Character Filibuster	comment	This trope happens when a character has started talking and just... won't... stop. Discussing and ranting for far longer than any normal person who's not a college sophomore would, they launch into well thought-out and outlined philosophical essays, complete with introductions and supporting points. Something any normal person might take weeks to write, rewrite, and organize before presenting, this character seemingly makes up off the top of their head. Not only is the length of the speech generally unrealistic (provided that the scene is not in court or during a speech, when it is usually acceptable, or in a situation where a character's only viable option is to stand up and just keep talking), the audience is amazingly quiet: never interrupting or leaving, and even remembering specific points during their speech. Bonus points if no real time has seemed to pass (for example, it is still before breakfast when the discussion has ended, when it easily took over an hour to read). In literature, this is indicative that the work was probably written in the Victorian era. When the character is explaining the author's views, it's also an Author Filibuster. Compare Speech-Centric Work for works which feature a great amount of dialogue or monologue, and which may feature not just one but several of these. See also Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic and Talking Is a Free Action. And God help you if this trope overlaps with Motor Mouth. When a character is filibustering for an in-universe reason, they are Holding the Floor. Usually becomes a Wall of Text if used in a comic. Can be a Fridge Logic result of a story having an orally-based Framing Device â€” "Wait, is he still telling this tale to the guys round the campfire? How did he pronounce the chapter breaks?"note One way would be that this would be a break for the storyteller/listeners to go to the bathroom, sleep, eat, etc., or that that was simply the amount of story told each evening â€” so the first campfire we see and the last are 30 chapters/days apart. This trope is often considered to be a writing pitfall, but not always. After all, the opinion any specific reader has of any Character Filibuster is usually ("usually" being the key word here) a product of whether or not the reader agrees with the point being made, whether the speech itself fleshes out the character in an engaging way, or if the point being made is petty enough to be funny.

That's including the creature's monologue. Percy Bysshe Shelley decided to improves his wife's prose by inserting monologues of his own personal philosophy into the book. This results in page long essays on Mr. Shelley's complaints of New Media Are Evil inserted into a university professor's lecture, or his political views inserted into letters between friends.

Character Filibuster / int_27831967	comment	In an episode of Parks and Recreation, a character played by guest star Patton Oswalt engages in a political filibuster that consists of him offering his thoughts for the plot of future Star Wars films- which basically consists of a Massive Multiplayer Crossover with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the speech was significantly shortened for the actual episode, a full length version (which goes on for almost 9 minutes) was released on the internet prior to the episode, and went on to become somewhat memetic. This is particularly notable because Oswalt improvised the entire thing, making it a good example of what a realistic filibuster sounds like.

Character Filibuster / int_468bebb0	comment	Some of the later Discworld books feature at least one of these: The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents features a brief rant from Malicia about how stupid and childish the Mr. Bunnsy books (Discworld's equivalent to the works of Beatrix Potter) are. But since Malicia is an unlikeable, Wrong Genre Savvy know-it-all (not to mention she doesn't care that she's inadvertently dispirited a rat who regarded Mr. Bunnsy Has an Adventure as a Bible for rats), it comes off as a Take That! towards the people who have that sort of attitude towards children's literature. Mr Nutt, from Unseen Academicals, speaks in multi-paragraph lectures. There's even a bit of an explanation for why Talking Is a Free Action: people tend to get a bit dazed by it. Lord Vetinari gets a few big speeches himself, like his discussion with Drumknott on the nature of freedom ("Freedom may be the natural state of mankind, but so is sitting in a tree and eating your dinner while it's still wriggling.") in Going Postal. William de Worde goes on one or two of these in The Truth, usually about how important serious 'news' (as opposed to 'olds', stuff that people expect and know) actually is. At one point, Sacharissa calls him out for sneering at 'olds', and people caring about little things (such as proper classification of budgies vs parrots) rather than big things, like politics, in part because while he's self-consciously estranged from his Blue Blood family, his relative poverty etc is by choice and he's from a family that's used to running things. His retort is that someone has to care, because while most people don't care about Vetinari/don't think he does much, the important thing is that what he does is "not a lot of harm", and the city has had far worse rulers than him in living memory (later shown in Night Watch with Lords Winder and Snapcase). If no one cares and no one does anything, then they'll get another just like that. Interestingly, both are shown to have a point - William is right that the truth is important (because there is a conspiracy by some unpleasant figures to replace Vetinari with someone pliable), but as he eventually concedes, Sacharissa's right in that he's an arrogant aristocrat at heart (at the end of the book, he learns how to use it for good). Granny Weatherwax gets one in A Hat Full of Sky, going on about how Miss Level helping people in need even when they're stupid and ungrateful is what witchcraft is all about, and not Mrs. Earwig's "wizard magic in a dress". She even admits afterwards she got a bit carried away.

At one point, his text actually gets smaller and unreadable. There is a thread on MSPA Forums applying quirks of one person to another person's speech. Naturally, someone wrote out John Galt's speech in Kankri's quirk.

