For me is baymax, the disney character.

Since I saw the movie for the first time I felt identified with said robot, I'm an engineering student, and also very chubby, i like to hug and to care for others too, not very agile or fast too.

Daria is pretty much a wittier (but straight and less nerdy) version of high school me.

The Pioneer from Satisfactory is my spirit animal.

Just happy to build factories and then watch them go. Doesn't need any ongoing drama other than expanding and optimizing production. Clearly enjoying just building alone, from all the playful animations.

Hitori Gotoh (Bocchi) from Bocchi the Rock.

I’m not a girl, but the intense social anxiety is the same. I think I’m more that future version of her that she envisioned - the one that was drinking beer and reminiscing about the friends that she used to have. I used to play guitar though I invested more of my time into art rather than music.

bada la la la la la to you! 😁

Though I'm not sure that I identify with Baymax as much as I desperately wish I had one who would be there to care for me.

I think Tina Belcher uhhhhhhhhhh-ing is probably the most seen I've felt in a bit of popular media lol

A bit obscure, but Jeremy Goodwin on Sports Night (which should've been on for more than two seasons). His mannerisms, difficulty picking-up on non-verbal cues, deep interest on nerdy topics, and lack of confidence in navigating career progression...it's (almost) creepy how closely we mirror each other.

Richard from Silicon Valley. Just the sensation of never being in total control of any situation and then just changing who I am in any situation just playing the cards in dealt in the worst possible way.

Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley, because they stole my identity

Hello fellow trekkie.

Just on a general level? Dragons from any media that makes them intelligent.

I really do relate to not particularly enjoying the company of most others, having a collection of things I consider to be very precious, and enjoying spending large amounts of time doing nothing.

~~Which is why I keep rejecting so much media that does have dragons because they keep either getting killed off brutally or treated as unfeeling monsters~~

For me definitely Harry from resident alien 👽

That smile.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

That makes you a leaf on the wind too.

Definetly Eugene Onegin (apart from social life). I just don't do anything most of the time, even tho I'm inteligent and at least for my age decently educated.

Vincent from Katherine. I might not be a drunk or cheating on anyone, but the aimless life he leads feels very familiar.

"Why live a life without doing what you want? That's just a recipe for a life of misery."
