#if your faves don’t ultimately doom themselves due to being unable to overcome the failings inherent to them as people then like....#what do you even like them for?#open question#seeing characters you love succeed is great sure but what compares to them being ultimately unable to overcome their fatal flaw? NOTHING!#the bigger and sexier it is - the better#in the same chapter that Starbuck is introduced - we’re told that he’s an inherently good person but he is going to fail miserably#and that is probably the precise moment i decided that he was my favorite character#‘he waxes brave but nevertheless obeys. most careful bravery that.’ hellO HELLO!!!!!!!!#the number of favorite characters this applies to is honestly embarrassing but it is THE MOOD @starbuck​‘s tags

i’m a simple woman. if theres a story where the main leader dude is like “we gotta put together a team” and then it cuts between them finding the team members in various positions that indicate their jobs & personalities in neatly-put-together little vignettes before they all come together and just clash horrifically because they have to learn how to operate with each other, then i am all over that shit like white on rice that’s my favorite fuckin trope
