Batman

I fucking LOVE batman so much. He's my pookiefina. He's genuinely affected me personally in so many ways that it's embarassing. Superhero comics in general, but specifically Batman, is what gave me such a huge passion for art. I had never before saw art that appealed to me so specifically until I began to read Batman, specifically Zero Year. I had never before felt so inspired. One of my dreams since I was young was to be an artist, then I realized how badly Id love to be a comic book writer or artist, and I'm at the point in my life where I'm realizing I will never be a full-time artist, but God what I would give to write for Batman.

He's also genuinely such an inspiring character. I see a lot of myself in him; his symptoms of autism, OCD, and DID appeal to me so personally, and the way he's able to stay kind while keeping such a gritty and "scary" face is amazing. I love how much he cares for others and how giving he is. I also love his intelligence and the fact that he has no powers. The fact that he can be toe to toe with heroes like Wonder Woman and Superman and still be seen as their equal is so awesome. Plus, he has such an amazing rogues gallery that allows his character to be explored on such a genuinely deep level that it makes me want to explode. I LOVE YOU BATMAN!

Darth Maul

Oh my god... maul... The hours I've spent ranting about this man could genuinely be studied. I love him so fucking much.

Star Wars as a series holds a special place in my heart. I come from a family of frequent movie watchers, and Star Wars was always a staple in our rotation. Maul had always stuck with me. Duel of the Fates is genuinely one of the best fights in Star Wars history, and I'll die on this hill. He stands out so much in a sea of other characters, and even before I learned the deeper lore about him, he always was near and dear to me.

When I finally got to watching Clone Wars, that's when I knew he was The Blorbo Ever. The depth of his character makes my stomach hurt. His relationship with Obi Wan is so fun and absolutely maddening. I love how determined and insane Maul is LOL. He's just epic, from his design, to his story, everything. He resonates so much with me as a person, and I'll never shut up about him.

Michael Afton

Bro. I hate this guy /j. He makes my skin crawl with ecstasy. I've loved Michael ever since we as a fanbase came to realize he existed. What can I say, I have a thing for identifying with older brother characters with deep daddy issues.

But on a more serious note, Michael genuinely is such an awesome character. It's such a shame he was made by Scott Cawthon, because I think Scott hasn't done any favors for poor Mike (looking at you FNAF movie...), but I love him so dearly. I genuinely can't wrap my mind around how people think he's always been evil unless if they've been systematically brainwashed by the second FNAF Movie. He has done NOTHING WRONG!!! (except for causing the bite of '83 but that's besides the point) All he ever did was work a shitty job, try to help his baby sister, then die. Bro's the GOAT. He keeps going despite it all, despite literally turning into a zombie lookin' motherfucker, and he puts an end to his evil father's wrath.

The fact that Mike can't escape his father until he dies kills me, genuinely. The way that, from the beginning, the dead children thought he was his dad because he looks like him makes me want to explode. When analyzed correctly, he's such a good representation of the affects of abuse on an older sibling, and how that follows you forever.

Fern

AUUUGH FERN!!! collapses to my knees... I LOVE YOU FEEERN... Oh god. I love him. He means so much to me personally. Bro just wanted to have a place to belong. Imagine thinking you're being yourself and everyone just tells you that you're wrong. Bro's so strange and offputting and I love that. I relate to him so hard through my experience with DID. He captures feeling confused in your own skin so well, and how horrifying it is to experience that no matter how much you think you know who you are, people will keep correcting you or trying to shove you into a box.

He's just such a special character to me. He makes me feel things. End sentence.