In other words, houses were a safe investment. Now you know. It comes across as particularly silly because he's speaking in a slow, Erudite Stoner-type voice (without all the Erudite Stoner uhs, likes, and mans), is freshly separated from two-thirds of himself, and just popped out of a weird time-space portal thing.

Character Filibuster / int_755fadab	comment	Haruhi Suzumiya: Itsuki Koizumi constantly, constantly explains complex philosophical/metaphysical (or sometimes physics or math) theories without any reason. Usually, this is made rather creepy, not only because of his smile, but also because the stuff he talks makes you feel uneasy. But all in all this is actually awesome because the person he typically tells it to, Kyon, doesn't give a crap. And if Koizumi really does make Kyon feel uneasy about it, he will just say "Just kidding, that's not what I really think, at all." Even in their home-made movie he lapses into this, taking up almost a minute of screentime. Kyon himself also slips into this at times, though usually when he's the Character Narrator rather than in his actual actions. Inverted by Kyon himself in one of the later novels where he wishes he could instantly come up with a massive speech to make Mikuru feel better about how useless she is, but he cannot think of a thing to say that will not spoil the future. She thanks him for the effort, though, and cheers up. Defied at one point. Koizumi asks Kyon to relate the events of a particular day, and has to stop him when his paragraph about how cute Kyon's sister's classmate was started getting a bit too long.

Lestat does this from time to time, the worst example being all of Chapter 16 in Blood Canticle, wherein he stops the plot to explain why he's in love with a character despite their complete lack of chemistry. Lestat also takes time in the preface of Blood Canticle to complain about the fans' reaction to Memnoch the Devil, saying more or less that he gave them a glimpse into the mysteries of Heaven and Hell and all they wanted was "the fancy fiend" with glamorous leather and heavy motorcycles. He assures them that there's plenty of traditional badassery to go around but that he'll get to it when he's good and ready. Then again, that might be a full-on Author Filibuster, as well as Chapter 7 of the same novel, which has nothing to do with the plot or the series, but is a three page rave about the new Pope and some Saint in Mexico.

When he tries to give a speech later in the episode, he's horrified at his stereotypical black trailer trash/ghetto audience and how much of an embarrassment they're being, before launching into a long n-word-laden Take That! rant against them, eventually wandering off into other topics like BET and Soul Plane. It probably doubles as an Author Filibuster as well, seeing as BET and Soul Plane are frequent targets on the show.

It is sometimes quite jarring to see Hiroki filibustering at around 30-35 minutes into the movie, while for the rest of it he was an extreme woobie.

Character Filibuster / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire contains a number of these due to its Doorstopper length. Tropes Are Not Bad, as characters often use the time to explain motives that otherwise might have gotten lost in the shuffle or express views that readers will probably sympathize with to help prevent the story from being too unbearably dark. Septon Meribald's 'Broken Man' speech (about military deserters) in A Feast for Crows is a notable example. A Feast for Crows has an example in the chapter where the Ironborn gather to choose their new king. One of the candidates, Dunstan Drumm, makes a long speech about the history of his house and all the great deeds the Drumms have done throughout the centuries. It bores all the attendees and his support evaporates— especially when they see the meager offering of treasure. Thankfully for the reader, the speech is summed up and not written out, except for the beginning.

Given that Goodkind was converted to Objectivism by reading Ayn Rand's books, this shouldn't come off as surprising.

Character Filibuster / int_a656a587	comment	William de Worde goes on one or two of these in The Truth, usually about how important serious 'news' (as opposed to 'olds', stuff that people expect and know) actually is. At one point, Sacharissa calls him out for sneering at 'olds', and people caring about little things (such as proper classification of budgies vs parrots) rather than big things, like politics, in part because while he's self-consciously estranged from his Blue Blood family, his relative poverty etc is by choice and he's from a family that's used to running things. His retort is that someone has to care, because while most people don't care about Vetinari/don't think he does much, the important thing is that what he does is "not a lot of harm", and the city has had far worse rulers than him in living memory (later shown in Night Watch with Lords Winder and Snapcase). If no one cares and no one does anything, then they'll get another just like that. Interestingly, both are shown to have a point - William is right that the truth is important (because there is a conspiracy by some unpleasant figures to replace Vetinari with someone pliable), but as he eventually concedes, Sacharissa's right in that he's an arrogant aristocrat at heart (at the end of the book, he learns how to use it for good).

Character Filibuster / int_b9b796cf	comment	It may be important exposition, but it's confusing and it never ever stops, so the rallying cry of many Fate/stay night players on the third day has become "SHUT UP, KOTOMINE." This continues throughout the game as necessary. In particular, at the end, Kotomine talks about the nature of good and evil, but at that point the "Shut up, Kotomine" changes in nature a little. It gets lampshaded in an early Tiger Dojo (one of the ones for making a Too Dumb to Live choice) where Ilya claims to have been using the ctrl key to fast-forward through all the exposition, and Taiga says that it may be boring, but you do need to listen to it, sadly. Further lampshaded in Heaven's Feel, the route in which Kotomine has the most active presence. Both Rin and Shirou complain about his long-winded speeches at different parts of the story.

