Lowkey Want An Animated H2g2 Series...

I’m pretty sure Hyper Sprinkles is just cocaine……

Finally, someone says it! I've been doing nothing but watching a new show every two weeks because of a lich's curse myself.

for the last time i DON'T have ADHD!!!!!!! i'm just always daydreaming because of the witch's curse, i make impulse choices because of the wizard's curse, i only forget things because of the sorcerer's curse, i get everywhere late because of the amulet's curse, my place is a mess because of the skeleton's curse, and i'm tapping my foot because i'm feeling the rhythm of life babey! what do you MEAN you found my protective runes in the laundry again

one of my favorite things about the h2g2 series is how much arthur just does what other ppl want him to do. we don’t even really know what arthur actually wants bc everything he does—even the things he thinks he wants—is an idea put in his head by someone else. most of it is blatant, like ford telling arthur what to do or arthur following along with fenchurch, but the subtleties of douglas adams’ writing in regards to the things arthur ‘wants’ is so good. arthur’s internal dialogue tells him he wants this—he wants to stop traveling, he wants to settle down, he wants to go back to earth—but his actual behavior always betrays him. as soon as he gets what he ‘wants,’ arthur becomes bored. every time. he looks for the next distraction and clings to it. he’s never been happy on earth not once in the series, but he tells himself he is. it’s not like he’s happy out in space either though. when he tries settling down in mostly harmless he can’t bear it. he doesn’t stop traveling until he’s forced to and stuck on lamuella where he convinces himself for years that he’s happy there, but he only tries to convince himself bc he doesn’t think he has another option. it’s only when trillian arrives and informs arthur that there were always ppl out there who could’ve saved him but chose not to that arthur becomes upset about his situation.

i don’t think this behavior makes arthur suitable for hitchiking even though he’s good at it, but i think it’s about arthur’s concept of security. he does what he’s told bc it makes him feel safe. he held on to his robe for so long bc it made him feel secure. he grows attached to his wristwatch in mostly harmless bc it makes him feel tethered. arthur attaches himself to items or ideas that he believes are stable. arthur doesn’t need to settle down, he just needs security.

Gah, me too
