Fantasical Science Fiction Characterization
To all you purveyors of fantasy and its assumed companion, science fiction, are there characters who can be classified as thus within the the first few paragraphs featuring said character situations: the stage parent living ever-so-vicariously through their child-companion; the stage child, or any child for that instance, who fakes convincing long term illness to get out his or her assigned duties; the hypochondriac who consults not just doctors or herbalists, but astrologists, nutrionalists, psychics, wizards, and the like; the spiritualist who experiences the joys of revelation when he or she has toothaches; and the embezzler, whether information, magic, or money, who avoids the authorities by hiding in some commune where clothing buttons are deemed the device of the devil?
