How Delusional Are You About Your Favorite Character? 

starting to realize how many people would become like Harley Quinn if given the chance

"My pookie wookie dookie bear would never. I trust him with my life." He would. He has. He will do it again

if defending annoying kid characters that everyone in the fandom hates (and wants dead sometimes) was a crime id be sentenced to ABOUT 3 years in prison

My mother's blorbo is L from Death Note. She loves him so much that when he died she REFUSED to watch the next episode for 2 weeks because of how distraught she was. Then everytime Near came on screen she would just insult him 😂

I'm guilty of "They're a terrible person, but they're hot so it's okay"/"I can fix them" to at least a dozen characters at this point

Yeah, I had them only for three special episodes but I love them. They are old, depressed, full of anxiety, PTSD and can't sit properly and their best friend is literally the mom in the constellation.

Starting to realize i'm SO crazy for my blorbos that i'm overanalysing every single one of the comments in this video to see if they apply to any of them...

This channel has genuinely helped me see writing as more of a fun thing to do, instead of thinking “it has to be perfect” and how it will get monetized and such. It has helped me get back into writing and enjoy it much more. I just want to say thank you for that

“How delusional are you about your favorite character?” Yes.

I come to realize most people excusing some character bad behaviour because they are "misunderstood", "have trauma or tragic back story", or other reasons. I like my character evil to the bone. Just like jack horner. Sometimes a great evil character does not need any excuse for their action.

“HE LITERALLY KILLED HIS MOTHER AND PLAYED IN HER BLOOD??” yeah but he’s literally my silly lil guy??

y’all out here defending these male characters who are horrible and awful, where’s all the love for my freaking girlies???? i mean i will defend princess bubblegum with my dying breath

I’ve recently become obssesed with Sheldon Cooper and whenever I write or imagine him, I change like a bunch of his character. I’m just like “the writers didn’t know what they were doing, I could do better” and then I change a bunch of stuff.

listing rambo being in the army as a negative trait because you dont like war seems like someone who doesnt quite realize rambo would agree with you

Ooh boy. Marx from the Kirby series. I've convinced myself that he has a tragic backstory that explains why he decided to betray Kirby, but in reality, he did it because he was hungry. Although, I did tie hunger into the backstory, so i think i get bonus points for that.

My favorite character in Warriors is Cloudberry. No, not Goosefeather's mentor Cloudberry, I'm talking about the character who had about 3 pages worth of existence in Code of the Clans and then disappeared for the rest of the 90 book series. I have entire fanfictions revolving around her in particular. I have no idea why she's so fascinating to me.

99% of the fandom either hates their guts or doesn't care about them; but they are my fucking babies godammit! Like, the show gave up on developing them halfway through and resorted to using them for drama. But I am _obsessed_ with them and their relationships. Everyday I wake up and fantasize about them getting the development they deserve (and being madly in love with each other because the show would improve 90% if they were allowed to kiss). If canon won't do it, I'll do it MYSELF. I will singlehandedly fill their AO3 tags if I have to 😤

Less of a "Fandom hates the character" and more of a "Fandom hates that particular entry in the franchise", but I love this one off character so much. She's just a side character and doesn't really matter to anyone but there she goes. Just living your life stuck in an abandoned amusement park and trying to convince others to have fun in it too.

she has ten scenes total across fourteen novels (she only appears at the very end of three novels). she is 100% intended as comedic relief and nothing else. but listen. LISTEN. she is so sad and lonely and she has never been treated kindly except by people who don't know her. she has caused untold destruction and she is indirectly responsible for every terrible thing that happens in this series. she is literally just a transgirl in a maid dress

Whenever i imagine myself hugging my favorite characters, i get flustered and giggly, like a small anime girl kicking her feet on her bed

I re-wrote the ENTIRE Batman canon because of how dirty they did Jonathan Crane

This guy had like less than ten minutes of screentime and I didn't even like him back then. It was only after a few months that he came into mind, and has never left since then. He was the most emotional and gutsy character in the whole series yet recieved no attention from the fandom and had to be killed like a dog because he was too powerful.

