I was just wondering, who are your character yonderland characters and (possible) friendships?

Is it cheating if I say all of them? 😂

Seriously though, one of my favourite things about Yonderland is that this show somehow manages to make you care about every single character in it. Doesn't matter if they're a main character or an Evil Overlord who walks into a bathroom, looks around and leaves without saying a word and is never seen again - you will end up loving them and wanting to see more of them.

I will try to narrow it down to one minor character for each of the Six Idiots since we all know I adore Debbie, the Elders and the Evil Overlords.

Wizard Bradley and his Mojo I really, really love the idea of taking the phrase "losing one's mojo" literally. I remember thinking, "That's genius!" when I watched Yonderland for the first time and in that moment I knew I would love this show. Wizard Bradley and his Mojo are probably my most favourite minor characters in it. They go through so many ups and downs in their episode and I just love their journey and friendship so much.

Mat's Page This character owns my heart and I blame Mat's puppy dog eyes for that. I really like the bits of lore we get on knights and pages in his episode and how he dares to defy the system and becomes a hero in the end (with a little help from Debbie).

Simon the puppet I nearly spat out my drink the first time I saw the scene where it looks like Simon's a ventriloquist except then you realise he's actually the puppet and the puppet is the ventriloquist. Like, my mind was blown. Simon does the 'cut strings' moment so well and this character of his brings me pure joy every time I see him.

Tuneantula Look, I know everyone loves the Crone and she's great but the Tuneantula for me is Jim's greatest minor Yonderland character. The concept and costume for one are incredible and I love the singing! His voice sounds incredible in Elvis mode and the whole scene just makes me grin every time.

Cake Bake Lady Sue I just love her, okay? The way Ben says the line, "I'm gonna fix bayonets," never fails to make me laugh and the character design is hilarious. I mean, what is even going on with her chest? Lol. I bet he, Jim and Larry had a lot of fun with their costume fitting for those roles.

Rita I know she's a main character but since Martha doesn't play many roles besides Debbie I'll go with Rita for her because I love the demons and Rita is smart, has a great voice and her not so subtle crush on Negatus is a great running gag.

Honourary mentions: Boo, Anous, Ellis of Woolworth, Chamberlain, the Crone, the Oracle, Ninny Dave and the Bird and the Bee.

My favourite friendships include Debbie & Elf, the Elders, the Elders' Youngers, Wizard Bradley and his Mojo, the Kissing Cousins, Monk, Monk, Monk & Monk, the Gallants, the demons and of course, Dissectus and Voltari.

In terms of possible friendships, well... I don't really want to self-promote my fics here but I have grown very fond of Billy and Charles (Mat's Page and Larry's Chamberlain) while writing Ready. Figuring out their dynamic was really fun and I love the relationship I built between them. In the sequel to that fic, I've also started to explore the idea of a friendship between Ellis of Woolworth and Charles the Chamberlain. It's not the focus of the story but I am hinting at a bit of backstory between them which I hope to explore in another fic one day. And of course this list wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention Ho-Tan and Voltari. Those two are always such a joy to write and I'm happy to say we'll see a bit more of them in next week's Whump Wednesday installment.
