My Top 11 Male Characters
Hi! So this is the post :D Basically these are the 11 guys that just rock my socks. These are the guys I watch the shows and films for, regardless of plot / politics / homework.
Honourable mentions to: The Master (can't believe I forgot him), The Narrator and Tyler Durden (Fight Club), Neo (Matrix), Eric Northman (True Blood), Captain Jack Harkness (Dr Who/Torchwood), Castiel (Supernatural).
So let's start the countdown! As a teaser, here's the gorgeous #11...
#11: Rory
(Doctor Who)
Why this wonderful man? So many reasons. He seems so bland, so boring and tame compared to the Doctor. And I thought so too. But hear me out. Rory proved his awesomeness: he was prepared to follow Amy anywhere, die for her, kill for her. His morals are perfect (I personally fell for him when he decided to help that reptiley thing in that episode... yeah, I really cba to look up names and stuff!) and he'll wait for Amy no matter how long. He's just amazing. Feel free to let me know if I left anything out!
#10: Simon Campos
(Flashforward)
While the show was short-lived, this man's sex appeal was not. When we first meet Simon he's a charming jerk with a shady past. And he pretty much stays that way. He's got the bad boy attraction along with the smarts to blow up the world if he wanted to. There's this power about Simon that other characters are obviously aware of. But underneath there's just a scared kid mixed up in something way bigger than he ever expected. And he's just epic.
But most important of all LOOK HOW HOT HE IS IN THEHAT OMFG.
#9: Nathan
(Misfits)
First of all, if you haven't already seen Misfits - WATCH IT. No excuses. Just do.
Omg Nathan. Snarky, pathetic bad boy, disgusting, loyal, witty, Irish guy. Just wow. You gotta love him. Even if he annoys the hell outta you, you gotta love him.
Fave Moments:
Nathan: Me? I was done for eating pick 'n mix.
Simon: Maybe we're supposed to be superheroes. Or something.
Nathan: You lot? Superheroes? No offence, but in what fucked up world would that be allowed to happen?
Nathan: It's just pure, mindless vandalism!
Kelly: Why you sleeping with a crusty sock in your bed?
Nathan: Alright. Yes. That's my wank sock.
Kelly: Oh no! Use a tissue!
Nathan: That requires planning, man Who's that organised?
Kelly: But don't use a sock!
Nathan: Look, you've just knocked one out, right? You feel cheap, deflated. There's a pool of rapidly cooling spunk on your stomach. You look around for something to wipe it off an oh! What's this? It's a sock! Job done.
Nathan: She's got you thinking this is how you’re supposed to be. It's not. We're young. We’re supposed to drink too much. We're supposed to have bad attitudes and shag each other's brains out. We were designed to party. We owe it to ourselves to party hard. We owe it to each other. This is it. This is our time. So a few of us will overdose, or go mental. Charles Darwin said you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. That's what it's about - breaking eggs - by eggs, I mean, getting twatted on a cocktail of class As.If you could see yourselves... We had it all. We have fucked up bigger and better than any generation that came before us. We were so beautiful... We're screw-ups. I plan on staying a screw-up until my late twenties, or maybe even my early thirties. And I will shag my own mum before I let her.... or anyone else take that away from me!
#8: Topher Brink
(Dollhouse)
Ah Topher. Fan favourite, brilliantly acted, unendingly witty, absolute genius. First of all he comes of as an amoral kid playing with forces far beyond his control or care. But as the series develops he turns into a real person, a man with ethical dilemmas and still that gorgeous geeky charm. And of course, as he is a Joss Whedon character, he has an unbelievably angsty ending. If you didn't cry you're not human.
Plus i totally met him and yes he's that hot in real life omg.
And yes, I'm never going to stop bragging about that :D
Fave Moments:
Topher: You know what I like? Brown sauce! What's it made of? Science doesn't know...
Adelle: It's made of brown...
Topher: Yes! Brown, mined from the earth by the hard-scrable miners of North Brownderton!
Topher: I always had a crush on you. Even when I though you were a dude.
...
This is better...
Topher: I was just trying to help...
Topher: You get your chance, you slip out. In the real world you can write your ticket wherever you land.
Ivy: I really do want to help you!
Topher: Then live! You have a remarkable brain. I think it should stay in your head. Ivy, don't become me.
#7: Zod
(Smallville)
Oh this guy. As though it weren't enough that I have a thing for bad guys. No, they make him English and cast Callum Blue. omfg. Just yum. He has such power and prescence and I'm telling you - were I in that show I'd totally go dark side for him. Admittedly, I have only seen one half of S9 but I loved the morally grey angle they took with him. Sure, he's ruthless and immoral, but he has reasons. A sympathetic backstory.
