Hello....Do you mind if I ask your top 5 (or top 10) favorite moments from any media that you love (books, anime/manga, tv series, movies, games, etc) and also your top 7 (or top 10) favorite characters ever? Thanks if you want to answer. Sorry if I ask too much....

First of all sorry for the super late reply, I usually never check my inbox 😅 and I also took a long time to think about it 🤔

Secondly… I’ll try to answer as shortly as possible and not make it too long — UPDATE: I failed.

I’ll start with my favourite moments, in no particular order.

Also lol it’s way more than 7-10 but I didn’t want to cut anything >_<

0) MILK AND HONEY by Rupi Kaur

Absolute everything, each and every poem is amazing, some of my favourites:

People go but how they left always stays

Our backs tell stories

no book have the spine to carry

I am water.

Soft enough to offer life

Tough enough to drown it away

I do not want to have you

to fill the empty parts of me

I want to be full on my own

I want to be so complete

I could light a whole city

and then I want to have you cause the two of us combined could set it on fire

0) HAMILTON: WAIT FOR IT

The music, the lyrics, they always leave me breathless:

Wait for It

Death doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep living anyway.

We rise and we fall and we break

And we make our mistakes.

And if there's a reason I'm still alive

When everyone who loves me has died

I'm willing to wait for it.

I am the one thing in life I can control

I am inimitable I am an original

I'm not falling behind or running late

I'm not standing still

I am lying in wait

PS. Also FIRST BURN. Such a pleasant listening experience. And the lyrics again 👌

0) EPIC THE MUSIAL: GOD GAMES by Jorge Rivera-Herrans

Really outstanding, the development Athena as a character goes through to get to this point, Zeus being his usual showy jerk self, all the other gods and their motivations and how the arguments with which they are won over. Really well made and their voices are just exceptional!!

PS. Athena’s WARRIOR OF THE MIND is also excellent! It’s how I got into this from TikTok and I’m so glad I did!

0) THE GREATEST SHOWMAN: REWRITE THE STARS

Cool movie, didn’t particularly care for the plot or characters, but the music… simply stunning and the singing and choreography for this!!

PS. Also NEVER ENOUGH. Leaves me spellbound every time.

0) KINGDOM: LEGENDARY WAR

Mayfly’s performance of Love Poem [original by IU] was just outstanding and heavenly!!!

Eunkwang (BtoB), Jongho (Ateez), Seungmin (Stray Kids) really managed to perform flawlessly and showcase their vocals perfectly!

PS. from ROAD TO KINGDOM. The Boyz’s performance of Danger [original by Taemin from Shinee] was just so surprising and exciting!

0) ALIEN STAGE | ROUND 6: CURE

The heartbreak 💔 for both the characters. Two humans living in an alien society, the mistreatment and abuse, the unrequited feelings, trying to get the other’s attention but not knowing how to express their feelings and just resorting to violence, the self-sacrifice and willingness to do whatever to make sure the other survives this round 🥺😭

PS. 💀 as of ROUND 7

0) OCEAN’S ELEVEN

The final heist of the first movie, it’s so satisfying how everything comes together, really clever and well executed. You could have predicted it if you paid very close attention to the background throughout the movie!

PS. This quote:

You look down, they know you're lying and up, they know you don't know the truth. Don't use seven words when four will do. Don't shift your weight, look always at your mark but don't stare, be specific but not memorable, be funny but don't make him laugh. He's got to like you then forget you the moment you've left his side.

0) INCEPTION

Towards the end, when they execute the kick for every level simultaneously.

Really creative how everyone has too coordinate and find different ways to recreate the sensation of falling (car falling from a bridge, crashing elevator, destroying the foundation of the hospital and just free falling from a building). It’s so satisfying!

PS. The whole movie is so visually stunning and everything is so cleverly executed!

0) THE MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE

Page 250 *sob sob* 😭… Don’t want to spoil much but: “Please, Tommy. Please.”

0) LEAGUE OF LEGENDS

The cinematic Awaken (2019), how I discovered the universe and even I’d I don’t particularly like the game, the lore and champions, the series tv, comics and cinematics are amazing! 🤩

In this loved how everything looked so crisp and we combine the different storylines of characters from different regions and they all reach their climax together with the song!

Irelia looked beautiful, Riven vs Draven in the colosseum, Jhin playing the piano and later fighting Camille!!!

PS. Aatrox’s voice lines always kill me. So interesting and incredibly delivered:

“You think you can kill me? NOTHING-CAN-KILL ME, I AM NOT MORTAL, I DO NOT DIE, I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY, I AM THE ENEMY. CHALLENGE ME MORTALS, I AM HERE”

"I stood against the void. Now... I would welcome it."

