And Finally the Ones We Ripped Off, Judah Ben-Hur and Messala
dangermousie posed the question of who your drama boyfriend is. I don't know about doramas, but in actual tv shows there's only one character I could put up with for any long span of time.
I love Arthur and Dean and Robin from their respective shows, but each one of them would probably drive me insane over a long amount of time as they're all incredibly pushy humans. There's only one that I'd say "I'd love a guy like that" about and it's...
Richard Cypher.
1. He's good looking and I'm shallow. Not gonna lie, Richard is a pretty kid.
2. There's a level of innocence to him that you don't often see in heroic characters. He often seems startled with girls making advances on him and Kahlan is definitely the more sexually aggressive. He also likes to believe the good in people no matter what the situation would tell him.
3. He's a gentleman. He's unfailingly polite and just generally kind natured to everyone around him. It's rare to see him get angry about anything and when he does, he generally gets over it pretty quick.
4. He's good with kids. Not only has he actually birthed a baby, he's great at dealing with the younguns and kids seem to love him. (Seen here, birthing a baby)
5. He has no problem with a strong woman. Kahlan is the much more aggressive of the two of them and Richard has no problem with that. That's not to say he doesn't argue with her sometimes, but if he thinks she's right he lets her lead and backs her up. He also doesn't seem to be the slightest bit intimidated by the fact that Kahlan could probably hand his ass to him (she pulled a knife on him when they first met).
6. He's completely devoted to those he cares about. You never have to worry if he's going to risk his hide to save you, because he undoubtedly will.
7. He has a sense of humor. If the situation is ridiculous, he'll probably be laughing at it.
8. He's pretty smart. While his naivety sometimes makes him look a bit slow on the uptake, he's a quick study and rather a sponge for knowledge.
9. He's tough. The whole episode of "Denna" was "let's see how much punishment this kid can take" and he still came up swinging in the end (though he was realistically rather shattered after it was all over with).
10. He's an optimist. No matter how ugly things get, Richard is always the one willing to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
