So, Iām curious about something. I was wondering who everyoneās favorite TMP character is? So I made a strawpoll:
I also created another one asking what character you think deserves more love:
Iām super curious to see who ends up being the top characters for each!
Umm, I want to know why āBrendonā isnāt a choice?
Seconded!
Canāt wait to see these results.
Iāve probably (probably?!) put too much thought into this, but when I saw @CJB reply I was reminded this was the out of character thread and my first gut reaction was āOh, out of character. i should go change my answer.ā
Upon reflection why I had that odd reaction. I think of some of these people very differently whether itās from the perspective of characters in a story Iām just watching, or pretend characters in the world Iām a part of.
Am I oddly alone in that? There are characters I cannot stand when I consider them as real people wandering this world. But if I were an objective viewer on the outside (like a reader of a story) Iād love to know more about and see stories about them.
Just my two cents anyway. It got me thinking.
A character is, at least to me, supposed to try to reflect as much as real life a as possible. Your reaction made Brendonās response even more funny.
In character or not, I will always love Endri.
Yeah, I feel that way too, honestly, especially with the antagonists. Like, I would never want to meet someone like Teddy or King Rabbit in real life, but as fictional characters I find them fascinating. I want to know more about their histories and why they are the way they are.
Itās kind of the reverse too in some instances. Like in-character Iām far more interested in Lauren than Cags, but out of character I find both interesting.
For me Endriās a great example of that reverse you mention. In character, when interacting with her on the forums I love Endri. I picture a little smile on her face when we call her āCaptainā. āLike the great Captain Janewayā, as she once said. I cheer for her when she solves a technical problem without Bashās help. Things like that.
In terms of a character in this story if I were reading it? I canāt say Endri would be anywhere near the top of interesting characters Iād want to read about though.
I think itās just the difference between playing a role playing game and pretending youāre in the world, and just reading a story about these characters. Thereās a whole other level of appreciation (or detest) when you feel a personal interaction to the character.
YO! Thats so cool!
So Iām working on a craft thing and wanted some more opinions. Which one looks more Balimoran to you?
Those Godās Eyes both look incredibly Balimoran.
Both are wonderful. I have a preference for the first myself.i
Iām with Robert, both are great, and I like #1.
Why didnāt I know this thread existed?
Wait really?
Like both. I realise thatās no help for decision making.
