One of the most interesting characters in the series. The books makes you hate him, but the movies make you see that he is a product of his father's creation that he has been molding him into. Very eye-opening. I mourn for him specifically during the 6 movie, truly makes you see that he was just a kid.

2. 𝐷𝑖𝑐𝑘 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑦𝑠𝑜𝑛 . . . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝑪 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆

Okay, I was obsessed with him when I was younger and now it's all coming back. I just think he's so pretty and so adorable and he has a great personality. The fics I've been reading of him over this past week (because I forgot that was a thing for other characters lol) are so so so good, like oh my god. I just want this man all to myself. I will sell my soul for him, no questions asked. And man does he look good in his Nightwing suit 👀. Will be posting more of him and the batfam soon because I love them. God, writing this out made me realize why and how much I adore him. Help, I need CPR. The way I almost want a Selina and Bruce relationship with him. I will be the villian to your hero 😏. Okay but also, he's my top man right now, just putting that out there. He has stolen #1 for now. He's such a sweetheart, I need him to live, I will never be able to express how much I love him.

3. 𝐷𝑟𝑢𝑖𝑔 . . . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆

What can I say, I like guys who are sarcastic and basically dislike everyone except their girlfriend. I like a lot of Marvel characters, but he wedged his way into my heart. The sarcastic comments makes me want to hit him and kiss him at the same time. I love a man who is broody, but also has a soft side.

4. 𝐴𝑙𝑒𝑘𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑀𝑜𝑟𝑜𝑧𝑜𝑣𝑎 . . . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆

Man do I love a villian and he takes the cake. He's tall, dark, and handsome as hell. Checks all the boxes. His character is very interesting and enjoyable to me. Like, expanding the Fold is bad and it's going to hurt a lot of people, but I can also see some of his reasoning behind it. Many Grisha had suffered and died and he wants their suffering to end. I love a deep character.

5. 𝐾𝑦𝑙𝑜 𝑅𝑒𝑛 | 𝐵𝑒𝑛 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑜 . . . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆

One of my favorite characters of all time. Basically Aleksander, but in the Star Wars universe. His character is so complex and easily one of the most compelling. Ben Solo deserves better and I really hope they bring him back. I love the man to death, so what if he is a "villian"?

6. 𝑀𝑟. 𝐷𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑦 . . . 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒋𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒆

He's basically me. I've always wanted to be like Elizabeth, but who am I kidding, I'm Mr. Darcy. He's just so socially awkward and would rather sit in a dark corner looking at a wall than interact with people. I'm with you Darcy, I truly am. He's definetely a guy who respects women and would treat his significant other like a queen.

7. 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑎𝑛 . . . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔

He's kind. He's intelligent. He's brave. He's Ben Barnes . . . again. Yes, I know. Ben on the list twice? I cannot, and will not for that matter, stop. I love him. Caspian is a great ruler and an even better friend.

8. 𝐽𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 . . . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔

I love his character and his stuggle to comprehend what's right and what's not and whether we need to realize that sometimes the things we are taught are not always going to be right. Very disappointing that they killed him off, he was a great character.

9. 𝑀𝑎𝑙𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑚 𝐵𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 . . . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔

His inner struggle of who he is makes me so sad for him. He's gone through so much and deserves the world. I wish the show continued, I loved watching him and how he dealt with his father along with his health. Who doesn't like a murder detective show? Can I also give him a long and overdue hug please?