"Once in noble battle i screamed against the silence, i stood as light against the darkness, now i serve a new master... Oblivion"

“Am I the abyss? Or did I gaze into it?

"My darkness was not born, it was forged by my prison."

0) ASSASSIN’S CREED 4: BLACK FLAG

Blackbeard’s speech is still fresh in my mind so many years later, he really had a way of delivering his lines that was really compelling:

Caution's nothing without charisma! For if a man plays the fool, then it's only fools he'll persuade. But appear to be the devil, and all men will submit.

It's all a big show. Give your quarry something to fear, some hellish thing from a fever dream, and men will drop to their knees pleading for their Lord before all else!

PS. Loved how they explained the Creed:

To say that nothing is true is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must be the shepherds of our civilization.

To say that everything is permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious of tragic.

0) GENSHIN IMPACT, Chapter V Act IV (Natlan)

Really fantastic and epic! First with Ororon and Capitano, then the different ideology battle between the Fatui Harbinger and the Archon, them cooperating. The war against the Abyss, they really manage to show how hopeless and gruelling and bleak war can be, every choice you made and didn’t make affected the outcome, it was tiresome and difficult and at the end of the day disappointing because you could never save everyone. But also it was hype and epic and you kept fighting back and in the end we see through the fake sky!!!! Something that’s been speculated and theorised for years!

Also all the lore bombs this patch 🧐

PS. Chapter IV Act V (Fontaine Finale)

Really emotionally charged and beautiful, one of the most powerful conclusion to an act ever, you feel and care for every cha and they all came together to help of their nation!

0) AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER

The last battle of Zuko vs Azula. Simply gorgeous, the colours, the fire, the music, the silence, the atmosphere, the characters and the end of their journey and development. Everything was just perfect 😍

PS. Katara blood bending for the first time, really left an impact on me, really drives home how not hype and actually awful it is to be able to do that.

0) HUNTER X HUNTER

Ep 51. With the background of Mozart’s Lacrimosa, it was so surprising yet alluring how the Phantom Troupe going on a massacre against both mafia and police members manages to be. Really a fitting requiem for Uvogin!

PS. Killua’s ripping that death row inmate’s heart. So shocking but badass!

0) GINTAMA

Gintoki vs Takasugi. Loved how it’s structured, we go from such a brutal fight in the present to the happy times of the past and slowly we’re fed the story of exactly what happened at the end of the war and why they all went their separate ways 😢

PS. Kamui vs everyone. Similar, we see his past and how he bacare the man he is today. Also I absolutely adore his fighting style! And him going out of control 🫢, also the end!

0) BLEACH

Ichigo vs Ulqiorra. The themes (a human gradually descending into becoming a monster and a hollow slowly gaining a heart), the music, the designs (Kubo has the best transformations!), the colours (black green white for Ulquiorra & b orange black for Ichigo). So hype, so cool, so badass. And the ending is very bittersweet.

PS. The official videos Rapport & Eien. Rapport is such a nostalgic reel of all the seasons before and the most iconic moments presented wonderfully with such a good song! And Eien really encapsulates everything Bleach is about and all the best scenes of that season!

0) HAIKYUU

Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa, specifically Tsukishima’s yell! It was such a rewarding payoff from the previous seasons, really showed his growth as a character and a player. Also so hype and seeing everyone reacting and joining in being happy for that point was so wholesome!

PS. Karasuno vs Nekoma. The awaited dumpster battle, the rivals finally get to have a match and it was so interesting!

0) KUROKO’S BASKETBALL

Kise vs Aomine. First match we see without our main team, yet so engaging and nerve wracking. We see two friends going at each other with (almost) everything they have and wanting to surpass each other so badly! Also Kise finally realising his potential.

PS. Kagami vs Aomine, the moment where two people in the zone finally face each other! So much tension and excitement, also it was animated really well.

0) ONE PIECE

Fan Letter. Such a nostalgic feel, it really embodies a love letter to all the one piece fan who have followed this story for years! We see the world through completely different eyes, from the perspective of the normal people thrust in a world full of danger and monsters. But they are still able to make a difference and live freely throughout it all.

PS. Eps 982: the Strawhats’ toast, the colours, the animation, the feeling of embarking on this epic task that will change the world forever. Also the musical number XD

0) LINK CLICK

The ending for season 2!! We just had a shocking twist, but that led to another astonishing revelation. Everything prior now has a whole different light and I can’t wait for the next season!!

