[kitttttchaos]

I want to see more appreciation for duos — NOT ships. Altho there’s nothing wrong with ships. But let’s show some more love for amazing friendships. Cinder and Thorne. Percy and Grover. Ronan and Noah. RONAN AND BLUE. Ik these already get hype but I wanna see mooooooreeeee. And also ATLA, there are so many cute friendship pairings in a big group like that. Suki and Toph. Toph and Aang. ZUKO AND AANG HIS LITTLE BROTHER. And whether you believe in Zutara or Kataang or Zukka, all of those had to start out as friendships, and I want to see some hype for that growth and all those cute little platonic moments. Platonic love deserves more love. The power of friendship is so legit.

(tag or reblog your favorite duo headcanon or fanart :)

Best character with a color name

Round 2 Poll 28

[fairyfantasma]

i'm on a mission to read the 70+ books/series on my tbr so this list will probably change and evolve but here are some of my current favorite characters of all time ! (lmk what some of yours are !)

part 1: book characters

Lucie Herondale (Official Art by Charlie Bowater, The Last Hours series by Cassandra Clare): she's so me, she's silly, she's a writer, she writes borderline erotic fanfiction about her best friend, she sees and controls ghosts, she's the daughter of my favorite characters so she is my favorite character ^3 (cubed) (herongraystairs) <3.

Princess Leia (Art from Star Wars #12 by Stuart Immonen. "Leia, Princess of Alderaan" by Claudia Gray): i love leia in general but in this book my love for her grew x10000. she was 16 and so so angry at everything and the way she grew into her role as a rebel was >>> plus her dynamic with amilyn holdo was delightful. hot take: they should have kissed...

Xie Lian (Image from Heaven Official's Blessing Donghua Adaptation, TGCF aka "Heaven Official's Blessing" by MXTX): The only male character i've ever said HES SO MEEE to, largely cause he's a cancer zodiac like me <3 ascended at 17, went from a crown prince to the god of misfortune and scraps :'(, a virgin for 800+ years, abandoned by everyone except his 1 believer, was banished from the heavens TWICE but ascended three times, cursed, hit rock bottom and then hit it again and then hit it again, nevertheless he chooses to be kind, just wants to help people, he never knows whether to laugh or cry, he's suffered more than jesus, he's so tragic i love him.

Inej Ghafa (Official art for SDCC by Kevin Wada, Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo) : also a cancer zodiac like me hehe (automatically if a character's sign is cancer they get promoted in my brain it seems...) she endured unspeakable horrors and survived, she's a spy, skilled with knives aka the best weapon, she still has faith despite it all and she's so determined to live the best life she can, she's kind !! but also deadly!! so in conclusion, thee best character in the grishaverse + she's called "wraith" aka ghost and ghosts are kinda my thing <3

NEIL JOSTEN (Art from Dazzlingbookishshop special edition cover for The Foxhole Court by @polartss, AFTG series by Nora Sakavic): *SCREAMS* he's my everything. another character who has suffered more than jesus. no one gets him like i get him. most main character to ever main character. i love you paranoid characters who are always running but find a reason to stay <\3. i love his selflessness and his intelligence and his cockiness and his desperation. i love a bunch of aftg characters (most recently jean) but neil is neil. best thing to ever happen to me. no further comment. i can't think of anything else to say i just LOVE him. (and yes him and andrew are the epitome of love)

Annabeth Chase (Fan Art of Annabeth Chase by @madicanart, PJO series by Rick Riordon): ANOTHER ONE (cancer zodiac) my first love. i wanted to be her so bad as a kid. she had curly hair and i have curly hair so i was like YES she's me (she + hermione were my idols). i wore owl-themed jewelry for years cause of her. another smart, kind, and not to be messed with character <3 she was afraid of spiders, and often too prideful, and was always wanting to make her mom proud, and had a complicated relationship with her father. all of that hit a little too close to home :') + her wanting to be an architect in order to build something permanent .. shatters my heart to this day.

Citra Terranova (Scythe Official Bookmark art created for @milleetunlivres_box by @kat_adara, Arc of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman): her character arc is probably my favorite character arc to this day, she went from a somewhat bratty girl with low empathy to the most empathetic scythe. smart, kind, and strong-willed, she said "i vow to become the change that could have been" and then she did !! seeing how much she grew as a person from book 1 to book 2 was incredible. book 3 was a bit of a letdown but citra's character was still the highlight for me.

