@roguelibrarian did a neat tag thing awhile ago (aka back when i still didn’t have a computer and couldn’t make a post like this) encouraging people to list their ten favorite characters from ten different fandoms, and sort of umbrella-tagged anyone who wanted to do it as well, so i’m stealing it for my own
this was harder than i thought it might be and there were a handful of worthy candidates that ultimately didn’t make the list, but i think the results give a decently accurate picture of who i am as a person. (they’re not in any sort of ranked order though. i couldn’t do that to myself)
1) star wars - luke skywalker, because how could i say anyone else other than one of my favorite characters of all time. he’s the soft male protagonist i need to see in fiction, and his boundless hope and optimism are really important to me (certain movies that shall not be named are, consequently, completely ignored). although for this particular fandom i do have to list an honorable mention, because bodhi rook is the most accurate depiction i have ever seen of my anxiety in a fictional character, and i love him for it
2) carmilla - lafontaine, trans paranormal scientist of my heart. do i honestly need to say any more than that. they embody so many things that i love. of course they make the list
3) atlantis: the lost empire - milo thatch is another much kinder and more empathetic male protagonist, and the academic linguistics interest is a great bonus. and his nervousness. deeply relatable in some embarrassing ways
4) gravity falls - stanford pines is my complete opposite in some areas, and a direct callout in others. his existence kind of helped me in some areas of my life, and undoubtedly made others worse, but honestly, that’s on me for being way too invested in fiction and proof that he’s a legitimately great character with both strengths and flaws. if nothing else, my goal in life is still to steal his entire aesthetic. plus, certain comments in journal three make him feel a little like the closest thing i’ve ever seen to an aro character, at least for now. so that’s nice
5) pacific rim - newton geiszler is another character i like a lot and as a result, apparently, have to ignore an entire movie from his source material to avoid being sincerely messed up. a little bit like ford in that my clinging to him for my entire senior year of high school was both good and bad, but hey, i think the ultimate impression was a good one. the actual literal reason i’m studying biology now, so that’s something
6) stranger things - will byers had to be included on this list entirely because i not only love him, but i decided i loved him after about five minutes and didn’t yet know the plot of the entire show was going to revolve around him going missing in another dimension, leading to gleeful friendly mocking from my friends about me having a type. legitimately though, he’s great. another softer male protagonist (gee, do you think i might have another type?) who i wish could have an easier time of things
7) back to the future - marty mcfly may not be the choice everyone would expect of me (“really nate? you’re not going for the eccentric scientist?”) but i do have my reasons. largely involving pretty strong headcanons. i’m firm in my belief that it’s very easy to interpret marty as trans and neurodivergent and i love him for it
8) ars paradoxica - sally grissom follows up as another wonderful time traveler whose personality i adored long before the biggest reason she makes the list was even canon: ace protagonist. but even if that weren’t true she’d still be a big candidate -- i love scientists, and i love people trying to process difficult mental health situations. of course she appeals to me
9) critical role - percy de rolo is the most recent addition to this list, mostly becuse everything about him reads like taliesin jaffe created his character by mostly by looking at list of tropes i’m a sucker for. he was my favorite party member long before the reveal that, oh, yeah, did we mention he made an unfortunate deal with a demon? props to the people who knew me and my fictional weaknesses as i started liveblogging this show and withheld your amusement over my preferences until after i knew about that particular plot point. i don’t know how you did it
10) doctor who - “the doctor” is broad but does encompass the character i’m trying to say i love, if i were to narrow it down the eighth and twelfth doctors are probably the nearest and dearest to my heart. the show has a lot of ups and downs but the general persistence that the universe is big and marvelous and exciting and isn’t it great that we’re a part of it will always strike a chord with me. there’s an eighth doctor quote that i absolutely adore, where he’s talking about the nature of the universe to a disillusioned grad student and his general sentiment ends on the note “why not get enthusiastic about it?” and i love that. i love that so much
..........and i’m not officially putting him on the list because i would feel silly doing that with a character i created myself. but i cannot talk about characters that i like and not mention my sweet anxious ranger, my wonderful d&d boy, erwyn cestacelvar. i never understood people getting emotional about or invested in their own ocs until the campaign i made him for. i cannot express how important he is to me. which is wild
i’m going to follow in winter’s shoes and blanket tag everyone interested in doing this instead of tagging specific people. if you decide to do it, have fun!

[TASK 054: THE ANISHINAABE]
Shout out to @olivaraofrph for inspiring and helping compile this task! There’s a masterlist below compiled of over 100+ Anishinaabe faceclaims categorised by gender with their occupation and ethnicity denoted if there was a reliable source. While often used as synonymous to 'Ojibwe', 'Anishinaabe' refers to six culturally and linguistically similar Native American/Canadian tribes: the Ojibwe, Ottawa, Potawatomi, Chippewa Cree, Mississauga, and Algonquin. If you want an extra challenge use random.org to pick a random number! Of course everything listed below are just suggestions and you can pick whichever character or whichever project you desire.
Any questions can be sent here and all tutorials have been linked below the cut for ease of access! REMEMBER to tag your resources with #TASKSWEEKLY and we will reblog them onto the main! This task can be tagged with whatever you want but if you want us to see it please be sure that our tag is the first five tags!
THE TASK - scroll down for FC’s!
STEP 1: Decide on a FC you wish to create resources for! You can always do more than one but who are you starting with? There are links to masterlists you can use in order to find them and if you want help, just send us a message and we can pick one for you at random!
STEP 2: Pick what you want to create! You can obviously do more than one thing, but what do you want to start off with? Screencaps, RP icons, GIF packs, masterlists, PNG’s, fancasts, alternative FC’s - LITERALLY anything you desire!
STEP 3: Look back on tasks that we have created previously for tutorials on the thing you are creating unless you have whatever it is you are doing mastered - then of course feel free to just get on and do it. :)
STEP 4: Upload and tag with #TASKSWEEKLY! If you didn’t use your own screencaps/images make sure to credit where you got them from as we will not reblog packs which do not credit caps or original gifs from the original maker.
THINGS YOU CAN MAKE FOR THIS TASK - examples are linked!
Stumped for ideas? Maybe make a masterlist or graphic of your favourite Anishinaabe faceclaims. A masterlist of names. Plot ideas or screencaps from a music video preformed by a Anishinaabe artist.