PS. The ending for season 1! Startling development, our happy ending is slipping away and we are left with the horror of a new enemy!

——— For the characters I’ll try to be as concise as possible 😆

0. Bill Cipher (GRAVITY FALLS)

Very funny yet extremely terrifying, loved the book and being able to explore more of his mind and getting his thoughts on various topics.

0. Deadpool (MARVEL)

Very hilarious and comical, yet can instantly switch to completely serious, badass and competent. Also angst of a character who can’t die but everyone around him does.

0. Legolas (THE HOBBIT, LORD OF THE RINGS)

Very graceful and whimsical, such a great portrayal of an elf. Yet can be ruthless and cold, as expected of such a long lived and experienced creature.

Also loved the movies because we see his journey from ‘young’ reckless killing machine, to more calm and composed ally.

0. Edmund Pevensie (NARNIA)

His development from the brooding spiteful brat who betrayed his siblings to a wise king who’s logical, mature, courageous; loyal confidant and supporter for his siblings.

0. Stiles Stilinski (TEEN WOLF)

Starts off as the comic relief, weak human of the group, but still smart and resourceful. Goes through so many hardships and overcomes so many obstacles.

0. Nico di Angelo (PERCY JACKSON, HEROES OF OLYMPUS)

Starts off as a kid, slightly annoying and bratty, goes through such dark times and manages to conquer every challenge he’s faced with.

Really one of the most resilient character I’ve ever seen.

0. Cloud Strife (FINAL FANTASY 7, DISSIDIA)

Starts a practically a nobody, a naive withdrawn kid. Never gives up no matter how hard his goals are and even when he’s shattered by outside forces, he still manages to retain himself. Even when he retreats in his friends and pretends to be someone he’s not, he still manages to become and hero and overcome his problems and past.

0. Leona Kingscholar (TWISTED WONDERLAND)

Based on Scar, hated second prince who will never be king. Extremely knowledgeable and capable, cunning and intelligent and gifted with magic, yet lazy and depressed, has given up on his future since he didn’t get anywhere with hard work. You can’t lie to him, he can’t be tricked nor manipulated, may seem disinterested or inattentive but is actually always carefully observing his surroundings.

His unique magic is exceptionally powerful and terrifying, could easily kill everyone around him.

Also his chant is so badass: I am the one who hungers. I am the one who thirsts. I am the one who robs you of your future. Now... Kneel before me! KING’S ROAR

0. Chuuya Nakahara (BUNGOU STRAY DOGS)

Badass, short tempered, beautiful. Extraordinarily capable in hand to hand combat, has one of the strongest abilities, is actually very intelligent and resourceful even if he lets others do the strategising.

0. Fay D. Flourite (TSUBASA RESERVOIU CHRONICLE)

Liar, long lived mage with too much power and multiple curses. Weak enough to not want to kill those dear to him, even if they’re a danger to others and directly threaten him. Strong enough to love his new found family and do everything in his power to protect them.

0. Lavi (D.GRAY MAN)

Bookman junior, part of a clan tasked with recording all history, even the secret events, he should be uninvolved and unbiased, should just mechanically record happenings without his emotions getting in the way. Liar, alway wears a mask to hide his true self, took dozens of different names and roles, can speak ani language. Is slightly becoming emotionally compromised and invested in his comrades.

0. Kurama / Shuichi Minamino (YU YU HAKUSHU)

Calm and collected, intelligent high schooler, with the soul of an ancient cunning thieving nine tail fox. Every time he fight he is cold blooded and merciless, uses his techniques, experience and knowledge to make up for his now weaker body.

0. Hibari Kyoya (KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN)

Feral capable fighter who love discipline and his city. An aloof cloud who sometimes drift over to save his Family. Uses Tonga and handcuffs, his Box animal is a hedgehog, has a pet bird. Beats delinquents and they respect him so much they reform themselves and serve him.

0. Karma Akabane (ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM)

Hard working prodigy, learned first hand how genius alone is not enough to stay at the top. Funny, violent and manipulative, able to control and direct others in order to utilise their best abilities.

0. Hiruma Yoichi (EYESHIELD 21)

Passionate, shady, manipulative, strategic devil. Will use anything within the rules to win, has countless of cards up his sleeve. A Spartan instructor, demanding leader, will trick anyone into doing what he wants, has blackmail on everyone. Not a genius, just someone who works hard and expects others to do the same.

“Talent can get you so far. Hard work can get you ANYWHERE.”
