Character Rants

I would like to start this off with a post about Louis goddamn Tomlinson.





Louis Tomlinson is absolutely ridiculous. He's got a ridiculous amount of energy and he's the oldest and he's just flat out LOVELY. I like fic characterization of him; he's the one who jokes around because it's what is expected of him, what he's good at, what he's used to. He's got a mischievous grin and bright eyes and he kind of looks a little bit like Peter Pan. He's a little bit ridiculous and he has no concept of personal space (seriously, though. None, especially where Harry's concerned), and if you screw with his friends (or his mum or his four little sisters), he'll have no problem calling you out on it. He's loud and he's brash and he's energetic and he's sarcastic, but he can also be quite serious, and he's more likely than most of the boys to take a strong stance on things. He's got his issues, too, but he's more selfless than a lot of people give him credit for. He puts others first.

All of this was prompted by reading the following:

Basically, I love Louis a lot and he's really kind of my favorite.
