reasons to love john crichton:
certified grade A science nerd, with an actual phd in astrophysics and who still thinks learning about new alien things is the coolest even after years of fugitive flight, torture and death
worships the ground that aeryn sun walks on, thinks she is the best, calls this tough-as-nails warrior woman ‘baby’ and ‘sweetheart’ and she loves it, would die 1000/10 times for her, is the actual embodiment of “just because you can die for one another doesn’t mean I want you to”, really nice kisser
constantly making good pop culture references including a ridiculous number of star trek and star wars references, the boy is a total nerd but not the gross nerdboy kind, the actually good kind that you want to hang out with at cons and geek out over new movies/comics with, is a buffy summers fan
says “it’s half intuition half feel” when flying his spaceship into a wormhole even though the damn thing is a research module and not built for hairpin maneuvers, is really good at that half intuition/half feel flying nonsense
despite being very good at earth-related science and spacecraft has no fuckin’ clue on how the rest of the universe works and yet instead of throwing a tantrum or complaining about how nobody appreciates him, spends his time from minute one trying to learn and adapt to his new surroundings, is always up for doing risky weird alien shit to help his friends
is insanely human, like he loves his dogs, doesn’t care about american politics, wants to get home to his family and friends but doesn’t want to lose his new life in the process, misses the sun a lot and will actually make your heart grow three sizes
not a generic human or generic american who could have come from anywhere, has a very well grounded background and his character reflects it in specific details, from his southern upbringing and expressions, his family recipes that don’t quite work in space, and why he became an astronaut in the first place
remains open to new ways of thinking, is willing to admit when he has screwed up, isn’t exactly sure what he wants but doesn’t act like it’s anybody else’s fault, gets very very very tired of being on the run, will in turn accept other runaways and cast-offs into his new little extended family with no questions
looks equally good in the leather of his real life and the plaid shirt and jeans of his inner mind, like, really good
he dreamed of outer space, and then he got there and he dreamed of earth