One example is Dumbledore's Motive Rant regarding his bitterness over the stultifying culture of the Wizarding World that discorages intellectual advancement and exploration. Later, this is usually done by Stephen Strange, though in his case there's usually the saving grace of the fact that a) he needs to explain quite a few things, b) what he says when he deigns to elaborate is often a matter of life or death (or worse), and c) people don't tend to interrupt him because they're too busy listening very carefully to exactly what he's actually saying rather than what he may seem to be saying.

Character Filibuster / int_ec28245c	comment	Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. While he isn't the voice box of Akira's personal beliefs, he is known to wax on and on about his Saiyan heritage and his grudge against Goku. The obvious example would be during his second fight with Goku as Majin Vegeta. Twice in that same fight he goes on a long-winded speech about why Goku has humiliated him, shamed him, etc. He even gets one more speech in during the final battle with Kid Buu as he explains to himself (and the audience) why he now can finally admit that Goku is better than he.

Character Filibuster / int_ec9965ca	comment	Early in The Culture novel Use of Weapons, protagonist Cheradenine Zakalwe confronts an "Ethnarch" on a primitive planet who has been subjecting other ethnicities to forced relocation by train and mass executions by sneaking into that Ethnarch's bedroom at night. While holding the Ethnarch at gunpoint, Zakalwe breaks into a long explanation about why this is bad, who the Culture is, and what they do to people who indulge in such abuses, and how he should Beware the Nice Ones. The Ethnarch attempts to shut him up with a pistol hidden in his bed, but Zakalwe had already removed all the bullets from it. He continues to explain that the Culture will only subject him to a comfortable imprisonment rather than death. This turns out to be only Zakalwe invoking a long-winded Hope Spot for the Ethnarch, saying that he went freelance years ago, then shooting him in the head.

Character Filibuster / int_eedac02b	comment	Durarara!!: Izaya counts, but more so in the light novels. In the anime, when it's revealed Earthworm did indeed capture him, he goes on a monologue to taunt her. In the light novel, he spends almost the entire book without a single line, and once he finally starts speaking, he doesn't stop and goes off on random tangents. One of the reasons he hired Namie was to have someone to tell all his plans to. This also happens to run in the family. Online, Kururi often hits the word limit in the chat despite usually being silent in real life, and the opposite for Mairu, who is a complete chatterbox.

He normally tends to shoot from the hip in his speeches, but at one point a casual remark from a sergeant about "darkies" leads Chamberlain to replay with an eloquent speech about how it doesn't matter whether or not the South is correct about their rights being violated as long they hypocritically deny these same rights to their black population, and thus the North has just cause to prosecute the war.

When Mr. Hippo kills you, he starts rambling on and on for at least four minutes, apologizing for killing you, explaining his philosophy on The Problem with Fighting Death, and then segueing into a barely-related anecdote about his friendship with Orville the Elephant that often subtly pokes fun at fans who over-analyze the game's lore. He even says during one of these stories that nobody wants to listen to someone ramble on and on without ever getting to the point.

Character Filibuster / int_f0a86c12	comment	The entire run of How I Met Your Mother is one long character filibuster of a 51-year-old Ted Mosby insisting upon telling his son and daughter the whole story of how he met their mother. Which means not just telling them how they were introduced and how they fell in love, but all the backstory for his character development up to that point: why did they fall in love? To answer that, Ted paints a picture of his personality and life, and in order to do that, Ted takes it upon himself to not describe, but demonstrate, through Show, Don't Tell, all the events important to his development, all the backstory explaining the events, all the unrelated events that are essential to understanding that backstory, all the character traits of his friends that explain those unrelated events, and all the even more unrelated events that illustrate the character traits that explain the unrelated events that explain the backstory that explains the important events that constitute the character development that led Ted to her. All of which is played out in explicit, detailed, semi-chronological, tangent-filled story-form. Luckily, the comedy, the sitcom format and the mysteries makes it interesting and entertaining to us, but the poor kids...

Oliver would sometimes go into a long winded speech about how great America is and/or how it was great because of farmers accompanied by a fife playing either "Yankee Doodle" or "Battle Hymn of the Republic".

His biggest one has got to be the time he spent an entire episode parked at the exit of a parking garage refusing to pay the $2.00 fee because he didn't actually park after entering it, while bending the ears of the ticket guard's and the angry crowd behind him about stupid rules. Niles, who is stuck in the car with him, calls him an idiot for fifteen minutes before Frasier finally realizes that maybe he's wrong, and he should stop feeling the need to filibuster all the time, leading to this priceless exchange:

One lazy afternoon Augustine St. Clare delivers a monologue about his upbringing, his twin brother, the differences between him and his brother, and his dislike of slavery in general (though he still owns slaves). It goes for pages and pages, but his cousin never interrupts. The annotator of the annotated edition even confesses that it makes his eyes glaze. But if your eyes don't glaze over, it can be quite beautiful even though it's improbable.
