Favorite characters and why? Just in general, they don't have to be from any specific fandom

(I literally love hearing people talk about their favorite characters like)

ALRIGHTY. Let's finally do this, I'm gonna start off with the shorter ones first. QUICK DISCLAIMER! THIS VERY MUCH JUST TURNS INTO A SCOUTPAULING RANT BY THE END OF THE POST-

For obvious Reasons Snotlout is first up on the list

I feel like you cover pretty much the basics on why I love him on your own blog! Especially thru the asks you get from me about him lmao so I'll be skipping him, I'll maybe go into it in a later post but for now I'm gonna focus on others

Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel! Honestly one of the most interesting on the list

I feel he should definitely be the main character of the show in its eventual release.

He's the only character that really asks questions about the whole plot and we even get comics and music videos surrounding his character

Back to the questions thing; all of the other characters have a pretty static mindset. Alastor is sure the Hotel is doomed to fail, Charlie is dead set on it being a success and Husker just doesn't wanna be there (We don't know too much about Nifty yet.) The only one who I feel doesn't fit into this is Vaggie who also seems to have pretty mixed feelings about everything

Angel seems like he's actually invested in the Hotel and the idea of being able to redeem himself, we see this in the Reprise after the end credits roll in Addict.

Despite this he feels weighed down by his ties with Valentino and the desire to keep his own reputation. He wants to he feel wanted and seen considering he never got that in the living world but doesn't know that this isn't a healthy way to go about it.

Aright. Here's probably the longest one? It's Scout from TF2!

When we first meet him he feels like thee regular old knucklehead jock stereotype. Similar to Snotlout.

Half of what I love about him mostly comes from his relationship with Spy, his father.

Considering Spy didn't get to raise Jeremy (Our boy Scout) and his 7 older brothers, the two grew apart to the point where Scout doesn't know Spy is his father until he's on his deathbed. (I cried too, don't worry.)

The two are constantly butting heads with each other, Scout because he just sees Spy as a pompous jerk who's tryna hold him down and Spy because Scout is extremely childish (It may be due to neglect, but Scout even lacks basic reading skills.)

Despite this, it's quite obvious that Spy still cares for his son and is mostly harsh on him because he wants to protect him.

To go onto the other half as to why this guy is literally the best. His simp-ass.

Seriously though. We get quite a lot about him from Expiration Date alone.

In the short, we find out that the Mercenaries are dying from tumors brought on by the side effects of the teleporter. (We find out at the end of the short that they aren't going to die, but that's unimportant)

So, the Mercs have only three days left to live and they all set out to accomplish their dying wish. Scout's is to be able to go on a date with Miss Pauling, the Administrator's assistant.

This is where we see his whole macho tough guy persona sort of crack with how he comes to Spy for help, while asking for his help he admits that while he may be good with girls Spy is great with Ladies, and I quote "The classy ones that kinda- smell good, n' can read n' always have their glasses on a lil' crooked. Y'know?.. Ones that- don't go for a guy like me."

He puts Pauling on this sort of pedestal and even admits to his worst enemy that he doesn't feel he is good enough for her.

He wants to be his best for her to the point where he - for once - sits and listens to someone with the intent of changing for the better in hopes that he'll be able to win her over.

He doesn't treat this like another cheap fling. He spends what he thought were the final hours of his life tirelessly working on himself for a woman he doesn't even know the first name of.

The final act of the short consists of Scout setting up a date for Miss Pauling and getting himself tidied up, though this is ruined when he finally calls Miss Pauling over with the briefcase alarm and finds that the two have to kill a giant mutated bread monster, that was the cause of the initial tumors' discovery.

In the height of this battle Miss Pauling and Scout bond quite a bit, fighting alongside each other and having each other's backs.

After Pauling had constructed a bomb to kill the mutant, they find they're cornered with the bomb about to detonate, and so Scout takes her hand and leads her to safety inside the creature's mouth where they are rescued after the blast kills it

It ends on a bittersweet note with the two agreeing to arrange something similar to a date where Scout helps Pauling with some of her jobs, only to find she has to kill whoever set off the briefcase alarm, and end scene! :D

Apologies I know this is ridiculously long for literally no reason
