Favourite fictional blunderers

A thread for characters you love because they mess everything up, every time.

I empathise with him more than I'd like.

I already posted 'em in the pokemon thread but I'm posting them here. They're so incompetent they don't even know how to say their own motto, despite repeating it every episode. They also have a pedal-powered submarine. I was never too interested in them as a kid, and now I don't know what was wrong with me. They are carrying that show.

I love how absolutely determined Jessie is and how absolutely wrong she is. Without her, the team would be nothing. And as a result, they would all be better off. There's always something endearing about someone so energetically wrong.

My little siblings were deeply into the Pokemon cartoon as it came out, and Team Rocket were the only thing worth watching in it.

I want them to give up chasing violent pokemon and have a marvellous life on the stage; it's where they belong. Well, I'm sure they'd be horrible actors and worse singers, but they'd have phenomenal costumes, and I think they might be able to dance. Their ballet would be of the "I have no idea what just happened, but whatever it was, it was stylish" variety.

I just want them to have a happy life together as a group, with the Pokemon they love, without all the terrible things that happen to them.

Cersei Lannister. Every time she makes a problem worse by killing someone who was more useful to her alive, her way of resolving it is to do some more killing and make exponentially more problems for herself. So she clearly should have been a software developer tasked with fixing bugs, and she was just born in the wrong place at the wrong time for her skillset. I have a soft spot for her. I think in general I like brutish female characters who try to solve all their problems by punching them.

Forget Jaime, m'lady, I'll murder for you <3

LOL so I was searching for if Lena Headey had preferred that wig to the earlier one since I figured it was less maintenance but presumably still warm and itchy because wig, so was curious. And I just searched "cersei wig". And this etsy creation came up:

Cersei Weasley, the black sheep of the family.

Tell me more about this crossover, nonny.

Re: Favourite fictional blunderers

I can't decide whether she should be Molly's or Arthur's sister, though lean toward Arthur for the contrast. She's a Slytherin and a death eater. Voldemort finds her exasperating because she keeps breaking things he wants protected. She's a lot like Bellatrix. She boasts of her pureblood lineage and then everyone's like "lol but ur a weasley tho" and she privately vows vengeance as they all laugh at her. Fenrir Greyback makes creepy comments. She doesn't like the crowd and looks down on them, but it's her crowd. Arthur sends her a vacuum cleaner every year in the hopes that it opens her eyes to the value and ingenuity of muggles. It hasn't worked so far.

ayrt

Arthur's sister would definitely be the big contrast. "lol but ur a weasley tho" - ded

I'm tempted to start calling Cersei "Cersei Weasley" in everyday conversation, and then when people are like "you mean Lannister", just look at them blankly and say "no, it's Cersei Weasley, she's Arthur Weasley's sister, remember?" and see how many people I can enrage with it.