Louie from Pikmin 2 is my absolute blorbo. Like, whenever my friends mention Pikmin, I *have* to mention him. He's hated by most of the fandom, and has done awful things, sure. However, he's easily my favourite character in the series due to how mysterious he is, and how his actions can be interpreted in so many ways. PLEASE watch ScaleTree's analysis on his character, it's great, and where my obsession began.

I have a word document where I simply vent when people mischaracterize Javert from Les Misérables just so that my friends don't have to read paragraph upon paragraph about how some french fictional cop is the personification of the effect the law as conceived and enforced by the state has on the humanity of people. He is my favorite fictional wretch and I am insane about him. The benefit of that is that no one can be as insane about Javert as Victor Hugo

Listen. LISTEN! *_Listen._* Spamton G Spamton may be a little meme of a personified spam ad and severely over seximan-ified by the internet and not the nicest person. But he is also incredibly well-designed. And profoundly tragic. And fascinatingly morally grey. And hilarious. And so flexible in interpretation and tone. And he deserves a better ending and nice things, as long as you give him a well-deserved beating to knock his ego over first. And he has not left my head in over two years. And I have drawn him over 200 times (I counted). And I wrote two essay-length posts explainng how to write his dialog and what his motivations are (and why he is totally redeemable). And I can't sleep without cuddling his plushie anymore. And I LOVE HIM- (Honorable shout out to all five new Pokemon rival kids from Scarlet/Violet, all of whom I would die for, as well as Dedf1sh from Splatoon who was nothing but a few still images and some loose background lore before I and everyone else got so attached to her that she is now going to be in the next story dlc.) Edit: 9:41 is this about Chara Dreemur?

I will defend Shadowsight with my life. I wholeheartedly believe he always has good intentions, he’s the sweetest thing ever, he’d never hurt anyone intentionally, and this is not delusion this is just canon. I literally have a shrine to this man in my room and begged the Warriors Instagram for a mini figurine of him until they actually made it

Link and Zelda are my precious children and I would die for them in a heartbeat 😔❤️

crowley is my #1 blorbo. he means so much to me. he's SO angsty and i wanna tuck him in and make them a cup of hot chocolate

My current favorite character? I draw lots of fanart of her, but in the actual media she’s from, she is only a voice. My fanart is pure speculation based on context and a grainy flashback photo.

Sometimes I will defend Marinette with my life but then there are just times when I'm like... girl... no. Zagtoon really did the characters of miraculous dirty and that is why I prefer fanfiction over the show. At least the Marinette I write and read would focus on making her a good (and still flawed) character. I've been saying this for ages but Zagtoon should just hire fanfiction writers seeing as they steal stuff from fics and comics all the time. 5:56 Tony Stark. I also refuse to believe he is dead. Ill be delusional forever.

I could write a whole essay about why my favorite character's actions weren't technically his own fault because he only did the things he did because his mother's abuse drove him to complete insanity but the only problem is no one else I know knows the comic

My fav isn’t actually all that pathetic, in canon he’s pretty capable and level headed (well, and a bit of a disaster but. Only a bit.)-but I can’t help making him just a sopping wet kitten of a man in fanfic. It just works too well.

I could talk about how I’ve said “Starscream has done thing wrong ever” despite him being a war criminal jet, but I’d instead like to point to the time I couldn’t accept a character’s death I kept saying he was going to come back from the dead. I did this for 4-5 seasons straight. Would you imagine my surprise when he did come back? Yeah he technically wasn’t back from the dead, but the fact he came back for an episode made me more excited than anything had ever done.

Kinger. 4 minutes of screen time in a 20minute pilot. My fic for him? Over 20k and growing. *rapidly.* there’s an ARG now. I think I might be insane

Just the other day, I realized that I may be a bit delusional about Lapis from Steven Universe. She isn’t a blorbo of mine or even my favorite Steven Universe character, but way back when, I saw a character who was abrasive and closed-off due to trauma just like me and gradually projected my own trauma-induced behaviors onto her. I didn’t realize I had deviated from canon until, a few days ago, someone commented on a oneshot I wrote saying, “I like how you characterized Lapis…” and listing off a bunch of improvements I made from canon. I was like, “What do you mean, how _I_ characterized- oh.”

