Feathers in Hair
World's Tallest Hobbit
As a sister-thread to No*s' brilliant "What Historical Figure are we like?" thread (which it is imperitive that you post in right away, since it's incredible!), I thought I'd start up one in which we compare the person who posted before us to a fictional figure. This can either be a mythological one (or one you interpret as being mythological, for example, see below!) or one from the creative pursuits (literature, movies, TV, etc).
This one will have mostly the same rules! We need to know a little about the figure you're comparing them to, the comparison must be positive (feek free to compare them to a non-positive character, just as long as it is not implying that they aren't positive or that they share the character's naughty attributes. Maybe you love Gollum, because he's a survivor? Make sure you clarify that's why you're comparing a person to Gollum, as opposed to leaving us to imply that you think the other person has a tendancy to bite off hobbit-fingers.)
It will differ a little bit in that you can compare any member, not just the person who posted before you, to anyone, in your post, just as long as you also post something about the person before you. (For example, I think a member reminds me exactly of Mary Poppins, but they haven't posted in this thread. As long as I say who the person who posted above me reminds me of, I'm free to celebrate the Mary Poppins-member, too!) That way, no one gets neglected!
As No*s did, I'll have to pick someone at random, so I'm picking Bastet! This is quite a simple one, as I'm only comparing her to Bastet, the goddess. Originally, Bastet had both the attributes of a cat and a lioness (the latter aspect would eventually become attributed to Sekhmet, whose name I can never correctly spell). I think Bastet has the lively wit, wittiness, and the incredible personality of such a cat, but I also celebrate that she has the knowledge and the courage to embrace her other aspects, when confronting ignorance or hatred. Yay for someone who fits their user name so perfectly!

). I'd compare him to Adam Warlock. He's a secular humanist, and Warlock was pretty close to that (though not quite), and it seems his primary goal here is to learn truth and find his place in the world, again like classic Warlock. Further, he seems to like to have a good time, and Adam spent a fair amount of time drinking with Pip
