the people have spoken. they have said TIMMM

I won't make anyone vote in a "which of my four favorite characters from my four favorite stories am I most like" poll, because about two people here know all my favorites and I could not abide people voting without Knowing, but if I did make that poll it'd be:

Shigeo Kageyama (Mob Psycho 100) (my best beloved boring-looking deadpan psychic son who is so so full of love but forcibly represses his emotions and powers for fear of hurting people. infinitely more complex than he seems. determined to grow as a person, even when people don't deserve his efforts or his kindness. my current role model.)

Thad Thawne (Impulse (1995 DC Comics)) (evil clone. deserved better. not very good at socializing due to being raised by computer as a weapon. deserved a chance, almost got saved, then got character-assassinated by the writers. praise-hungry, blood-thirsty little genius who discovered all he ever wanted was to be loved just a LITTLE too late. holding him so tenderly.)

Tim Drake (Young Justice, Batman, Red Robin, et cetera) (third Robin, level-headed and stable because he Has To Be, constantly Keeping His Head Above Water, stays sane using snark and fun times with friends. whump writers' favorite target. he got me through my teenage years.)

Murderbot (The Murderbot Diaries) (a bio/engineered construct crafted from human and machine parts, this rentable piece of security equipment claims it just wants its clients to stop endangering themselves so it can watch its comfort media in peace and pretend it's not a person. is deeply alarmed to find that it actually WANTS to help people, of its own free will and everything. it's just like me for real <333)
