Good morning! Your blog has been giving me life recently. Do you have any whump recommendations for nerdy characters? Ex. Jesse Mills (whom I recently binge watched Hudson and Rex for after the glasses post lol).
Hello!! Hope your day is going well! I definitely have some nerdy characters to recommend :D

this got VERY long, putting it under a cut. but this is the New Project talk
tw blackmail, ""a prank"" (it's not funny, it's cruel), school setting, manipulation, bullying (kind of but not really yet, it's also not a whole group doing it)
Personal notes. This is a story where I will absolutely not lean into realism, not even as much as my other stories. Both because I'm not from the US, I don't have any experience with fraternities, I'm basically coasting by on stuff my US based friends tell me about the education system (but I'm not stressing much about getting it all accurate lmao), I've never studied at an ivy league college (clearly), AND ALSO, MOST IMPORTANTLY, school bullying is a trigger of mine. So if this gets too realistic, I'll end up hurting myself mentally.
Regardless, this is a concept I'd like to explore anyway, and this comes with restrictions. Obviously, there's a bunch of potential when a frat house is involved, right. Like hazing. There'll be none of that here because hazing is like one of my biggest mental no-no's. Any sort of school-based GROUP bullying is off the table (so like, big groups of people ganging up on one person, or even multiple people, or bullying in front of a huge crowd), so keep that in mind as you read, so you won't be disappointed by multiple "missed opportunities". I also won't go into detail on how the blackmail went. It'll mostly be implied.
So now you might be asking, what's it about then? The main focus of this story is one pathetic little guy getting blackmailed and manipulated and eventually kidnapped by another guy. So it's basically just power dynamics, humiliation and hidden in plain sight - aka all the stuff you can read about in my other stories, but this time on a college campus, dressed in preppy clothes.
And the reason I'm writing this long-winded notes section is just to say... please be patient with me. You might think it's dumb that I want to write a story that borders on triggering. But if I'm the one writing, I can explore all the elements I want to, while strategically avoiding my squicks and triggers. It's also to say that if you send prompts for the story, or questions about some of the events, please keep in mind that there's a bigger than usual chance that the reply will be "sorry, I can't do that/sorry, I can't go into more detail". It's absolutely not your responsibility to keep track of my sometimes very unpredictable triggers, so don't stress over sending the ask in the first place! Just be aware that I might not be able to answer it. Thank you for reading this part.
Also if you find preppy clothes and dark academia cringey- I don't accept criticism. Cringe is dead. I want my men dressed like 1940's Yale students. Refer to my post about wanting to tear apart men in tweed if you have any further questions. /j
ACTUAL STORY TALK STARTS HERE
SO the premise of this thing I'm doing. I'll share my blorbo notes too, in just a second. But the setting is just this ivy league school where everyone is very smart, very cool, very rich, whatever. And here's the message that inspired the "plot" (I have no idea about actual plot, it might never have actual plot, it might just be a series of hot guy bullying nerdy little guy drabbles) (shoutout to @whumpsday):
Tumblr media
What I changed so far is the fact that it's not an outright kidnapping as mentioned here, but a blackmail situation where whumpee can then see his marks falling, and face the humiliation of constantly being berated by professors who don't understand what's going on. And then it just escalates and gets progressively worse and worse, because no one's stepping in, so why should whumper hold back at all?
And I'm naming the story Poisoned Ivy because I'm very funny and witty. Picrew I used for the boys
Bryce Donnelley
Tumblr media
Second smartest guy on campus. President of his frat house. Student council treasurer. 20 years old when he decides he’s had enough of being second. He asks a sorority sister friend of his to help ‘prank’ Nate, and eventually gets his hands on some compromising enough material that he feels comfortable starting his blackmail plan. It’s perfect, really; now he can just focus on being cool and friendly, partying throughout the week, while Nate sits in his dorm and does his work for him. Better than his own, of course <3
Bryce is the popular kid. The one with all the friends, all the academic achievements, all the sports trophies. But at the same time, he somehow also manages to be laid back and casual about it. No one ever really sees him study, but he’s there for every single party, with a devilish alcohol tolerance. He’s notorious for making bets with others, and somehow always winning. He’s on good terms with all the teachers, always promising to put in a little more effort, so he could live up to his ‘full potential’. 
He’s not overt about his need for control and dominance. In fact, he’s a very friendly guy! Always cheery and nice, pleasant to talk to, happy to help newcomers and those who are struggling with college life. Even though he’s so good at everything, somehow he stays grounded and humble, and you’d never ever see him bully anyone. Hell, he stands up to the bullies! There’s really no reason to dislike him. He’s very sorry if you find his fraternity brothers obnoxious, he’s trying to reign them in <3
Opinion on Nate: Cute little nerd boy. I wish I could just drag him to a party myself and get him just a little drunk <3 It’d be good for him! He might even make some friends for once in his life. As for the rankings, no, it doesn’t really bother me that he writes better papers and stuff. He’s clearly putting in a lot of effort, it’s admirable :)
Nathaniel Fane
Tumblr media
Smartest guy on campus. Avoids frat bros like the plague, given he’s a stereotypical nerd boy, just waiting to be fucking bullied. 20 years old when he gets a suspicious message from one of the prettiest and most popular girls. He has no one to tell him that it’s probably a prank, and his parents are encouraging him to finally go out with a girl, especially if the opportunity just arose like that. Why wouldn’t girls be interested in a driven and hard-working guy like him? So he gives in, and his life suddenly falls apart. 
Nate is the resident smart guy. People don’t avoid him on purpose because of nerd reasons, it’s more the other way around. He feels too awkward to socialise much. He actually gets invited to parties sometimes, but he has never once turned up to one. He’s kind of a teacher’s pet, stemming from the fact that he basically has no other friends aside from the professors who tell him he’s doing a good job. 
He honestly just wants the college experience, but he feels like it’s way too late now. Everyone belongs to a clique now, everyone has their established group of friends, and he’s missed out on too much to try and fit in now. Still, people are friendly towards him, and he’s kind of friendly towards them. Because of his anxiety, he does come off stand-offish and stuck-up sometimes. Even more than that, he does feel like he’s above all this sometimes. Even if it’s just a defence mechanism for loneliness, it bleeds through in his explanations when someone asks him for help. That’s why most people actually go to Bryce. He may only be second best according to the numbers, but he’s sure as hell not subtly condescending the entire time.
Opinion on Bryce: President of the most obnoxious frat house. I can’t imagine how much energy it takes for him to restrain himself outside of it, and to appear even semi-normal. I will never accept an invitation from him until the day that I die. No, I’m not jealous of how many friends he has and how popular he is, and I’m not studying this much just so I can have this one thing I’m better at.

