@goofygooberton tagged me in a thing where I was supposed to list five of my comfort characters and then tag five other people like two months ago, but I was on vacation at the time and the post ended up unfinished and lost in my drafts.

So I am doing it now, here it goes, Tumblr user togrutahhh's five comfort characters (aka a collection of cunning bastards who seem composed on the surface but are secretly Fucked Up but are also kind to children and poor people):

Hina Kudo from Mr. Sunshine aka my pfp: Hina Kudo is actually Korean, but she has a Japanese name because she's the mysterious widow of a rich Japanese man twice her age. She used his inheritance to open up a fancy hotel in Seoul and uses the money and influence gained through that alongside her intelligence and cunning to get what she wants, and what she wants is Mysterious unless you've seen the show to the end. Does she work for the Japanese? For the Koreans? For the Americans? For herself? Nobody knows and everyone hates her for it. She is a Bad Bitch, always cool, poised, and playfully seductive, but she also has a back full of hideous scars and is a proficient swordswoman, hinting at a less genteel past. She seems haughty, but is also wonderfully compassionate towards lower class people and viciously defends her staff from unwanted sexual advances. The men she wants never pick her because they think she's fake and manipulative. (Fun fact: this actress and her mannerisms in this particular role is how I headcanon Alys Vorpatril to look like, with Henry Golding as Ivan)

Grand Admiral Thrawn from Star Wars: I love the Chaotic Strategic Mastermind Who Inspires Loyalty In His Men archetype, but what I love about Thrawn is that, unlike the more overtly theatrical and extroverted specimens like Miles Vorkosigan or Eugenides or Inda Algara-Vayir, he is also very introverted and autistic and seems incapable of connecting to people outside of the structured military environment he's in, which adds an additional twist and makes him deliciously interpersonally vulnerable to me. In the right hands he's also an excellent treatise of when doing evil for the greater good is justified and when it's not, and a cool exploration of someone just abandoning his humanity and his personal needs in order to always do the Rational Thing. Reading Zahn's new canon books about him often feels like watching your kind, hypercompetent, slightly awkward boyfriend who's great with children make the worst possible choices and fail you again and again and again. I also like thinking about him in terms of... information processing? Like no matter how logical you are, your conclusions are only as good as your info and what info you take into consideration will be determined by your own prejudices and assumptions and social position. Honorable mention to his boyfriend aide Eli Vanto and also everyone in the Ascendancy Trilogy - I could make a top ten comfort characters list out of them alone.

Laurent of Vere from Captive Prince: NEW BLORBO!! <3 Another Strategic Mastermind Who Inspires Loyalty in His Men + Interpersonal Vulnerability combo, but this time extra bitchy and needlessly vicious and also in a piece of media that explores his interpersonal baggage with great nuance and respect. He is severely traumatized but the narrative never takes away his agency and always portrays his boundaries as really important and I wrote a whole ass essay about how lovely that is that you can look up on my blog if you want. He comes off as stone cold but seems to have an innate desire to be sweet and submissive that he's too scared to let out. He also has a delightfully intricate mind that manifests in a myriad of plot twists and schemes - those books are literally more filled with unexpected plot twists than the Queen's Thief books, and that's an accomplishment to say the least. Every time you think you've got him pegged down he reveals new layers to his thinking and personality and it's such a delight, but you also see how that same intricate mind stymies him and makes him awkward when he tries to open up to someone (and what's extra charming is that you can see that he's trying so damned hard in places).

Lisbeth Salander from The Millennium Trilogy: The ultimate Bad Bitch. She's punk. She's a genius with a photographic memory but is so distrustful and anti-social and scarred by her severely traumatic upbringing that she pretends to be mentally handicapped so that people would leave her alone. She kills her rapist. She sets her abusive father on fire as a preteen. He comes for her as an adult to get revenge and buries her alive and she digs herself out Kill Bill-style, and whenever I feel in an impossible situation I think of the description of how she feels her fingers being scraped to a pulp as she digs but refuses to give up and that inspires me. She falls in love with an upper middle class leftist journalist twice her age who is poly, which she isn't stable enough psychologically to deal with, so she ghosts him and then spends a lot of time dwelling on how isolated from Normal Society she feels and how it always feels like she's a shitty stray out in the cold and rain watching happy people sit together in warm houses through the window.

Joe Macmillan from Halt and Catch Fire: He's a Don Draper-esque slick salesman kind of charismatic guy, except you can immediately tell that it's a facade and his charismatic shtick often comes off as fake, plastic, over the top or even kinda pathetic. He does the Joker thing where he makes up a different story about how he got his scars based on what will best get him what he wants. He's the best bisexual rep I've ever seen and while his queerness is not a central plot point in the show, he gets an entire subplot about being a queer man during the 1980s AIDS crisis and how this impacts his career as an antivirus software "developer", and we also get hints about how having to perform manhood as a teen is what set the stage for his fake-ass melodramatic bargain bin Patrick Bateman personality. He eventually matures and learns that manipulating people can lead to some really nasty consequences and becomes a more genuine and grounded person. He still loses everything. He comes off as a heartbreaker but actually he just keeps getting dumped by everyone because nobody trusts him as far as they can throw him even when he genuinely cares and continues to suffer over the breakup for years afterwards. He's the ultimate boy who cried wolf. Truly the most pathetic meow meow of all time. He's played by Lee Pace, so he's really hot. Actually everyone on this list is really hot and can cut glass with their cheekbones.

