Close, I liked Marvin. It IS all so depressing.
Sam Gamgee
Frodo: You’ve left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.
Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn’t make fun; I was being serious.
Frodo: So was I.
Sam: Samwise the Brave…
Gets me every time.
I was thinking more of the likes drinking beer and gardening similarities.
Fuck, just your comment got me.
My namesake - Rottcodd.
Rottcodd is a minor character in Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast books. He’s the caretaker of the Hall of Bright Carvings - a gallery of statues high up in a far distant corner of the castle Gormenghast. He lives there contentedly and peacefully by himself and rarely sees anyone, but through a window at one end of the gallery, he can see the castle spread out below him, and can barely make out tiny-with-distance people scurrying around doing… whatever it is that they’re doing.
And yeah - for better or worse, I identify with him so much that I swiped his name.
Love me some Gormenghast!
I saw one episode of the Gormenghast TV series and loved it (I think? I have positive memories about the name, but nothing else). I had no idea there were books. Thanks for mentioning this.
Chandler Bing, Bing!
The layers of sarcasm blocking real emotion. That’s what I identify with.
George Costanza
Mr. Peanutbutter from Bojack Horseman and Bandit from Bluey.
What is this, a crossover episode?!
Oh no! I seem happy! I seem very happy!
Fry ?
Like Fry like Fry!
Donald Duck
I identify most with Phillip J. Fry from Futurama. I don’t know what this says about me though.
Hey, you can do a lot worse than Philip J. Fry (like Zoidberg or Zapp).
Hehe, true!
Naomi from The Expanse. Hence my username, if you know you know. Fleeing from a relationship with a narcissist landed me where I am now in my life, so I feel that episode (called Hard Vacuum).
Bit of a copout, but all the main characters from Dispatches From Elsewhere (though I guess that’s by design).
“I want you to think of yourself… as Peter”
It’s not a show for everyone. But I was quite moved by it.
Mark Corrigan from Peep Show
i’ve alway wanted to be like obi-wan, but that’s more like a role model than “he so me for real”.
The bard in Wandersong. At one point, they state the ideology I live my life by in plain text, and another character points out the flaws in that ideology. Playing that game felt like therapy.
