Ok. I basicly know why we all love randall. Why? ....Uhm...well, duh, he's sexeh.........exept for the guys who like them, they can call him just plain awesome.
Anyway, if any of you have been to my DA gallery, you'd know I like this fine critter and another dude too. Jack. No, no Skellington, Lantern.
I was ponderin......and thought to myself "Why do I love these guys?". I laughed and relized that I like them because of they're looks and personality. How it reminds me a bit of myself. See, how Randall reminds me of myself is that he's kind of the "loner". And he's rather MEAN and kind of an insomniac, as myself. Jack, on the other hand, is a (or used to be *can't help but chuckle a bit*) happy go lucky kinda guy. He liked to pull pranks and entertain himself. I like to entertain myself ANYWAY I can (even if it IS at other's expense) and I like to think up new things (as he did). Wilt and Bloo, from Foster's Home for Imaginary friends, they also remind me of me. Wilt, the tall red one who seems to have all the ladies' attention, is REALLY polite. I am when i dunno someone and I apologize for things I didn't do. Bloo, is a leader like guy, thinks up plans, has curiousity, likes to party and likes to always be right. Me exept the Leader thing..I'm a follower.....
Basicly, what I'm trying to get at is, does ANY character you LOVE seem like you? Most of the characters I like seem like me in a way. Or more ways than I ever thought possible. So, who reminds you of..well, yourself? I must suggest these be characters on your top ten favorites. You can make a list of the characters and then add what makes them like you, as I will later on. So...yeah.....>< I need music, pepsi, sleep and CANDEH...

Hmm ... never thought of that ...
Well, of course, I love Randall =)
Wilt's a favorite, but I'm nothing like him.
Clopin ... I guess I can compare. I can go from incredibly hyper to incredibly ... mean. Sometimes ;D
Umm .... Hades- I like to think of quick comebacks and sometimes they come naturally ... scary.
Panic ... well, I act like him on roller coaster rides ;D
Ling ... I like to cause pranks and fool around with my friends ... stupid stuff ^^
Joanna ... well, I'm sneaky like her ^^
Syndrome ... oh boy ... we have so much in common, though my hairstyle doesn't stand upright like a treasure troll ^__^ But I can be real sarcastic. Like pitbull lady's said- it's in the Celtic genes ^^
And Vitani ... I like to be mischevious.
Others- Fife and Lumiere, I am NOTHING like them. But I love them =)

Well so far Randall's the most like me. I guess that's why we get along so well, we're like brothers.
Hmmm...lets see......
Well...for some pieces.....
I guess Veemon has my jokeable fun-loving side.... Iago has my slight temper fuse.... Zazu probably because of his intellect....
.....Dang....I'm not good at this heh...

I can see a lot of myself in Randall, yes; we even have the same color eyes. Even more, though, I can relate to what he was going through, the whole notion of working your @$$ off and never getting any recognition or appreciation for it, of having to work for someone who makes it clear they hate your guts, but are more than willing to use you for their own gain. I know all too well exactly what that feels like and what it will do to your outlook, so I can certainly sympathize with Randall. I also find him to be a being of almost exquisite physical beauty-a Celtic illuminated manuscript brought to glorious life. The way he moves, with that feline, predatory grace, the way the muscles glide smoothy over each other, the mosaic of colors and intricate patterns on his skin, and of course, the most expressive face I have ever seen on any character, animated or otherwise, all add up to to one gorgeous package! It's funny, that prior to seeing Randall for the first time, I never though of any animated character, and relatively few live-action ones, as "sexy". That aspect of his being simply comes off very strong, and I can't help but wonder what the animators, writers and even Steve Buscemi himself must think of that, LOL! Many, many others obviously share my opinion, so it can't be "just me". I still believe it must be some ancient gene, passed down to us since the first mammals crawled about on this planet, that certain members of the human populace possess, that would cause a female human to look at this reptilian personage, and find him so attractive.
One of my other favorite characters is Stitch, who shares a lot in common with Randall, namely a bit of a chip on his shoulder, quick reactions, and a mouthful of ivory steak knives! I see Stitch, though, as more of a culmination, while Randall is still very much a diamond-in-the-rough, yet to be polished. Stitch started out in pretty much the same shape Randall was in-angry, violent, self-serving-but came to realize, by being shown unconditional love, that there were alternatives. He was LOST, as Randall was also LOST, but Stitch got found, while Randall never got that chance. Stitch, though, for all his intelligence and cleverness, is still to me more like an animal. He is basically a dog with some genetic enhancements, but his biggest appeal to me is that much of the time, Stitch still acts like a very ordinary dog, even drinking out of the toilet! Being a "dog person" myself, this naturally makes him really appealing to me; he is like that fantasy dog all of us "dog people" wanted as a little kid, one who would always defend you, could carry on conversations with you, and take the place of the human playmates you didn't have. I cannot even remotely think of Stitch in any sexual context, since like I said, to me he's still a highly-advanced dog, while oddly enough, I don't think of Randall as a lizard or even a reptile, but a person. Maybe it's because I don't think Randall would be caught dead lapping water from the commode or licking places he has no business licking in public!
For a long time, Randall was the only animated character I really found to be attractive. Then, dang it, Pixar went and did it again! With Randall though, I still think it was unintentional on their part; in fact, I'd wager that they tried to make him as UNappealing as possibly. In the case of Buddy Pine/Syndrome, though, I believe it was on purpose-to create a human character who would have enough boyish charm and charisma to drive females crazy! Those baby blue eyes, the dimples, the freckles, even that lop-sided little grin were all intended to distract from the fact that this guy has done and WILL do some pretty awful things, without thinking twice about it. Still, I see Buddy as another wounded soul, not one that's beyond redemption. I can't help but feel for him and kept hoping, all through that movie, that he'd see the error of his ways or that he'd somehow do something good and finally get to be that hero he'd always wanted to be, and not by some set-up situation he'd orchestrated, either. Yeah, he's sarcastic-something we have in common besides our red hair and freckes(shoot, we almost look like we could be related). Yeah, he's immature-like THAT is an uncommon trait among guys. He's funny, he's rich, he's handsome-so that more than makes up for it. He's another I just wish I could have had a chance to reach out to, before things got so bad.
Pixar needs to stop doing this to me!

*pouts* Not me, I'm afraid -- just regular ol' brown eyes. But -- BUT -- my dad does have hazel-green eyes, so it's possible that I have that recessive gene from his side and could pass it on, provided I marry someone with green or hazel eyes, or at least someone who has that recessive gene, too. *crosses fingers again*