Honorable mention to Eugenides from Queen's Thief, who sadly got replaced by Laurent at the last minute. Also honorable mention to a dozen Star Wars characters who got kicked out by Thrawn, including but not limited to my boy Luthen Rael, the entire Skywalker family, Darth Maul, Aleksandr Kallus, and Hera Syndulla.

Five people I'm tagging: @highladyluck @kokoshnjak @thesunlikehoney @capablecapybara @kissingdeadgirls at random from my notifs and anyone else who wants to participate :)) also you don't really have to write a paragraph for each one I'm just annoying and like overthinking things <3

#this was so hard I could have made a top ten list with Star Wars characters only #and another top ten list with just chaotic guile heroes #grand admiral thrawn #lisbeth salander #laurent of vere #hina kudo #yang hwa #joe macmillan

Oceans of Emotions (part 1)

You stood outside the operation room, waiting praying that all your co-workers were okay. After the hostage situation that was taking place, you were trying to be a doctor but your mind wasn't in it.

Manager Jang: Dr L/n, is okay. They'll be okay. He said, as he rubbed your arm.

Y/n: I know. I'm just worried about them. What if he does something stupid...and someone innocent gets hurt?

Manager Jang, didn't say anything as he just gave you a side hug where you instantly laid your head on his shoulder.

Manager Jang: Just think positive Dr L/n.

Y/n: Thank you, Manager Jang.

Time skip

Everyone came out of the operating room savely, as they came out you sighed in relief. As they all stood in front of the cops, you turned your back and headed for the break room.

Once you were there, you sat on the couch were you released the tears that were kept in all the time of the hostage situation.

Your face in your hands, as you cried. You didn't even notice the couch sinking in, you stopped as you looked up seeing Dr Kang.

Dong-Joo: Y/n?

Y/n: Dong-Joo? You said, smiling as you hugged your best friend.

You started crying again, feeling a wave of emotions running through you.

Dong-Joo: It's okay.

Y/n: How is it okay? You, Seo-joon, In-bum, Teacher Kim, Miss Oh, Dr Nam and Mr Park were held hostage...how can it be okay? I was so worried that Manager Jang had to keep me calm in all of this.

Dong-Joo: At least just go for a walk to clear your mind, and take a breath. Please, do it for me.

Y/n: Okay. For you. You replied, as you got up and headed outside.

Once you were near the park bench, you sat down and looked over the scenery when you saw Dr Do approaching.

In-bum: Hi.

Y/n: Hi.

In-bum: Can I join you?

Y/n: Sure. You said, as In-bum sat down. You know what...on second thought I think I sh-

In-beom: Y/n, please. He begged, as he took hold of your hand. We need to talk.

Y/n: Why? There's nothing to talk about.

In-beom: There's plenty to talk about. He replied, as he got up.

Y/n: Like what? Are you implying we need to talk about the fact you broke up with me?

In-beom: Y/n-

Y/n: If you are then let's talk. Yes, yes I'm extremely mad at you...heck I might even hate you for what you did. You hurt me, and for what? All because daddy Do found out that you were dating me? You yelled, not knowing Mr Park heard it all, the entire conversation.

In-bum: Y/n, I never meant to hurt you...i just-

Y/n: Save it. We may work together, and be colleagues, but that's it. From now on, my personal life to you, is blank...you'll never hear anything of my life outside or inside the hospital. I only allow you to keep my phone number, since we use it for the hospital too. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work.

Leaving In-bum alone, you walked back to the hospital, tears leaving your face as your emotions took over you yet again. On arrival, Mr Park, stood with a cup of warm tea in his hand offering it to you as you came to a still.

Mr Park: I thought you'd like some tea after your walk, to warm you up.

Y/n: Thank you, Eun-Tak-...sorry I mean Mr Park.

Mr Park: Don't be,you can call me by my name. He smiled, looking at you. Would you like to come over after work? I made some kimchi fried rice last night, and I have plenty left...it would be the perfect end to the horrible day.

Y/n: I'd like that. Thank you.

After work

You sat in Eun-Tak house, laughing at the Korean drama on the TV that you were watching with him.

Y/n: Oh...hahaha, this...this is great. Thank you, for inviting me over tonight Eun-Tak this is what I needed.

Mr Park: I'm glad your happy.

Y/n: Eun-Tak...about today and what you heard, I think I should explain-

Mr Park: Y/n, you don't have to.

Y/n: I want to. I need to explain the situation...at least my best friend will know what happened.

Mr Park: I'm your best friend?

Y/n: Yes...to me you are.

Mr Park: I'm all ears. He said, as he took your hand in his.

