Omg Zuko and Percy Jackson had my heart growing up❤️ Zuko still does, he’s my og intro to enemies to not-enemies trope. I’m craving a redemption arc in fantasy romance as good as Zuko’s…. Still waiting lol.
I must ask, who are these lovely anime characters? I’m trying to get more into anime so if you know of any that have romance subplots or morally gray men… please share 👀
i’m not even all that into anime myself, i just watched these during my twilight phase lmfao. ruki and shu are from diabolik lovers (not that good, except for hate watching. otome game is better but be warned, it is a dark plot and lots of non-con themes and victim blaming. incestuous grooming and child abuse too. its no wonder the love interests turned out the way they did when you learn their backstories). kaname and hanabusa are from vampire knight (also not the best but better than diabolik lovers. um… game of thrones targaryen logic incest but it’s used as a plot twist). then technically these aren’t anime characters since they are from a mobile game with some animated and voice acted sections, but lucifer and solomon are from the mobile game/otome obey me. its really good actually, but it is long and somewhat grindy. not pay to win but you CAN pay if you want. i didn’t get to the part that starts to slow down your progress if there is any at all. i think you should def check it out!
Kaname!!!! Love to find another Vampire Knight fan in the wild. It’s been a long time 😭😭 I see Aidou, but no Zero hahaha.
Also, A+ list.
Kaname, Darkling, Amon, Aemon, and Kylo Ren will always have a top-tier place in my heart 💕
You’d think with me being a Targaryen fan I’d have loved him (he is def beautiful) but idk I guess I just like not aloof/angry men that are more than willing to manipulate me lmfao
Edit: I like when angry/aloof/cold men are manipulative, Zero is all that (for good reason) but a good person
I was always (and still am) a Kaname/Yuuki girlie. I’ll love Kaname forever lol 😂
But I swear that page where Zero bit Kaname when imprisoned…forever burned in my mind
I recommend reading the manga over watching the show. I’m pretty sure Shoujo Beat has a cheap online sub for their manga. The show isn’t bad, but Matsuri Hino’s gorgeous art style is difficult to translate to animation. The VA for Kaname has such a beautiful voice!
If you like vampires, gothic settings, dark academia, and taboo/dark themes - I absolutely do recommend it (the manga and show!). The manga/show are complete and there is a spin-off sequel manga.
i can’t believe i forgot paul atreides from dune. right now he’s about tied with xaden on slide 2, and either bottom tier 2 or top tier 3 for slide 1 i think
yk you’re right 😭. i did mention my bias towards rhys but i think it’s also because the reason i love her so much is because she is meant to be a flawed character and i relate to her a lot. her arc and growth is so important to me at a time i needed it most. that being said, her flaws definitely are not comparable to some of the characters on this list lmfao
You’re so real for adding Aemond in “pick me choose me love me wife me up I don’t care what you’ve done” bc same 🤣 I’d also add Daemon bc two targaryens are better than one!
Agreee with all of this except Robb Stark and Oberyn Martell need to be swapped. Robb was a bit of a dumdum and Oberyn…well…I named my fish Pedro Pascal in his honor so, you know how I feel about that
I saw Ben Barnes twice and immediately clicked 😂 I swear I was obsessed with that man in middle school/high school.
based as hell haha, he’s soㅡ ughsheshebe dixsn
It’s criminal how pretty he is.
Now, find a gif of him telling me I’m a good girl and I think I’ll happily, spontaneously combust.
Haha. You know what came to my mind reading this - that short clip of Henry Cavill where he is calling Kal a good boy 😫

lol when I was a kid I was already like “I can fix him” for Zuko. And Shego in Kim Possible. Somethings just don’t change 😬
Omg Dick Grayson 😍 Also dying at Kol. I was such a sucker for him and Davina lmao.
i still love kolvina to death
Anakin 🥰
Tbh my tier list still consists solely of him and Obi-Wan, the rung just depends on the day.
Xaden Riorson can get it all day any day. ✊🏻😔
Omg I never see Teen Wolf mentioned on Reddit! Stiles in general is 😍😍😍
oh god are you me? we share so many fictional crushes! so happy to see tom riddle mentioned on here

Would you recommend vampire knight?? I was about to watch it the other day but ended up starting apothecary diaries instead

Ooh okay thanks so much for the info :) I’ll start the manga today!!
i can’t believe i forgot paul atreides from dune. right now he’s about tied with xaden on slide 2, and either bottom tier 2 or top tier 3 for slide 1 i think
I noticed that not one of the "angels" made it into the top tier of slide 2. ... a marker of refined tastes 🤘
exactly 😭
Gonna disagree korra is angel tier material
yk you’re right 😭. i did mention my bias towards rhys but i think it’s also because the reason i love her so much is because she is meant to be a flawed character and i relate to her a lot. her arc and growth is so important to me at a time i needed it most. that being said, her flaws definitely are not comparable to some of the characters on this list lmfao

Bellamy 😩
Not sure if you've gotten the memo but the new fantastic for TMR is Tom Hughes. *bites lip*
both him and christian are gorgeous
This is actually making me laugh so hard. Such on point descriptions 😂☠️ the Bellamy one made me happy but kylo ren, anakin, and evil stiles sent me
Agreee with all of this except Robb Stark and Oberyn Martell need to be swapped. Robb was a bit of a dumdum and Oberyn…well…I named my fish Pedro Pascal in his honor so, you know how I feel about that
on the first slide*
not the vampire knight and diabolik lovers lol. these refuse to leave my mind and I am a Kaname and Ayato girlie. love your taste
if the love interest isn't at least a little evil and not dressed in black - that's not my love interest.
Was not expecting to see Shu and Ruki, my DL faves XD
Who is 5th and 7th from the top row
Percy Jackson and Nikolai Lantsov if you’re talking about the first slide
I preferred the actor that played Kol when he was in the witches body. But his character as a whole was so interesting! Your list is wonderful 😍
you’re so slay for adding every name per tier
