14 Characters I Loved in 2014

Let us reminisce about 2014 some more! Last year, I met characters that I ended up loving and there were also other characters that I managed to warm up to. So let's see who they are!

1.) Sara Lance (Arrow)
Seriously. Why kill off an amazing character? Why, CW. WHY.

2.) Nico Di Angelo (Heroes of Olympus/Percy Jackson & the Olympians)
I did not notice him that much in the PJO series, simply because he was such a naive little boy. But he changed dramatically in Heroes of Olympus, and I could not help but feel very sorry for him. Then Blood of Olympus came and I began rooting for him. His development was very drastic compared to most of the characters in the series, in my opinion. It's probably the reason why I was so drawn to him. And he turned out pretty good. In the end, I became really proud of him. He deserves my greatest hugs.

3.) Cisco (The Flash)
For some odd reason, he is my favorite character in the series. Don't get me wrong, Barry is great but Cisco is just so adorable! I've mentioned this before, but he is my spirit animal. His reaction to awesome stuff, is how I react to awesome stuff. Awesome.

4.) Piper Mclean (Heroes of Olympus)
She may not have been the most impressive character in the series, but Riordan has managed to redeem her and it turned out pretty great. She taught me that it's not bad to use your heart in making decisions. Sometimes, logic does not work in certain situations and you just have to stick to your feelings or instincts. Use both your heart and brain, basically.

5.) Reyna (Heroes of Olympus)
I am honestly glad that she had a POV in the last book. I loved her character since The Son of Neptune and I wanted to get to know her more ever since. And I am glad that she is not just a plain badass, she's also...a girl. I was honestly touched when she moved to Nico and gave him a hug. That was one of my favorite parts in the book.

6.) Clary Fray (The Mortal Instruments)
Just like Piper, Clare managed to redeem her character. It actually happened since the City of Lost Souls. Right now, I do not find her too annoying. Not only can she fight, but she can be more diplomatic and she is slightly more stable...emotionally. 

Reddit

7.) Satsuki Kiryuin (Kill La Kill)
I knew she was not a bad guy. I just knew it! I don't know if anti-hero is the right word to describe her, but let's just say she became a hero in her own way. She had an insane goal, but she managed to focus on that goal. No matter how risky all her moves were, she just did it. And she's also not afraid to play dirty when she has to.

8.) Naruto (Naruto)
As you all know, Naruto ended last year. The only one who left a lasting impression to me was none other than, our beloved orange ninja. I'm just so proud of him, because he has managed to accomplish all of his dreams and goals in life. He managed to make peace with Sasuke, he became Hokage, and he married a beautiful girl with cups larger than an A. Plus, he matured. Good job, Naruto!

9.) Mikasa Ackerman (Shingeki No Kyojin)
One of my amazing girl crushes. Not only is she just so loving and purely awesome...she has abs. Beautiful Ackerman abs.

10.) Armin Arlert (Shingeki No Kyojin)
He's not one of those wimpy characters who stay wimpy till the end. He's realistic in a way, that he abruptly tries to change himself, but ends up failing miserably. All throughout the first season, I see how he eventually sees his friends as inspiration and attempts to become a stronger and better individual. It amazes me how he nearly failed to see his ultimate strength, which was his brilliant mind. Now that's a very realistic and human trait.

Twitter

11.) Hiro (Big Hero 6)
As much as Baymax, Gogo, and the other characters were awesome (trust me, all of the characters are cool), Hiro still left a lasting impression. Heck, he's my favorite character. He's an interesting balance of a pre-teen. On one hand, he's a very passionate and brilliant robotics nerd. On another, he's a sensitive little boy. Not only that, this kid gave me so much feels in less than three hours.

12.) Tadashi (Big Hero 6)
Do I really have to describe why I love him?

Fanpop

13.) Asami (Legend of Korra)
Asami is what you would call...the ideal best friend (or girlfriend). I just love how mature she was in most situations. Even if she was on her breaking point, she knew how to fix things under pressure. Also, I love how she never saw Korra as a rival or anything. Also, she takes break-ups surprisingly well compared to most female characters I've seen. And she is actually a great independent character. She may not be a bender, but she knows how to take care of herself and the people she loves. She may have done a few minor mistakes in the show, but they didn't bother me at all. She's still a human, after all.

