![]() Like the Dutiful Princess, the King can be any gender. Now we’re adding two more Fandomentals character archetypes: the King and the Buttercup. Likewise, we’ve explored the delightful Glorious Dumbasses Ava Silva ( Warrior Nun) and Wynonna Earp ( Wynonna Earp), as well as Disaster Chosen One, Sister Lilith ( Warrior Nun). We’ve written several pieces detailing our favorite Dutiful Princesses (originally inspired by House Martell) including Sue Gilbert of Dickinson, Princess Leia of Star Wars, and naturally, Princess Arianne from ASOIAF. With regards to character types, we’ve been using the term Dutiful Princess for a few years now, and last fall we introduced two additional character archetypes: the Glorious Dumbass and the Disaster Chosen One. (Thank her for all the giveaways!)īeyond Carol, we’ve also heavily used two terms, Watsonian and Doylist, as ways to quickly establish a viewpoint for how we’re approaching our analysis, critiquing a show, or discussing a character. ![]() Carol would later become our unofficial mascot in the form of a guinea pig and occasionally issues site decrees that we run to carry out. For example, Carol and Cheryl and Larry became part of our lexicon as a way to quickly refer to the radically different Game of Thrones counterparts for George RR Martin’s characters in A Song of Ice and Fire. So from time to time, we’ve crafted out our lexicon of character types, names, and concepts to help serve as a shorthand for some ideas or central tenets we’ve established on this site. Whether we’re looking at games, sartorial elements, or media… we have to explore it, the themes it plays on, its context, and its history. If you’ve been following the Fandomentals for a while, it shouldn’t surprise you that we live for analysis in all its forms.