Blue Sargent AND Ronan Lynch (Official Art from The Raven Cycle Graphic Novel Adaptation Art by Sas Milledge, The Raven Cycle Series by Maggie Stiefvater): i tried to only pick one character per fandom but they're a package deal for me !!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHHH !!! they're the most characters to ever character, where else can i find an amplifying half-tree manic pixie alt girl from a family of psychics and a eldrich horror gay catholic farmer. don't get me wrong, i love all of the raven cycle gang but these two spoke to me deep in my soul. like i need to be their friend so badly, i would give anything !!

Benji Ovich (Fanart of Benji Ovich by painacotta, Beartown by Fredrik Backman): the newest edition to my fav characters list. beartown made me cry so much my tearducts no longer produced tears and i got a dehydration headache. i'm not yet done with the series but he's the tragic type of character that i know is going to wreak my psyche and destroy my spirit. raised by women, has a bear tattoo, described as "the boy with the most handsome face, saddest eyes, and the wildest heart they've ever seen". my heart is already broken for him.

sidenote: MORE PEOPLE NEED TO READ BEARTOWN AND DRAW FANART, WE'RE STARVING

runner ups: julian blackthorn from the dark artifices series, PERCY JACKSON !!!, tarisai from raybearer, & zoya nazyalensky from the king of scars duology

& special mention for my resident insane girls: pip fitz-amobi from agggtm, mara dyer from the mara dyer series, lissa dragomir from the vampire academy books, & juliette ferrars from shatter me

Ride of The Doors (my version)

Bowser was running into the hallway, carrying both Kiyi and Mario. “Glad you came back, Mario.” Bowser said. “Someone has to take care of you, you big Shellhead.” Mario said, patting Bowser’s hand. Screaming can be heard, until it’s revealed to be Peach charging towards Mario and lunges to the red capped mustachio. Knocking him out of Bowser's grip.

“Peaches, I really can’t talk right now…” Mario protested, as Bowser grabbed him by the wrist, unintentionally dragging both Mario and Peach across the hallway floor.

“Mario, if you don’t tell me what’s going on right now! We are through! You hear me? Through!”

Mario hastily spoke, “Okay, here’s the truth! You know the kid that they’re looking for? Bowser let her in! We tried to send her back, but Krabs had this secret plot, and Zanza is right behind us, and he’s trying to kill us.”

Peach growled venomously, “You expect me to believe that pack of lies, Mario Mario!”

Kiyi peeked over Bowser’s shell, and burbled happily, “It’s-a me, Mario!”

Peach screamed in alarm, letting go of Mario, as he was being dragged into the scare floor. “I love you, Peaches!”

Peach turned around and saw Zanza and Sargent Guy going after the duo. “Look out you…” Zanza bumped into a cart of scream canisters. “…idiot!”

Peach glared at the blonde male. Meanwhile, with Mario and Bowser, the two push through their fellow coworkers. “Look out! Coming through here!”

Bowser issued, “Sorry!”

Mario urged, “Make way! Move it! Hurry up! Hurry up!”

Bowser takes the keycard out of Kiyi’s costume and swipes through the slot on the console, anxiously waiting for it to arrive. Zanza and Sargent Guy entered the scare floor. “They there are!” Zanza pointed to our main trio.

Mario and Bowser were nervous as Zanza made his way through.

“Attention, all employees. Zanza has just broken the all-time Scare Record!” Peach spoke through the P.A system, causing an impromptu celebration. “What? No, I didn’t.” Zanza tries to say as the other video game villains cheered for him.

“Go get ‘em, Red Knight!” Peach hung the intercom receiver back onto the wall, knowing she’d played her part.

Kiyi’s door shows up from the shaft that leads into the vault. Mario points towards it, “There it is!”

Get off of my cape! Let me through!” Zanza growled as he pushed through the cheering crowd. Bowser gasped as he saw Zanza approaching him. Making a hasty decision, Bowser slammed his fist onto a red panic button, causing a massive door recall.

“Bowser, what are you doing?!” Mario asked, as Bowser ran to the door station near him, and grabbed onto the frame. “Grab on, Mario!” Bowser said as the door was getting ready to return to the vault. Mario grabbed onto Bowser’s tail, “Are you out of your…” Mario said as the grabber rose up, “…MIIIIIND?!”

