[meme] ten of my blorbos. im pretty sure you all know these already because 90% of the time if im Normal about a character I have already picked them up
1. travis touchdown, no more heroes the blueprint. the original. ive been here since 2008 i shit you not. people irl know that i love travis touchdown it's frankly very embarrassing but i like him the normallest amount
anyway i am grabbing him by the neck and shaking him around. he's the reason i'm obsessed with "destroyed by vengeance" arcs & i have a lot of opinions about travis and toxic masculinity and repressed bisexuality and his horrible horrible backstory that he pretends not to have SEE LOOK I HAVENT WRITTEN HIM IN AGES AND IT JUST CAME OUT AGAIN!!!
about 30% of this is spite for dan smith being more popular when garcian is the one with the traumatic backstory but GOD killer7 is like, a mandatory experience, and the whole premise of this character as like. almost a personification of east/west political tension but ALSO AN INNOCENT PERSON MANIPULATED BY FORCES OUT OF HIS CONTROL
literally it's canon that he's actually a kind person in spite of being so detached about death and i want him to get the opportunity to live a normal life without being manipulated ever again post-canon garcie i love you
okay. boss is fucking insane and that's why she is my blorbo. aitsf spoilers but the amount of stuff she does for date is like. girl, what. you need better boundaries with your friends / you need to get over this MAN it's been 20 YEARS
i am also obsessed with how she's a woman in her 40s who has interests and parties and is a complete weirdo but is ALSO a professional (and very corrupt, again girl WHAT) and i think she deserves way more fandom love than i have seen for her. boss my girl my angel.
can you tell that i have a soft little niche in my heart for "character who isn't good at being a person finds love and acceptance despite being a weirdo". part 6 is the jojo part i cried the most over and foo is the character i cried for the hardest LMFAOOOO i know the anime is out rn so i wont elaborate
LILS IS SUCH A FUCKING WRECK LMFAOOO I ADORE HER. i love that shes a clingy ex and insecure and reckless and stupid and selfish but she loves ssssooooo fiercely, my favorite disaster woman forever.
anyway in addition to being obsessed with "character bad at people" im also obsessed with "character who unhealthily compartmentalizes" bc his whole deal is so thematically MEATY but so unbelievably tragic. girlfriend you have completely destroyed yourself for love and vengeance you are JUST THE FRONT NOW
he's another character i love dearly and who i cant verbalize my feelings for apart from "i'm shaking him aggressively" because wow, i love drama and toxic gay vengeance
this kid is just so pure and heroic and good while being a normal ass teenage boy but he's also got more meat to him than just being a good boy, he's smart he's strategic he's creative he's a little self deprecating and he is full of love and hope
a lot of this is also driven by spite because i saw the fandom not capturing the nuances of being queer and asian so i went okay! this one's mine now! and yes i know he's from mortal kombat and he's fucking ridiculous but it's so funny that otherwise he just gets to exist as this jerkass who just happens to be gay and have that be
also i feel personally connected to him bc around when i played him/was playing mkx a lot is when i started coming out irl more as queer... so as silly as it sounds i have mortal kombat to thank for smoothing out me coming out of the closet
he inhabits a similar narrative role to garcian but like, you actually see kamui get to start living his live and getting to escape all this shit that has kept him controlled and used as a pawn so oh god i want my little guy to eat good food and hug people he loves FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!
it's so funny that this happened because before travis strikes again he was just like, an abstract character? totally more of a narrative device than really a person? AND THEN HE GOT HUMANIZED AND CRIED ON TRAVIS AND IT WAS OVER LMAOOO THIS ONE'S MINE NOW!!!
i also love that he's still sort of like inhuman bc of how powerful he is/how uhhh high scope of a narrative role he has, but he's STILL A LITTLE GUY who just wants friends. precious murderer. i love him.
I liked him from the start. he's a cute dilf with a cute design and he's got dad baggage and unresolved grief and questionable motives. GREAT. PERFECT PREMISE FOR DANNI.
.................. AND THEN TGAA2 HAPPENED AND IT WAS OVER LMAO. I've always been a Watson fan but holy shit now I have asian watson who is a sketchy dilf with guilt and involvement in conspiracy, amazing, NO notes, perfect character
garcian and kamui are like more extreme examples because they just ... are total blank slates a la khaji (also a blorbo!!! good bug!!!!) meant for violent purposes but GET TO BE LOVED
babygirl
plot twist it's not aiba (but i also love aiba very much)
we're going for a classic here. i open my mouth and all that comes out is blubbering and crying
I SUPPORT WOMEN'S WRONGS
OK CAN WE FIRST start off with how vindicating it is for him to be canon gay after like 10 years thank god
puts on my horse blinders so the only jaime canon that exists is blue beetle 2006 and batman the brave and the bold
MY STUPID BABY BOY. HE SUCKS SO MUCH AND I LOVE HIM LMAO
he..
