Name ten favourite characters from ten different things (books, tv, film, etc.)
I was tagged by @amarielah! In no particular order:
1. MCU: It is really hard not to let Thorki share top billing but I think I have to put Loki a smidge over Thor, like to the same degree that Tom Hiddleston is taller than Chris Hemsworth. I still love Thor very, very much.
2. Star Wars: Obi-Wan with a side of Anakin.
3. Sailor Moon: Zoisite; middle school Jessica had it right.
4. X-Men: Professor Xavier, you are shocked.
5. What We Do in the Shadows: Colin Robinson, with a side of literally everyone else.
6. The Mindy Project: ... Jody Kimball-Kinney, don't @ me.
7. Queer as Folk: Justin Taylor
8. 30 Rock: Jack Donaghy, we share an MBTI type and mommy issues.
9. BoJack Horseman: Princess Carolyn
10. Mighty Max: Virgil. I know, I know.
Tagging: @thethorabides, @calamity-cain, @mareebird, @loxxxlay, @piscine-unrelated, @shadowwolf75, @militarypenguin, @thispreciousthing, @veyrius, and @thors-soft-cheeks!
