Ignore Wikipedia On This One


For anyone who knows the dictionary definition of vicar:
Sorry to disappoint the god-fearing folk, looking for insights on futuristic popes,
but that's not where we're going with this.

You're gonna want to think of this vicar as the root word of vicarious. This vicar is just a person. Your everyday Joe who so happens to derive excitement from living other people's lives.
Yes, other people's lives.
Like an identity thief without non-legit social security numbers or stolen credit cards but with borrowed personalities and experiences.

And with the advent of technology, us vicars don't even have to read books or anything that could possibly be construed as constructive to our own lives, if we don't want to (do so.)
((Constructive vicariousness or not, try your best not to end a sentence with a preposition. Public schooling has at least done THAT much for you, hasn't it?))

Anyway- Through the mediums of our time (like film, television, and the almighty internet) we can add wonderfully fictional doses of drama with minimal effort.

So. Please enjoy my horribly biased and girly compilation of nifty things about fictional people.
