3W4D - Five Faves From Five Things
Stalking the feed for 3W4D, saw this.
1. Doctor Who - Ace
The character who made me watch the classic series, and fall deeply in love with it. "80s personified", not just in terms of culture, but also progressive politics (the seventh Doctor era was filled to the brim with new, young writers). She's more. The girl from a broken home who grows up. Her relationship with the Doctor is the best ever.
2. The Adventures of Sir Lancelot - Brian
It would be too easy to just choose Lancelot. Brian is a brave kitchen boy who wants to be a knight. And despite the prejudice he's forced to endure, still carries on (helped by Lancelot and Merlin). He's also adorable.
3. Anders als die Andern - Kurt
Again, it would be too easy to choose Paul. The sad thing is, a lot of Kurt's side of the story is lost. There's some wonder to him. He's already in love with Paul ("Young Kurt Sivers never misses
a concert by Paul Körner.", gee, I wonder why?), so him asking for violin lessons is him seeking for knowledge, not just about music, but about himself. I dunno man, I just think he's neat.
4. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - Cesare
Okay, choosing the milquetoast answer lol. If you ask anyone about Caligari (the film), they'll talk about the ~ german expressionist style ~ and "goth icon" Cesare, who's barely in the film. He haunts the shadows, doesn't he? And with how vague the plot is, you kinda have to puzzle who Cesare is, and everyone has a different interpretation. It's great.
5. Ich und die Kaiserin -André Robert Maxime aka the Marquis
Honestly, all the characters (and I'm speaking solely about characters) are fun. You could choose whoever. But this guy is so stupidly endearing and endearingly stupid. And prinzessin; he's so glittery and pretty and he would be some great arm-candy (can you tell I think he's husband material lol).
("Fandom", I'm the only person on it. But hey, I love this film, I'll take all the chances I can to talk about it.)
Three weeks for Dreamwidth: Name five characters from five different fandoms that you like.
