I Have Been Watching A Few Shows Lately And There Is A Type Of Recurring Character Type That I Enjoy
I have been watching a few shows lately and there is a type of recurring character type that I enjoy which I like to call The Appreciator.
Appreciators enjoy the small things especially food and they are always be vocal about what they like in an exaggerated way, but they are not pretentious or obnoxious about it.
My two favourite appreciators are Dale Cooper (Twin Peaks) and Senshi (Dungeon Meshi).
Dale Cooper is constantly proclaiming about how good his coffee and pie is and has several food-related catchphrases. At the start of season one he was loud about the scent of the pine trees and threatened to inhale them at one point.
Senshi is rather single-minded about food, which I appreciate. He enjoys making it and teaching the process to others, which I love. In fact, I love the whole show because of how often the characters are expressing their appreciation for foods.
I personally love it when people are very appreciative of good things, because it means that they living and are merely consuming something for its constituent parts. You will see people saying things like “I like consuming this type of media” or compliment a meal for its nutritional balance, which is a little sad if that’s the only thing they have to say about it.
Personally, even if I have had the same delicious meal many times, I will still say what I liked about it.

You might think working out at home would take less time because no commute or waiting for machines but, you have to factor in all the time you spend peacocking in front of the mirror admiring your pump fully nude at home.
i wish. i could still get turned on by Images alone, but fate (or maybe estrogen) has dictated that i require accompanying paragraphs with convoluted plots and perverse psychosexual overtones to even start to feel anything
And there was also a man. My manager, who openly admitted to having three relationships but not telling any of them about each other. But I expect less decency of men. I had a lot of fun telling him No and that I’m Only Interested In Women.
*People who hit on you, hoping to date you or simply hook up.
I want to kiss my girlfriend, in public, without fear. (ca. 1980)
A slight breeze at this moment sprang up, and the great sails began to move, seeing which Don Quixote exclaimed, "Though ye flourish more arms than the giant Briareus, ye have to reckon with me."
So saying, and commending himself with all his heart to his lady Dulcinea, imploring her to support him in such a peril, with lance in rest and covered by his buckler, he charged at Rocinante's fullest gallop and fell upon the first mill that stood in front of him; but as he drove his lance-point into the sail the wind whirled it round with such force that it shivered the lance to pieces, sweeping with it horse and rider, who went rolling over on the plain, in a sorry condition.
- Chapter VIII, Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
Just so you know… There is no “the queen”. Why?
There are so, so many queens.
They make up half of the human population.
We call them “women”.
Do you have a murder case? Well guess what, the victim can now testify in court.
I’d be 100% a necromancer if possible. But I wouldn’t be the type that brings back mindless hordes of zombies. There are plenty of other ways to be…ethically ambiguous.
It is not just someone who is a rude bore. This sort of character understands norms and manners very well and makes deliberate choices about which lines they cross, allowing them to be disruptive without actually being ostracised, for maximum damage.
I am a strong advocate of bringing back that guy who messes people's lives up just a little bit, especially if they have their priorities in the wrong order.
