those 1960s bitches had no idea that they were creating a character 50+ years later this stoner dyke would absolutely cling to so hard as a comfort character because he sooo perfectly exemplifies feelings of loneliness and feeling shame for being different and yet who is sooo beautiful and calm and believes in the goodness of the galaxy and our potential within it and who is so clearly deserving of love and capable of giving and receiving it. even if he doesn’t see that for a long time