Zanza finds the duo high up, so he climbs up another station's grabber and clung onto that station’s door. The doors start to head back into the vault, with Mario whimpering during the whole thing, the doors went through the shaft, “Bowser, what’re we doing?!”

“We have to get Kiyi’s door and find a station!” Bowser explained. “What a plan, simple, yet insane!” Mario commented, while unbeknownst to them, Zanza is still after them as he hopped to the door in front of him. The doors exited the shaft and into the vault, a massive room that contains millions of doors, that leads to every corner of the globe; United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Hati, Jamaica, Peru…

“Whoa..” Bowser couldn’t believe the sight, but Mario was more apprehensive. “Oh, boy.”

Soon, they were approaching a booster that was on the conveyor track. “Hold on!” Bowser warned as their door went through, sending it speeding down the track. The door raced through the conveyor track like a hi-speed roller coaster, going through twists and turns. Bowser and Mario, along with Kiyi, were screaming at the top of their lungs, with the latter having the time of her life.

“Don’t look down!” Bowser yelled as their door went through a raised section of track. It wasn’t long when they saw some doors going downhill, Bowser and Mario gasped as their door went down into a near vertical drop. Bowser and Mario screamed in terror, while Kiyi screamed in joy. Bowser noticed that the indicator light was going on and off as Kiyi was screaming in her aforementioned joy. The drop soon led to a twisted section of track which curves around a post.

“I’m gonna be sick! I’m gonna be sick!” Mario chanted as they curved around the post. “Oh, no!” Mario said as just up ahead, doors were being switched to different tracks. “No!” Bowser shouted as Kiyi’s door was switched to one track, while theirs was switched to another, same with Zanza. “Kiyi‘s door?! Bowser shouted, while Mario tracked it and pointed to it, “There it is! How are we supposed to get to it now?”

Soon, their door stopped in a dark corridor made from nearby doors. “Oh, it’s a dead end, Bowser!” Mario laments as Zanza appears on the row next to them. Mario gasped, “There he is!”

“Make her laugh!” Bowser ordered Mario.

“What, Bowser…” Mario tried to protest.

“Just do it!” Bowser urged, and Mario relented as he reluctantly punched himself in the face. “Ow!” Mario yelled in pain, but this got Kiyi laughing. Her laughter echoes, powering every single door in this massive vault. Zanza was riding a door that was sent to this row. “Get it open!” Bowser exclaimed. Mario got the door opened and inside, with Bowser following suit. “Here he comes!”

“Give me that kid!” Zanza yelled as he lunged towards the door that our heroes entered, but ended up smacking against it as it closed. Meanwhile, Mario and Bowser exited a beach house, with the former taking in the scenery, “Why couldn’t we get banished here?”

“Come on, we gotta find another door!” Bowser said as they went to another beach house a few steps away. Bowser exited the door and stopped himself from falling off. Bowser looked around frantically, until he spotted a familiar bamboo door. “Look, Kiyi’s door!” Bowser pointed it out. Bowser, then climbing to the door on the row above him. Opening the door, Bowser went inside the room associated with that door. Mario looked behind and saw Zanza hot on their trail. “There he is! Hurry up! Hurry up!” Mario panicked as he shimmied up the door frame. “Give me your hand.” Bowser said as he stuck out his hand. Mario tries to take Bowser’s hand, but slips off the frame, luckily Bowser catches him by the ankle, and pulls him inside. As soon as the door closes, Zanza comes out of the tropical door.

Meanwhile, the three were in a Japanese household, and stopped at a paper door, Bowser was confused, until Mario hastily advised, “Come on! Come on! It slides! It slides!”

“Oh, right, right, right!” Bowser slid the door open and they ran across the room. The next door they exited was moving along on the conveyor track. “Jump! I’m right behind you!” Mario calls Bowser. Bowser jumped to a door on the track below, and with Mario following suit. The three came across a balcony and they dropped onto it. They soon run to a door undergoing some maintenance, as Bowser finds Zanza still hot on trail. “Hurry up! Keep moving!” Mario urged. Bowser opened the door and urged, “Get inside!”

