Close, I liked Marvin. It IS all so depressing.

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.

Fuck, just your comment got me.

[-] FatLegTed@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago

I was thinking more of the likes drinking beer and gardening similarities.

[-] Rottcodd@literature.cafe 10 points 11 months ago

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!

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 9 points 11 months ago

Mr. Peanutbutter from Bojack Horseman and Bandit from Bluey.

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

What is this, a crossover episode?!

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

Oh no! I seem happy! I seem very happy!

I identify most with Phillip J. Fry from Futurama. I don't know what this says about me though.

[-] TwinTusks@outpost.zeuslink.net 4 points 11 months ago

Hey, you can do a lot worse than Philip J. Fry (like Zoidberg or Zapp).

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 11 months ago

Hehe, true!

[-] Transcendant@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 6 points 11 months ago

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).

[-] Susaga@ttrpg.network 5 points 11 months ago

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.

Mark Corrigan from Peep Show

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

i've alway wanted to be like obi-wan, but that's more like a role model than "he so me for real".

Not in a good way. Perturabo from 40k. While reading a book about him, I realized that I have the same kind of thought process just like him and that's bad. I'm glad that I got a call out by the book and tried to correct that kind of thought ever since.

He's the kind of guy who would agree and really push through to get shit done with no complaints, but wish that people will start prizing him on their own after a long while and will get salty if he didn't get that kind of admiration.

Lawrence "Crash" Davis.

Konstantin Levin from Anna Karenina, or Henry David Thoreau in Walden.

Living a life of quiet desperation?

I fully get that.
