Day 14 of TV Meme: Favorite male character
Day 14 - Favorite male character
Keith: Why is that funny? Don’t you know I think you’re beautiful?
David: No.
Keith: And kind, and smart, and loving? You didn’t know that.
David: No.
Keith: Well, I do.
I have plenty of love for plenty of fictional characters, but no-one has ever taken so much of it as David Fisher from Six Feet Under. He's like a male version of Buffy to me and, in addition to that, he and I are alike at the time when Buffy and I differ.
I love his closed-offness, I love how it wears off when he and Nate (and Claire and even Rico) grow closer, I loved his fear of being rejected, I love his desire to be loved, I love the emotions bubbling under his calm exterior, I love his imagination, I love the way he sometimes resembles Ruth, I love his loneliness, hell, I even love that he loves to sing - all of which I can relate to. And I love his desire to have kids and his own family, his trying to do what he's supposed to, his hidden badass persona (though I hate The Liar and the Whore) - all of which I cannot entire relate to. And I love the rest of what makes him as close to real as possible - all of which I couldn't express with my oh-so-awkward words.
So, um, have a gif!
