Favorite Characters Picspam!
WARNING: This is impossibly long and image-heavy.
Alright, so when I set out to do this I came along with a gigantic list, so I narrowed it down as much as I could, but still, you’ll see. There are some movie characters on the mentions, but I decided to make the rest TV exclusive.
Also, I just want to say that this is my list. Not yours, so we may disagree, I’m okay with that, you should too. And it is by no means a definitive list; it’s just my (current) opinion.
I'm sorry for the amount of Btvs in this, it’s like half of the whole thing. The worse is I still think I forget characters that I love, but oh, well, it's not like their feelings will get hurt or something, so here it goes:
Honorable Mentions
Gil Grissom (CSI); Joker (The Dark Knight); Lestat (Interview with the Vampire); Spock (Star Trek: TOS); Sawyer (Lost); Dr. Horrible (Dr. Horrible’s sing-along blog); Amelie Poulan (Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulan); Chloe Sullivan (Smallville); Phoebe Buffay (Friends); Shrek (Shrek); The Beast (Beauty and the Beast); Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)
Special Mentions
Those guys were too special to get mingled with the others up there. Besides, they wouldn’t fit.
8. Tara Maclay
She’s just the sweetest girl. That’s all I need to say.
Tara: Well, I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's depressing.
Tara: Everyone, before we jump all over her, people do strange things when someone they love dies. When I lost my mother, I-I did some pretty dumb stuff, like lying to my family and staying out all night.
Anya: Buffy's boinking Spike.
Willow Rosenberg: Oh. Well, Tara-Tara's right. Grief can be powerful, and we shouldn't judge...
Tara: What, are you kidding? She's nuts.
Willow: Tell me a story.
Tara: Okay. Once upon a time, there was, um... a kitty. She was very little, and she was all alone, and nobody wanted her.
Willow: This is a very upsetting story.
7. Greg House
I think I identify with House too much for my own good. And I’m studying medicine, so think of the mess that could be. Lol, just kidding.
House: "People choose the paths that grant them the greatest rewards for the least amount of effort."
Foreman: "Isn't treating patients why we became doctors?"
House: "No, treating illnesses is why we became doctors. Treating patients is what makes most doctors miserable."
6. Spike
Classic bad boy crush.
Spike: I love you.
Buffy: Oh, my god.
Spike: Hey, no, look at me. I... love you. You're all I bloody think about. Dream about. You're in my gut... my throat... I'm drowning in you, Summers, I'm drowning in you.
Spike:"You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both. You'll fight, you'll shag and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains children, it's blood. Blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's biatch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."
Spike:"You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I'd prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker; I follow my blood, which doesn't always rush in the direction of my brain. So I've made a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years, only one thing I've ever been sure of. You. Look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I tell you that I love you, it's not because I want you, or 'cause I can't have you, it has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try... I've seen your strength, and your kindness, I've seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You are a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy."
Buffy: "I don't... I don't want to be the one."
Spike: " I don't want to be this good-looking and athletic. We all have crosses to bear."
5. Willow Rosenberg
Oh, the complexity of Willow.;)
Willow: [explaining why she wants to stay in Sunnydale when she has other choices available] The other night, y'know being captured and all, facing off with Faith... Things just - kinda got clear. I mean, you've been fighting evil here for three years and I've helped some. And now we're supposed to decide what we want to do with our lives. And I just realized that's what I want to do. Fight evil, help people. I mean, I-I think it's worth doing. And I don't think you do it because you have to. It's a good fight, Buffy, and I want in.
Willow Rosenberg: [as Dark Willow] Let me tell you something about "Willow". She's a loser, she always has been. People picked on Willow in junior high school, high school, up until college with her stupid mousy ways. And now... Willow's a junkie.
Buffy Summers: I can help you.
Willow Rosenberg: The only thing Willow was ever good for... the only thing I had going for me were the moments... just the moments, when Tara would look at me and I was wonderful. And that will never happen again!
4. Blair Waldorf
Because Blair Waldorf is fierce, bitches. Lol
Serena: I know that look. You're up to no good.
Blair: Good is subjective. If you don't believe me, you can look it up.
Blair: Whatever you're going through, I wanna be there for you.
Chuck: We've talked about this. You are not my girlfriend.
