let’s talk about some characters I like because i just want to write a simple piece today. More specifically, i’m going to talk about the male characters in fiction i enjoy because if i talked about girls this would be too long of an entry to complete before midnight. alright, let’s go!
Oh Beomseok (Weak Hero)
thank you and go to hell tokkipul for introducing me to this show and the absolute final destination ass rollercoaster ride that beomseok brings the viewer on. I always had a bad feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong with him but by episode 3 i had lost that feeling only to get whacked in the face with the karaoke scene. i’ll make a whole post dedicated to beomseok one of these days because he’s legit currently my favorite character from any piece of media and i think we should all kill his dad. no ok by side tangent i fully understand why whc1 viewers could hate his ass like i'm never surprised when someone says ‘i hate beomseok’ because trust me bro i also wanna slap him but the thing is like the urge and want to slap him is quite literally the only thing he’s ever known. like all the people in his life that are supposed to show him love and protect him only show him pain and hurt so obviously this 16 year old is going to be mentally messed up. How can you watch the scene where his dad makes him do a whole embarrassment ritual of stripping down to his boxers, kneeling on the ground, and getting hit with a golf club and then be like Wow this guy should have just communicated better. Brother who on earth was going to teach that boy to communicate in any other language other than violence. Anyways…. Beomseok you literally make me want to kill myself. U the goat though. But also you’re not because you have created a terrible name for glasses wearing cowardly, easily-attached and jealous people everywhere. Guyss i swearrr im not going to kick you inrto a coma thats not alll of us
Wylan van Eck (Six of Crows)
when middle school me realized gay people are real and chill af. No im kidding but i did grab onto wylan because out of the whole gang in SoC he was the outcast who was kind of out of his depth and everyone doubted in the start and didnt think belonged but then everyone realized wow wait ur actually kind of a little shit once you have enough courage to talk and i thought that was really funny. You will notice a running trend of me liking the nerdy/underdog/cowardly male characters who actually have some spunk to them just not in a physical strength way.
Dipper Pines (Gravity Falls)
lowkey i think i good way to describe me as a person is just both of the pines twins as one person which is why dipper is obviously on this list (and mabel as one of my fav characters too but that's for another entry). I very deeply enjoy his geekiness and i too get way to involved in things i like where i then would prefer to stay in my room and focus on that all summer. He actually is much braver than me because me personally if my grunkle told me ‘go put these signs in the spooky forest’ id say no way old man #imout because what the hell dawg im 12 and you’re 842 or something like that; YOU do it. Also dipper pines just goes hard as hell as a name as does his real name (mason)
Quick honorable mentions: chidi anagonye, ben wyatt (the goat), all 4 boys in the heroes of olympus main cast (i wrote a whole essay on Frank in middle school actually), adam parrish (just remembered he existed actually. I should re-read the raven cycle maybe), Laois from dungeon meshi, and some others im forgetting IDK
Final character i’ll write about: Carter Kane (The Kane Chronicles)
Okay im gonna be so real with you and say that ive kind of created a fanon version of carter in my head in which he wasn't as focused on finding Zia as he actually was in the books and actually had more weight in helping the mission because re-reading the series a few years ago i realized Sadie had to do a lot of heavy carrying even though in book 1 he was painted as a more serious and ‘dedicated to the mission’ kind of character. He also, like everyone else on this list, falls into the ‘really into the stuff he’s into and also is awkward and not physically strong but still very dedicated’ so yeah i think i have a theme here. Shoutout carter kane. Your name also goes hard as hell like dippers
