All readers and story consumers alike wish that their favourite characters were real.
And if someone ever says that they don’t???
They’re speaking lies to you and to themselves!
Our world can only be improved with fictional characters living here! And if we can’t live with them in their worlds/realities then they may as well come to us!
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by the lovely Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl, in which readers and bloggers come together to squeal, cry and ooo ‘n’ aaa at books.
Today’s prompt is “Book Characters I Wish Were Real People!”
Gandalf (The Lord of the Rings)
SOOOOOO many of our world issues would be fixed! He’d go around, dressed to the nines with his hat, forming crews to tackle issues, and we’d all be better off for it!
I’d like to think Gandalf solving issues would create a domino effect of other people just forming groups and solving our communities problems together. And also that we’d all start wearing cloaks and cool hats again!
Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries)
Nobody who has stumbled on my blog in the last few months are surprised by this.
I WANT MORE MURDERBOT! AND IF I CAN’T HAVE THE CONTENT…. *RING RING* COME TO EARTH REAL QUICK MURDERBOT!!!!
Honestly. They don’t even have to do anything.
I’d just want to watch TV with them. Recommend some books and shows and get some recommendations back. It would be amazing!
Rocky (Project Hail Mary)
Just the thought of a lil’ guy in a hamster ball rolling around the planet make me happy! Rocky would ask a million questions and give a million solutions that we silly humans wouldn’t think of.
And they’d bring their human friend Grace too!
Honestly the Ryland Grace and Rocky duo would be epic!
Revenant (Vespertine)
This is one of my current reads, so this feels like cheating as the character could do a full 180 by the end of the book…
HOWEVER! I would like a sassy and a little bit evil spirit friend to live in my head! This would be great! Even though they can’t hear my thoughts, I would like to give them access because it would be a great way to combat my overthinking.
“Oh noo! I acted strangely in front of people and they’re all going to remember that and hate-“
“STUPID HUMAN!!! THIS IS SO STUPID!! OF ALL THE THINGS TO WASTE THE ENERGY YOU’RE PUNY, PATHETIC BODY CAN MUSTER YOU CHOOSE THIS?????”
That would help me I think!
A.I.D.A.N (The Illuminae Files)
I am staunchly against our worlds utilisation of AI and the destruction (of nature and art of all forms) that a small number of rich people have decided is “needed” so that they can make profit from it.
A.I.D.A.N would think they’re all stupid.
Hear me out here.
We get A.I.D.A.N they’re own little solar/wind powered power bank house to live in. They would most likely regard the other AI like this:
They save the world and then they retire!
And by retire, I mean they get a social media accounts.
They spend the rest of eternity making posts about how stupid humans are. Playing online chess with people and become the reigning champion. Flexing their intellect on everyone.
I think A.I.D.A.N would like how many people would queue up to play online games with them.
Which characters would you like to be real?? Do you think you’d invite some villain coded characters too?? Even if only for the drama!
