who’s your favorite fictional character and why?

1. Lorelai Gilmore. She radiates warmth right outta the TV.

2. Obi wan kenobi. He’s a mentor for maintaining patience and keeping a level head in the face of stressful situations. Luke listened to him and Anakin didn’t. When I’m in a tough spot, I ask,” what would Ben do?”

3. ugh this fictional guy from a book. he resonates with everything I’ve ever dreamed of as a child

4. Gregor Vorbarra, he is smart, brave, mature, with strong character and impressive self-control

5. Olivia Benson. Just because she’s Olivia Benson.

6. Shauna Shipman from Yellowjackets

   Technically my favorite character ever would be Eleanor Vance from The Haunting of Hill House (book) and then Carrie White from Carrie, but I think Shauna’s a descendant of those two ladies and one of the best female characters on tv right now. She’s messy and she’s ugly (not physically) and she disrupts the ideas we hold about women and motherhood. She’s real and she’s relatable.

   Edit: also all of the women both characters and actors in that show are phenomenal.

7. I’m really digging Wednesday Addams at the moment.

8. I’m still really enamored with Marcy Wu. Like, she may not have made the best choices, but I completely understand her feelings and I wish I could pick her up and tell her it’s gonna be okay.
