Who is your fictional self?

[Keroin]

Have you ever come across a character, either in literature or film, which has made you think, “Wow, that’s me”? I’m not referring to an external likeness but shared characteristics, beliefs, value systems, philosophies, etc. If so, which character was it and from what piece of work? If not, or additionally, is there a fictional character you’d choose to be like, if only for a short while?

The character I'd choose to be like is Tony Stark, because he gets to be a colossal dick but has a fucking exoskeleton and gets to fly around the world, banging hot women and drinking.

The characters I'm most like, sadly, are the Dude and the Germans (both from the Big Lebowski). I am a charmingly-hateful blend of the latter's nihilism and the former's apathy. Yeeeeeah.

Fascinating. BTW, I loved the Dude.

[Netzach]

I call M Harold or Roldy and refer to myself as Kumar periodically. He's particular and rule-abiding, I'm selfish and sloppy and spontaneous.

Who is Tony Stark?

TONY STARK BUILT THIS SITE IN A CAVE

WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS

That didn't answer anything. Tony Stark is Iron Man, has the greatest facial hair ever put to paper (it's not over-the-top, it's a simple goatee/moustache/soul-patch combo that works) and was played to perfection by your crush and mine Robert Downey Junior, a man who it is now law in thirteen states to love. I admit, if RDJ attempted to seduce me and I'd been drinking, I'd have a hard time saying no.

...

Sooooo, this post got a little more revealing than I'd intended. Interesting.

Daniel Craig is getting so jealous right now.

I'm in the same boat but with George Clooney. Only man alive that's ever made me wonder like that...

Anyway... OP.... I've been told that I am like Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove.

Maybe it's because I'm big and strong. Maybe because I commune well with nature, especially chipmunks. Maybe because I'm a pretty good cook. Maybe because of my strong chin. Maybe because I'm a little bit spacey... I THINK I HEAR THE ICE CREAM MAN!!

<<<runs outside to street>>>

Bitch can deal. The hierarchy goes RDJ -> Liev Schreiber -> Craig, has ever since I saw the Manchurian Candidate.

 

[PublicAffection]

If I could be any character, I would be Laura Croft. Elegent, rich, adventurous with a touch of sarcastic dry humor.

I am probably much more like Derek Zoolader with a vagina.

As a slightly hetero chick, I commend your picks.

I don't know if I'm like anyone in a book. Meg from Little Women comes to mind immediately, but I'm not as ladylike as she is.

I wanna be like Anita Blake. *sigh*

Really, Liev Schrieber gets your approval as well?

 

[ZRT]

Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon.

In the whole 'disgruntled fuck living out on the beach' part, not the 'super martial artist/commando/gunslinger' part.

OHMAHGOD. I loved Kronk. That movie was made of win.

"Lemme guess, we're about to go over a huge waterfall."
"Yep."
"Sharp rocks at the bottom?"
"Most likely."
"Bring it on."

Yeah, though I'd put him at the end of the trifecta.

 

[sunandshadow]

When I read the book Cyteen by C.J. Cherryh, I totally recognized Arianne Emory as me. That was ten years and one nervous breakdown ago, though. Now I'm more like Salem, the talking cat on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Give me ten more years and I'll be a female Dumbledore.

Since ITW isn't around to say it I will.
Hawt.

Me too.
Rock, paper scissors?

 

[LilyBart]

And as an aside, I am not at all like the fictional character of my screen name. I just really enjoyed the novel.

I will have to think some more on the original post question.

Nuh uh... I had dibbs. But even then that's just a hypothetical...

(PS- My b-day's Aug 10 too)

Lydia---love for Lydia H.E. Bates

Enid from Ghost World, definitely.

Well, you are probably more in his age appropriate group so I'll give you that*. If I can watch.

GC is hypothetical for everyone, I think.

But people born on August 10 are the best. *kiss*

* Even though he is my age. Sorta.

[jockdom]

Somebody in a Bukowski novel, sleazy, drunk and broke.

 

[ShyVixen]

Stephanie Plum from the Janet Evanovich novels is definitely my fictional self. Her attitudes, views and clumsiness match mine.

Who would I like to be? Anita Blake or Doc Jane from JR Ward's Lover Unbound.

Really, not a bad way to be.

I'd do the dude.
