4	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_02_25_at_120805_am.png]]
5	[[caption-width-right:350: Lanzillotta as himself]]
6
7	A gloomy, sometimes-suicidal, heroin-addicted novelist and freelance writer from a bizarre old Catholic family. Weirdly fond of Creator/EvelynWaugh and Creator/NancyMitford. Claims to be both an atheist and Roman Revival Polytheist (somehow).
8
9	* BungledSuicide: He’s had many of these over the years, as detailed in this darkly comedic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wss1eFxEQcA&feature=youtu.be]] video.
10	* CloudCuckoolander: Some of his rants are pretty strange. At one point he goes on a mini-rant about his brother's extremely pale skin... and claims people can "see through" him. Also, his obsession with "being contrary" (doing the opposite of whatever people want or expect).
11	* DomesticAbuse: His ex, Matt, allegedly engaged in this. He very nearly breaks down crying in the videos about their relationship.
12	* FunctionalAddict: In the videos (especially this playlist [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKUKTz0HLxw&list=PLZx99nCSSYwM7l4BMJoBiCg6zcfLMxAzc]]), ML Lanzillotta claims to be a high-functioning heroin junkie.
13	* HatesTheirParent: Lanzillotta despises his mother and refers to her as a "bitch" numerous times. Many of his off-topic rants relate to his mom.
14	* LargeHam: Lanzillotta sure does make a lot of wacky faces... and he can be pretty dramatic at times.
15	* QuirkyCurls: His wild, coiled hair and eccentric personality certainly fit this trope.
16	%% * RaisedCatholic: To his disgust.
17	* SlutShaming: Does this to Cleopatra ("that Greco-Egyptian tramp"), of all people.
18	* TheUnfavorite: Apparently, his parents prefer his "nerdy" brother. Though Lanzillotta might not be the most reliable narrator.
19
20	!! Tallulah the Flapper
21	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_02_25_at_120729_am.png]]
22	[[caption-width-right:350: Lanzillotta as Tallulah]]
23
24	A wild, wacky 1920s party girl. Her playlist can be viewed here [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZx99nCSSYwNT6v0FWv2SL--2bt36EWZs]].
25
26	* AddledAddict: Tallulah really likes cocaine... and seems a bit mixed-up, possibly from all the drugs and parties and sleepless nights.
27	* DeliberateMonochrome: Her vlogs are always in stark black and white.
28	* {{Main/Expy}}: According to Creator/MLLanzillotta, she's supposed to be a cross between Tallulah Bankhead and Agatha Runcible from ''Literature/VileBodies''.
29	%% * TheFlapper: Or so her name implies.
30	%% * GenteelInterbellumSetting

36	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_02_25_at_12238_am.png]]
37	[[caption-width-right:350: Lanzillotta as L. Livia Rufa]]
38
39	The serious, shy, honorable part of M. L. Lanzillotta's mind... the Superego, the Spock, the part that convinces the rest to behave in a civilized manner. Her goals include marrying a centurion, persuading the other personas to quit drugs, and writing a Great American Novel. Rufa's videos can be found here [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZx99nCSSYwOhVufuKhU89oGlEO3nLV8p]].
40
41	%% * AmbitionIsEvil: Believes this very passionately.
42	%% * AncientRome
43	* {{Fangirl}}: A great admirer of "the Deified Claudius", thanks to [[Literature/IClaudius Robert Graves]], even though she's technically opposed to anyone resembling a king (after all, monarchs are tyrants... and tyrants are un-Roman).
44	* GratuitousLatin: She's fond of this. Her video's summaries always begin with "Salvete" and end with "Valete".
45	%% * SitcomArchNemesis: Despises Billie, the Id.
46	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are two Romans named Lucia... and both are played by ML Lanzillotta. Luckily, this one goes by the name Rufa.
47
48	!! Glasses Girl
49	A young woman who believes her plush toys are alive, even when they remind her that they aren't. Her playlist can be found here[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouRkcaXmlVM&list=PLZx99nCSSYwOHkNP4WKOvN_Uew6Uoc8z7]].
50	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_02_27_at_93748_pm.png]]
51	[[caption-width-right:350: Lanzillotta as Glasses Girl, addressing Aloysius the Dalek]]
52
53	* CloudcuckooLander: Glasses Girl often has strange, reference-filled conversations with her plush toys (Aloysius the Dalek, Jeremy aka Lamby Lamb, and Alison aka Mexico Doll). She's probably the strangest character.
54
55	!! Trixie the Usherette
56	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_02_25_at_121028_am.png]]

58
59	* {{Expy}}: Her costume and name are supposedly based on the Usherette from ''The Rocky Horror Show'' (replaced in [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow the movie]] by the infamous Lips).
60	* {{Fangirl}}: She sure likes movies...
61
62	!! Lucia the Accidental Time-Traveler