Do you have any recs for books where the whumpee is a nerdier type?
I'm sorry this took so long, but I have been trying to think of some of the books I've read with nerdier type, but I don't have that many. The sort of feral bad guy is usually the character I like the most, so that's how my collection leans. But:
The Jumper series by Steven Gould: especially the first two, Jumper and Reflex (the books are WILDLY different than the movie they made of them). Davey is definitely the book-loving type, and leans more towards the nerdier end. Reflex is literally an entire book of whump for him, and that's how I found the series (Jumper has been banned in my country at that point).
The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C Wrede - the nerdy whump characters are in the later books though (and it depends on your definition of nerdy in a fantasy setting) Telemain the Magician and Mendanbar the king of the Enchanted Forest boy wind up in their fair share of trouble.
The Ranger's Apprentice Series by John Flanagan - again, sort of depends on your definition of nerdy in a fantasy series. I call Will a nerd in this context because he's small, super nosy, not really what you imagine as your typical action/adventure hero and a lot of his strength is smarts in situations.
Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo - Wylan is definitely on the scale of nerdy whumpee.
Harry Dresden by Jim Butcher - I would actually classify Harry Dresden as a dork before a nerd, which really just means there's an added physical klutzy-ness to his character.
Also, not gonna lie - I misread this ask at first and had like, half a page of TV shows and movies with nerdy whumpees and then I actually reread it and was like...well, dang.
Sorry it's such a short list!

2, 13, 14, 21?
🥹 okay so…
2: What’s your favorite type of whump?
I sincerely don’t think I have an all time favorite? More like it depends on the character, and what they typically deal with vs. what would inspire the most whumperflies to put them in that situation.
But if I had to choose… hidden wounds?
13: Favorite type of whumpee?
The cute one? Or according to a quiz I took last year the nerdy one.
14: Favorite type of caretaker?
Ohhh that’s easy, the gruff one. The one that isn’t used to showing a lot of care or emotion but has a soft spot for the whumpee.
21: Platonic or romantic whump?
Platonic usually, but sometimes romantic is fine too as long as it’s well written and in character

