I was tagged by @barad-doom to pick my ten favorite characters from ten different fandoms, so here we go!

1) Haleth, from the Silmarillion. Human woman, leader of a bunch of displaced humans fighting against Morgoth, refused to become neat little vassals of whichever elf lord it was who offered (Celegorm? Caranthir? Thingol?), and overall a total badass. Her people were named the Haladrim (I believe it was) after her, until they were subsumed into early Gondor.

2) Tarma from Mercedes Lackey's Vows and Honor series, part of the same universe as her Valdemar books. Tarma is not only another *total badass*, but also canonically asexual (and aromantic) and "as sexless as the sword she bears", with a partner Kethry who is totally what I would now term her qpp. These are the books which served as my introduction to fantasy as a genre (and novels as a whole, really) as a kid, and while I didn't notice their surprisingly awesome representation until just recently, I loved them just as much then as I do now.

3) Rose Lalonde, from Homestuck. I don't know that she's necessarily my *favorite* character, exactly, but I do love her. I also have trouble looking to other characters as my favorites when I love so many of them and Rose is pretty much exactly me, with slightly more interest in Lovecraft and slightly less interest in computers.

4) Jack Harkness from Doctor Who and Torchwood. Snarky, badass, usually quite nice and not a total misogynist, and also pansexual af, Jack is just plain cool. The mysterious past, mysterious future, and unusual willingness to be emotionally vulnerable from time to time don't hurt either.

5) Miles Vorkosigan from, you guessed it, the Vorkosigan saga. He is both seriously crippled and indisputably a tactical and fast-talking genius, a pair of qualities which forces him to actually solve problems with his brains instead of by chance or muscle. Over time he ends up constructing separate identities for himself as the heir to major nobility on a backwater planet and himself as the Admiral of the troupe of space mercenaries he accidentally acquires in the first book, and it only gets more wonderfully complicated from there.

6) Saash, the main technical wizard for Grand Central's worldgating terminals in Diane Duane's Feline Wizards series, in the same universe as the Young Wizards series (I hate that series name so much, it way undersells these books, they're awesome). She's timid, sweet, quick to defend her friends and ready to risk her ninth and last life for the good of the universe, and also gifted with a scintillating intelligence which made her the main repair technician for these inter-galactic gates. Also, this universe has some wonderfully inspiring yet realistic themes, particularly around the whole "put off the heat death of the universe as long as possible" issue.

7) Death, from the Discworld novels. This one was a rather harder question, since I have many favorite characters from the Discworld (Granny Weatherwax! Diamond King of Trolls! Vimes!). Death is, however, at least the sort of casual favorite with whom I happily high five in passing during nearly every book.

8) Loki from the Avengers Cinematic Universe. In the past, he's been portrayed as much more unrelentingly evil than I would like, but the most recent Thor movie among other things clarified that his relations with Thor an Earth are more the result of countless siblings squabbles that actually hit a nerve gone unresolved for far too long. That kinda rings a bell with me, and makes me empathize with him a lot more. Also I find it endlessly amusing how many other characters in Asgard were around before Loki even though Loki, in actual Norse mythology, was one of their parents-- Fenris aka Fenrir, Hel, and Sleipnir to name a few.

9) Vaarsuvius from Order of the Stick. Vaarsuvius (often shortened to V) is just great. They've got it all: snark, jokes, character development, horribly massive and accidental failures, and total badassery, not to mention a gender which canonically does not fit within the bounds of male or female. That may in fact just be a trait of elves in this universe. Read the comic, seriously,though it may start out a tad heavy handed on the more basic elements of humor, it does get a lot better.

10) Collette Voltaire, from the Girl Genius comics. I'm not going to say too much about her given the fact that it's one giant spoiler, but as the main heir to the Master of Paris and one of the relatively few major characters who is *not* a spark (supernatural borderline homicidal genius, basically), she has learned a lot more about controlling the mechanisms of her father's city than he, or anyone, knows.

I'm curious about your former url, polypaganpancakepearl? Like where did that come from if that's okay. Erudipitous as well actually, from erudite or something else?

oh, that! well, when I first joined tumblr back in high school, I identified as polyamorous, pagan, panromantic, and asexual (an occasional epithet for pan ace being pancake), and I ID'd a lot with Pearl from steven universe. now I'm... still polyamorous (...but also aroace), vaguely lesbianish (but also aroace and nb), culturally pagan but vaguely atheist (it's complicated), and I'm much less involved in the steven universe fandom.

moral of the story, don't make your tumblr username a list of your identities unless you're *really* certain of them!

... I guess this is what I do when I get homesick.

Unfinished, but I learned a lot and it’s been a week since I last got up the motivation to touch it, so *shrugs*
