The Fantastical and Felicitous Fictional Character Blog Tag

Hello, everyone!

Way back in May, Hamlette tagged me for The Fantastical and Felicitous Fictional Character Blog Tag, I thought that it was an awesome idea and was excited for it but over the summer, kind of forgot about it. Whoops. Any way, about a week ago Anna tagged me again and I remembered all of the fantastic ideas that I had come up with! Because of this, I will finally be filling this tag out. A huge thank you to both of those ladies for including me!

Spoilers for: Miss Potter (2006) and Harry Potter, so approach with caution.

The Fantastical and Felicitous Fictional Character Blog Tag:

RULES:

1. Answer every question honestly.

2. Use as many gifs and images as possible. (*cracks knuckles* Gifs are awesome, but not my forte, so please have patience with me. These gifs are going to have nothing to do with anything, besides the fact that I like them.)

3. Incorporate at least one YouTube video with a favorite scene of a character.

4. NO VAGUE ANSWERS ALLOWED. Explain why you chose that favorite character to fit that description. I love details, my friends.

5. If you can’t choose just one, that’s okay – give us a few answers and geek out if that’s what it takes.

6. Tag at least 3 people.

7. Use fictional characters from any fictional story.

8. If you get nominated and/or decide to participate in this tag, please put a link back to this original post in your post and credit Emily as the creator.

ANSWERS:

Goody-two-shoes: A character who was just so morally good:

I salute all characters who are morally good. They are the best!

Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird. He is one of my favorite characters of. all. time. because he is so wonderful! He stands for what is good and isn't swayed by prejudices.

Heartbreaker: A character who made you cry:

Norman Warne from Miss Potter (2006).

To be honest, I can't watch this movie without bawling my eyes out, and Norman is the reason why. He is just the sweetest man ever, then...

Here is a video of my favorite scene with him:

Isn't it so beautiful??

Parrot: A character who won’t stop talking:

This is me, just listening to what everyone is saying.

Peter Parker, aka Spider-man, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Peter is one of my fellow INFPs, so he is introverted, but whenever he puts his mask on he won't stop talking. Especially when he's fighting.

In Captain America: Civil War, Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, says to him, "I don't know if you've been in a fight before, but there's usually not this much talking."
Peter replies, "All right, sorry. My bad."

Devilish: Your favorite villain:

There are too many to choose from!! Since the rules say that I can choose a few if I can't decide, I'm going to do that.

Scar from The Lion King (1994). He has the most epic and chilling villain song in all of Disney history. 'Nuff said.

&

Rasputin from Anastasia (1997). This guy creeps me out like no other. He is scary and terrifying and yikes.

Love interest: A character who, if alive in reality, you would want to marry:

Me, except, you know, I'm a girl.
Elwood P. Dowd from Harvey (1950).

Everyone thinks that Elwood is crazy because he sees a giant rabbit whom he calls Harvey, but I think that Elwood is one of the sweetest characters ever! He is so kind to everyone, and I relate to him because people think that I'm crazy, too. Haha.

One of his famous quotes is:
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' -- she always called me Elwood -- 'In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. And you may quote me."

And, he is played by Jimmy Stewart who is my favorite actor of all time.

Sidekick: A character who was always loyal no matter what:

Much from the BBC's Robin Hood.

Much stays by Robin's side no matter what. They go to the Holy Land together and experience nightmarish things. On returning home and finding that Robin's manor is taken over and the people are being treated terribly, Much stays with Robin in his decision to become an outlaw. He was a free man and could have walked away, but he never did. Even when Robin is mean to him, he is always there and when Robin won't listen to him he goes and gets help.

I don't know why this gif is here, it just is.

Complicated: A character you love and hate:

This was the hardest question of all, guys. Every time I thought that I got it, I realized "never mind."

I was trying to not use anyone from one of the books or movies that I've already used and I was about to give up until I consulted my sisters.

Boromir from The Lord of the Rings.

Okay, so in the books I hated Boromir and just couldn't stand him, but in the movies I loved him so much and I cried at everything he said and did. So yeah, I'm rather conflicted.

Oddity: A character who was strange, but you loved them that way:

Yoda from Star Wars is like as strange as you can get, but we all love him.

He talks in a funny way, but he has great advice! The ultimate jedi master! And he's hilarious, too.

King/Queen: A male/female character whom you admire and aspire to emulate:

Obviously not this kind of king. Anyway, I'll have one for both. Heehee.

Also, MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven't read or seen the Harry Potter series, don't read this next bit!

King: Neville Longbottom from the Harry Potter series. Man, I love Neville so much. He starts out scared of everything and is bullied at Hogwarts.

And at the end of the book we see him standing up for what he thinks is right.

"It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to one's enemies but a great deal more to stand up to one's friends."

That's just the beginning. We see him gradually getting more confident. He helps so much in the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, even though he is scared, he does everything he can. Then there is the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He stayed at school and was fighting against Voldemort in his own way. He always believes in his friends, especially Harry, and when Harry comes back he is key to the success. When he believes Harry to be dead he still continues, carrying out the last order that Harry gave him and is so brave as he kills Nagini (this was not included in the movie nearly enough and made me upset).

His journey and growth is really inspiring to me.

Queen: Ella from Cinderella (2015).

"Have courage and be kind." 

Ella is so sweet and loving and caring even through all what is done to her. I want to be like her!

Savior: A character who oddly reminds you of Christ:

Aslan from The Chronicles of Narnia. Obvious, right?
