My Top Five Pop Culture Comfort Characters

So many fandoms. So many characters. But only five will make the list. Take your guesses now, because I bet you can guess them all. I talk about them ALL the time, hahaha!

5. Snoopy

Snoopy is one of those characters that has just ALWAYS been there. Of course, he is always around during the holidays for the different Peanuts holiday specials. But the Apple TV show is also adorable as well! Snoopy is just the epitome of happiness and joy. He's always enjoying the little things, and just being his silly little goofy self. If I'm having a bad day, I always look to him to cheer up :)

4. Marty McFly

My FAVORITE movie of all time is Back To The Future! So of course, Marty has to make this list. Marty isn't afraid to be himself, and fight for what he believes in. When I need the reminder to do that for myself, Marty is a great character to turn to. He's his goofy self, and he even learns to make the best of a bad situation (I mean, come on. He was literally stuck in the 50s for a week! Sure, that must have been stressful, but try and tell me he did not have a good time, hahaha!).

3. Rapunzel

She's a dreamer, an artist, kind hearted, loving, caring, and above all, has such a pure heart, even after everything she has gone through. Rapunzel is one of those characters that I am constantly striving to be. I adore her and her reminder to keep dreaming and keep doing. That your trauma and past does not define you. To embrace your artistic creativity and strive to be kind towards others. I adore her <3

2. Bluey

Some people may say that this is a kids show, and it technically WAS made to be a kid show. But I think that Bluey has been able to help heal so many people's inner child (mine included!) and I very often find myself putting Bluey on in the background while I'm getting ready for my day, or working on a project. Bluey is learning about the world as a child, but is such a great reminder that at heart, we are all just kiddos. Thank you for showing me that I can still be a kid, Bluey 🥹

1. Spider-Man

I mean, come ON. If you didn't guess that Spider-Man was going to be on the list when you first started reading this blog post, then I'm doing something wrong here. Spider-Man is a HUGE comfort character for me. I love his ability to make the best of a bad situation, and he is just like us. Trying to figure out his way through life. And like I said earlier with Rapunzel, he is constantly looking to try and help people, to brighten their days and lend a hand when he can. Even Peter Parker out of the suit is just as kind hearted as he is with the mask on. And I love that through all of that, Spidey reminds us that it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them. He isn't perfect. And that's what makes him so special and lovable.


Two dogs, a princess, a time traveler and a super hero! I'd say this is quite the list here, hahah! I would love to hear about some of your favorite comfort characters! Feel free to leave a comment below! And I'll catch you guys in the next blog :)
