I'm the Kwisatz Haderach!

Well no, but I did a quiz that told me that I’m that kind of messed up. I suppose I could always be Piter De Vries instead.

When I was little I wanted to be a Guild Navigator, then a Mentat, then ruler of House Harkonnen but all these quizzes keep telling me that I’m actually Paul Atreides. )

A couple of brief thoughts on fandom character preferences

Because my porridge is too hot at the moment and that’s as good enough a reason as any.

It occurred to me today that there are generally two types of fanishness directed at various characters, there are more but for the moment I’m only going to address the most visible two.
The two sides being that either a character is admired and worshiped as an idealised, perfect archetype completely abstractly (Goddess Yuna syndrome) or as a hodgepodge of sexual traits (Lara Croft has a face? syndrome).
