#murphy tmfu

[leonardcohenofficial]

"the yukon affair" (2x14) is a mixed bag of an episode—mildly interesting plot meets period typical racism/cultural insensitivity, which happens a lot on tmfu—but i love the character of murphy so much; she's shown to be super smart (she's a mcgill grad!) and self-reliant, she's super proud of her people, her character is given a fair amount of nuance in regard to how she talks about navigating both the western and indigenous worlds and the struggles therein ("it's not easy to be part one thing and part another. no one treats you as if you're real"), her chemistry with illya is spot on (their flirting featuring the line "i've always adored blonde men" is so fun), and it's cute to see her give him and napoleon a kunik at the end of the episode before she heads back to school to get her master's (back at mcgill!). of the innocents we see throughout the series (especially when episodes are otherwise mid to bad) i think she's one of the stronger ones overall!

tagged by @pinkmanage to post 10 favorite characters from 10 different fandoms (like a week ago, i’m sorry, i have somehow slipped from this realm into the next, and it turns out the next is just my 7423rd skyrim playthrough. i too agonized over this.) 

lyra silvertongue, his dark materials. i read the golden compass very young--too young, probably--and lyra was the first girl character i ever encountered who was rude and messy and brash and not at all very girly. loved her, love her, will continue to love her for the rest of my life. 

arthur morgan, red dead redemption ii. is anyone surprised? i literally cannot articulate how profoundly affected i was by this stupid game and this stupid character. 

dorian pavus, dragon age: inquisition. VERY glib, unafraid to set people on fire, the only man with a mustache that i trust unreservedly. i romance him ever single time i have a male inquisitor. 

corvo attano, dishonored. this list is going to be... unfairly stacked in favor of dishonored, because dishonored is written into the core of my being, but like. corvo, though. interesting in both high and low chaos; eats rats; fucking HILARIOUS sense of humor (signing lady boyle’s book is hysterical, okay); likes swords and his murderous daughter; on a deeper note, i really love that the entire fate of dunwall turns on corvo’s willingness to be honorable, and i have howled about this concept at length before

billie lurk, dishonored. listen!! billie should have been the player character for dishonored 2 -- she’s got it all! a reason to go after delilah! an interesting motivation that isn’t just recycled from the first game! sick powers! i know a lot of folks didn’t like doto, but i really did and billie made me CRY 

gaby teller, the man from uncle. my deep & abiding desire to get strapped by alicia vikander aside, i adore gaby, and pretty much every tmfu fic i’ve ever written or thought of centers around gaby, because she’s just so interesting. 

daud, dishonored. not glib, not really a thief, but i love him so much. he’s terrible and dramatic and so upset that he’s having regrets over killing jessamine -- playing a low chaos daud is delightful, because he hates being a better person so much. also gains points for dreaming about corvo stabbing him to death, because, you know. same.  

murphy cooper, interstellar. i physically cannot talk about interstellar right now, due to The Fragility Of It All, but man i love it when anger and love save the world hand in hand. i really do. 

brynjolf, skyrim. this is absolutely because i’m in the middle of a playthrough right now, but bryn has been the hottest piece of ass in tamriel since 2011 and the fact that i cannot marry him is a crime. we love glib-tongued thieves.

guenivere/gwenivere, arthurian mythos; it ain’t matter what adaptation we’re in, i love that girl. she could get it. i maybe played the guenivere rp choice game 600 times attempting to bone arthur, lancelot AND morgana all in the same playthrough. it’s fine.

(honorable mentions to alistair theirin, the entire cast of hamilton, most animated dogs from 1992 - 2017, ALL disney princess animal companions, my horses in rdr2, and the entire da2 companion set, even though they’re all (with the exception of merill; don’t fuck with me on this) fairly terrible people)

do i even have ten mutuals any more? if you are a mutual and you know what my legal name is, consider yourself tagged.
