Poor little meow meows (sci-fi & fantasy edition)
Urgently seeking suggestions, any and all input is welcome! A list for men in sci-fi/fantasy who are pathetic, reminiscent of kicked dogs, described as poor little meow meows, drowning in their own emptiness, and/or generally have an intense aura of being a sad loser with no life. Having a capacity to be fixed is entirely optional. If you want to demonstrate why a man is a loser, feel free to do so at great length in the comments so that we all may further our studies in male patheticology.

Audiobooks Narrated by the Great Tim Curry
2026 is merciless. We lost another one, people. Pour one out for a legend. I'm devastated. Clue is one of my all-time favorite movies. I saw Rocky Horror Picture Show on the Queen Mary when I was in high school. They wrote slut on my chest and had me perform sapphic erotica for the audience. I had misread the vibe and was wearing a sailor suit my friend had cut the legs and crotch out of. It was an incredible (eye-opening) evening for me. We will miss you so much, Tim.
