now real life has no appeal: relating to fictional characters

[enemeriad]

So this was a meme I saw a while ago and basically it's just about what fictional characters you feel you relate to and perhaps more importantly why you feel a connection to them. This was the most pretentious thing I've ever done but also really fun.


the women i admire, the women i aspire to be, and the women i understand.

{harry potter} - hermione granger.

• domineering
• defined by her intelligence to most people.
• loyal to a fault
• personal sacrifices are downplayed in the world she lives in.

{the vampire diaries} - caroline forbes

• underestimated all the time by her friends
• seen as selfish and 'neurotic'.
• feels personally accountable for situations out of her control. 
• is sometimes irrational and melodrammatic but she's working on it, i guess?

{pretty little liars} - hanna marin

• is clueless to people's feelings
• often insensitive
• sometimes she says some stupid/illogical/ridic things
• is really close to her mum even though her mum's kind of cray-cray

{teen wolf} - lydia martin

• thinks popularity hinges on her ability to play dumb/pretty
• (wishes she was a redhead) bc that counts okay
• is actually really fucked up to be honest like in terms of the everyone leaving her out of stuff

{pretty little liars} - spencer hastings.

• has a habit of acting superior to others 
• is frankly awful regarding her choice in men (i.e her sisters fiance!?) 
• loyal
• is not simply the 'good smart one' and often breaks the rules to achieve her own ends

{gossip girl} - blair waldorf

• gives up on her 'dreams' easily
• desperately acts mature even though she's still extremely childish
• makes terrible life choices even though she knows better
• is awful to her friends to be honest when she's hurt.

{greys anatomy} - izzie stevens

• breaks rules even though she knows better and even though she's supposed to do the opposite
• can sometimes be really bitchy unknowingly or accidentally 
• feels really guilty and personally affected by other people's emotions
• on the otherhand, makes decisions based on her emotions that adversely affect other people

{game of thrones} - ygritte 

• acts like she's a lot more self-confidant than she is
• doesn't have patience for people that are indecisive
• i love her because of her swagger and sass which i don't have but still.
• is just a feisty, middle ages feminist!bamf and i aspire to be her so that counts

{the hour} - bel rowley

• doesn't take bullshit from the men in her life under any circumstances
• is more capable and driven than she gives herself credit.
• is a female character whose plot doesn't centre around her bloody love interest
• has a really fascinating relationship with her freddie/her best friend 

{community} - annie edison

• expects everyone to be better than they are and holds herself to even higher standards
• doesn't accept failure and is terrified of it.
• is extremely sentimental
• is really resilient
• can't hold grudges for anything
• she tries to move on but holds onto past experiences (especially romantically.)
• wants people to see her how she is currently and now how she was.
• she's moral when it suits her.
• also: she's good at debating so

{once upon a time} - mary margaret blanchard

• really protective of her friends
• romantically is pretty naive
• never helpless
• fiercely independent
• she's also constantly positive despite her obstacles which is not so much something about me but something i admire.