Y/n: Okay. So, I'm-beom and I started dating in college, we were happy and had your standard relationship. Our relationship was still going strong, when we were working at the same hospital where his father's the precident. Anyway, after a while, I'm-beom toom me on a romantic date one night...to the beach. It was so beautiful, there were candles lit saying will you marry me...i was in such shock that I barely heard him ask me. So...finally I said yes, and he kissed me while sliding on the ring and it truly was a beautiful ring and I still carry it with me to this day. I don't know why, but I do. Anyway, after a while his father found out we were engaged and had an outburst of rage, he yelled at I'm-beom and said that he had to break off the engagement or else there will be many consequences and regrets. There were quite a few people who heard it in the hospital, even me. And I really thought I'm-beom would choose me, but he ended up leaving me saying that his future is more important than I am.

Mr Park: Y/n, I'm sorry.

Y/n: Funny thing is, I thought I was going to be part of his future. Turns out, his career was more important, which came to this. That's why we fought today...he wanted to reconnect, and be friends again. H...how can I be friends with him after all the hurt he caused me?

Mr Park: In my opinion, you don't have to reconnect, or be friends again but forgiving him is a way of letting go of the past.

Y/n: You think I should?

Mr Park: I do. May I see the ring?

Y/n: Yes. Here it is. You said, as you lifted the necklace from your neck.

Mr Park: It's beautiful.

Y/n: It is. W...would you mind if I left early? I need to do something.

Mr Park: Of course. Mr Park replied, as he got up and followed you to your car. I'll see you tomorrow at work, please do drive safe and let me know when you arrive home.

Y/n: I will Eun-Tak. Thank you, for a lovely evening...and for listening to everything I had to say. You said, as you placed a kiss on his cheek. Your truly an amazing friend.

Mr Park: So are you.

Smiling, you said your last goodbye as you drove to the place that was on your mind. On arrival, you knocked on the door and to your surprise it was I'm-beom who opened the door.

I'm-beom: Y/n? What are you doing here this time of night?

Y/n: I wanted to talk to you.

I'm-beom: Come in-

Y/n: No. I won't be long...i just wanted to give you this. You said, as you gave him the engagement ring.

I'm-beom: Y/n, I gave this to you-

Y/n:I don't want to keep it. I...i need to give this to you in order to move on from the pain, I felt for so long. I know the reason I hated you, was because you hurt me...and I couldn't get over the fact that the man I loved more than anything was gone. Now I know, that in order to be able to work together and being coworkers, I need to let go of it all. And this...this ring symbolizes it all, all the emotions.

I'm-beom: Y/n-

Y/n: I forgive you I'm-beom. I do. I was upset when I saw you at the hospital, and learning of you joining the staff, but now I want us to get along again and be friends.

I'm-beom: I'd like that. He replied, as he took your hand in his, placing the ring back in your hands. You can forgive me, and move on, doing all the things you just said. But, I want you to keep this...not as a rememberace of the bad memories, but to remember the good ones we had together. I would love for you to keep it y/n...please.

Looking at I'm-beom, you turned around and pulled your hair to the side showing I'm-beom that he cod place the necklace with the ring on your neck. He gently put it on your neck, his fingers softly grazing your neck which made you shiver slightly.

I'm-beom: There.

Y/n: I'll see you tomorrow at work then?

I'm-beom: Yes. He replied, looking into your eyes.

I'm-beom knew he still had feelings for you, but he couldn't cross that line. He wanted you to be in his life, and if it meant he had to stay your friend he was willing to pay the price.

3 Months Later

You were all at a new years party, drinking, dancing, playing games, and much more. You were talking to Dong-Joo, talking about how he and Seo-joon and how their relationship is going so well. It pleased you to see how happy he was, smiling he gave you one last hug before running off to his fair beloved.

You stood on your own, until I'm-beom came over to talk to you, both of you talking like nothing ever happened between you both.

Time skip

You were sat down on your bed by I'm-beom, both very drunk after the party. He took you home, as he was being a perfect gentleman and friend even though he was drunk himself.

Y/n: Beom? You asked, using his nickname. The nickname he hasn't heard, for so long.

I'm-beom: Yes?

Y/n: I...love...you. You said, as you pulled him in for a kiss.

I'm-beom didn't hesitate to kiss you back, all his emotions and yours were resurfacing.

I'm-beom: Y/n...i...never...stopped...loving...you. He said, between kisses.

Y/n: Then show me...show me how much you love me. You said, as he kissed your neck.

Nodding his head, he took off his tie, pushing you down on the bed as he hovered over your body.

Next morning

The sun shone in your face brightly, making you groan, as you shifted feeling something press against your back. Eyes shooting wide, you sat up seeing I'm-beom laying next to you.

His chest was exposed, for you to see all his abs, frowning you looked down to see you were naked causing you to scream.

Y/n: I'M-BEOM!

I'm-beom shot up sitting, facing you instantly as he saw you were both naked.

I'm-beom: AHHH!

Y/n: Why are you screaming?

I'm-beom: AGH...my head. He said, as he held his head. What happened.

Y/n: Really? What happened? It's pretty obvious. We both slept together, and judging by both our headaches we were both drunk when it happened.
