It's a lot easier to choose a fantasy character that I like than to choose a sci-fi character of whom I'm fond. I think I'll keep it chill today with my selection, which may have been predictable but is no less worthy of feature. Sebastian (Black Butler) is a fantastic fantasy character. He's temptation personified, … Continue reading Feature a Fantasy Character (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 21)
Guys, as a general rule, I don't watch science fiction anime. Remember my whole thing about "Please, dear goodness, no mechas, please no?" And while I am all about Planetes, the challenge specifies that I'm supposed to feature like a robot or an alien or something! What's a girl to do? I'm wracking my brain … Continue reading Feature a Sci-fi Character You Like (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 20)
LOOK! It's HEEN! You tell me this baby pupper from Howl's Moving Castle isn't cute. Go on, I'll wait... Hah! You can't honestly say that, can you? The little guy might at first belong to a scary witch, but he's just so sweet and smol and...HIM. And, anyway, in addition to making the best gifs, … Continue reading Feature an Animal Character (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 18)
I have the cutest cat in the word, and if I told you otherwise to appease all the other cat owners out there, I'd be lying. Yes, there are other cute cats, and yes, I can love them, but my baby Muffin is the best cat in existence for about 75 million reasons that would … Continue reading Feature the Most Evil Character (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 17)
Some of these challenge prompts get so frankly insulting, don't they? I mean, sure, I can probably think of a few characters who are none too bright, but does that really mean we need to call them out on it? Doesn't that seem the tiniest, tad bit unfair? And, on top of that, what makes … Continue reading Feature the Dumbest Character (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 16)
I'm trying quite hard, my dear anime compatriots, not to overthink these prompts. It may prove impossible for me to determine, for example, who the *smartest* anime character is, but I can sure mention one or more who I know for a fact to be intelligent. Without belaboring the point, I'm terrible about favorites and … Continue reading Feature the Smartest Character (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 15)
What does it say about my life and blog choices that I entirely forgot that I was participating in this challenge back in October? Honestly, I only just now realized that I had dropped it entirely by mistake! Though unconsciously done, it simply will not do to quit on my dedicated course, anime compatriots, so … Continue reading Feature a Boring Character (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 13)
I was kidnapped yesterday, my friend Ginger bought a wedding dress, I'm eating onigiri over my lunch break, and this challenge post is late. I blame Attack on Titan. But wait, you say. I finished AoT two days ago? Yes, you're right, but it is what it is. Allow me to explain, dear readers. I … Continue reading Feat. a Character with the Best Quotes (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 12)
Yuri Katsuki taught me that love doesn't need a label to be meaningful, to be beautiful. I've written an expose on the relationship between Victor and Yuri in the past*, but I'll reiterate that this show moved me because of its ambiguity. Yuri's passion for the ice as a manifestation of his love for Victor doesn't … Continue reading Feat. a Character Who Taught You Something About Love (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 11)
Enter... Eren Jaeger, who taught me about the nature of humanity. He taught me that perseverance, determination, nerve, and grit mean just as much as inborn ability. He taught me that even the best of us fail under pressure. He taught me that it is possible to loose yourself in the heat of the moment … Continue reading Feat. a Character Who Taught You Something About Life (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 10)
