2023 CHARACTER WRAP
Share your top nine characters of this year.
I was tagged by @matbaynton (Thank you so much, Ireland 💖)
I don't have quite as much control as Ireland so I'm upping the Mat character limit to 5, though I could definitely fill the whole list with Mat characters if I wanted to.
Thomas Thorne, BBC Ghosts
It's the last year for new Thomas content and that makes me ridiculously sad so he has to be here and in the number one spot.
2. Ariel Conroy, You, Me and the Apocalypse
Just downright one of the best Mat characters and I've had the pleasure of rewatching it again this year and exploiting Ariel many times during kinktober. He's just consistently my favourite Mat to play with.
3. Jamie Winton, You, Me and the Apocalypse
If I'm having Ariel, I'm having Jamie too, Ariel is nothing without Jamie and vice versa.
4. Felix Fickelgruber, Wonka
The newest and quite frankly a delightful Mat character. Mat is so good as this role and it's always refreshing to see him play a villain and also have a musical number?!??!
5. Chris Pitt-Goddard, Spy
Just another Mat character that I have particularly enjoyed exploiting this year, especially during Kinktober.
6. Izaya Orihara, Durarara!!
I don't know how my interest in Izaya suddenly came back and with full force but it has and it feels like I'm living in 2012 again and utterly, stupidly insane about him.
7. Robin Hood, BBC Robin Hood
Again, not sure how this came back into my life... well I am actually and it's because of @sherwood-outlaws and I can't say I expected to watch it twice in one year and not watching it for years and years but god, I loved this show and Robin in particular.
8. Sebastian "Bash" de Poitiers, Reign
Okay, I haven't finished this show yet but I fucking love Bash and I love my friend for introducing me to this show! He's so pretty!
9. Pam Beesley, The Office
Will there ever be a year where I don't re-watch The Office and fall in love with a different character each time?
If you read through all of this, thank you! I hope you enjoyed! @sherwood-outlaws if you want to give it a go, I'd love to see you find GIFs for 9 different Robin Hood characters 🤣

April 1968. The photos are by Carl Fischer, but it was ESQUIRE art director George Lois who suggested posing Muhammad Ali as Saint Sebastian. Ali was uneasy about the Catholic symbolism (he ended up running the concept by Herbert Muhammad before agreeing), but Lois says Ali — who was convicted in June 1967 of violating the Universal Military Training and Service Act by refusing to be inducted into the U.S. Army — had a very clear idea what it all meant. As Lois told ROLLING STONE in 2016:
He took his right hand out from behind his back and pointed at each of the arrows. And then he’d say the names of the people in this world that were out to get him. He’d point to one arrow: “Lyndon Johnson.” The next one: “General [William] Westmoreland [who led the Vietnam operation].” Then: “Robert McNamara.” Each of the arrows [was] a person in the government that had hurt him. I can’t even tell you how stunning it was.”
On June 28, 1971, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Ali's conviction, ruling that the draft appeal board had not given cause for rejecting Ali's claim of conscientious objector status.
