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

ima (no pressure) tag @le-velo-pour-dru @ace-aussie-asshole @redrehab @remedialchaoticscreaming @ineffablake and of course anyone else who wants to do it :)

Re: walrus vs. fairy:

"The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks. How often have you been presented with an apparently rational explanation of something which works in all respects other than one, which is just that it is hopelessly improbable? Your instinct is to say, 'Yes, but he or she simply wouldn't do that.'"

"Well, it happened to me today, in fact," replied Kate.

"Ah yes," said Dirk, slapping the table and making the glasses jump, "your girl in the wheelchair - a perfect example. The idea that she is somehow receiving yesterday's stock market prices apparently out of thin air is merely impossible, and therefore must be the case, because the idea that she is maintaining an immensely complex and laborious hoax of no benefit to herself is hopelessly improbable. The first idea merely supposes that there is something we don't know about, and God knows there are enough of those. The second, however, runs contrary to something fundamental and human which we do know about. We should therefore be very suspicious of it and all its specious rationality."

ROUND 1A MATCH 15

Propaganda

DGHDA: really cool fantasy and sci-fi and theres an explicit on-screen gay relationship and disabled rep

Black Sails: Black Sails will alter your brain chemistry. So beautifully incredibly written there are details I can’t even wrap my head around. Instance, heartbreaking monologues. Absurd pirate jokes and horrible awful violence. The most beautiful ship in the world, mad strategy, so much love, so many queer women. Toby Stephens putting absolutely everything into it

⚠️Vote for whomever YOU DO NOT KNOW⚠️‼️

[clockworkcheetah]

didn't list characters working for blackwing cause they're already kinda in the villain zone as is but still welcome to choose them

i just think its interesting that most dghda characters (imo) are morally grey as is and through choice could be a good guy or bad guy depending (aka they could get worse or get better)

feel free to explain in the tags (just y'know be civil and don't needlessly start character bashing that's not what this poll is)
