Enjolras (Les Miserables) vs Clopin Trouillefou (Notre Dame de Paris)

propaganda:

Enjolras:

We love a man with a cause resigned to a tragic fate. Juxtaposition between his passion for patria and his description as a 'marble' man, idk its doin something for me. Also musicalverse Enjolras is incredibly hot no matter who plays him and Was in fact tween me's sexual awakening. Smthin about a man who would be completely and utterly uninterested in me irl is also... idk... kinda sexy 😏😏 he def gives me gay ace vibes but that's OK I'll just sit back and read my silly little stories and admire from afar.

“a charming young man, who was capable of being terrible” is that not the core of the sexyperson trope when you get down to it?

Trouillefou:

he is so silly and goofy. the only thing to ever beat him was a gun in the book because. he is a cutthroat but not a cutpurse and hes cool in most versions i think. look at him go!

someone also sent in this post for jesus

(for Judas) saw that jesus was on here. fucked with that. decided judas needed to be too

Medea (Greek mythology) vs Benedick and Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing)

medea

ben and bea

Voting ended onDec 29, 2023

propaganda:

Medea:

You cannot convince me that if Medea were the protagonist of a modern tv show people would not be ALL OVER her murderous swag and drama. Imagine the discussions over this murder girlboss. Imagine the discourse after she kills her kids. I feel like it would be like…Hannibal.

Benedick and Beatrice:

(for Benedick) Arrogant and witty little shit liked by women

(also for Benedick) he's silly he's stupid he's david tennant that one time. he deserves to be here (for Beatrice) i think she quite possibly has more sexyman energy than benedick. like the logic for her being here is pretty much the same except for the david tennant bit but something about her makes me feel like she's even More of a sexyman idk
