(1) “Is it just me, or does it feel wrong that the show has a racism element and the main romance is between two people on different ends of that racism element?”

(2) “It makes TOTAL sense to ask your love interest to kill you if you become a risk, instead of asking literally anyone else who isn’t as emotionally attached to you!”

(3) “Jack De Sena must’ve wanted to play Aang so bad since he agreed to play a different protagonist who is also goofy, wind-based, has cute pets, and is in love with a girl whose people have ties to the moon.”

Tis a niche of its own

Sorry there is only two female characters, I kinda pulled these off the top of my head and probably missed a ton of other candidates. Reblog with an addition if you have one!

Edit: I forgot to make this poll a week long! Once this poll ends I'll remake it with new additions depending on the results (the characters with the fewest results will be replaced with suggested characters from the notes so be sure to suggest some!) in the meantime tho plz reblog to increase sample size

This follows my own definition of what "Comic Relief" means: A character that is used as a conduit for comedy in a piece of media

Through character studies I have determined that there are 5 types of comic relief: the Character Relief, the Audience Relief, the Tone Shifter, the Butt of the Joke, and the Slapstick. Characters that identify as "Comic Relief" usually fall into one or more of these categories

Further explanation under the cut

The Character Relief refers to a character who actively makes jokes to be funny in-universe through conscious humor. Examples from this poll would be Sans and Rayla, who go out of their way to make their friends laugh

The Audience Relief refers to a character who makes the audience laugh regardless of their impact on the story. Examples from this poll would be Lapis and Gus, who are often involved in comedic bits meant for audience entertainment that aren't acknowledged by the narrative as anything unprecedented

The Tone Shifter refers to a character who makes jokes to relieve tension and shift the tone of a scene, either consciously or unconsciously. Examples from this poll would be Jay and Leo, as they both consciously make jokes about grim situations to help their friends or family feel better. Additionally, Jay would do this unconsciously before his trauma made him start doing it on purpose

The Butt of the Joke refers to a character who is made fun of by other characters in-universe, whether endearingly or not. Examples from this poll would be Dewey and Lance, who are often met with insults whenever they do something wrong or silly. The insults are usually meant to be endearing and comedic, but they can still feed into the character's possible inferiority complex. This also applies whenever a villain hits them with a sick burn*

The Slapstick refers to a character who is made fun of by the narrative and the audience like a punching bag. Examples from this poll would be Sokka and Yusuke, who are sometimes put in troubling and awkward situations as a gag for the audience's entertainment alone. These gags are not fun for the characters yet delightful to watch

Most comic relief characters can be characterized as multiples of these. For example, Jar-Jar from Star Wars is both Slapstick and Audience Relief, and even if you don't find his jokes funny that doesn't change the fact that they were written with your entertainment in mind

If you're curious how a "The Narrative's Favorite (derogatory)" character would fit into this chart, they're likely both a Butt of the Joke and a Slapstick character, making their life absolute hell. To be honest, MK from Monkie Kid is an example of a character who fits all 5 categories, but he isn't blue so he isn't in this poll

*Ok if you've ever seen Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel let me just say MODOK is a total Butt of the Joke and my favorite line in that special is when a TV announcer calls him a "Giant Chicken Egg with a Face" and I just had to mention that omg

#I wanted to put Aqua from Kingdom Hearts but she's technically not a comic relief character #I did initially put Phoenix Wright down but ultimately decided Lapis needed a shoutout #Phoenix is both Butt of the Joke and Slapstick. no wonder he's traumatized #polls #comic relief #character analysis #atla #atla sokka #ninjago #jay walker #voltron #vld lance #ducktales #dewey duck #sonic the hedgehog #the owl house #gus porter #undertale #sans undertale #the dragon prince #tdp rayla #persona 5 #yusuke kitagawa #rottmnt #rottmnt leo #steven universe #lapis lazuli #ok ko #ok ko let's be heroes #omg im out of tags

Round One - Aeromancy 2/4

Propaganda under the cut (beware of potential spoilers!!)

Callum:

callum is, i feel, the quintessential magical boy. and by that i mean he is a huge nerd and is super stoked about magic and then it absolutely destroys him. this boy fought like hell for magic; he literally had to go through a Character Development Coma so insane he broke the laws of the universe. he had to dig through all his trauma and defeat an Evil Kermit version of himself and uncover what, in its very essence, the sky primal means. not only is this an incredible and nearly unrecorded feat for a human, but for creatures born with knowledge of the primal (aka the arcanum) too, bc they don’t really have to think about it. my guy is absolutely out here doing THE MOST. he is literally the most dramatic dude about it too he had a magic free trial for a week and made it his entire personality. i admire him for this. he has indeed dedicated his life to it so he has every right. there was that time he nearly got himself struck with lightning on the chance it might level him up, that time he had enough faith in his magic that he jumped off the world’s tallest mountain (he had his reasons) with nothing but a prayer, and when he went through a real bad breakup and for 2 years became obsessed with magic as a coping mechanism, which is how you know he’s really got the hang of it. and all that is JUST his journey with the sky primal, but the others are propaganda for different elements. anyways i kinda like the guy

Aang:

The show is called Avatar: The Last AIRBENDER for a reason. Aang is quite clever with his airbending too! He’s such a good boy.

If you don’t find any of them attractive personally, no worries! Go with who you think has the objectively best design, or just who you’d like to see win!

Yes, there are some handsome gentlemen missing from the list 😔 unfortunately, Tumblr only allows twelve options per poll, so I had to go with the characters that seem to be the most popular in the fandom.

Reblogs are appreciated!
