Every female main character in a detective series. Leather jacket is a must

How successful would Logan Echolls…

Propaganda for the mic skills:

Nickname is Mouth (smartass, porky mouth, smart mouth, sarcastic, but quiet - hardly loud)

the corporate drone that has to manage the mostly defunct veronica mars account trying to post a “happy 20 years :) what’s your fav moment? :)” post and getting 200+ replies that say some version of “pretending the revival finale didn’t happen”

Eli “Weevil” Navarro. Character of all time, methinks.

Favourite Character Poll

Rules: Make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone’s favourite!

Proving just how awesome they are, @evilpenguinrika is out to kill me again 😂 Thank you for the tag 😈🐧 (And, yeah, picking five faves is cruel and unusual punishment 😂 there were almost two dozen on my shortlist!)

Tagging @persevereforahappyending @avengerskye @shadowhuntermama or whoever else wants to do this—and I won’t feel bad if you don’t 😀

There needs to be studies done on the weaponization of popular male characters against their predominantly female fanbases by the male writers who created them. As a female fan of popular media, this is one of the most frustrating things to bear witness too, and the amount of times I've lost some of my favorite male characters to this very pattern is astounding. Is it misogyny? Jealousy? A combination of the two? Or is there more going on here? I desperately want to know, because why the fuck would you take your most popular, interesting, and beloved characters and destroy/kill them off in the least satisfying way possible? The level of contempt one must have for their own characters to actively harm the narrative they've been building simply to punish the audience for having the audacity to like a character when they don't is insane to me.

I'm doing a series of "Best Character Named X" polls where all the characters have the same first name but are from completely different media, feel free to send in name/charcacter suggestions, I'm posting one poll a day, check my pinned post for active polls

Kyle Gallner's filmography in his 20s/late teens seems like it was mostly him playing the world's shittiest teenagers

2023 CHARACTER WRAPPED

i saw @ajcrowleys do this and i wanted to do my own - hopefully you don't mind!

rules: share your top 9 characters from the year (or 10. lol. i cheated)

(spoiler: mine are in no particular order except for alex who is always no. 1)

1. Alex Claremont-Diaz, RWRB

(will always be my number 1 - you can pry him from my cold, soulless hands. there will never come a day when alex is not my spirit character)

2. TK Strand, 911 Lone Star

(someone in the alta comments described him as a horny, bitchy tamagotchi and i died. he is the greatest feral cat to sassy husband transformation ever. don't get me started on The Hand Gesture)

3. Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars

(annoy, tiny blonde one. annoy like the wind! The definition of a badass bitch)

4. Jake Seresin, Top Gun Maverick

(if we wanna talk bitchy tamagotchis, here's one. he also comes in arrogant idiot and cowboy!)

5. Eli "Weevil" Navarro, Veronica Mars

(this episode is my favourite episode EVER. little bit bad boy, little bit sweetheart, I can't get over the biker gang leader with the heart of gold)

6. Carlos Reyes, 911 Lone Star

(i gotta say, carlos lost me a little bit in season 4, but i'll never get over the soulmates scene and he's just all around a favourite AND SO DAMN PRETTY)

7. Marjan Marwani, 911 Lone Star

(marjan's episode in season 4 was - aside from 4 x 16 - my favourite episode. some of the best plot lines that season and natacha really killed it!)

8. Sam Obisanya, Ted Lasso

(i watched ted lasso for the first time this year and i am just OBSESSED with this man. he's so damn sweet and true to himself. GOLD)

9. Paul Strickland, 911 Lone Star

(this man is literally out here officiating weddings, solving mysteries, putting out fires and making a mean chilli. like he does THE MOST. hats off)

10. Keeley Jones (and Jamie Tartt and Roy Kent), Ted Lasso

(not afraid to say i love the throuple but ALSO i just feel like all three of these characters had such beautiful arcs in ted lasso, i can't possibly choose one so i have to choose them all)

i'll open tag this one and also tag @strandnreyes @guardian-angle22 @inexplicablymine @three-drink-amy @fitzherbertssmolder @heartstringsduet @birdclowns @beautifulhigh @reyesstrand @lutavero @stereopticons @statueinthestone @apothecarose @celeritas2997 @goodways @carlos-in-glasses @theghostofashton @thebumblecee @reasonandfaithinharmony @happiness-of-the-pursuit @suseagull04 @whattarush @kiwiana-writes @alltheprettyplaces @lyhrcyrianne @st-elle-ar @fckingyrs @fuckingyrs @thisbuildinghasfeelings @tiffanymaxwels @lemonlyman-dotcom

Me whenever I remember the hardcore environmental subject,taught by one of the toughest professors at uni,then remember how RT made Logan an "environmentalist"

How the fuck one (1) guy riding a bicycle is going to do anything against air pollution? And considering how intelligent and well-educated Logan has always been(yes,always. He had plenty of problems at school,but none of them were with grades,AFAIK),he'd have realized it was merely an empty virtue signaling gesture. One would think Logan could help clean beaches and other places in Neptune(small scale,but still something with real results - making the city prettier and healthier),petition for proper disposal and treatment of residues(in all scales,not only in the industrial one),be invested in basic sanitation and water supply(those affect the poor disproportionally - see,Noir-relevant),engage in environmental education(bonus points if he gets to mentor troubled youth and take them under his wing - just like the professor did with him). Young!Logan might have plenty of flaws,but he got shit done.