Am I just logging into this account to talk my feelings out about rediscovering my love for my first blorbo and whumpee?
Yes, yes I am.
I don’t know, man. I just feel I unlocked a part of myself I didn’t even know existed by going back and rewatching Digimon. I not only re-connected with the kid in me, I re-connected with the kid in me that liked thinking of her favourite characters suffering. And to be able to connect that with the me of now, who’s completely shameless in her love for whump but also has a deeper understanding of why she likes whump... I feel like I’m giving kid me a hug she didn’t know she needed.
In a weird way, it’s a form of self-love. Not only that I’m not ashamed anymore, but that I know myself better and I embrace that fully. And idk, it just feels so fucking good. It makes me so fucking happy.
And for a bonus point, I’m 99% convinced that in Digimon, within the writers group there were some - if not all - who said “We are way more accepting of the special interests in our audience than those Westerners, so how about we give a hat tip to the young whumpers out there? We’ve got 7-8 main characters, how about we make three of them whumpees?”
And by that you got 1) the shy, nerdy whumpee (Jou) who admittedly doesn’t get whumped as much, but he still counts 2) the brave, nearing on careless whumpee (Taichi) who gets himself in trouble in order to protect the people he loves and 3) the stoic whumpee (Yamato) who’s secretly a boiling cauldron of emotions and probably gets the most whump out of all.
I mean, when on Yamato’s first centric episode you show him being almost squeezed to death by a monster
Tumblr media
while, by the way, his kid brother is helplessly watching and crying for someone to help his brother,
then you show Yamato so worried about said kid brother’s safety after being forcefully separated that he runs outside in a snowstorm, hoping to find him, and ends up passing out from the cold
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(sweetly combining whump and angst, by the way)
then, many episodes later, you show him being attacked by a monster in the form of WRAPPING A CHAIN AROUND HIS NECK AND ACTIVELY STRANGLING HIM
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean, I don’t know. If I weren’t meant to see this as a kid and have my personality defined by it, I don’t know what I was supposed to be doing with it. Some people went like “Oh noes bad digimons!” and for me this was the beginning of “This will define my tastes for my entire fucking life”
And you know, it’s such a sweet feeling, to go back and remember what made you who you are, you know?

Shoulders Back, Eyes on Me
Day 4 of @themerrywhumpofmay
Tropes and CWs: choking / breath whump, captivity, restraints, hero whumper, villain whumpee, references to nerdy stuff the author likes.
“Look at me,” Hero commands. It’s the sort of voice that rings too loud and smug in the confines of the room; the sort of voice that carries an authority not used to being disobeyed. Villain keeps their chin tucked down, staring at the smears of dried blood on the cement floor. They may be helpless in this room, in these chains, but Hero doesn’t get all the satisfaction. Not yet at least.
“Make me.”
Silence follows. Villain can’t bring themselves to smirk, at least not outwardly. Hero won’t soil their suit on them, not in the current state they’re in. They wouldn’t even lift their own bloodied sidekick out of the rubble of city hall. Hero likes to be well presented had been Sidekick’s desperate excuse for that betrayal. And their suit—
What? Don’t tell me their suit is dry clean only. Villain can almost believe it.
“When I order you to do something, you will do it.” Air cuts out of Villain’s windpipe, as if an iron vice has tightened. The suppression collar. The metal band squeezes harder into their throat, as the hand responsible traces lazy circles in Villain’s spotting vision. “I say jump, you jump. I say beg, you beg. I say look at me—I want to see those shoulders back, eyes on me. I’m the one calling the shots, Villain. Not you.”
“Taking lessons from Darth Vader?” Villain chokes out the moment the vice loosens.
Hero frowns. “I don’t have time for your Trekkie references.”
“Darth Vader is not—” The collar shrinks again. Villain has to let it go.
“If you want a reference, how’s this for size?” Hero leans forward, within spitting range. The impulse to land a glob of saliva on that dry clean only suit nearly overrides Villain’s better judgement. “Tea, Earl Grey, hot.”
“So you do know the difference,” Villain crows, their face only falling when they realise the next torture the hero has in mind for them.

