#favcharactere — Public Fediverse posts

I should have considered Ernie and Elmo from #SesameStreet for my #FavCharacterE. They were fucking pivotal to my childhood

@[email protected] For E we are coming back to Discworld with Granny (Esmeralda "Esme") Weatherwax. Among the foremost of the leaders the witches of the Ramtops don't have, she is a very powerful witch but she didn't have to be to be my favourite. In keeping with the Discworld theme that magic is best used sparingly Granny often gets her way with a mastery of headology that would make Nate Ford blush, and is in a constant struggle with the temptation to become a 'bad witch'.

A lot of her adventures feature a struggle against the flow of narrative and efforts to force people into shapes that fit a predetermined story (often specific stories that readers from Earth may know well). She also doesn't hold with worshipping gods or demons despite knowing full well that those beings are real as "it only encourages them".

A model of iron will and choosing for oneself who one will be, Granny also often enjoys riding the minds of the various animals of the Kingdom of Lancre—an activity that also plays into her themes as one must take care not to get lost in the animal or else be fit into its shape. During which she often puts out a sign reading "I Aten't Dead" so as not to scare anyone who stumbles upon her apparently lifeless body.

Granny Weatherwax. She's very cool and absolutely terrifying. And I didn't even talk about the coven she is part of or the young witches she mentors over her career.

I think I'm a bit choked up that there won't be any more stories about her or the rest of the Discworld. #FavCharacterAtoZ, #FavCharacterE

@ami_angelwings Ok, ok, let's do a fictional character.
I can, and recently did, recall some verses of Bilbo's song of Eärendil, the "flammifer of Westernesse".
So he got sick of losing and losing and took ship and crew and wife to Valinor, apologized for elvenkind and mankind, got the gods to finally do something (ok, "something" was "wreck Beleriand under the waves", but they also got rid of Morgoth) and for that he now sails the skies with a Silmaril.

#FavCharacterE is another easy one: the mononymously named Emile-A239. The fourth member of Halo Reach's Noble Team, Emile is the team's aggressive, taciturn assault specialist. Armed primarily with a shotgun, Emile is my favorite character in the game by far.

Enough that my Spartans in both versions of Halo Reach and Halo Infinite drew cues from his design.

If you're following along, i like close range, high damage, sturdy characters. Scrappers. Brawlers. Boxers. Fighters. Emile and his power armor and shotgun are all of that. The close quarters specialist in a game full of supersoldiers. He's my favorite parts of Halo in one design.

The shoulder mounted kukri knife, the asymmetrical black and red armor, and the skull carved into his helmet will always be cool to me. It helps that he is also voiced by the actor who played Marlo on The Wire; Emile sounds Black even if he never removes his helmet to confirm it.

The angry, cool, close range specialist Black male Spartan. It's like someone asked me to design a Halo character.

Halo Reach is one of those times when i find media that has a character that feels designed with my tastes in mind with no reservations or qualifiers. He's a hero. He lives like one, he dies like one. No grey morality. Just shooting aliens and saving humanity until you can't anymore.

I wouldn't have poured 400+ hours into Halo Reach without Emile pulling me in and my college friends keeping me there playing online multiplayer.

Among all the characters who die in Reach, Emile's death is the coolest too; impaled from behind by an energy sword, he nevertheless reaches behind him to pull the Elite to the ground and stab him to death before succumbing to his own injury. His last words?

"I'm ready! How 'bout you?"

#FavCharacterE for #FavCharacterAtoZ

E has been tough, but I'm going to say Lt Eve Dallas from the In Death books. She's a Good Cop, tough as nails, and a decent human despite her parents.

for #FavCharacterE I'm going with Elda from Edomae Elf because she os worshipped as a goddess but she is a hikikomori who just wants to quietly live in her shrine doing nerd shit because she is afraid people will make fun of her ears

which is relatable to me

except the ear part

@ami_angelwings

@ami_angelwings Elim Garak, from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

DS9's best example of a recurring character fleshed out better than many main characters on other shows. A man arguably forced into finding some decency, and dignity, within himself due to being exiled on a Bajoran/Federation space station. Will lie about anything and everything just for the practice.

(I've set myself a "one character per work" limit, but I'm using up Star Trek so quickly...)

@ami_angelwings My #FavCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterE is Ea-Nasir. May he long sell crappy copper to the unwary.

My #FavCharacterE is an easy choice: Emily Davis from Until Dawn, like hands down. A lot of people tend to not like her because she's very bitchy but that's why I love her. She's an absolute diva but doing it in such a cunty way that I can't even be mad, she's an icon for it and I am here to support women's wrongs (edit: #FavCharacterAtoZ because I forgot, whoops)

@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterE Estelle Costanza on Seinfeld. *shrieking* "Can't you do anything like a normal person???"

Already up to E for #FavCharacterAtoZ not gonna list my possibles cause I don't wanna post someone's choice by accident. First villain that's my fav, won't be my last. Eobard Thawne aka Reverse Flash or Professor Zoom across videogames, comics, and tv. A super speedster who goes out of his way to torment and torture Barry Allen. Definitely bad just for the sake of bad.

@ami_angelwings Granny (Esmeralda) Weatherwax, because she says things like this.

@ami_angelwings Continuing with my #FavCharacterAtoZ time travel theme, I am NOT going with Emmett Brown, but in fact, Erica Strange.

The woman in her 30s who gains the power to revisit past regrets in life and learns that we are more than the sum of our parts. Intense therapy.

@ami_angelwings Detective Ema Skye (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney) is a grumpy, sour, moody bitch. Unless! you ask her about her forensic gear. If you can give her a forensic test to do she'll light up like a supernova and tell you all about her new science device while she does the test – or maybe even teach you how to do it. Ema Skye lives for forensic science, and nothing brightens her day more than an unexplained splotch of smeared blood.

And I think that's hot.

#FavCharacterE

@ami_angelwings my #FavCharacterE is Emil from the Nier series, he's just such a tragic character but I don't think that tragic-ness DEFINES him so much as it informs him? He's just a lost boy thrust into a world that never cared for him, and he finds so much purpose surrounding himself with people that see him for who he is and there's a sincerity to that that's really powerful. Not to mention that he's queer character that has to reckon with an unrequited attraction that adds onto the fact that it feels like the world was never on his side, but even with nothing going his way he still fights and pushes on because he has his little family.

I dunno, I think that's beautiful

I was REALLY considering going off the board for my #FavCharacterE & saying Elizabeth Shelby from Star Trek: TNG's Best of Both Worlds even though she only showed up in 2 episodes (& technically never had a canonical first name until ST: Picard) & then Peter David turned her into his Gary Stu's waifu which sucked.

But I think I'll go with my planned pick even if it's chalk (the obvious/frontrunner choice, for those that don't know what "chalk" means).

Éowyn from The Lord of the Rings. She really only has that one big moment, but what a moment.

“But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.”