Yes she kidnapped/killed the main characters bc they were essential for carrying out her masters agenda only leaving the powerful child to be consumed by the power within her, but she is also just like me and just wants to see her children (Double from Skullgirls)

i’ll defend kieran from the pokemon dlc with my life. he just needs therapy- and badly.

man, i thought i was stretching trying to define a morally gray character who killed his twin’s abusive mother in a premeditated car crash as a good person, but some of these….

I'm like that for Pink Diamond, I wanted to see more of her, and in a way I really liked her evolution, it's something that many people in Fandom don't see in her evolution, she even became a model for me on how to create a morally gray character!

She is >never shown in game >mentioned vaguely by two characters (one of which is not even important in of themselve) >Is basically my own oc at this point And I’m planning a multi-part fic with her as the one of the protagonists

my favourite character has 6 lines in the 27 year run of the show

For me, one of my favorite characters I completely ignore this one episode because it exposes my fav for being a manipulative liar and has plans for literally recreating World War II. I still imagine him as a sweet, normal guy (context I’m talking about Alan from The Amazing World of Gumball)

My favorite character did absolutely nothing wrong and I’ll say this until the end of the time. She just needs therapy to cope with her trauma and everyone unfortunately demonizes her! (I am delusional and coping.)

My favorite skrunkly may be a murderer who would rip me to shreds he ever saw me, but not in my eyes

"Drippy wet cat who caused the apocalypse" If this is not talking about jonathan sims I do not know what I am doing with my life.

Akechi is just and UwU soft boy. All he needed is a hug. Just ignore all the people he has killed

I will believe in wiki-Diona for all of my life. Before I played her hangout, I thought that she was very well and realistically put together with how she doesn’t blame her father for his drinking and treats him still as a slightly-tarnished role model. My expectations were broken when I played her hangout. it was so different from what I read from the wiki (and what I imagined from that). I still think wiki diona is better.

I refuse to have a favorite. Everyone is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will spend its entire life believing it is stupid.

There is no fanart of my favorite character that I could find. No fanfiction with him being even somehow relevant to the plot. He is the most charming and handsome and sexy and charismatic and kind and😭😭😭 I love him so much why there is no content of him yes he was shown only 3-4 times but still

I have an unhealthy obsession with Vanilla Ice from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Yes, the guy whose main acts are killing two main characters, kicking dogs, and being a massive simp. He only appears in 3 episodes. He also doesn't wear pants. I wish he was as deep and complex as I wish he was.

I'm that delusional I have spent a whole year convincing myself that he DIDN'T die in the last season. So much so, when the new season comes out, I will be like *surprised pikachu face* if he doesn't return. The star wars fandom hurts guys, especially the bad batch 😭😭

1:33 me and the Steven universe diamonds 💀 honestly this entire vid is me with blue diamond

I both think of my blorbo as a lil cutie patootie that I wanna pat on the head and give treats and carry in a handbag like a small dog, and the most angst ridden poor little meow meow you’ve ever seen

Okay, there's this main character, alright? She's an assassin, kills people in grotesque ways without a hint of remorse and is generally a bit of an asshole. But she's also soft and tiny and in desperate need of hugs. She has major mommy issues since her mother was abusive and dropped her off at an orphanage when she was a kid. After her (married) teacher started a sexual relationship with her when she was a teen and she was imprisoned for killing said teacher's husband, she had a pretty warped sense of relationships. Being mainly attracted to older women, not being able to understand why certain authority figures don't want to sleep with her, etc. And then. For one episode. We get this truly wonderful blessing of a woman strolling in. Our assassin is on a mission to kill somebody, a chain of events leads to her going to her target's house where she meets the housekeeper. And for just that one episode. She gets a taste of what pure, maternal affection feels like. This housekeeper treats her so kindly - she calls her a good girl for eating her plate of food, she doesn't shy away from the fact that she kills people, is just very understanding, cooks her all the food she wants. Her kindness prompts the assassin to kill the housekeeper's abusive husband for her, and when the job is done, the housekeeper cups her cheek and looks at her so tenderly and god, our poor baby girl looks so overwhelmed with emotion because she's not used to affection like this and ugh, then it's over and we don't see the housekeeper again😭 There's a little community in the fandom dedicating their life to this housekeeper tho because she's just so cute to our blorbo,,, Okay this was wayyy too long, i think lol, and i'm debating just deleting this rant but looking back it's kinda funny, so you know what, i'm just gonna hit post

Honestly, if I have a favorite character, I will stay as close to canon with them, because I like them for their canon personality. Mostly because I like deranged men with a partially sad but mostly non-existent backstory who ramble about their evil plans.