Mario hopped into the door, but due to the door lying flat on the ground, his trajectory was changed, as he fell into a French household. Landing onto the floor, Mario was confused, “That was weird…”

Bowser jumped in, but ended up landing on Mario. “Mario?” Bowser wondered, until he heard some muffled yelling, along with an angrily pounding fist pounding the floor. Bowser then realized that he was sitting on the poor guy. “Sorry, buddy…” Bowser apologized as he pulled Mario back on his feet, albeit a bit dazed, but he recuperates as they head out. Zanza, already on the balcony and went through the French door, he growled when he got in. Zanza emerges from a door moving along on the conveyor track, he was about to jump to another door, but the door suddenly slammed in front of him, leaving bits of his blonde hair sticking out. The door slammer was revealed to Mario.

“I hope that hurts, God boy!” Mario taunted as he jumped to the track below him, joining Bowser and Kiyi. “Great job, buddy! We lost him!” Bowser congratulated his pal, until Kiyi suddenly slipped from Bowser’s arm with a scream. “Kiyi!” Bowser exclaimed, as Zanza suddenly showed up with Kiyi in his grasp. “No…” Zanza pulled out a pin that caused the hook to let go of the door and send it into free fall.

“Nice working with ya!” Zanza called out to the falling duo. The door was plummeting fast as Bowser screamed, “Get it open!”

“I’m trying!” Mario exclaimed.

“OPEN THE DOOR!!!” Bowser yelled as Mario got the door to open, he went in first. Once he went in, he grabbed Bowser. “Come on, get in here!” Mario yelled as he pulled Bowser in, and shuts the door moments before being smashed upon impact. Zanza jumped from the hook to another door as Kiyi cried in fear when being held by Zanza.

A flatbed cart with doors and door parts stacked on top of it moved, until Bowser and Mario burst out of it. Bowser and Mario looked around the balcony, where they saw a familiar holy dressed figure riding a distant door. “There they are!”

Bowser raced to the edge of the balcony, over to more moving doors. The koopa balances himself on the railing, hoping to catch up with Zanza. Mario asked, “Bowser, what are you doing?! Bowser!”

Bowser hopped to a passing door, behind the god, with Mario doing the same. They rode along as Mario urged, “Looks like we caught the express, pal!”

“Do you see them?” Bowser asked Mario. “Straight ahead!” Mario pinpointed where both Zanza and Kiyi are, prompting Bowser to hop to another passing door. Meanwhile, Kiyi squirmed in the god’s grasp, but he only tightened it. Bowser dropped to the door on the track below him and dropped to a second one, but he slipped, causing the door to tilt. A passing group of doors slammed against it, alerting Zanza. Bowser fixed his position as Zanza entered the door he was riding. Bowser swung the door, and used the momentum to break into the room, finding Kiyi.

“Dragon!” Kiyi greeted her shelled guardian.

“Kiyi!” Bowser cheered, as he was about to pick her up. Zanza kicked Bowser in the face, causing him to dangle off the bottom of the door frame for dear life. The god stood over the koopa, both evilly and triumphantly. “Look at everyone’s favorite villain now, YOU STUPID PATHETIC WASTE!!!” Zanza shouted as he kicked Bowser’s left hand off the door frame. Kiyi whimpers in fear as Zanza shouted, “YOU'VE BEEN NUMBER ONE FOR TOO LONG, KOOPA! NOW YOUR TIME IS UP!”

Zanza stepped on Bowser’s right hand and pushed it an inch. Kiyi’s fear was soon replaced by seething rage. “AND DON'T WORRY, I'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE KID!” Zanza finished as he grinded his foot into Bowser’s hand. “No!” Bowser winced.

“YAAAAHHHH!!!!!” Zanza yelled out in pain as he was pulled back inside, revealing to Kiyi sitting on his shoulders, holding onto his blonde hair. She yanks on Zanza’s blonde hair, causing him to yell out in pain with each yank and she flies him into a bookshelf, in which he slides down against. Bowser, meanwhile, pulls himself back up as Kiyi flies Zanza into another wall, causing him to go low to the ground, where she notices a baseball bat, grabs it and proceeds to use it to beat him in the head with it. Kiyi hopped off as Bowser grabbed and restrained Zanza, Kiyi growled at him.

“She’s not scared of you, anymore.” Bowser said to Zanza as Kiyi kept growling, then smiled. “Looks like you’re out of a job,” Bowser smirked as Zanza gulped.

We then cut to Mario propping a door against a railing, and then opening the door. “All right, let’s see the old stuff here, pal.” Mario spoke like an umpire, as Bowser swung Zanza back and forth.