You said you could rant about hero x villain for a long time and I'd love to see that
The biggest issue I have with the majority of hero x villain stories I have is that its all very bland with nothing to call it a plot. Especially with prompts, all of it just blends together with no originality to any of it. And even though the writers often use exclusively gender neutral terms and just call the characters [hero] and [villain] so that the reader can imagine them as whatever they want, its very clear that they were written by a white straight cisgender person with white straight cisgender characters in mind.
And when they do give genders to the characters, the woman is either; the hero, small and petite, skinny, strong headed and independent (until she meets the villain) OR the villain, tall and petite, skinny, strong headed, independent, and flirty. They always fall into either category one way or another I hate it so much. And the male is always big buff, tall, and either nerdy or flirty, same thing whether hes the hero or villain. I don't know if they're trying to win an award for most basic couple in fiction but they're sure on their way there.
Somehow just as bad theres the superpowers. And they're just as bad because its either the most basic superpower you would think of or its nonexistent like my attraction to men.
Take a shot everytime the villain isnt actually a bad guy but is actually doing bad things for a good cause or they refuse to genuinely harm people. Don't. You'll die. Villains in the hero/villain genre are the only villains that aren't actual villains despite that being the whole point of the story. They're just some regular person named Joe that for some reason is getting harassed by heroes body slamming them on the street because they wore a black cape or happened to be chilling out on a rooftop on a starry night.
The whole point of it thats its hero/villains but instead its just man and woman fist fighting for two seconds and then going on a date afterwards. Unless you're looking at hero/villain whump I doubt you can find anything thats above wattpad quality. And even with the whump I have some issues, more specifically sidekick whump.
As much as I love whump, yall are really overdoing it with hero whumper, sidekick whumpee and villain caretaker. The dynamic doesn't make all that much sense, first of all, seeing as the villain is supposed to be a VILLAIN (going back to my point of the villains never being villains) and the hero never having a clear reason to torture a kid other then to try and make them work harder, or punishing them for not doing a mission correctly or whatever. Let me sum up practically every villain caretaker story ever; hero absuses sidekick and hides it, sidekick gets captured by villain, they think they're going to get killed or tortured, the villain finds scars and goes :0 "how dare they" and swears to kill hero.
Step the game up at least, bring something new to the table for once. Treat the villains like villains. Instead of the villain feeling bad for the sidekick, how about they laugh at them instead? Tell them that they deserve of being such a shitty hero and mock them. If they're supposed to be a villain then make them act like one. Im tired of seeing it because its all the same. None of it is original anymore.

Psychological Whump
CW: If you were ever in a cult, this may trigger you
- Whumper making whumpee read the same paragraph over and over again until “it’s perfect.” (spoiler alert, it’s never perfect)
- Whumper forcing whumpee to sit in an uncomfortable chair under painfully-bright lights for hours on end. Bonus points if whumpee is photophobic.
- A nerdy whumper making whumpee finish 100 complex math problems in one go. If whumpee screws up the math or falls asleep, they get the cattle prod.
- Whumpee being forced to listen to the same song over and over again for weeks or months. Bonus points if it happens to be the whumpee’s favorite song. Extra bonus points if the whumpee is a musician who loves to play/sing the song. Extra e x t r a bonus points if whumpee is the artist who created the song. All the bonus points if the whumpee is the lead singer.
- Some good old-fashioned, Bible-thumping. (Example: “You think Christ’s sacrifice doesn’t apply to you? Get off of it, and grow up. He died for all of us and that includes you. You’d have him nailed to the stake again, you’re so arrogant. You’re spitting in his face by doing what you’ve been doing with this alternative lifestyle crap. SHAME ON YOU!”) it’s trauma O’clock, bitches
- Whumpee being confined in a white room for far longer than is healthy. (AKA: give them permanant brain damage from it)

One of these days I think I'll make an Android Whumpee. I absolutely love the linguistic aspects of Whump (in less nerdy terms, stuttering, speaking after not being allowed to, trauma making speech difficult) and I think adding a robotic component to that could be really fun. I just saw a post that reminded me of this. Maybe soon! 😅

Stuart
Stuart is a nerdy caretaker who never intended to take care of whumpee, it was a total accident. But it was definitely the best accident of their life because now they can help someone who would’ve otherwise been left to care for their injuries themself. Stuart was actually pretty lonely before whumpee came along so that’s unlikely friendship is working out great for both of them.