I like being the one to create fan content for characters that barely have any.

they were only in like 3-5 episodes and i only think they're interesting in half of them, yet i am delusionally obsessed and have many headcanons and aus about them

I’m the rare and fabled ‘ my favourite character isn’t unimportant but everyone acts like she is for seemingly no reason ‘ and okay wow rant time. - wings of fire, by the way !! if you read those books you gotta hear me out man okay Tau is literally one of my favourite examples of casual disability rep in any book I’ve read. She gets a decent amount of focus in book 12, a short pov in 14 and some more in 15 (THREE WHOLE BOOKS !!! her sopping wet cat bf only gets barely any attention in one book and a mention in another though,, how could they) but people always act like shes the worlds most forgettable character ??? And even if they do remember her, THEY FORGET SHES DISABLED ??? EVEN THOUGH ITS A HUGE PART OF HER CHARACTER ?????????? she’s such a genuinely kind character even in the face of hardship and oppression and stands up for what she knows is right. she’s clearly somewhat bitter that her deformed wing is keeping her from fighting (or even just that other people are SAYING that it will,) but she knows even if that didn’t stop her, seeing Treehopper on the battlefield would. literally a better ‘ forbidden ‘ relationship than the main characters in that arc that are in one, actually,, anyway since I’m the only tau fan in the entire fandom apparently. uh. go pay attention to her she is literally everything I aspire to be in life and is also just objectively the best character dont @ me TLDR: very

Blorbo: has little to no lore, little to no personality, sounds like someone I would hate irl and originally might of not even been in most of the game apart from 3 chapters Me: I will hyperfixate on this character for 5 years and plan to do so for the rest of time

I’m not really delusional with Luigi becuase my interpretation is very based on canon soooo

This has happened to me with my own blorbos. Like, I give some of my original characters simple backstories(the usual trauma), but others I make their backstories SO COMPLICATED that it's merely impossible to fully unravel it unless I somehow give you a google doc containing all of it. I do it for my blorbos

I gave him more trauma than all the villains combined (He’s a good guy and none of the characters even have backstories in canon) And he _is_ hot.

He sent countless innocent people to prison without any remorse, staged his own suicide and disappeared from the face of the Earth for a year (sending his best friend into a year-long depression) to question everything he's ever known, and practically told a woman with clear mental health issues that she's free to kill herself (but not now, since they're in a middle of a trial). Forgot to mention he tried sending the protag's (to-be) assistant to prison for murder and screws over literally every trial where the protag goes up against him. But he has a tragic backstory and is *trying* to be better. Boy, do I love Miles Edgeworth (mostly because he is the only thing between me and the rope hanging in the corner of my room)

For too long, my favorite character has been slandered and hated for being "too colorful". My brothers in Celestia and Luna, your favorite character has the entire visible light spectrum on her at all times. You have no ground to hate best bug-horse king. Let me ship him with best dragon lord princess in peace. Thorax + Ember forever!

Bokkun from Sonic X. No one was brave enough to go into detail about his deep rooted childhood trauma and neglect so I did.

Got strangely interested in Lyman from Garfield Like dude has appeared 20 times back in the 80s, disappeared, got basement’ed, something something cartoon (thanks for at least giving him a job lmao) But damn I love this idiot

I’ll go absolutely insane over characters that don’t have a canon backstory. It means I can be as creative as I want, as long as the series in question doesn’t reveal what’ll be the canon backstory. If not, I’ll make an AU. I have no boundaries to how far I’ll destroy them, as though they’re my own ocs. If all else fails? Make a canon-based character or kinsona.