“No, no, no, no, wait, please, don’t! Don’t!” Zanza panicked.

“Hum baby. Hum baby. Here’s the pitch…” Mario continued his baseball style speech.

“NO!” Zanza yelled as Bowser chucked him through the door. Mario instantly closed the door as soon Zanza went inside. “And he is… OUTTA HERE!!!” Mario announced.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, in a cabin in the woods, the lights turned on, revealing both the kid’s and Zanza’s silhouettes. “Momma, another slasher got in the house again!” The kid pointed to a silhouetted Zanza, which cues in the mother’s silhouette. “Another slasher?! Gimme that shovel!” The mother told her kid, who obliged by giving her the object of choice. “Come here!”

The mother whacked Zanza, who’s getting another butt whupping for the second time. “Yeah, momma, get that slasher!” The kid cheers for his mother, who kept whacking Zanza, highlighted by his cries of pain.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, Bowser punched the indicator light, shattering it, effectively putting that door out of commission. Bowser then gestures to Mario, “Care to the honors, Mario?”

“With pleasure…” Mario accepted, and he tipped the door over the railing sending it into free fall, where it got smashed upon impact. Kiyi waves in a taunting manner and blows a raspberry at the end. “That’s right, Kiyi, you beat him.” Bowser congratulated Kiyi. “Come on.” Bowser advised.

The trio finally made it Kiyi’s door after all of the madness that just happened. “Okay, Kiyi, it’s time for you to go home now. Behave yourself and be a good girl, okay.” Bowser told Kiyi, until they opened it, revealing other doors stacked behind it. Mario gasped, “Oh, no.”

“The power’s out. Make her laugh again.” Bowser exclaimed, gesturing to Kiyi. Mario stood on the conveyor track. “I got a move here, it will bring down the house.” Mario said, as he jumped, did a flip, and that resulted in a rather… painful landing. Bowser flipped Kiyi’s hood back and apologized, “Sorry, she didn’t see that!”

“What?!” Mario exclaimed, pulling himself up, shaky in the legs after that rather… painful landing. “What did you do, forget to check that her stupid hood was up, you big dope?!”

“Uncle Mario, try not to yell at her. You know that we need her to laugh.” Bowser said in a sing-songy voice. “Right!” Mario said, sheepishly. He chuckled and said, “Hey, Kiyi! Just kidding! Look!”

Mario slammed the door on his cheeks, squishing them in an attempt of making a silly face, and spoke in gibberish by his puckered lips. Kiyi was not amused as Mario continued, “Funny, right? Huh? See what the…”

“These are the jokes, kid.” Mario said in annoyance. “Whoa!” Mario exclaimed as the door suddenly lurched, and started to move along on the conveyor track. “What’s happening?!” Mario asked. “Hold on!” Bowser advised.

the colossal brainedness of it all 🤯

Alec and Clary hating each other's guts in cob is iconic & funny but what makes it so much funnier is how quickly they get over it. by the epilogue they're both like "I feel so bad about all the mean & completely untrue things I said to you and for being really shitty/shoving you against a wall/nearly causing you to die :( im so sorry. anyway, let's never tell Jace any of this k?" and then proceeded to never acknowledge any of it again. by coa it's like it never happened at all. like it doesn't even get a mention in their inner monologues or anything. the one time it does come up is in tftsa due to Simon's incomplete memories & him being under the impression Alec doesn't like Clary. and when he brings it up to Alec his immediate response is this