Also look at that body. Just look. Cos wow.
Is it bad that I was most turned on when he cut off that guy's head? That's gotta be wrong, right...?
#6: Lt Dan]
(Forrest Gump)
How can anyone not love this guy? Vietnam soldier, trying desperately to live up to his warrior legacy. I love him shirtless in 'Nam, I love him depressed in a wheelchair, I love him yelling at the storm, I love his fury and his final acceptance of his life. I seriously watch Forrest Gump (one of my fave films) just to see this guy. And I'll watch his scenes at least twice. I may be slightly obsessed.
#5: Spike
(Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
I think it's physically incapable to not love this guy. Think about it. He's a bad boy, he's reformed, he's English, he's a toughened up wimp, he loves a good fight, and he writes poetry. Whatever the politics, he's just epic. I personally love him best evil but he's adorably (and still pretty bad) when he's good.
Plus, you know, hot car.
Fave Moments:
Spike: I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it!
Spike: I'll find her, wherever she is, tie her down, and torture her until she likes me again! Love's a funny thing...
Spike: What's this? Sittin' around watching the telly while there's evil still afoot? It's not very industrious of you. I say we go out there and kick a little demon ass! What, can't go without your Buffy, is that it? Let's find her! She is the chosen one, after all. Come on! Vampires! Grrr! Nasty! Let's annihilate them, for justice, and for... the safety of puppies... and Christmas, right? Let's fight that evil! Let's kill something! Oh, come on!
Spike: They have these little onion flower things...
#4: Marty McFly
(Back to the Future)
Ah, my first crush. At 5 years old I asked my mother how old Michael J Fox was. At that point he was 35. I worked out that this was a perfectly fine age gap and that I would marry him as soon as I turned 16.
Of course, Michael was already married to his wife Stacey (yes, I have his autobiography, don't judge me), but my mum was nice enough not to mention that.
Oh Marty. Cute as a button, skateboarding, guitar hero Marty. He needs no words. He's just amazing.
Although not too bright. As I watched it on MY BIRTHDAY I realised this. He's stuck in the past and his mum's in love with him instead of his dad. So, to fix this he has to violate his mother and then have his dad beat him up. Genius plan!!
LOL
But apart from this, he's intelligent, loyal, and... well.... he's goddam hot.
Fave Moments:
Marty: You made a time machine? Outta a DELOREAN?!
Marty: This is heavy.
Doc: Weight has nothing to do with it!
Marty: I am Darth Vadar. I am an extra-terrestrial from the planet Vulcan!!
Marty: I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
#3: Kyle Reese
(Terminator)
Oh this guy. Tortured soldier from the future who goes on a death mission to meet the woman of his dreams who just happens to live in the past. Best love story ever.
Oh wait, that's a different spam.
Anyway, this guy is just amazing. He's so hot, so passionate, so tortured, so loyal... Argh. I may have to sit in the corner to cool off now. Brb.
Fave Moments:
Kyle: Come with me if you wanna live.
Mini!Kyle: You point that thing at me, you better be ready to use it.
Kyle: John Connor gave me a picture of you once. I didn't know why at the time. It was very old - torn, faded. You were young like you are now. You seemed just a little sad. I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment. I memorized every line, every curve. I came across time for you Sarah. I love you; I always have.
Bum: did'ja juss see a reelay brigh' ligh'?
Oh wait, that last one wasn't Kyle. Hehe. It's such an awesome quote I couldn't help but put it in! My sis and I use it all the time :D
#2: The Doctor
(Doctor Who)
Oh my Doctor. This one was kinda inevitable. Hot guy in a time machine, genius, tortured edge, mad... There are so many reasons to love him. I can't list them all! I was totally in love with Ten. Just completely. But Eleven may have turned me to prefer him. With Ten you've got the crazy jumping around, that enigmatic power with a dark edge. But Eleven... He's an old guy in a young body, passionate yet silly and oh so adorable. Love em both. And of course there's Nine, though I wasn't that obsessed with him. Still, I know that whatever regeneration I will always love The Doctor. Especially if he's ginger.
OMG I FORGOT THE MASTER!!!!!!!!!! HOW COULD I FORGET THE MASTER!!!!!!!! HE SHOULD TOTALLY BE IN THIS SPAM!!!!!!!!
Ok. Cba now but I promise there will be another post dedicated solely to him. Promise.
Anyway...
