Characters to Whom I Relate
Tagged by @tanosoka and idk what other rules there are. If you see this, consider yourself tagged!
Joan Bright, The Bright Sessions
Listen, if you’re a big sister, you can relate to Joan probably. I may have postponed my PhD in psychology for a few years while I get my health under control, but my goal is still to be in Joan’s job someday. And I would definitely recruit my patients into a secret army if I had to do it to save my little brother. I don’t drink scotch but I do drink wine and honestly I do drink it at work sometimes too (when I’m recording at home, not anything else, lol). RED WINE IS GOOD FOR DRYING OUT YOUR MOUTH, DON’T JUDGE! lol
I don’t think I could cut it as a Marine very well (something Holly and I have in common), but I could maybe be okay as a hacker. And we’ve been through some similar trauma and similar life stuff, especially this whole extreme poverty deal, lol. I also date terrible people and nerd out about sci fi and drink too much and feed cheeseburgers to cats and have meltdowns at the library. I love Holly but also I hope my life goes a lot better than hers.
I think I relate way more to Oak than Holly? I’m kind of both of them. But listen, if anyone hurt my girlfriend or sister or anyone close to me like that, yeah, I would go on a vengeance-fueled murder rampage too. But sometimes you’ve just gotta step back and let that person fight their own battles, or else in the process of trying to make them feel better, you could destroy their whole life. Well-intentioned but still shitty. Been there. I’m not really the “WOO LET’S JUMP OUT OF AIRPLANES!!!” type but I’d at least try speed if I didn’t have heart problems. And I like to think I’m okay at leading teams.
Antigone Funn, Wooden Overcoats
Listen, I would never leave the house except for movie night either. Homebodies working from home and reading porn rather than dating, UNITE. Also I don’t brush my hair a lot, and I make the most ridiculous jokes to my crushes, and I know my way around a corpse thanks to lots of anatomy and physiology labs, so hey!