like I'm obsessed with their dynamic, nobody's doing it like them

FAQ

~"How is [x] character a fashion disaster? I like their look/ they're iconic/ they look alright/ etc. etc." First of all, this is a very lighthearted competition that doesn't mean to be negative or judgmental! A Fashion Disaster can sometimes be (affectionate): in some cases there's nothing more iconic than a bit of this pizazz. I like quite a few of the looks on this list (and sometimes dress much worse) but if they have been included, this means that either: 1) they have been nominated multiple times 2) they have been nominated at least once and whoever nominated them provided a very convincing or funny explanation of why they were a Fashion Disaster (for example by pointing out one particularly bad outfit - not necessarily their main outfit!) 3) they have been nominated at least once and upon looking them up, I noticed that they tick many of the boxes that were described repeatedly in other people's explanations of what they consider disastrous: e.g. clashing patterns, excessive accessories, crocs, bad haircuts, etc. etc. In any case, every poll will come with a brief explanation of why people have been nominating a certain character! To make sure that people vote informed ❤️ ~"Why are you randomizing matchups instead of seeding?" I totally see the value of seeding for most competitions, but this one here is largely unpredictable - a lot of characters got the same amount of nominations, and how Disastrous they are is entirely subjective. The competition is also quite visual-based - it's about looks rather than knowing a character, so it's more likely that people will vote for an unknown character than in other competitions, which risk becoming popularity polls quite quickly. Basically: I'd simply have no idea how to determine the ranking of most contestants here for proper seeding! That's why I opt for randomized matches - but I did make sure to put the two most nominated characters on the opposing sides of the bracket. ~"Why is [x] character not included?" There was a total of 174 unique characters nominated to this tournament! If the one you were rooting for did not make it, I'm sorry! One or more of the following was likely the cause: 1) they have not been nominated more than once 2) they have not ticked as many boxes for what other people considered disastrous as some other characters with a single nomination did 3) a lot of characters have been submitted from the same source. After choosing 3 most nominated ones, I couldn't include more! The rule is max. 3 characters per source. ~"Is propaganda encouraged?"

More than encouraged! Please tag me if you make any posters/posts/try to support your faves in another way throughout the tournament, I'd love to see and reblog it! ❤️

What are you top five favorite characters of all time?

not a question I can answer without some cheating and even then remember that I have a lot of media interests so something I haven’t revisited in a while could be lower on the radar in my mind’s eye. But off the top of my head without second guessing myself too much:

top 10 female tv chars: Buffy Summers (Buffyverse), Julia Wicker (The Magicians), Spencer Hastings (Pretty Little Liars), Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls), Katherine Pierce (The Vampire Diaries), Rebecca Bunch (Crazy Ex Girlfriend), Annie Edison (Community), Cordelia Chase (Buffyverse), Alice Quinn (The Magicians). honorable mentions: Margo Hanson (The Magicians), lots of other Buffyverse women but especially Faith Willow Tars and Dawn, multiple other TVDu women but especially Hope and Bonnie, Valencia Perez (CEG), multiple other pll women but especially Mona Vanderwaal, Root (Person of Interest), Sana and Noora (Skam Norway), May and Daisy (Agents of SHIELD), Effy Stonem (Skins UK), Devi Vishwakumar (Never Have I Ever).

top 10 female book characters: Julia Wicker again although it has been a really long time since I touched the tm books.. but remember I adored her in them, Blue Sargent (The Raven Cycle), Zoya Nazyalensky (Grishaverse), Sydney Sage (Bloodlines), Tessa Gray (The Shadowhunter Chronicles), Inej Ghafa (Grishaverse), Ling Chan (The Diviners), Karou (Daughter of Smoke and Bone), there are a lot of candidates for that 10th spot but my gut impulse is either Nina Zenik or Piper McLean.

honorable mentions: Theta Knight and Evie O’Neill (The Diviners), Emma Carstairs (The Shadowhunter Chronicles), Felicity Worthington (The Gemma Doyle trilogy), Emma Woodhouse + Anne Elliot (Jane Austen), Rose Hathaway (Vampire Academy), Zuzana Novakova and Liraz (Daughter of Smoke and Bone), Kate Harker (Monsters of Verity), Mackenzie Bishop (The Archived), multiple other Riordanverse girls but if I’m limiting Reyna and Annabeth, Genya Safin (Grishaverse).

top 5 male characters (this one is fairly reliable to take as definite since I have way less candidates): Adam Parrish (The Raven Cycle), Andrew Minyard (All for the Game), Abed Nadir (Community), Nico Di Angelo (Riordanverse), Kaz Brekker (Grishaverse)

honorable mentions: Gansey (The Raven Cycle), Julian Blackthorn and Magnus Bane (The Shadowhunter Chronicles), Eliot Waugh (The Magicians), Percy Jackson (Riordanverse)

The reason I love maura Sargent is because she speaks for every bitch on this earth. She straight up admitted (UNASHAMED) that she likes creepy miserable men. Like- That woman is relatable asf and would completely understand me when I say that I wanna smash an unhinged mafia boss. The Silent brothers? She'd get it. Bryde? She completely gets it dw bae
