#Soc polls

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

Alright folks, it actively saddens me that it’s been so long since I wrote a long form analysis on here so a) I’m going to try and get some mores asks answered soon (I promise) and b) I’m going to list the titles of posts that I have either half-written of have plans for and ask y’all to pretty please cast your vote for which one gets posted first - and I’m sure to get around to all of them eventually, but they may end up cropping up in another poll in the future before that happens

Titles are kinda long so I’ll list them here and then put references to each in the poll or I’ll run out characters :)

Titles:

We should have seen it coming: the perception shift of Grisha power from small science to magic

Six of Crows' Chapter One Breaks All The Rules (and it should)

Perceptions of the White Rose in the books vs the show

Returning to the chapter-by-chapter analysis series: Chapter 5

The power of denying specific characters a name in books that place so much emphasis on the value of names

The presentation of cults and their leaders in the Grishaverse: an analysis of parallels between Jarl Brum and the Darkling

Squabble belongs to @sonic-adventure-3

Find out more about them below!

Chimera Baby "Mira":

Chimera Baby is a chimera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics)) and the oldest child of Sonic and Shadow. Mira was raised in the Chao Garden where she ate fruit and engaged in frequent karate matches and races and was very happy. As a young child she was very sweet and loving to her fathers but as she got older she has begun to experience latent Black Arms patricidal urges (exclusively towards Shadow).

Mira is the slowest in her family (but faster than you!), but has a very strong connection to chaos energy making her quite the powerhouse. However, she still has a long ways to go before she can actually hope to defeat Shadow. In her teen years Mira has become somewhat of a delinquent, speaking very little and preferring to get her messages across through action alone. She is the older sister of Mochi, who often acts as a mediator whenever she randomly tries to attack Shadow in the Costco.

Squabble the Pigeon:

incredibly cheerful untrained pilot and mechanic for a trio of freelance postal workers/hitman. LOVES airplanes and explosives and tinkering and package delivery, is a chronic pipe bomb maker, and has a boundless joie de vivre. she operates on cartoon physics, and has a messenger bag that functions as a hammerspace where she keeps her exposives, revolver, second identical revolver that pops a flag, bazooka, and everything else including the kitchen sink. incredibly cheerful and completely lacking in common sense or a coherent moral compass. about twelve, and on the short side.

I'm curious because I've noticed that I always tend for side/smaller characters as my #1 favs compared to the main characters. I've seen many people who also fall in love with that character who you see in the background of that one scene (you know who you are).

This is subjective to how you view the positions of the characters but if you want here's my loose definition of each:

Main: Story centered around them, majority of screen time and development. Majority of merch features them, typically has majority of fanworks. Also can includes main antagonist(s), even if screen time is more limited.

Side: Typically seen with the main character, but not the central part of the story. Can support/hinder the main character through story progression. Usually seen in merch if it extends past the main character(s). Usually good fanwork following.

Background: Medium-low screen time and story importance. Might show up for a small part of an arc, or small periods throughout the whole show. Usually low chance to see in merch, but still may have a select few and lower fanwork following.

One scene: Self explanatory. Can include characters that don't appear enough to be a background character.

Other: Characters that are only mentioned, speculated, etc. Maybe your favorite is the author notes at the end.

The crows as birds other than crows:)

Kaz: a raven. Yes it’s basic and easy but he literally is a crow and in my brain ravens are crows in lil cloaks and bowties :) (plus: second result when you look up most ominous bird on google)

Inej: a sparrow. Sneaky and small as well as smart and resourceful (but known for being friendly and kind alongside their intelligence) :)

Jesper: a parrot. Colorful, bright, fun, sassy sometimes :)

Wylan: an owl. Cute with big eyes and also smart. Also can be evil at times :)

Nina: a peacock. Fun and bright and colorful like Jesper but also more classy (but not afraid to be bold) :)

Matthias: an eagle. Big, patriotic, noble, serious, but can be more playful than people think :)

let me know if you have any other ideas!!!
