Favorite Fictional Characters:
................................um.
I like more characters! I have a favorite character for every book and show and movie and whatnot! I like Arjuna (Mahabharata) and Odysseus (Iliad/Odyssey) and Robb Stark (ASOIAF) and Arthur Pendragon (BBC Merlin) and Derek Hale (Teen Wolf) and Rin Matsuoka (Free!) and Wolfram von Bielefeld (Kyou Kara Maou) and Rachel (Animorphs) and the Weasley Twins (Harry Potter) and--others! Lots of others!
Just. I can’t put anyone else on the same list as Dick Grayson and Bucky Barnes. I don’t like any of them that much.
Assuming this is talking about published stories and I can’t include fanfics, this list consists entirely of my childhood favorites, because no book I’ve read since then has stuck with me the way these stories have. I read all the epics in prose form. The first four were the bedtime stories my parents were sick of repeating by the time I was like, five, and I read all of these as soon as I could spell out the words and understand the sentences. Every single one of these was a first love for me.
Mahabharata -- Vyasa, et al
Ramayana -- Valmiki, et al
Upendrakishore Rachonaboli -- Updendrakishore Ray Chowdhury
Pride and Prejudice -- Jane Austen
Black Beauty -- Anna Sewell
Almost everything every written by -- Enid Blyton
Yeah, I can’t name just one.
Pokemon (till the end of Hoenn League)
Digimon (seasons 1 and 2)
Ouran High School Host Club
Teen Titans (okay fine no more cartoons or that’s all this list is gonna be)
Reality TV is a guilty pleasure
Last Movie I’ve Seen in Cinemas: Jurassic World. I watch two movies in theater per year. In 2016 that’s gonna be Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman.
Dream Holiday: Eurotrip, for sure.
Dream Wedding: Marriage is not my thing but if I can ditch the groom part of the wedding I really really really want a traditional Bangladeshi wedding so I can get dressed up and dolled up all expensive and professionally and do magazine photoshoots and get sat on a beautifully decorated stage for kids to stumble over the pretty princess they all want to touch and for adults to ogle and compliment and take photos with and whisper about--how much that tissue chiffon sari-thing cost and where that gemstone-laden jewelry was imported from and where did she get her makeup done is that really her natural skin tone or do you think the parlor just used lighter foundation--behind my back while I sit there and bask in the attention and pretend I can’t hear them because everyone knows they’re really just jealous and--yeah basically I just want a Bangladeshi wedding minus the groom. The bride at a Bangladeshi wedding is literally the centerpiece, the star attraction, the main event. And I’m a narcissist.
I don’t want to get married, but I do want that wedding.
Dream Job: Literary critic. I just want to read really good stories and tell people what I thought of them. Unfortunately in order to get there you first have to be an accomplished writer which, yeah, I wish.
Favorite Song (at the moment): I will be right here waiting for you -- Richard Marx
