      Frodo: You’ve left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.

      Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn’t make fun; I was being serious.

      Frodo: So was I.

      Sam: Samwise the Brave…

      Gets me every time.

    Chandler Bing, Bing!

    The layers of sarcasm blocking real emotion. That’s what I identify with.

    My namesake - Rottcodd.

    Rottcodd is a minor character in Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast books. He’s the caretaker of the Hall of Bright Carvings - a gallery of statues high up in a far distant corner of the castle Gormenghast. He lives there contentedly and peacefully by himself and rarely sees anyone, but through a window at one end of the gallery, he can see the castle spread out below him, and can barely make out tiny-with-distance people scurrying around doing… whatever it is that they’re doing.

    And yeah - for better or worse, I identify with him so much that I swiped his name.

      I saw one episode of the Gormenghast TV series and loved it (I think? I have positive memories about the name, but nothing else). I had no idea there were books. Thanks for mentioning this.

    I identify most with Phillip J. Fry from Futurama. I don’t know what this says about me though.

    Bit of a copout, but all the main characters from Dispatches From Elsewhere (though I guess that’s by design).

    “I want you to think of yourself… as Peter”

    It’s not a show for everyone. But I was quite moved by it.

    Naomi from The Expanse. Hence my username, if you know you know. Fleeing from a relationship with a narcissist landed me where I am now in my life, so I feel that episode (called Hard Vacuum).

    The bard in Wandersong. At one point, they state the ideology I live my life by in plain text, and another character points out the flaws in that ideology. Playing that game felt like therapy.