1. Shows up during one of my least favorite parts of the story, acts mildly pleasant, dies offscreen during a timeskip and is never mentioned again 2. Has been in the franchise for 38 years, very rarely gets to do anything besides serving as transportation or a generic bad guy 3. Genuinely just a really cool character who gets a good amount of focus, she's literally just the best, I always cry when I get to the bit where it's just another character taking about how cool she is, I aspire to be like her in every way

Is it werid that my own OCs are my favorite characters? Like, they're seriously my comfort characters! One of them is exactly my flavor of autism! What's not to love?

Sooo does anyone else have a favourite character that the fandom either 50% despises or 50% loves? No in between?

Steenee appears in one season of The Pokemon Anime for a decent amount of time but I don't think she was in it enough to justify my obssession with her. Deadass have so much lore in my brain about different Steenees with different personalities and outfits, but I mainly just focus on 2 of them(I might eventually write or draw the others down idk)

at this point, in my head I AM dating my fictional character, every single time I try to address him in my head I always say "my boyfriend" guys help I think I'm going insane but I don't really mind

"I'm normal about this guy" *Scene with him comes on* " REEEE MY SILLY LIL GUY! He is here! Look at him being silly! look at this chaotic lil bean!"

When I write Jotaro and Giorno from JJBA, I give them complex personalities and relationships with other characters 💀

charon and norman from Honey I'm Home by ghost and pals is my current obsession and i will defend them with my life and dignity

My favorite fictional character ever is Grand Admiral Thrawn from Star Wars and every time I get to talk or write about him, I kind of loose track and suddenly I delievered an entire infodump. But he's such a fascinating character. He's an alien that serves the Galactic Empire, which is known for hating aliens. And despite that obvious challenge, he climbed the career ladder up to the highest possible rank of the entire Imperial military in record time. He's just so good at his job, that even a xenophobic system has to acknowledge it. And he is one of the greatest threats in the entire galaxy, despite not having the force. He lives in the same universe as Darth Vader, the Emperor and many other powerful beings that could kill him with the blink of an eye. And yet he's on the same threat level as they are, not because he has crazy powers, but because he's just that intelligent. He's a master strategists and tactician. He has plans for everything, is always a few steps ahead, he is a master at predicting the enemies moves. You can't outsmart him and when you think you have, he most likely already has you exactly where he wants you to be. He is a villain who's so good that you root for him. He's threatening, because he's so difficult to beat. He's amazing.

my ultimate blorbo is an NPC in a PVE shooter that has no dialogue and is a robot that looks like a nicely dressed traffic light with arms. i have written so much about him and specifically him alongside an oc of mine, and i do not intend on stopping. another blorbo of mine is a mass produced combat mobile suit! any gundam fans, feel free to take guesses.

GOD I've had this happen every now and then with: William (Who's Lila. My newest one), Baal and Nahobino (Shin Megami Tensei V), Spamton and Swatch (Deltarune), Phosphophyllite (Land of the lustrous), Ena (From....Ena...lol), and Hornet (Hollow Knight). I got a couple of other ones but these ones have/had me in a strong grip.

My favorite character died halfway into the first season …offscreen.

LMAO I FELT THIS. My favourite character is Monoma from BNHA and... I don't feel like elaborating. Everyone hates my beloved because he doesn't like the main cast and is very vocal about it (despite being far better than them, don't argue with me :3) Unlike ANOTHER loud blonde (who isn't actually that great but the fandom adores him-), Monoma actually cares deeply about his friends and is able to express himself in a healthy manner. No, I didn't get over his loss during the Sports Festival arc

11:15 if you made more material than the Canon, than it's no longer their OC, but yours. Congratulations, you made an Expy inspired by another character. (I have like 15 of my own expies.)

Second to last one I relate to on a spiritual level. Got emotionally attached to a character revealed in some promo material a full year before that game came out and headcanoned an entire personality, characterization, and details about their backstory, when all we had was a single image of them and a quote. And when the game came out and they weren't quite what I had built up in my mind... I just converted that headcanon version of that character into an OC who looks suspiciously similar with a suspiciously similar sounding name. 100% certified homegrown blorbo

Only dhmis fans know how hard it is to be obsessed with a character that had 10 minutes max of screentime, have no origin or backstory and that the creators refuse to acknowledge verbally (I'm the number one sketch and Colin defender 💪)

