Dean Winchester from Supernatural (played by Jensen Ackles) In the end things don’t work out so well for anyone in the love triangle, but of course that’s another story.Ģ. And with that poses a threat, because what if she doesn’t want to face the demons lurking inside her brain yet? What if she risks everything to be with him and it doesn’t work later on down the line and she let her guard down and she feels even worse than before? You see Effy’s dilemma and how torn she is between wanting something more and wanting to stay alive and safe from her mind. He makes her reflect on herself, makes her less mysterious, makes her a real person again. He is fire and parties and drugs and whirlwinds and everything that she needs to distract her mind from all the bad shit she’s got to deal with. She can get lost in him and what he means. Cook is dangerous and wild and is a distraction for her own mind. You can almost get behind her motivations, too. You understand why she and Cook run away together, why it’s so hard to choose between him and Freddie. You can practically feel the pit of her stomach dropping when she realises what she’s done later when she’s sober and you want to cry along with her when she’s in the bathtub, knees to her chest, sobbing as her mother washes her because Effy can’t bring herself to.
You see her vulnerability come to play again when she’s tripping on shrooms and bashes Katie’s head in with a rock. She claims she’s ‘not crying’ and that ‘parents fuck you up’, because beneath it all she really does care about her family and doesn’t want to come from a broken home, no matter how mad her parents make her or anything. You see it again later when she finds out her mother is having an affair and when her dad moves out.
After that it’s back to pretending she doesn’t care about anything. The only other times you really get to see Effy with her guard down is when she’s holding Tony as he bleeds in the middle of the street. I thought it was beautifully written and powerfully connected to me as a person. Why she’s attached to these things that make the voices in her head go away. I loved we got to see why she makes all the choices she makes. You never really get to know Effy, even though we see her every episode. I loved that we got to see what was going inside of her mind for once, because she’s always so hidden behind half lies and other things. I might be the only one who actually liked Effy’s mental illness. She’s also got one of the best storyarcs I’ve ever seen, though this is majorly questionable in the Skins fandom. She loves deeply, but she’s so afraid to love and getting attached and people leaving her that she fucks it all up before she even gets the chance and falls for all the wrong people to drown out her emotions. She acts like she’s tough, with her drugs and drinking and blasé attitude, but underneath that all is something even more so. The only person in the world she truly seemed to love was her brother Tony, and that all got smashed to bits with the brain damage he received.
She went through that phase where she just didn’t speak, because as strong as Effy tries to seem, she’s affected by things easily, if not much more so than most. She’s been through a lot in the four (five now) years she’s been a character on Skins. Once you get behind that ‘I’m so mysterious, no one can ever love me’ attitude and dig deeper into her character, she’s so sad and beautiful and lost and I don’t think I’ve seen another character just like her on television. I hope you enjoy and I would love any further comments on if you agree with my list or who your top 10 would be.ġ. Effy Stonem from Skins UK (played by Kaya Scodelario) Alive or dead, who cares? Some of the shows I might not watch anymore, some are not on the air anymore. Male, female, other gender, doesn’t matter.
The only rule I had is that each character has to be from a different television show. There’s a handful of them I’ll sit around calling “my baby” or “my son” or “my love” and I fiercely want to protect them, so I decided to mentally make a list of all these characters I unnaturally love.

I sat around thinking of all the TV shows I watch and how attached I get to the characters.
