I'm not delusional. I know the characters I read about in stories aren't real . . . I just wish they were.
Though it's probably best for the men of the world that they aren't, because the fictional dudes would steal away all the women. Don't believe me? Let me introduce you to a few of my crushes.
 |
| Lestat de Lioncourt |
(Vampire Chronicles - Anne Rice) Lestat was my first fictional love. True, sometimes he's arrogant, flamboyant, selfish, impulsive, reckless & finds more trouble than inhumanly possible. But at the end of the day, I still love him.
 |
| Dimitri Belikov |
(Richelle Mead - Vampire Academy) Dimitri isn't my normal
type. He's such a good guy. Strong morals, level headed. I never would have thought I'd fall head over heels for him, even if he's ungodly hot. But now, I'd travel into strigoi territory to bring him back too.
 |
| Mr. Darcy |
(Jane Austen - Pride & Prejudice) Fitzwilliam Darcy had me thinking ...
"He's not all that. Come on Lizzy, we could do so much better.... Wait, he did what?!? ... Aw, let's marry him and have his little Darcy babies!!"
 |
| Jacob Black |
(Stephenie Meyer - Twilight Saga) Jacob, so help me, is the only character -- who isn't a vampire -- who's made me forsake the main hero and wanting to rewrite the ending. Every time he uttered his trademark "Sure, sure" I melted a little. Fiercely loyal. A bit of a hothead. Determined. His amazing abs had absolutely nothing to do with winning my devotion -- though they didn't hurt any.
What about you? Any long-standing crushes on men who may not be "real", but they're real to you?
