I feel like this is going to be the year I finally do that reread of the entire H2G2 series but in a specially-dedicated copy where I highlight different sections depending on how they relate to worldbuilding, characterization, themes, etc. and use that as reference for my fic-writing.

"I'm out of touch?" Arthur repeated, somewhat offended by the suggestion of such a thing.

"And," Ford said, putting a hand on Arthur's shoulder. "It seems you're out of time."

The two men looked up at the spaceships, which were hanging in the sky ominously.

"It must be a Thursday."

Big probably wrong ford ramble

I’ve done my first reading of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, essentially reading just to get a feel of the plot, vibe, and characters. I’m pretty fixated on Ford. Pretty interesting, ungodly relatable. I wrote this really big sort of psychoanalysis based on what I do know (which is the first book, one scene out of book 4, the ending of the entire series, a few radio clips, and about 5 out of the 6 1981 episodes.) So we’re not working with much. I could be wrong about everything but I thought you people would find my live-blogging interesting. Mistakes may be there. This is copied from my notes app and roughly edited. Take a shot every time I say “it seems”! Spoilers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I feel like ford is gonna have some sort of touch starved/emotionally repressed, whatnot situation. I feel like this is going to tie in with the Love Me Tender. I feel as though spending 15 years on earth and missing out on so many not-earth years is gonna fuck any non-earth person up. Also, all his writing was just cut to shit it seems.

Listening to the radio show moreso solidifies his personality for me because when I first read the book, especially after seeing him in the show, it seemed like he was just jolly and whimsical with an alcohol problem. However, he may just be putting on a jolly front to get things out of people. After everything, his introduction looks to confirm that. There is a lack of self preservation at times. It seems like when he is by himself he really just does not care all that much about his own well being, as the drunken nights wandering in the streets is not something someone that cares too much about themselves does, I imagine. Back to the radio topic, I read lines far differently in the book than i heard in the radio, just in general. It wasnt because of what he said, but how he said it. I feel like the radio show solidifies that layer of interpretation.

For instance, i know this is far later, but when i read part of the 4th book and ford was talking about the guide to that woman, it sounded more like he was into her than the work. In the radio, it is clear he is more concerned about his writing. 

The lack of self preservation is most defnitely confirmed when he laughs at the world's destruction. Something about him feels like he just knows what is going to happen, and therefore everything is just an ironic joke. He could also have one big regret in his life which he feels led up to all these moments, which i would not doubt. He is not the first sad goofy alcoholic i have read about. 

I know this is not particularly deep or anything special, but those are my thought so far. I finished the book and i am going to start it over with the online version so i can read all of them at once. I really like ford and zaphods interactions, like they matter to each other. It's nice seeing ford being concerned or at least curious rather than entirely aloof as characters like him can often be

Overall I've realized there's a lot of stuff i missed or glossed over since my first reading was just to get a feel for the book. This time, knowing what is going to happen, i think more will make sense or at least be known. Despite not thinking the ford representation is the best, i really do like the show and what they did! I especially love ford and arthurs dynamic and arthurs personality in general. It's unfortunate that he didn't have much of the charm in the book, but i can understand why. He's there to keep the story going. Afterall, it is a British comedy and they are not exactly known for their debilitating sadness. Ford probably has commitment issues. Fork found in kitchen. He's so subterranean homesick alien by Radiohead.

I decided to do more "top X" posts after my last one. I couldn't think of 25 books, and 4 of the 13 I COULD think of were honestly filler... so I decided to make this one a "top 9". An awkward number, sure, but I've fallen out of love with too many books to have a top 25 anymore.

I literally had to add the Heaven's Vault books to the Internet Archive's database so I could add them to this image, haha!

Also, the site where you can make images like this is:

Everyone who depicts Ford Prefect with freckles is so right for that.
