Why not Dale?

Not everyone, obviously. But would it be nice if those we loved loved us back? Imagine all the sadness and pain that would no longer exist. It would be beautiful.

Okay, I normally am annoyed when people do this, but I typed five characters!
questionablecontentfan:
I like Marigold BECAUSE she's flawed, BECAUSE she's vulnerable, BECAUSE she doesn't know how to talk to people, because she sits in her room playing video games, because she hides from the world, because she eats pocky all day long, because she's in her early 20s and has never had a boyfriend, and before kissing Angus she'd never kissed. Other people see her behavior as flaws, I see her as more real. She doesn't spend all day being fake and schmoozing with people just to look good. She doesn't spend vain hours blowdrying her hair and painting her face and trying to impress shallow guys. She's beautiful, she's real, she's afraid, and she's not like a million other comic characters who are fake and stupid and always trying to be cute and perfect. Her imperfections are what are beautiful.
She's also not uber creepy like Hanners can sometimes be. Hanners just isn't running at the right frequency for me. She just doesn't do it for me the way Mari does.
Can you honestly think of a time that she's been mean, cruel, spiteful? Of a time she screwed someone over, wronged someone? She is not only vulnerable and real, but she treats other people with respect, for the most part. She's not a useless bitch like Faye. She's sweet, and has much love to offer. She is too scared to venture outside of the safety of her little world. She is a lot like me, but unlike me, she is not nearly as angry and bitter as I am. She does not fantasize about ripping people new rectums as I do.
There is a lot to appreciate about her.
Maybe I sound nuts but that's what I think.

Well sure. While we're on the subject it would also be pretty neat to live in a world with no disease where the air is laced with amphetamines. There's optimism, there's idealism, and then there's this. This delves into high fantasy right here. A world where everyone who loves someone is loved in return is so fundamentally altered it no longer even resembles our own. You could write an entire novel just exploring the concept of what such a world could theoretically look like, whether there would be drawbacks in such a utopia (for that is what it would be. A utopia), how this would alter social norms, human interaction, the development of all the sciences and political structure.
I mean it's a nice concept for fiction. It could actually be pretty fun to play around with. There are a lot of directions you could take that in. In terms of real life expectations though you'd be better off waiting for someone to develop Soma.