I do the precise opposite of this, it I can’t make my blorbo (a paladin skeleton slayer with strong convictions, half a soul, and a fucked up talking dog larger than jeep wrangler) have the most mundane interests and hobbies then I don’t WANT HIM

The characters I kinda simp for are is a bookworm (in the literal sense. A bright green with a red bowtie and glasses and so freaking adorable) and an insane scientist. A tragic character type that i can't get enough of. I've got a soft spot for these type of character

As someone seven layers deep in an mcyt fandom, trust me when I say that we are the peak of delusional turning unscripted gaming sessions into deep lore with devastating angst and character motivations 😊 but i love it here

Two of my favorite characters (Marin from the Legend of Zelda series and Kyoma Mononobe from Tokyo Afterschool Summoners) are both canonically dead (although the latter’s death status is currently up in the air,) but they’re both alive in my current WIP. A few of my other favorites (the Three Geniuses from Tokyo Afterschool Summoners,) have canonically murdered/been accessories to murder with little to no empathy/emotion, but in my fic (same one with Marin and Mononobe, actually!) they’re reformed heroes who are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet.

One time I was talking about fictional anime villains and the words "I know he committed genocide, but I love him anyway" came out of my mouth AND WERE OVERHEARD BY SOMEONE OUT OF CONTEXT. I think I'm never living that down. (The character in question was Shalnark from HxH.)

My blorbo is Dylan from The Quarry. I love him. He’s sarcastic, his coping mechanism is humor, he’s protective, he’s a nerd, he’s REALLY smart. He’s just perfect

In a x reader harem fic I’m writing, I usually took a sentence or two to describe a character, and when it came to a character i was simping for he got a full paragraph on how cool and hot he was(not exaggerating)😭😭

Both of my favourite characters don't even have names

There is almost ZERO characterization of my fave in the games/anime he's in, you barely get any interactions in the first four/two games he's in and in the one where he has plot relevance he's a brick wall. But if showed up as I was walking to work and said he needed my help I'd drop everything to help him. I'm talking about Ingo from Pokemon just so y'all know

My favorite character won't answer my texts in the game so I have to headcanon that he's actually answering but pretending that someone else is

while the most delusional I've been for a person was not even a fictional character (it was Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, that I said "if I was transmasc he'd be my transition goal", which for context, I am AMAB and Bigender, or "If I was straight he'd be my Bi awakening", which for context I'm AroAce) the most I've been delusional for a fictional one is that I say I love said character and I'd kill for them and I'd cuddle with them (platonically) and stuff, yet seeing said character be discriminated in fics due to being LGBT+ or neurodivergent, something about seeing said character be hated then getting some much deserved comfort after feels so good, I sometimes scroll through tags like "Autsitic Character" or "Trans Character" for context I'm autistic, Idk whether it's just me really loving angst and this kind of angst just hits more since I am neurodivergent and not cis, but yeah, if I have a neurodivergent or queer headcanon for a character, I'll most likely read stories featuring that kind of stuff. It's a weird guilty (?) pleasure.

My favourite character of all time is Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives and I could write a 3 hour long essay about how most stuff he is blamed for isn't even actually his fault

Me and my friends came up with a few rag-tag Ocs...needless to say I am the only one still obsessed with them---

For me it’s Kyle from she ra I have created a AU where he’s the main character who finds the sword with a whole different cast of princess and side character (except for horde characters)

personally i’m the exact opposite of “random silly character that person makes dark and angsty”. sam carpenter is so deep and angsty and internally conflicted but. like. let me think about that one part where she falls down the stairs. and make her the silliest, most awkward, stupid little wet cat ever.

I’ll defend princess bubblegum with my life man

I’d say mine is less a case of me being delusional and more a case of me thinking things through better than the writers did. Uma from the Descendants series did nothing wrong, and is in fact the true hero of the story. Literally all she is trying to do is free children who were sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes they weren’t even born to see committed. She also embodies the message of the series-that you don’t have to live life in the shadow of your parents-better than the protagonists. The other characters are constantly introducing themselves as “so-and-so’s kid,” and dressing like modernized and occasionally gender flipped versions of their famous parents. Uma dresses with her own unique style and color scheme. She has her own song about wanting the world to know HER name. She’s the best character in the series, and I will die on this hill.
