Oct. 7th, 2012 02:14 pmI really need a way to remove ideas from my head so I can look at them in real life, kind of like a telepathic holographic system. Naked tatooed circuitry man is quite intriguing in the cold light of day and I want to see what he looks like as opposed to feel that I know what he looks like.
He kind of doesn't look like Spider Jerusalem. As someone rightly pointed out, many things in this world kind of don't look like Spider Jerusalem and we should be thankful for this. But naked tattooed circuitry man kind of doesn't look like Spider Jerusalem in a different way, because he kind of does. But not in a physical sense. He's in the same class, but totally different. They'd probably get along. Although maybe they wouldn't.
I also can't make him fit in my head without adding a small fuzzy animal companion. I'm not sure what it says about me that I can't relate to a grown human being directly, but need to approach them through animal proxy. It makes sense, though. After all, the tall blue fuzzy alien named John has a kitten called Eugene** It makes John more...relatable. In fact, John wouldn't be John if he didn't have Eugene. He'd just be a tall fuzzy blue alien vaguely reminiscent of Jeff Goldblum.
ETA: Naked tattooed circuitry man will remain mute. Rodent will do the talking for him. Yes. Interesting framing device for a story, at least.
ETA2: Damnit, we're back at hamsters with flashcards, aren't we?
**Yes, he still lives in my head. Yes, he and the undead teenager still Fight Crime!
