I thought it would also be fun to talk about a few of my favorite fictional fathers today as well. I am a person who tends to appreciate the strong matriarch more than the patriarch, but there are a few papa's out there that I do enjoy.
Charlie Swan from Twilight. I know, I know. Twilight. Ugh. But seriously, Charlie is the most real, down to earth, relate-able character in the books and movies for me. The casting was absolutely spot on for the movies. He gives such a funny take on the story and he says and thinks the things we, as readers, think while hearing the story.
Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones. Ok, I don't wish he was my dad. The people on this list aren't exactly candidates for Father of the Year, lol, but Tywin is a bad ass.
Al Bundy for Married...With Children. The most nonchalant, flippant, sarcastic, unsophisticated Dad ever on TV. And I love him.
ETA: I forgot one of my favorite Dad's! Richard Castle.
Richard Castle is a Dad who acts more like a kid. Who does wacky science experiments, plays laser tag, comes home dressed like a zombie, and writes bestselling crime novels? Castle does and he is awesome.
And there you have my batch of favorite fictional Dads. What are some of your favorites?

Arthur Weasley!!! I love him :) As Jean Oram said, hehe, and then I was like "Wait, he's awesome." He's my favorite. Also, Dr. Manette from Tale of Two Cities. I can't really think of any other famous fictional fathers (say that thrice :) ).
ReplyDeleteLOL. My Dad and I are like your Dad and you are. I told my boyfriend that if I go back to college, I'm not going to my graduation because I hate all the focus being on me and he just doesn't get it because he loved his graduation. My Dad, however, does. He's really sweet actually. He says,"All I want for my birthday/christmas/father's day is a happy family." He doesn't want all the attention on him.