Fave Moments:
Nine: Fantastic!!
Nine: Nice to meet you, Rose! Run for your life!
Jackie: I'm in my dressing gown.Nine: Yes, you are.Jackie: There's a strange man in my bedroom.Nine: Yes, there is.Jackie: Anything could happen.Nine: No. (walks away)
Nine : Do you know like we were sayin'? About the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standin' still. I can feel it. [takes Rose's hand] The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinnin' at 1,000 miles an hour and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're fallin' through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... That's who I am.
Ten: Allonsy!
Ten: Am I... ginger?Rose: No, you're just sort of... brown.Ten: Aw, I wanted to be ginger! I've never been ginger! And you, Rose Tyler! Fat lot of good you were! You gave up on me! Ooh, that's rude. Is that the sort of man I am now? Am I rude? Rude and not ginger.
Ten: I don't want to go...
Eleven: Bow ties are cool.
Eleven: Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically... run.
Eleven: You're Amelia!Amy: You're late.Eleven: Amelia Pond, you're the little girl!Amy: I'm Amelia and you're late.Eleven: What happened?Amy: Twelve years.Eleven: You hit me with a cricket bat!Amy: Twelve years!Eleven: Cricket bat!Amy: Twelve years, and four psychiatrists!Eleven: Four?Amy: I kept biting them.Eleven: Why?Amy: They said you weren't real.
Eleven: Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. I am definitely a madman with a box!
#1: Daniel "Oz" Osbourne
(Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Really, who else? It was close, what with the Doctor, but Oz won because... Well, basically he's my perfect guy! Let me sum it up for you...
- He plays the guitar.
- He PAINTS HIS NAILS!
- He doesn't fall for the popular girls' charms.
- He's a genius.
- He's possibly the coolest guy on the planet.
- But underneath that cool is a raging passion even he can't control.
- He cares for Willow more than anything.
- He's loyal.
- He's witty.
- He's bloody hot.
Also, he's basically a better, more 3 dimensional version of Marty McFly. So yeah. Perfect guy.
Fave Moments:
Oz: Who is that girl?
That bandmate guy: Oh she's a spanish exchange student.
Oz: No, not her. The eskimo.
Oz: Sometimes, when I'm sitting in class--you know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen--I think about kissing you. And, it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like...freezeframe. Willow kissage. (pauses) Oh, I'm not
gonna kiss you. Well, to the casual observer it would seem like you're trying to get your friend Xander back or evening the score or something. And that's kinda empty. See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you, you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.
Xander: Cool. What is it? How do you get it? Who doesn't have it, and who decides who doesn't have it? What is the essence of 'cool'?
Oz: Not sure.
Xander: I mean, you yourself, Oz, are considered more or less 'cool'. Why is that?
Oz: Am I?
Xander: Is it about the talking? You know, the-the way you tend to express yourself in short, non-committal phrases?
Oz: Could be.
Xander: I know! You're in a band. That's like a business class ticket to cool with complementary mojo after takeoff. I gotta learn an instrument. Is it hard to play guitar?
Oz: Not the way I play it.
Xander: Mind you, I'm playing the recorder in third grade and getting zero tail. So what do I have?
Oz: An exciting new obsession. Which I feel makes you very special.
Willow: I think we could be dead in two days and you're being ironic, detachment guy.Oz: Would it help you if I panic?Willow: Yes! It'd be swell. Panic is a thing people can share in times of crisis. And everything's really scary now, you know? And I don't know what's going to happen. A-a-and there's all sorts of things that you're supposed to get to do after high school, and I was really looking forward to doing them, and now we're probably just going to die, and I'd like to feel that maybe you would --[Oz kisses her.]Willow: What are you doing?Oz: Panicking.[Oz kisses Willow again, they fall onto Willow's bed.]
And now, for my absolute favourites...
Willow: It's in the sandblaster!
Oz: What's in the sandblaster, Will? It's a dream, come back to me.
Oz: (thinking) I am my thoughts. If they exist in her, Buffy contains all that is me and I cease to exist. (out loud) huh.
Yeah. Any guy quotes or references Descartes and I immediately fall for him. Happened with Kyle (South Park), happened with Oz. When we get to Descartes at uni I'm gonna fall in love with my entire lecture class. It's inevitable.
ANYWAY
Here mostly ends my Male Character Spam. It took me over 2 hours and hopefully it was worth it. I know some guys don't have moments, and that's not because I don't love them. It's cos I can't remember any and honestly can't be bothered to sift through the interenet to find some! Feel free to fill in the blanks!
Hope you liked :D
