Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

Re: Whom do you identify yourself with?

[personal profile] intrigueing 2013-01-12 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I do identify with some fictional characters, but they're usually not my favorites. I get the feeling that this is rare for some reason? Like, most people say a character is their favorite because they identify with him/her, which...okay, yeah, I definitely understand that, but I don't understand why it's so pervasive. I do love characters I identify with a whole lot, and they often bring me a huge amount of joy because I relate to them so well, but I usually don't find them very interesting as a character, if you know what I mean.

Like, for example, in the West Wing fandom, I identify with Toby Ziegler so much that every single scene of his pretty much results in me laughing constantly and going "why can't I say stuff that clever when I THINK those EXACT kinds of things five hundred times a day?" (in fact, I probably identify with him more than any other fictional character ever), but my favorite characters are Josh and Leo, neither of whom I identify with very much and therefore find far more fascinating to watch and think about.
