1. Ned can make delicious pies. I can't bake...anything.
2. He can wake dead people with a touch (but make them dead again the 2nd touch). Obviously, I can't.
3. He inadvertently killed his childhood crush's father when he touched (and subsequently made alive again) his dead mother.
4. He is awkward. I am, too.
5. He overthinks; sometimes more than I do.
6. Ned, generally, wants what's best for other people but his ways sometimes come out with different results.
But more importantly Ned is my new hero because...
Ned is awkward with hugs.
 |
| Exhibit A: Ned's reaction to Hermann the Magician's sudden hug--priceless. |
 |
| Exhibit B: Ned's reaction to Olive's hug--same as mine. |
...but is okay with holding hands.
 |
| Exhibit A: Ned willingly holds hands with Olive to celebrate their win in the Comfort Food Cook Off |
 |
| Exhibit B: Since Ned and Chuck can't hold hands, they proxy-handhold Emerson instead. |
Ned is my new hero because, like me, he sees hugging as an unnecessary--thus, avoidable--social tool for expressing emotions. The only time he appears okay with hugging is when he's doing it with Chuck and even then a plastic (or a similar material) is wrapped around him.
Maybe Ned has rules for hugging, too.
