Thanks so much for the tag (sorry I got to this so late lmao)

Alastor - Hazbin Hotel: he's low-key goals (no I will not clarify, and yes it is what you're thinking of I can almost guarantee it) and high-key just really aesthetically pleasing has a Good Aura ya know (ignore the fact that my number one comfort character is a dead radio host serial killer cannibal who lived in the 1920's and is a powerful demon in hell)

Clare Devlin - Derry Girls: gay gay homosexual gay (also she's a fucking icon literally watched Derry Girls for her)

Olivier Armstrong - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood: don't ask me I don't fucking know it's not just cause she's hot as fuck she's just cool man maybe a small part of me aspires to be like her when I'm older

Jane Seymour - Six: The Musical: (specifically the fanon version of her) she's the mom friend of the group with hidden trauma and we all know that I love characters with hidden trauma

Larissa Weems - Wednesday: she is just Huggable and Motherly and I like that in a comfort character

My thoughts on Derry Girls while being trapped in my house.

While the country is in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic I’ve finally had the time to re-watch some of my favourite shows, well at least one of my favourite shows. I’ll have to confess that this show is definitely my favourite show of all time even beating the likes of Killing Eve for the top spot. So, what is this show you’re probably wondering by now? Well it’s the British sitcom Derry Girls. As you can derive from the title this comedy is set in Derry, Northern Ireland in the 1990s during The Troubles. First off, the bat this show has taught me more about The Troubles than the whole English education system has during its whole 13-year reign so, take that as you will. I feel the best thing that this show does is its portrayal of normality during a time which is filled with conflict, discord and confusion. Even the escaped polar bear scenario seems almost believable, which I believe is in reference to the peter the polar bear incident of the 70s. A polar bear which while dead was also on the loose in Belfast. Moreover, the characters are majorly relatable and ordinary. The main group of the girls and the wee English fella represent typical teenagers. They are a group which are neither popular nor unpopular, they’re the group in the middle of the social ladder. I think this resonates with many individuals, who are just in the murkiness of school popularity pyramid. Though the group acts like they are one up than the studious, stereotypical school prefect, Jenny Joyce in reality status wise they are no better. I think this is a unique part of the show, most comedies tend to portray their characters largely as complete ‘losers’.

As mentioned earlier, one aspect this show does so well is the relatability of the characters. Yes, this is set in Derry in the 90s during The Troubles, but the familiarity of the characters stretches way past these differences. We all know a Jenny Joyce that we want to just want to remove from our lives and we all can apply the Derry girls’ personalities to our own. Most will relate Michelle’s care-less, think later attitude, Orla’s imagination and creativity, Erin’s slight vanity and narcissism, James’ desire and struggle to fit in while still trying maintain his sense of self-identity and finally Clare which in my opinion is the most relatable of the group, an over-thinker, anxiety driven ‘wee lesbian’ with the most pragmatic and sensible attitude. No character in the show seems unnecessary or lacking. The grown-ups are just as hilarious as the girls, you can absolutely see where the girls get their personality traits from, just look at aunt Sarah and Orla! Minor characters such as Uncle Colm, Father Peter and Jim across the road with double glazing feel fleshed out and not just characters thrown into the story for the sake of a joke or the overarching plot. They seem like real people that you actually would know.

Another thing I’ll like to mention which I think is absolutely fantastic about the show is the set and costume design. "According to my ma, we're actually quite poor" We can actually see this, the sets of the terrace houses truthfully portray the standard of living at that time. The Derry girls wear the same outfits on multiple occasions. This emphasises a realistic portrayal of everyday life during this time. Got to mention that the outfits are peak 90s fashion which I’m still trying to replicate! Everything about this show is just so memorable and distinct to this show and would almost definitely not work in any other comedy show. The quotability of the show is astounding. Some of my favourites include “But he’s not in the zoo anymore is he, simple Simon” (Joe), “Protestants hate ABBA” (Orla) and "I'm not being an individual on my own" (Clare) just to mention a few. Some final thoughts, I love Derry Girls, it balances perfectly good actually funny comedy with serious issues that highlights the many difficulties young people at the time had to deal with growing up in Derry during the 1990s. It emphasises a sense of community (e.g. the school uniform washing incident), friendship and acceptance during a time remembered for conflict and hatred. I absolutely can’t wait for season 3!!

Speaking of COVID-19 here’s a video that some of the Derry girls cast filmed about isolation. It’s absolutely hilarious.  https://youtu.be/aSJPNvVhH8Y
