As a bonafide monster f***er... I think weirdly the story that is my most private "Hear me out" Is: The Mask of the Red Death. I don't know what it is about Poe's capacity to make grotesquerie into my niche thing... but I remember even as a child I was like "There is definitely something wrong with me". I don't even know who the hear me out is for in that... maybe it's for the vision of Death itself stalking the people of the Abbey or what... like... imagine writing a story that parallels your wife's decaying death by tuberculosis just for some gay guy a hundred and eighty-two years later to be like... "Hot." Feels insane. I feel insane bringing it up.

Here me out, but a polycule with Red and Blue from This is How You Lose the Time War.

I love the hear me out trend, It shows all the darkest unhinged takes we all have

Grenouille was played in the movie by Ben Whishaw, so there might be a rather long queue for that one. For me, it's Steerpike from Gormenghast. True, you might end up a desiccated corpse in a dusty unlit chamber with your detached skull on a stick, but it would be worth it.

Love this! Definitely seconding Frankenstein’s creature. I’ve also followed Scalzi’s blog for over a decade and he seems like a delightful human being. I’m ace, and my ‘hear me outs’ are generally less pantsfeelings and more platonic, but hear me out - Chris from Scalzi’s Lock In. I want to hang with them, but I also want to live in a world with ungendered disabled folks who get robot bodies and still recognize that we live in a capitalist hellscape. Also, teenage me says Louis from Interview with a Vampire (that one is at least a little pantsfeelings 😂).

Also Willow, I’ve followed you for quite a while, and it is such a joy to see you become more yourself, more free and giddy. Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤

positively obsessed with all these answers, especially Tove's Dawn masterpiece and the Wild Things

Don't you think all Discworld crushes fall under the 'Hear me out' category? 😂 My Discworld crush is Moist Von Lipwig - the simultaneously best and worst-named character in history!

Why was I nodding along at the Just Like Home mention.... 🙈

Denna from Terry Goodkind's "Stone of Tears" (Sword of Truth #2). She's basically a dominatrix with a magical pain stick. There's a whole sisterhood of them, but she's my favorite 😍

[TepidShambles]

Vincent Barnes from "How to Bite Your Neighbor and Win A Wager" by D. N. Bryn. I love a tragic vampire, I just want to hold him and feed him and make sure nothing hurts him ever again.

I'm just about to start reading Season of the Swamp today!

I used to read tons of comics back in the 80s and 90s - haven't now for years but have been really enjoying the MCU - but all that to say the many Spiderman titles were some of my favorites (there were like 4 titles but the stories all crossed, so you had to read them all - how evil!) All years before Miles Morales and Spidergwen; this reminds me I need to catch up and watch the 2nd Across the Spiderverse movie...

You are so right about the If We Were Villains cast

[studyingpeach]

Oh, I have a few. The old lady main character from Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk for sure; she is obsessed with zodiac signs, lives alone in an isolated cabin in the middle of the mountins, and she is an environmental activist? Sign me UP. The Dog Woman from Sexing the Cherry by Jeannette Winterson; I have no excuses for this one, I love a women capable of throwing me around. Estraven from The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, which requires no explanation, if you've read the book you know that they are perfect, possesing everything one might want in a partner, and I mean EVERYTHING. Also honorable mention, literally every single monster character Angela Carter writes about in her story collection The Bloody Chamber.

[kathrynjohnson]

My hear me out would be Skulduggery Pleasant from the Skulduggery Pleasant. A funny wisecracking detective who's a walking skeleton, who's been dead for many years, has killed hundreds and is very much unhinged... absolutely!

8:05 grady hendrix's giant teddy abomination surely, we all like to cuddle teddies, but a teddy that can cuddle you??

[dubbingsync]

I feel like my Hear Me Outs for books are quite tame, the first one that came to mind was Jackie in Death on the Nile. Crazy, but always told she is beautiful so I couldn’t help but get some attachment.

[rachelny]

Serapio from Black Sun. Or, hear me out, Slewfoot.

[Amoscrts]

I’m completely with you on Dracula and the whole Shakespeare-quoting cast of If We Were Villains! 😊

[Daniluv]

I am obsessed with your content and adore your work

[Amystudio]

Recently Slewfoot from Slewfoot by Brom did it for me 🙈