Logan Echolls became what he hated the most - a virtue-signalling shithead who half-asses good deeds to stroke his own ego. Also,a State-Sanctioned Mercenary. Not very different from the vapid Hollywood he hated so much. I know the Doylist explanation was simply incompetence from RT,but can anyone think of an Watsonian one?

whumptober 2024, day 4: hallucinations

fandom: veronica mars | characters: veronica mars, lily kane, logan echoes (briefly) | ship: veronica mars/logan echolls | trigger warnings: referenced character death | content: veronica experiences hallucinations while she's sick | word count: 641

“I’m not sick,” Veronica insists, sneezing as she does. Logan rolls his eyes, places his hands on her shoulders and pushes her gently down onto her bed. 

“Your running nose begs to differ,” he says. “You need sleep. I’m locking you up until you rest.” 

“I am fine!” she argues, but even as she does she notices just how comfortable her bed is. “Okay, maybe a little rest would be good,” she says, settling back into her pillows, “but not because I’m sick.” 

“Yeah, yeah, whatever, thank me after you’ve slept off the fever you’re ignoring.” Logan grins at her and turns off the light. “See you later.” 

“Bye,” she says, a little miserably. Being sick is the worst, but at least it doesn’t take her long to fall asleep. 

When she opens her eyes, it’s past five in the evening and starting to get dark out. Her curtains are drawn, so at first she doesn’t notice that someone is standing in the corner of her room. When she does, she blinks a couple of times in confusion. Her head feels foggier than it did when she fell asleep, her skin hot and her sheets damp from sweat. 

“Logan?” she asks, and her own voice feels far away, throat scratchy. A girlish giggle comes from the corner, and Veronica sits up, dizzy as she does. Definitely not Logan. 

“Who’s there?” she asks quickly. 

“Don’t recognise your own best friend, V?” the stranger asks, and then it hits Veronica: the person in the corner of her room is not a stranger. 

It’s Lily. 

“Lily?” she says aloud, in disbelief. “What - how-,” 

Lily steps into the last crack of evening light from between Veronica’s curtains and sits on the edge of the bed. Veronica doesn’t move, frozen in shock, dizzy from her fever. 

“How are you here?” she whispers to her dead best friend. Lily laughs again, but it’s not a pleasant one. It’s the laugh she would use when she was being cruel. 

“I had to come and tell you something,” Lily whispers. She edges closer to Veronica and places a cold hand on Veronica’s cheek. 

“What is it?” Veronica whispers back. She feels younger again, like they’re at a sleepover. She knows in her bones that whatever Lily is about to tell her is important. Thank you, perhaps, for finding her killer and avenging her death? That she misses her? 

“Sweet, silly Veronica,” Lily says coldly, her hand still on Veronica’s cheek. “How much of a slut do you have to be to sleep with your dead best friend’s boyfriend?” 

Veronica’s heart jumps into her throat and she pulls away from Lily’s hand on her face. She can’t see all of the details of Lily’s face through the darkness, but can picture her face: full of disdain and disgust. 

“What?” she says, her voice cracking. “We - we’re not-,” 

“Don’t try to defend yourself,” Lily hisses, crawling up to Veronica so that she’s straddling her waist, knees either side pinning her down. When Veronica speaks, she chokes on her own words. 

“I’m - I’m so sorry,” she says, tears stinging at the backs of her eyes. 

“You betrayed me,” Lily continues, voice hard. “After everything, you betrayed me.” 

“I’m sorry,” Veronica says again, the tears that have been threatening her eyes finally spilling over. Her head feels like it’s underwater, her mouth like it’s full of cotton. “I d-don’t-,” 

Lily cuts her off by pressing a hand over Veronica’s mouth. She leans forward so that the dark outline of her face is inches from Veronica’s. 

“Your apology,” she says harshly. “Means nothing.” 

A second later she’s gone, and Veronica doesn’t understand why or how, and her head aches - her heart even more. 

“I’m so sorry,” she sobs, voice breaking. “Lily, come back, please! Please, can we talk about this!” 

Lily doesn’t come back.

Having Logan join the Military when they spent 3 seasons showing nothing but corruption in government organizations was bad enough but then they had to turn him into a full gym bro who eats plain chicken and egg whites and uses the most cliche therapy speak in conversations that no one besides narcissists trying to pretend they’re healed actually use😭

Rob Thomas had been slowly killing logan echolls for YEARS before the end of season 4 and he really thought, with a fanbase who loves the extremely vengeful and grudge holding protagonist, that was a good idea