14.) Samantha Borgens (Stuck in Love: Writers)
For the very first time, I've seen Lily Collins come to life. This was seriously the first time I saw her act. Her character was amazing. I don't know with you guys, but she is one of the greatest examples of a girl who received so much love and happiness, which ends up being trampled with divorce papers.

What to Expect this October!

October is finally here and you know what that means! It's time for Halloween!!!

Well apart from that, we have got a huge line-up of fandom events happening this month! Now what does Tama-chan mean about fandom events? I'm simply talking about the long-awaited premieres and releases of our favorite shows, movies, and books! I'm sure we all know what to expect, but a simple reminder will not hurt anybody, right? So let's get to it!

Arrow Season 3

A few posts ago, I spazzed over the trailer of the very first episode of Arrow Season 3, which is called the High Speed Chase. And even though I finished the second season of Arrow recently, I am still aching for more episodes! I've been reading a lot of possible theories on what would most likely happen during the third season, and I've received a lot of news on who will be there and who will portray the roles, and just reading about it makes me feel like I need to go to the bathroom (that's the best analogy I can think of, sorry). Now that October is here, I can finally breathe...just a little bit, though. To the fans of Team Arrow, we will be able to see if Ollicity is legit

Premiere of The Flash

What makes the showing of Arrow Season 3 even more exciting, is the premiere of the Pilot episode of The Flash! We've seen the costume, the trailers, the theories, the cast, now it's time to see the real thing! I am looking forward to Grant's Gustin performance as Barry Allen and I cannot wait for the crossover episodes it will have with Arrow. Flash has been one of my favorite superheroes growing up, so I have really high expectations, as well as very high hopes for this series. I nearly teared up when I heard Flash was going to have his own series. It means that I am close to my ultimate DC dream.

Rick Riordan's "Blood of Olympus" and "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard" 

That's right, demigods! The final installment of the Heroes of Olympus is fast approaching. Okay, let me give you guys time to cry, scream, and react violently. For almost a year, internet memes and Riordan's twitter posts about who will survive has definitely left some severe damage to our brains. Now that its release is almost here, I am starting to have second thoughts if finding out the grand finale to this series will be such a good idea. I honestly do not want the reign of Percy Jackson and his Camp Half-Blood friends to end, and I still want more adventure. However, I think Percy would protest against that idea, since he's had enough of near-death experiences already.

Yes, I am actually very sad that the series is about to end. It is like Harry Potter all over again. But Rick Riordan has never failed to make his readers grin. Luckily, Rick has surprised us yet with another demigod-related series, called Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard!!! I believe fans of Thor will be happy to know that Riordan will eventually release his brand new series that revolves around Norse Mythology! I know it's still coming out next year on the same month, but I need to express how overjoyed I am about his announcement. Ever since Rick revealed the title, I started asking myself who Magnus Chase really is. For those who are loyal readers of the past series (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Kane Chronicles, Heroes of Olympus), I am sure that the surname Chase rings a lot of bells. So who is he really? I'm actually too nervous to find out. Right now, I am already thinking of which of the Norse gods or goddesses should claim me. Any suggestions?

The Book of Life

When I first saw the trailer, I didn't feel any excitement or desire to watch the film. But then I noticed that there are a lot of people (particularly my animator friends) who really want to see this film and they are not children, mind you. I have to admit, I do not know what this movie is really about or if it's based on a legendary fairy tale of some sort, but I am suddenly intrigued and I might be willing to give it a shot. I almost felt the same before I watched How to Train Your Dragon, but I ended up loving it with all my heart. So yeah, let's see how this goes.

I know that isn't everything that will happen this month, but let's just say these are the main highlights of this month for me and I will say it again...I am so excited! I have a strong feeling that this will be a great month. So I guess it is time for me to bring out my wallet and remote control and start fangirling all over the place!

Till the next post~
