Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...

this is such a hard question because i’ve gone through so many phases of obsessing over pieces of media in my life, and sometimes it’s really hard for me to parse which characters are lasting favorites and which are just part of that phase. but i’ll try! keep in mind, lots of sentimentality ahead…

and this is in no particular order.

1. wei wuxian (the untamed)

ok so this kind of goes along with a previous post i made discussing my feelings of the mdzs book vs. the untamed. when i first watched the untamed at the recommendation of a friend, it was so unlike anything i’d ever seen before. and wei wuxian was so unlike any protagonist i’d ever encountered before. his determination to do what’s right no matter what others do, but also not being above experiencing doubt and uncertainty about his decisions, really touched me. also of course his carefree attitude toward life is something i repeatedly try and fail to achieve myself. it might also have to do with xiao zhan’s acting choices, but he really touched me as a character. it’s hard for me to say if the wwx of the book did the same organically because i read it over a long period of time after watching the show, so im just going to count the untamed version.

2. shizuku tsukishima (whisper of the heart)

this one is probably pretty niche but allow me to give my most heartfelt recommendation of whisper of the heart, my favorite ghibli movie and one of my favorite films of all time. shizuku is the protagonist of the film. she’s a young girl, probably about 14, and so far, her life has been defined by satisfying her imagination by always reading fiction, immersing herself in stories. inspired by the love interest of the film seiji, she decides she wants to try to be a writer. the film is kind of like a slice of life over a few months of this time, and we see shizuku struggle with perfectionism and wanting to follow her dreams and inability to take criticism, etc. i rarely cry over movies but i cried at this one because i had just never felt so seen by a character. everyone please watch whisper of the heart!🙏

3. prince zuko (avatar: the last airbender)

i think 50% of the reason he’s on here is sentimentality since avatar was a show i watched so much throughout my childhood and of course again more recently with its resurgence in popularity, but also what can i say? his character arc is unmatched. i won’t rehash the details. i will say uncle iroh would probably be here instead if we knew any more about his past because he’s off-screen journey is just so fascinating to me.

4. percy jackson (percy jackson & the 12 olympians)

PURE sentimentality but ya know….also im only considering this character how he exists in the original series. he kind of lost me in heroes of olympus. but yeah percy jackson was the first character that really impacted me back when i was 9, and i think i still carry that impact to this day. i also think the original series still holds up reading it as an adult.

5. kim wexler (better call saul)

kim nation!!! reveal yourselves!! i watched better call saul a little over a year ago and damn, it’s so rare to find such interesting, well-developed, flawed within reason female characters in a tv drama like this. her intelligence and her tendency to get carried away with jimmy don’t contradict each other but work together. her emotional journey….UGH!! kim x post-prison jimmy, who else hopes?

6. xie lian (tgcf/heaven official’s blessing)

so this one is new and i’m not completely sure the deep impression will last yet, but i’ll explain. when i first read tgcf about two years ago, i kind of skimmed because it was so long, and the feelings i had toward xie lian were…not super favorable. i was kind of bored by him and….i saw him as a lesser wei wuxian. AND I WAS WRONG!!! because i reread tgcf finally a couple of months ago, no skimming, really thinking about what i was reading and now i love him. his journey from optimistic prince who had never before suffered to carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders to nearly collapsing under that weight but despite all odds, pulling through and once again finding that optimism, or at least hope. it touched me so much this time around!!! also i don’t know why i thought he was boring first time around. this guy is funny as hell! anyway, lots of lessons to apply to my own life and whatnot.

7. ninth doctor (doctor who)

guys….hear me out. notice im not saying “the doctor” because i think most of doctor who is just nonsense. but that one season with the ninth doctor (and okay i like the tenth doctor’s seasons well enough, or i did really love them. less so these days…). so much potential. so when i say he’s one of my favorite characters ever, i accept that it’s mostly the version of the doctor that lives in my head and isn’t subject to the bad writing decisions made later in the show. it’s a lot of sentimentality, but i am really fascinated by this traumatized alien guy who just lost his entire people, finding himself devolving into more violent, unforgiving tendencies, but meeting rose, jack, whoever else along the way is able to remind him of not who he was but who he could be. of course doctor who is forever ongoing though so character development can only go too far lol.

8. nozue (old-fashioned cupcake)

this is also brand new so not sure if lasting because i only just read and watched ofc, but man. this guy’s journey from being defeatist about getting older and turning 40, being afraid of trying anything new, to allowing himself to experience new things, one of those things being falling in love! his whole concept of using regret as fuel for happiness, transmitting that idea to togawa who transmits it back to nozue later!! ahhh!! so like my love for this character might actually just be love for the entire story but i can’t not mention it every five seconds rn so….

