i don't know, i've never really been a "character" person

i like characters, but to me, they're just tiny pieces of a bigger picture whose only real function is to give life to a narrative, and in a well-written story, they're all equally important, so in those cases, i just wind up "appreciating" each character's role in the story more than i care to pick favorites

it would be easier if you asked me about a specific thing—like, for example, my favorite TLA character is probably zuko, but i would never say he's my favorite character of all time

when i play fighting games, oftentimes, my main will end up becoming a "favorite" of mine, but more because their playstyle resonates with me in some way—i never really gave a shit about jigglypuff as a pokémon before i started picking her in smash, and though she's still not exactly one of my top favorites, i have indeed developed somewhat of an emotional attachment to the dumb thing because of how much time i've spent trying to get good with her

same in street fighter—i chose balrog because he's based on mike tyson, and that's cool, but because i've played him so much, i'm attached to him, and i find that his playstyle strongly resonates with my desire to physically obliterate people in that game with a big dumb boxer

but that's kinda different i think

in fact, there are many stories i deeply enjoy where having a "favorite character" would almost be missing the point, in a way—like evangelion or requiem for a dream—because you're not really supposed to "like" anyone in those stories to begin with

if you were to force my hand, i might say Link from zelda just because i think he has probably one of the coolest designs ever for a video game character, to such an extent that nobody dislikes playing as him

i'm not interested in picking characters i relate with on a personal or ideological level, i think that's kinda boring and there's no character that's a perfect reflection of who i am anyway

but yeah, bottom line, characters are cool but are kinda low priority for me when it comes to art

I've never really been into character stuff all that much. Metro 2033 is one of my favourite books of all time and artyom's character is essentially nonexistent. I've always been more interested in the worldbuilding and how stuff works within a setting.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

Physical looks don't matter. Azula has the PERFECT personality oh my god. Every line she says and every action she takes sends shivers down my soul. I love her so much it's unexplainable.

Probably Severus Snape. Particularly Alan Rickman's performance. To be THAT dramatic, THAT gothic; that's the dream.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Difficult to pinpoint because without the setting and other characters the bits that make them great are gone.

I'm deciding between Phillip J Fry and Jean Luc Picard, but both are virtually polar opposites and neither would do well if their settings were flipped.

I mean there's currently this wizard bloke I'm using as my avatar now but it's because he's hilariously useless character in a comedy.

Tommy or Arthur Shelby would be a good shout too.

Ugly Americans was such a great show, shame it never got any traction.
