#my lists are soooo long of favoirte characters

[halfthealphabet]

Five male characters I love:

I was tagged by @captstjohn thank youuuu!!! 

(I’ll stick to TV to make it easier) 

1. Alec Hardison- Hardison is such an open and caring soul, who is a ray of sunshine compared to the rest of the cast, who are more on the angsty side. I love the subversion of the geek being very socially adept and understanding people. I also love love LOVE his scenes with Parker and Eliot and letting them be vulnerable and he is so supportive and ugh, I just love him. I also love that he’s cocky and immature, like he’s not flawless, he’s this very vivid character, as is the whole cast, and I love that he isn’t perfect. 

2. Landon Kirby- I wasn’t going to put him down cause he was mentioned by the lovely person who tagged me, but he deserves all the love. I love Landon because so often, even on Legacies, teenagers don’t feel like teenagers. Landon feels awkward and I love how awkward he is. I also love that he loves people and openly cares and accepts that he is a bit of a people pleaser but hasn’t lost who he is to other people’s wants and wishes. Oh, and also he’s 100% ace and I didn’t know how much I needed to see a guy on TV be uncertain and nervous about sex but his arc with that was just soooo lovely to me. And his relationship with Raf and Hope are so important to me. 

3. Bellamy Blake- I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really watch The 100 anymore. Just random clips here and there. But I read soooo many fics about Bellamy and Clarke, I need to talk about Bellamy Blake, mother hen extraordinaire. I love that people have found these characters and written happier endings for them, softer stories, allowing them to just . . .exist and not make terrible choices every day. I love Bellamy’s arc, or what I’ve seen of it. S1-S2 he grows so much. He tries every day to be a better person and that takes so much work. 

4. Max Evans- This season of Roswell NM has been rough for me so far and I think the lack of Max is a huge part of that. Tbh I debate between max and Kyle as my favorite guy for this show, but it depends on the day. Max is great because he is so open with his emotions. So often we see male characters struggle with romantic relationships because they struggle to understand and communicate their feelings. Max does not have these problems and it’s so refreshing to me. He also acknowledges his mistakes and tries to atone for them (and does!!!) (he freaking brought Rosa back from the dead???) 

5. Oliver Queen- I don’t talk about Oliver enough cause Felicity gets most of my love but like, his arc is like, the completely reversing his toxic masculinity and that’s so beautiful to me??? Like, he starts out as this guy being alone and killing and not communication and keeping secrets and every season, we see him open up and lose these layers of secrets and embracing the people around him. And he regresses, he closes off, it’s not a simple and straight forward journey. And even though I fell out of love with the show, I admire Oliver’s arc so much. 

Bonus mentions: Zuko, Rafael Waither, MG Greasley, Pacey Witter, Micheal Cordero, Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos, Jack Carter, John Diggle, White Josh Wilson, Greg Serrano, Derek Morgan  . . .. I could go on forever lol (if anyone wants me to gush about a character literally all you have to do is ask lol)
