#Anakin haters get the fuck off this post thanks

PSA: Lucas doesn’t mean the word 'pathetic' in a derogatory way, he is saying that Anakin/Vader is figure of immense pathos and that we, the audience, are supposed to feel sorrow and pity for him. Please stop misinterpreting this post!!!

Ultimately, he’s just a pathetic guy who’s had a very sad life.

@thestateofardadreaming asked me to tell you all about 10 favorite characters, in 10 different fandoms.  

The first characters will be the ones I need to say more about. So here you:

Contessina De’Bardi (Medici:Masters of Florence)

I had started to watch the show for Richard Madden and I found myself to irreparably fall in love with Contessina. This woman is a force of nature, smart, resilient, loyal,bold, direct, self-reliant, brave, empathetic, loving. She’s a feminist of her time. I could hear her own version of Lemonade as she was going through years and years of marriage with a man who pretended to be a martyr and as she was giving lessons of Feminism™ to Lucrezia.

“there are more ways for a woman to be indispensable than just bearing children”

She got all the traits I want in a female character. 

Jack Shephard (Lost) 

He’s the main character of the show, he’s the leader, if it hadn’t been for him, some wouldn’t have survived a day on that island. He’s a hero, but not in a conventional way. He’s damaged, hurt, he lost so much in life, he fucked up very hard in his life and he doesn’t know how to fix his mistakes, his problems.

Jack’s character development is one of the greatest i’ve ever seen on any show, I lived his journey along with him, I was there with him in his path from man of science to man of faith. I felt it when he was crushed in the post-island period, I felt his pain, his suffering, his constant torment, it was real. Thank you Matthew Fox for the amazing acting.

Obi Wan Kenobi (Star Wars)

Oh my Obi Wan! my burnt, heartbroken, damaged jedi 💔

tbh, if I talk about Obi Wan, I immediately talk about Anakin. I actually love them both on equal measure, but I choose Obi Wan, because I suffered for him.

I remember when I first watched the original trilogy and I really wanted to know what it was like Obi Wan and Anakin’s relationship. Then I watched the prequels, I ended up hurt, heartbroken, crushed because of these two.

They loved each other immensely. Obi Wan became not such a good jedi because he loved Anakin way more than a Master should care about his Padawan. He could have never killed Anakin because he loved him too much, his brother, his son, his life. Anakin’s betrayal destroyed him completely. He died on Mustafar along with Anakin, he was dead inside and kept living as Ben watching over Anakin’s son for 20 years. That’s commitment, that’s pure, selfless love. 

I swear, If I could have a scene in the next Star Wars movies with Anakin and Obi Wan reunited...it’d be...I mean, Obi Wan happy and in peace...too many feelings to handle.

Logan Huntzberger (Gilmore Girls)

yeah, yeah I know he’s not a main character and on a show that is based on the life of the Gilmore Girls...it’s a really questionable choice, but fuck it, I love Logan Huntzberger. I truly, deeply love him. He’s not perfect, he makes lots of mistakes, he lives a pretty privileged life with a 5 million dollar trust fund, he’s been a jerk at times? yes, sure and once out of jealousy to see his girlfriend with her own ex (WHO DOES THAT? *sarcasm*) 

But you know why I love Logan? Because he’s very well aware of his privilege, because he’s not fake, because he’s been honest with Rory since day 1, committed to her even though it scared him to be in a relationship, they both made mistakes along the way, but endured, loved, supported each other; the non commitment kind of guy became a great boyfriend Rory could count on, he became a better person for her.  Logan seems only just fun and LDB, but he’s always been more than that, I knew it since the first interaction with Rory: he stimulates her to confront each other’s point of view, he encourages her to speak her mind, he supports in any choice and doesn’t push her. He’s well-read, has a great education,  a quick, witted mind and high level of general knowledge. If I could have a spin-off with Logan and his family, because those dynamics were very interesting to watch. 

I looked beyond the facade and saw an incredible character. 

TVD!KLAUS 

This motherfucker was my favorite villain on tvd.

The Originals Klaus? Forget about him, that’s not Klaus. That’s a version that Carina McKenzie, Michael Narducci and Julie Plec dream of him and they got the damn possibility to show it on scree. Kevin Williamson I’m sure is disgusted by that. It’s not like he’s ever gonna say it, but we all know it.

Seriously, go back and watch S2/S3, but even S4 of TVD. That was Klaus Mikaelson, one of the most feared characters of that world, everyone literally lost their shit at the mention of Klaus’s name, he was everyone’s nightmare. He despised humans, got a badass family who hated the shit out of him, he had no moral, no ethic. Only Caroline Forbes was becoming his weakness, slowly, inadvertently she was becoming his only way to redemption

and you know what they did with him? he got a little werewolf pregnant (like what? seriously?), he’s threatened by everyone, no one gives a shit he’s Klaus Mikaelson, he’s got a daughter he named HOPE (that’s lame as fuck “you’re our only hope”...please...Obi Juan is our only hope) and his whole badass Original family has become the weakest, lamest thing I’ve ever seen on tv. 

SO basically, if you’re interested in watching Klaus Mikaleson, watch S2/3 of TVD. TO is shit.

Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)

(gif purposefully used for the haters)

Pay attention, I’m not talking of book!Daenerys, I think we’ve come to a point we need to divide the characters.

She’s so hated in the fandom, I read any kind of comments and everyone be like: “she’s boring, lame”, “she’s there only because of Tyrion”

Listen, I really don’t wanna impose my opinion, but I admire Daenerys for everything she’s done till now. She’s done plenty of mistakes and questionable choices and I have no idea if her destiny is to become like her father, the Mad King, but you gotta have some balls to be a woman in that period of time and get what she achieved. She’s a woman and she somehow handles to be respected and when she’s not, she earns the respect she deserves. 

Daenerys, as many other main female characters, can be decently treated because she has a name, a name she often uses and you know why? because for Daenerys, her name is her armor, her mean to get the respect of men, to get a voice in a room full of men who would probably like to rape her. She’s strong, fierce, determine and extremely flawed. I love her. 

I hate her now. Don’t even count the shit I wrote. What the fuck was I even thinking????

Frodo Baggins (LOTR)

idk, I just...I constantly want to protect him (and Sam), as I was watching the movies I was always like “protect Frodo!!”. I’ve never read the book, so I might change my mind, but in general I love many characters.

Pamela De Beaufort (True Blood)

True to herself till the very end. The writers didn’t spare not even Eric in that last, pathetic season.

I was so afraid, they would kill her off along with Eric, but they didn’t. She actually got her happy ending with Eric and that’s what I truly loved about the finale. 

Titus Andromedon (the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt)

He’s just Titus. You all need to watch the show to understand 

Jessica Day (New Girl)

She’s a cinnamon roll in love with Nick Miller. She’s adorable, funny, quirky and supportive. I don’t understand why I read so many people saying that she’s annoying. I love her and Zooey Deschanel is amazing

I don’t wanna leave people behind as I tag, so if you wanna do it, do it!!
