#brittas

Recently me and my siblings have been watching through 'Brittas Empire' we are currently up to series 3. But although he is incredibly annoying, Brittas is still my favourite character, but for entirely different reasons to Rimmer being my favourite from 'Red Dwarf'.

The thing about Brittas is that he is annoying, but not because he means to. He doesn't realise that others dislike the way he is and has what he feels is best at heart. While Rimmer is just stubborn and thinks with himself at heart. Both are difficult to be around, but Brittas does not mean to be. Rimmer knows that he annoys people and still expects people to like him.

Brittas is my favourite because he is just trying to think of what is best, and he is a good person who just goes about things the wrong way and doesn't realise. He belives that he is nice and he does the best he could.

Meanwhile Rimmer is my favourite because, he is on one hand a self-preserving coward who values his life over others, but he also hates himself. We know this from the many looks into his mind, that although he puts on an act of loving himself and pretending he is a charming and amazing person, while in reality these traits of him are long gone and a feeling of self loathing has taken over. That is why he is my favourite.

As you can see, they although at first look seem very similar they are quite different.

Some of my latter 'characters' are probably a bit different to other people that responded / are more like vague descriptions of characters I pulled from a collection of fanfics but this still sounded fun to do 🤷‍♀️ -- my main reason for tumblr IS kpop so I do apologise but also I'm not sorry 😅😅

1. Ben Willbond / The Captain - Ghosts (just Ben Willbond yes please and thank you)

2. Chris Evans / Captain America - Marvel ... America's A$$

3. Chris Barrie / Arnold Rimmer - Red Dwarf - my strange crush lmao (a theme of captains / wannabes and Chris's whoops 😝)

4. Chris Barrie / Gordon Brittas - Brittas Empire (I know it's the same actor but tbh Red Dwarf and Brittas Empire really are 2 of my all time favourite sit coms that just happen to both have him in)

5. Prince George / Hugh Laurie - Blackadder

6. Robert Downey Jr / Iron Man - Marvel (and yes, it makes this only 9 fandoms but it's still 10 different characters 😅 - also is this a weird crush again? I don't care 😅)

7. Christopher Eccleston / The Doctor - Doctor Who (and okay maybe I'm not longer mega on DW but this version of the doctor to me is definitely worth mentioning)

8. badboy!V / Kim Taehyung - BTS

9. badboy!Han / Han Jisung - Stray Kids (I just have this thing....)

10. dom!Young K / Kang Younghyun - day6 (😛😛😛) I'm not sure if I saved the best for last as in best across this whole list or best in terms of the little kpop section? The dude is just fucking SMOKING

like one of them has heavy tattoos and so has to wear a sweatshirt with their shorts, but always rolls up their sleeves, and so whenever gordan catches them like that, he looks at them and calls their name, sometimes with a “now what have we talked about with your sleeves?” because he still thinks tattoos are unprofessional and the like, and the employee always just rolls their sleeves down with a “yes mr brittas, sorry mr brittas,” and then five seconds after gordan is gone the sleeves are back up

give us a non-binary employee and gordon being respectful and using they/them pronouns even though he doesn’t really get but “happy employees makes for happy customers” because that’s something he’d say

give us another queer character and gordon’s still just completely oblivious, and they’re friends with tim and gavin and always having a little gossip together, taking about differences in queer acceptance of their generations

give us someone who isn’t white (no funny reason here but just like, I want that)

have an episode with a wheelchair sports team wanting to use the gym but it’s not accessible and so gordon goes overboard in an attempt to make it accessible to all, which ultimately just causes chaos and everything just because unusable because he’s just done so much in such a small leisure centre

Tim got him a shirt; he’s still a bit iffy on it but he can appreciate a gift (even if it was printed on a spare leisure centre uniform.)

today’s autistic character of the day is: lauren lewis from lost girl