            Peter Maximoff was no stranger to rejection; girls rejected him countless times for countless reasons to the point where he was used to it. Contrary to popular belief, being 'let down gently' is much worse than any cold, hard, insulting reject. When girls would brush Peter off and insult him to his face or gag when he confessed his feelings to them, it was almost comforting. It shows Peter that those girls weren't meant for him because they were cruel and lacked compassion. When the girls in question let him down slowly it hurts more than anything else, because Peter sees just how loving and gentle they are-- he wishes their caring eyes and sympathetic tone would melt into a hostile sneer and cold slurs.
            This kind of rejection, though, it was worse than any insults or kind eyes could ever be. Why? Because he hadn't said a word. He hadn't confessed, but still, he knew. He could see it in your eyes, or rather, he couldn’t see it in your eyes. He could sit beside you and stare into your endless eyes and he wouldn’t find what he was looking for because it just wasn’t there. Peter could wish on every star in the galaxy and he could pray to every god ever thought of and he’d still come up dry. That hurt more than anything; having to face the fact that you just didn’t love him was almost impossible. It didn’t help that you were his best friend.
            When you found Peter lying on his bed sobbing uncontrollably, you consoled him. You held him. You were there for him, and you were caring and kind and understanding and that just made it worse. He almost spilled his guts right there-- the words hung on the tip of his tongue and somehow he caught them on his lips. He clamped his mouth down and hoped the taste of them would dissolve. You ran your fingers through his hair and let him cry into your shirt and he prayed silently that you were being so kind and comforting because you loved him. 
            Time passed, and Peter went from hoping that you would start loving him to hoping that he would stop loving you. He hated the butterflies that fluttered in his stomach around you. He despised the way his heart would skip and stutter whenever you rested your head on his shoulder. He mentally slapped himself whenever he misread a glance or a smile or a compliment. He simultaneously dreaded and loved the days you were together because it just hurt so bad but filled him with an irreplaceable sense of euphoria. 
            The only place that Peter could be completely himself was when he was alone in his room, the lights dim as he shut his eyes and imagined the feeling of your hands in his hair and the sweetness of your kiss and the pure bliss that would come from Peter’s head between your thighs. Those moments are bittersweet, because he knows that his right hand can never replicate your actual touch but there’s no other way he can get relief. He feels immense guilt afterwards every single time. He feels dirty and creepy and he convinces himself that he’d betrayed your trust in a way that could never be healed. 
            One night, the two of you got drunk-- really, really drunk. Neither of you were thinking straight and somehow you caught Peter’s lips on yours. The adrenaline sobered you up and you pulled away immediately, apologizing profusely as you almost begged him to forgive you. You made it abundantly clear that alcohol had numbed your senses and that it was your honest mistake. You pleaded for his forgiveness without knowing that you just gave Peter a taste of heaven. However, Peter isn’t a horrible disgusting person, so he forgave you and assured you that he wasn’t angry. He held onto the soft caress of your lips on his like a lifeline. Even when Peter was throwing up his guts outside the bar you were in, he still thought it was worth it. 
            When strange men showed up in Peter’s bedroom, he didn’t think much of it at first. It wasn’t until they told him they actually needed him that he cared. They wanted Peter to be a hero, and if you were gonna love anyone, it was gonna be a hero. So, Peter worked with them to release some rando from prison and when he came back home to you he reveled in your admiration. He loved being amazing for once in his life. And then Peter saved an entire mansion filled with people and he went from amazing to totally heroic. Unfortunately for Peter, while he was saving a bunch of strangers the one person he loved was stolen away from him. By some sick twist of fate, an ancient Egyptian god had discovered his one weakness and used it against him. Some motherfucker named Apocalypse decided he might as well steal away his father and the love of his life for shits and giggles. He saw how powerful Peter was and realized if he wanted world domination, he needed Quicksilver. Peter didn’t want to be a hero if it meant you got hurt because of it. 
            In a whirlwind of destruction and pain, Peter landed in the middle of an explosive battle looking up at the most powerful mutant he had ever seen in his entire life. Said mutant was standing beside his father, who held your limp body in his arms. Peter couldn’t tell if you were unconscious or dead, either way, it was bad. Apocalypse presented him with an easy choice: only one person had to die, either you or Erik. In that moment, Peter stood in the dirt. He wasn’t Quicksilver, he wasn’t an X-Man, he wasn’t a hero; he was just Peter Django Maximoff, your nerdy best friend who was totally and completely in love with you. And you didn’t love him.
            “Take me!” Peter cried. “Please! Let them go and take me instead!” Apocalypse smirked before extending his hand, pulling Peter to his feet like he was nothing more than a ragdoll. The Egyptian mutant woke you up with a jolt, and Erik held you firmly. Peter’s entire body ached, his brain vibrated in his skull as he knelt at Apocalypse’s feet, his lungs extending and his bones rattling until Peter was consumed in agony. Tears filled his eyes as he screamed in pain, his teammates seemingly too preoccupied to notice that he was quite literally being ripped apart. Then, it all stopped. Peter couldn’t move, but he wasn’t in pain anymore. He physically could not turn away from your sobbing body, his eyes locked in yours. It was only then that a spike was driven through your chest, blood pouring from your mouth and abdomen as the light drained from your eyes. He screamed, and searched your endless eyes for any sign of life, any glimpse of hope. It was almost as if he was searching for hours but he didn’t find what he was looking for because it just wasn’t there. Apocalypse’s voice echoed through his head, the gravely tone cutting through his body.
            “Now you’ll be able to say you loved her until the day you died.” Peter’s neck snapped with a gut-wrenching crack, and Peter Django Maximoff, the hero, the lover, the friend, was taken by the unrelenting clutches of death.