9. isabel archer (portrait of a lady)

so this is the protagonist of henry james’s portrait of a lady, which i finally finished reading last month. and gosh! well the book itself was amazing, but i was especially touched by isabel’s character, mainly because she just felt so realistic. her motivations, her goals, her shift, her sorrows, they all feel earned, creating an incredibly vivid character that i think most people can find something in there to relate to, especially other women who have always been told they are clever and imaginative and yet find themselves struggling internally to live up to those expectations.

10. natasha rostova (war and peace)

it’s been years since i read war and peace in my university freshman seminar, so it’s hard for me to speak on the details of why exactly this character is here. but also it’s no surprise because this is a character that continues to be the star of russian literature. what i can say, she’s another bright, carefree character (clearly symbolizing aspects of russian culture but even beyond that) who it’s impossible not to feel deeply connected to. she goes through some pretty life-altering stuff in war and peace (everyone listen to the musical called natasha, pierre, and the great comet of 1812 for those details!!) and as the reader, you just really feel for her. idk man she still stands out in my mind, but also this is also much thanks to the musical i just mentioned above.

i kind of came up with these on the spot so like…who knows how accurate this is, but i like to talk about the things i like so sue me. thank you for the question though!!

Knight’s ribbons meaning idea

So I woke up at 2 AM thinking about this:

To think of it, it is a bit strange dispersion for gendered outfit, considering that both male and female Cainhurst Knights have enough of red, gold and black in their sets? But it thrown me back towards something I speculated on in this ( x ) post previously, about how Vileblood women might be way more in favour of using blood magic AND genetically more predisposed towards it; whereas their men had to rely on skills and strength!

^^^ @heraldofcrow​​ shared that screenshot back then and... Yeah, the idea was triggered by the fact that only male Knights have riding spurs! So maybe  male knights were generally riding horses using Reiterpallasch, but female knights used Evelyn and Chikage - weapons waaaaaay more reliant on quality of the blood! I am paraphrasing that post but basically, Bloodborne has hefty themes of femininity, but with Cainhurst it is especially curious as they appear to descend from Pthumeru Ihyll with their matriarchal traditions and bloody wrath of Queen Yharnam.

I of course come from intuition but I’d expect this line of nobles to develop dispersion with women being associated with the cursed blood magic and using it more. So the ribbons? Well, red is color of blood, you know! So it feels natural that female Knights have red ribbon to announce it! Meanwhile, maybe dark grey ribbon of male Knights is supposed to be ‘silver’, but darkened kind of? Within Bloodborne people do have superstition that certain metals can help, and silver means a lot for the Vilebloods it seems!

I also think this is a good idea because it works with Maria’s preferences:

Like!!! It is up to interpretation whether she became the first to adopt new hunting practices (and lighter drip) from Gehrman and the rest of Cainhurst followed, or Knights adopted tactics (and lighter drip) and she just separated, but would not that be cool if she favoured silver ribbon rather than red AS the mark of fighting with skill and direct power rather than blood qualities!

Maybe likewise, male Knights that showed high capacity for using blood (or simply more interest in it) would wear red ribbons instead? I also think the idea of ribbons serving as sort of ‘charm’ besides simply supporting hair particularly works with Cainhurst:

But yyyyyeah, ribbon color as indication of your RPG class ahahahah. Thumbs up, thumbs down...?

#bloodborne #bloodborne theory #cainhurst knight #lady maria of the astral clocktower #not art #text post #'blood or horses' now this is the gender roles I CAN get used to xD #sorry it is so niche #it just really lines up with my ideas on how pthumeru ihyll (and now vilebloods) discern #their women sure love their blood magic #and probably have long history of having used men as working force or- #-sacrifices in the cursed rituals #of course cainhurst got better but also notice how there are no portraits of male royalties #only presumably the 'useful' men (like the outstanding warriors) #this line of people is just so interesting to think of.. matriarchal vampires clan #maria really said hard mode huh #but again she was probably one of rare people in the setting to ACTUALLY fear the old blood :pensive: #good for her

omg my old coworker is asking if I’ll do more portraits for her…. Last time I hated myself so bad for saying yes (it was 2 FOUR-PERSON PORTRAITS) but I need monie……….. and I have done zero work to ACQUIRE any extra money… I’ve lowkey just been hoping an opportunity would fall out of the sky... which is basically what this is so I guess I should probably fucking say yes question mark

#god I’m the worst #LOL #mentally and time-wise with school I’m dying but I’m also dying financially so like which is worse #HOPEFULLY ITS NOT A PORTRAIT INVOLVING BABIES #one time I did a baby portrait for an old lady and I painted that shit EXACTLY as it appeared but she sent it back twice cuz she said it #wasn’t cute enough #lady….. I’m a painter not a photoshopping service. sorry about ur genes!!! I painted what I saw!!!!!! #babies are hard but I slayed that shit. smh. be grateful because others wouldn’t have slayed as hard as me
