Tag Meme: 9 Favorite Characters
tagged by @talysalankil
Gonna copy your "one per series/franchise" because otherwise there is a genuine risk Precures and TWEWYs would eat it whole. In no particular order, and with definite "What's on my mind right now" bias:
Xion (Kingdom Hearts)
No surprise there, and yes, I did intentionally get a screenshot from the post-Riku fight for this.
2. Cure Grace/Nodoka Hanadera and Rabirin (Healin' Good Precure)
(Look, they transform as a pair, their transformation phrase is "Two flowers as one," I'm counting them both. "Then shouldn't you use a screenshot of Cure Grace?" Shut up.)
3. Anthy Himemiya (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
Yes, I saved this image as "Anthy Himemiya Is A Weird Girl Who Keeps Snails In Her Pencil Case."
4. Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu (The World Ends With You)
... Yes, choosing his most insufferably smug dialogue sprite was necessary, why do you ask?
5. The Luidaeg (October Daye)
"I am the sea witch. I am the tide you fear and the turning you can't deny. I am the sound of the waves running over your bones on the beach, little man, and I am not amused at finding you on my doorstep." She took a step forward. He took a step back. "I won't punish you for obeying orders the way she would. But I can't let an insult go unanswered. You know how it goes." A smile twisted her lips. "I'm actually grateful. You see, there are... rules... that govern what I can and can't do. But you broke them first. Now I get to do something I don't get to do very often. Now I get to play."
...
"What did you do?"
"Nothing they hadn't allowed by coming onto my territory. Every soul who came here on the Queen's business will go home, go to bed, and sleep soundly, dreaming the sweetest of dreams."
Something about that statement had teeth. I paused, and then ventured, "For how long?"
The Luidaeg smiled brilliantly. "Until something wakes them up. True love, childbirth, and bees are all on the table."
(Chimes at Midnight, Chapter Seven, pages 91-92) The wiki also uses the "I am the sea witch" bit as her epigraph but as a known lover of "true love, childbirth, and bees are all on the table" I felt it best to include the full exchange.
6. Lio Fotia (Promare)
(This BARELY beat out something from the Kakusei sequence but I love how fluffy his hair is as he tosses it.)
7. Ventuswill/Venti (Rune Factory 4)
Tragic immortal dragon god BFF <3
8. Moist von Lipwig (Discworld)
Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible.
(Going Postal) Okay, it's him and Vimes, but I figured I'd go for Moist for the variety since everyone loves Vimes.
9. Okay there were a LOT of characters I considered for this, like, seriously, I went from "hm I can't think of anyone" to "ugh I have TOO MANY options" in very little time, but ultimately, while this might be recency bias at the moment, it is also true:
Missile (Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective)
The goodest boy in gaming.
(Runners-up from things that aren't otherwise represented here include Surge the Tenrec from Sonic IDW, Miles Naismith Vorkosigan from the Vorkosigan Saga, Rose Aleon from Birdie Wing, Grovyle from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers, and huge enough swathes of the casts of Dumbing of Age and Girl Genius that I just didn't even bother trying to narrow those down.)
Tagging: In general assume I do this as an open invite to anyone seeing it, but just to name a couple people, @thesternest, @denizenhardwick, @mehanios, @purplelea, @yurisorcerer, @yoshiyakiryu

Kray didn't have much contact with normal Burnish, so it's a safe assumption to make that he doesn't know how the Burnish CPR thing works. Which makes the ending to Promare so incredibly funny.
Imagine your adoptive son who you've secretly hated his entire life punches you in the face, tells you to "shut up and watch", and proceeds to make out with the corpse of the guy he arrested last week.

Questions from the fun questions ask meme
3 - 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?
Promare. We watched this movie three times in one month last year and I’d do it again. (We should watch it again soon. I’ve been listening to kakusei a lot lately and it’s got it In My Mind.) The visuals are so cool and stimmy, the self aware humour is as funny to me as it was when I embarrassed you reacting to it for the first time we saw it at the theatre, the characters and plot go way harder than a movie made for visuals first needed to. It’s just such a fun time, watching it really does feel like stimming. I want to see Lio Fotia��s rage take the form of a dragon a hundred more times before I die.
The Princess Bride. I don’t think we’ve ever watched this one together and I don’t know why. It’s one of my favourite movies of all time. It is funny every single time, no matter how much of it I can quote by heart. It’s just one of those movies that you can’t have a bad time while watching.
High School Musical 1 & 2. It’s technically two movies but frequently bought together ya know. Like if I had to choose it’s obviously HSM2 but why choose. This one is largely the power of nostalgia but I’ve watched them so many times I might as well never stop. They’re like a part of me.
5 - What’s your favourite season and why?
Autumn. It’s got the best weather and the most pleasing aesthetic. It’s only downside is the shortening daylight hours.