Let me write a thing for you okay
CAPTURE OR RESCUE?
(Pt 1 if you ask for more)
Cw: knife to throat, female whumpee, "creepy whumper" (capturer speaks calmly and guides the whumpee). Let me know if I need to add more.
Fun fact: Lory is aroace and has ADHD (like me!). I just wanted you to know that. This is my OC and I LOVE HER.
BEGIN
There was suddenly a knife at my throat. The flat side of the blade was pressed against my skin. It was smooth, and the coolness seeped into my skin. A stark contrast to the hot breath on the back of my neck.
He spoke quietly, each word a shaky whisper and sending hot, human air onto my neck.
"I'm don't want to hurt you, Lory. I promise," he said. "I just need you to cooperate. That's the only way I can help you. I just need you to cooperate."
He pressed his body against my backside, the heat of his skin starting to seep through my clothes and making me sweat.
"Did you hear me, Lory? We need to communicate or this isn't going to work this time."
My mouth was open a bit. My bottom lip quivered before I spoke.
"Yes."
"Okay, that's good. Did you miss anything?"
I fell silent.
"Lory, I just need you to do one thing for me right now. We'll just take this one step at a time, okay?"
I paused. My lip was shaking. It's not that I was scared. I should've been, maybe, after what I had just witnessed.
My tone was flat when I finally answered.
"Okay."
"Okay, so I need you to do one little thing for me right now. Can you do this one little thing for me?"
"Okay," I repeated.
"Okay, when I tell you to, I need you to slowly put your hands on your head. Only when I tell you to. So we're not doing that yet."
My arms hung limp at my sides, useless. He left them outside of his grip for some reason when he overtook me, slipping his other arm underneath them and holding me close to him.
My cool skin leeched the heat from his and formed a layer of mositure between us. When I say he was hot, I don't mean sexy.
My mouth, of it's own accord, said again: "Okay." It seemed to be the only word I was capable of, save for that one "Yes."
He took slowed, labored breaths for a few moments.
"Now, slowly put your hands on your head."
And I did as I was told.
-----------------------------
Oh I am so proud of myself for writing this!
Will continue upon request.
ASK TO BE TAGGED (sometimes I ask if I can tag because)

You have been hit with a Whump Ask! Pick five different whumpees and let us know what aspects of them are the whumpiest!
I've been hit! ;) ok here we go!
John Sheppard- stoic and snarky leader with a big heart. Protective, kind, smart. Had a bit of a traumatic past that we only briefly glimpsed on the show. Can't break a stick over his leg but can endure some Wraith torture like a champ.
Daniel Jackson- sassy, nerdy scholar who dies a lot. lol jk Kind, passionate, self sacrificing for his friends and complete strangers. But that's what makes him great.
Matt Murdock- snarky...(I'm sensing a pattern here), quiet and reserved with a lot going on underneath. Fiercely protective of his home and friends. Falls through doors, takes a huge amount of beatings and can still get up to carry a kid to safety. My hero.
Thor- big guy with a big heart who has been through a lot lately. I love him dearly. Loves his friends and people, silly, incredibly smart!, and self sacrificing. Not very good at disguises but has a mean backswing.
Nathan Drake- sweet, loves his wife, incredibly strong, always up for an adventure, will snark his captors to death. Falls off cliffs but keeps going.
Honorable mentions: Dean Winchester (no words, he just...exists and is beautiful), and Connor from Detroit Become Human. (Loves dogs and bleeds blue, what more could you ask for) ❤
