One of the best genres in fiction is the noir-core convergent evolution collection of profoundly alcoholic, utterly dysfunctional, dangerously unstable, tormented, and wildly out-of-control chain-smoking renegade super-detective geniuses named Harry who cause ludicrous amounts of property damage in their obsessive and self-destructively-reckless fixation on Solving The Case and Getting Their Man, NO 👏 MATTER 👏 WHAT 👏 IT 👏 TAKES 👏
Irrevocably anguished in equal measures by the scumbags that he couldn't put away, the innocents that he couldn't save, the systems that failed him, and the dame that broke his soul, it's been 0 days since his last internal monologue, 1 day since his last fistfight, 2 days since his last sleep, 4 days since his last shave, 8 days since his last shower, 16 days since his overdue rent was due, and 32 days since his last bender.
COUNTERBALANCE WITH SAFE/SANE/CONSENSUAL SIDEKICKS TO TASTE
Shown here:
Lieutenant double-yefreitor Harrier "Harry" Du Bois, of the video game 'Disco Elysium'.
Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, wizard and private investigator, of the 'Dresden Files' series of novels.
Inspector Harold "Dirty Harry" Francis Callahan, of the 'Dirty Harry' film series.
Norwegian police officer Harry Hole, of the eponymous novel series and film adaptation.
(I discovered this guy exists only, like, an hour ago, but I'll be damned if he doesn't fit in perfectly right alongside the rest of these Loose-Cannon Lawmen)
"Dirty Harry" came along first, so I suspect he set the mould and the other three are in homage to some degree or another... 🤔

🌸 Five comfort characters, five tags🌸
As always, I can never answer this without thinking about the definition of comfort character. At least for today, I’m defining it as a character who when I run into him/her after an absence, I think to myself, “Ah! It’s you again.” And I mentally curl up against the character and get comfy, even if said character is sometimes awful/prickly/difficult/murderous. Also, not picking any opera characters, simply because the specific performance is so vital to the comfort level. I mean, is there anything less comforting than a singer fucking up a character you love?
Athos (The Musketeers, particularly the Tom Burke version)
Emma Woodhouse (Jane Austen)
Cesare Borgia (The Borgias)
Harry Hole (Jo Nesbo)
Damen and Laurent (Captive Prince series by CS Pacat. Yes, they count collectively as one.)
Tagging some of my newest mutuals! Feel free to skip this if it isn't your thing.

Man, Jo Nesbo's fatphobia is pungent. I decided to try out the Harry Hole series because I love mysteries, but he just cannot resist taking jabs at fat people, especially fat women, who apparently embarrass themselves by daring to exist.
What a shame. I had high hopes.

Killing Moon by Jo Nesbo - Book Review
A random purchase at an op shop got me back into this Norwegian crime series starring Harry Hole, the grizzled, hard-drinking, rule book-shredding, classic rock-loving detective with uncanny instincts for solving the most puzzling and heinous crimes.
