sorcyressCharacters I relate to day 4: The how did I not put this as day 1, seriously? The one, the only, the (no seriously, thank god he's the only how would we cope otherwise) Zaphod Beeblebrox I.
With this, we must confront one of the traits that keeps popping up: I relate to characters who are ridiculously self-assured. Not necessarily arrogant, but completely aware of and comfortable with who and what they are. Zaphod is the pinnacle of the trope --I own a button that says "I survived the Total Perspective Vortex" because just as he did, I would. I have no trouble believing that I am one hoopy frood.
Zaphod actually served as a denizen for a time --maybe two years? was he around before Hyde1?-- which means he lurked in the back of my head and mixed drinks. He left sometime during college, which is okay --there's only so much ego my brainspace can hold, and it's better that his and mine never had to formally clash. Gods, I love that man's ego.
Zaphod is the worst-dressed sentient being in the universe. He has won this award _seven times_. Do you better understand my extensive and elaborate wardrobe if I point out that I am naturally Zaphodic in nature? True, my personal style has been sophisticating these past few months2, but my aesthetic appreciation will never stop trending towards "god that looks heinous...I love it!"
Besides the ego...well, okay, in some ways there's not a lot to Zaphod but the ego, but besides the ego, Zaphod has a BIG personality. He doesn't waste time with little piddling dreams --he's going to become president of the galaxy and steal a really keen ship. He's impulsive and mischievous and the best bang since the big one. I can't drink for arse, but besides that, I think he'd approve of me.
Zaphod Beeblebrox: The first character I've mentioned who I'd date, as well as be. Oh, and in case you were wondering, heads are side by side, third arm is basically always visible, and he's blonde. And yes, eyepatch. So, mostly miniseries, but with certain aspects of the movie. I'll sketch a picture tomorrow, I hope. In the meantime, you can go ahead and look at stuff I drew about ten years ago.

MOOP!
1: And yes, Hyde will definitely show up at some point, although it'll be interesting because he's around since I *don't* relate to him. Sorta.
2: NYFF was the first time I felt like my personal aesthetic style really perfectly clicked. It's been trending upwards from there. My slow descent into nothing but pumpkin colours full time all the time has been very helpful in this regard.
Postscript: If you're viewing this entry on dreamwidth, you're seeing an icon of me wearing a movie-zaphod outfit, drawn by mek aaaaaages ago. I got the original recently, I should scan and post it --it's me and Zaph arm in arm. Zaphod has a juicebox because...our collective canon for our respective headmates was weird, okay?