Blair: But I am me. And you are you. We're Chuck and Blair. Blair and Chuck. The worst thing you've ever done, the darkest thought you've ever had, I will stand by you through anything.
Chuck: And why would you do that.
Blair: Because I love you.
Chuck: Well, that's too bad.
Blair: Well, I'm aware I lack some people's ... easy grace with strangers. I don't exactly make you feel like you've known me forever even though we just met. When I laugh, you might not smile just at the coquettish sound of it, and I may not be spontaneous or delightful or full of surprises, and my hair not sparkle when it catches the light... everything worth knowing about me is in that folder. I made sure of it.
3. Sheldon Cooper
I’ll let the quotes explain.
Yes, well, I’m polymerized tree sap and you’re an inorganic adhesive, so whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off of me, returns to its original trajectory and adheres to you.
At this point I should inform you that I intend to form my own team and destroy the molecular bonds that bind your very matter together and reduce the resulting particular chaos to tears.
I don’t guess. As a scientist I reach conclusions based on observation and experimentation. Although, as I’m saying this, it occurs to me that you may have been employing a rhetorical device, rendering my response moot.
Mom smokes in the car. Jesus is okay with it, but we can't tell Dad.
I can't wear different pajamas. These are my Monday pajamas.
I wanted a griffin... I was studying recombinant DNA technology and I was confident I could create one, but my parents were unwilling to secure the necessary eagle eggs and lion semen. Of course my sister got swimming lessons when she wanted them.
This is trash talk. Trash talk is a traditional component in all sporting events. Kripke, your robot is inferior and it will be defeated by ours, because ours exceeds yours in both design and execution. Also, I'm given to understand that your mother is overweight.
2. Barney Stinson
Once again, with the quotes.
It will be legend-wait for it... and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is dairy!
Barney: Ted, tonight we're gonna go out. We're gonna meet some ladies, it's gonna be legendary. Phone-five!
Older Ted: I had no idea why I hung out with Barney.
Barney: You didn't phone-five, did you? I know when you don't phone-five Ted!
Barney: Ted, I am gonna teach you how to live.
[Ted stares at him]
Barney: Barney. We met at the urinal.
Ted: Oh, right.
Barney: Lesson one, lose the goatee. It doesn't go with your suit.
Ted: I don't have a suit.
Barney: Lesson two, get a suit. Suits are cool. Exibit A.
[motions to his own suit, then winks to a girl off camera]
Barney: [about what was wrong with Marshall's high-five] Marshall, I should feel tremors of psych-itude rock my body like a seizure. That was like a declawed, pregnant cat on a porch swing idly swatting at a fly on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Marshall: Wow, that was... *really* specific.
Barney Stinson: Discouraging pre-marital sex is against my religion.
Barney Stinson: [finishing his story about his ex-girlfriend Shannon] And then she told me about her life. Her and Greg dated for awhile, then split up. Here's the real kicker, Shannon's a mom. She has a little kid named Max. That's crazy. That could've been my kid. But, instead what do I have? My whole life's some money in the bank, some suits in my closet, and a string of one-night stands.
[begins to cry]
Lily Aldrin: Hey, come one. I mean, just because her life went one way, and yours went another doesn't make your life any worse.
Barney Stinson: My life rocks! Money, suits and sex. These are tears of joy! I could be cooped up in some tiny apartment, changing some brat's poopy diapers, but instead, I'm out in the world being awesome 24/7, 365!
[looks up]
Barney Stinson: You let me dodge a bullet, Big Guy. Plus here's the mini-cherry on top of the regular cherry, on top of the sundae of awesomeness that is my life. After Shannon and I talked, I nailed her!
And, drum rolls, my favorite character of all time:
1. Buffy Summers
She’s the one, she’s Buffy, she is the hero girls look up to and hope to be. If you watched and like the show, you know what I’m talking about.
Buffy: So here's the part where you make a choice. What if you could have that power, now? In every generation, one Slayer is born, because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule. They were powerful men. This woman is more powerful than all of them combined. So I say we change the rule. I say my power, should be *our* power. Tomorrow, Willow will use the essence of this scythe to change our destiny. From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power. Can stand up, will stand up. Slayers, every one of us. Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong?
THE END.
