[meme] 10 characters I like a normal amount

1. u all know my top blorbo is gonna be Tina Belcher \

I cannot overstate how important it was for me to watch a show as a deep-voiced uggo and see Tina, a deep-voiced girl who's supposed to be pretty plain-looking, be treated as a human being who is worthy of love and respect

And not be the constant butt of LOL SHE'S UGLY/shitty gender-based jokes

She has multiple boys who genuinely like her for who she is, her siblings are ride or die for her and her parents love her and accept all of her quirkiness and awkwardness and help guide her through the awful parts of being a teenager

2. my second blorbo is watashi wa ALL MIGHTO

mister Toshinori Yagi

I liked how they used him to show that even the most powerful and loved person in the world is still a human being underneath it all, and there are times when he's not a great person and makes mistakes and bad judgments

And how he loses his powers relatively early on in the series and has to reckon with the fact that he fully expected to be dead at his age and has to figure out "so wtf do I do now"

3. Alphonse Elric

I love how Al is stuck in an incredibly shitty situation but still finds it in himself to have compassion and love for other people

He could have turned bitter and angry over what happened to him and he and Ed both shoulder more responsibility for it than I feel like they should, but he's still a kind and hopeful person throughout

4. Bowser. I just think he's neat.

5. Tails. I also think he's neat.

6. Avatar Aang. I know he can be disliked by a lot of fans, but I liked his journey and how the show acknowledged that a 12 year old boy raised in a peaceful order of monks wouldn't be able to throw away his principles on a whim

Like Al, he had a heavy burden placed on him but still was able to show compassion and forgiveness and tried to find the least violent path to solving problems

7. Groot hits my love for gentle giant types. For a creature of few words he still has such personality, and in some comic incarnations they show that he's very intelligent but has no real way to communicate and his greatest wish is to just be able to talk to someone and be understood.

8. Baymax. He's soft and cute and his main purpose in life is to heal and comfort.

9. The King of all Cosmos will never not be hilarious to me. I used to have his theme song as my phone ringtone ages ago.

10. Mega Man. I just think he's neat I like that he has such a strong sense of justice and puts himself on the line again and again to save the world.
