I almost did an honorable mentions, because I love A LOT of characters, but there were a few I strongly considered swapping out for a few of these. BUT, I will stand by this decision on this day.
No rules attached to this one so I guess, just go for my faves (Without duplicating a fandom)... I feel like this is going to highlight at least one of my "types" but I guess I've outed myself on that front before rofl.
Tagging forward, with no pressure, to; @faelanvance, @cwritesfiction, @theunboundwriter, @arigalefantasynovels, @acertainmoshke, @avrablake, @ashen-crest, @sleepyowlwrites, @tisiphonewolfe, and anyone else who wants to play! <3
So, without further ado, my Favorite Characters in some of my favourite fandoms, in NO SPECIFIC ORDER...
One
Fandom; Doctor Who.
Character; Doctor Who, Tenth Incarnation
David Tennant's run as The Doctor was my favourite. It was a magical combination of a phenomenal actor, a brilliant "companion", and A+ writing team, but it made me fall in love with the character as a whole. Smart, Intellligent, Alien, but also Vulnerable, and ineffably Human.
Two
Fandom; Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Character; Tony Stark
And I do mean "Tony Stark", not "Iron Man". Don't get me wrong, Iron Man is cool, and is definitely my favourite Avenger, but it's because it's Tony Stark inside the suit. It's the intelligence of the character that, again, captivates me and as a writer I see so much potential there. If I wasn't so busy with my own writing projects I'd be very tempted to jump back into fandom again just to have a play with Tony Stark's possibilities.
Three
Fandom; Sherlock Holmes.
Character; Sherlock
This one had to make the list considering my pen name! I've loved many of the Holmes adaptions, and but there's something specifically about Benedict Cumberbatch's Holmes where you can just see that brilliant mind ticking away behind his eyes.
Four
Fandom; The Mentalist
Character; Patrick Jane
I thought the whole Mentalist story was phenomenal, and the backstory for the character of Patrick Jane, genuis. I also love how much Jane is aware that usually he's the smartest person in the room, but is also painfully aware when he's not.
Five
Fandom; Vincenzo
Character; Vincenzo Cassano aka Park Joo-hyung
This is a newer addition to my list, and I've only seen the series once so my memory may be a little shaky, but this was another highly intelligent character. A little vicious, a little violent, but at heart also a good person, and I fell a little in love with the character every episode.
And now, let me pivot into my second "type"...
Six
Fandom; Lord of the Rings
Character; Strider aka Aragorn son of Arathorn
The OG Fandom Fave, Lord of the Rings got me into fanfiction. I began my online writing career by writing a "10th Walker" fanfiction that never saw the light of day, because I've always found Arwen's character very frustrating. Then the films were released, and the rest is history. But give me Strider over the polished King Aragorn any day!
Seven
Fandom; Shadow and Bone (Netflix)
Character; General Aleksander Kirigan aka The Darkling aka Aleksander Morozova
This one is a little more specific because I haven't read the books, so I have ZERO idea how accurate the series is to the original material, but Ben Barnes, specifically, as the Darkling is all my favourite things mixed up into one character. Smart, Intelligent, Damaged, Rough around the edges, In dire need of saving from himself. He's got it all.
Eight
Fandom; The 100
Character; Prince Roan of Azgeda
Another character that I feel had wasted potential! I think they could have done so much MORE with this character but, much like Shadow and Bone, I've not read the books! So it's possible Prince Roan had a bigger, better, for fulfilling part there than the TV Series.
Nine
Fandom; The Witcher
Character; Geralt of Rivia
Look. I've loved Geralt forever. I loved him in the CDProjecktRed games. I bought the books, and loved him there, and then Henry Cavill went and made the 100% hands down perfect Geralt on screen. What more can I say?
Ten
Fandom; The Vampire Diaries/The Originals
Character; Klaus Mikaelson
Is there a better example of a morally grey character? Not one I've found, to be honest. Klaus has a freaking tragic backstory, and it's completely twisted his worldview. Does he need a good smack upside he head to teach him that his methods are fucked? Absolutely. Does that make me love him any less? Absolutely not!
