Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

[WomenHour]

I would say Joey on Friends

Jen from The IT Crowd

I was OBSESSED with Spike from Buffy at the age of 12/13 and I still would now

Masterharper Robinton from the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey.

Another one for Sam heughan as Jamie Fraser, I am obsessed

Totally with PP who said Uhtred- I actually got proper giggles during the first series I think when he stripped off for a dip. Had I been in possession of smelling salts I would have requested DH fetch them.

Likewise proper swooning at Thor/Chris Hemsworth. I binge watched all the Thors on a flight to Australia as a result of my discovery of his ridiculous hotness (but specifically as Thor- I think it's long hair does it for me. Long hair and being smoking hot obv.)

Daryl Dixon from the walking dead,
Any character Evan Peters plays in American horror story,
Boxer in white lines

Angel from Buffy, Giles from Buffy and I think his name is Sam from Glow. All older than me (though Angel probably not so much) and all surprised me how into them I was!!

Frasier

Jack Dawson from Titanic. So wholesome

JD from Heathers. Very intense. Definitely not the healthiest crush in the world

Rupert Campbell-Black. Seeing as no-one has claimed him yet, he's mine. All mine.

@kitkatcake

Jack in While You Were Sleeping!

Oh my God, yes!! I so wanted to be Lucy!

So many where I love the character but not necessarily the actor.

Glad to know I'm not alone!

Spencer Reid - Criminal Minds
Negan - The Walking Dead
Captain Jack - POTC
Goblin King - Labyrinth
Hades - Descendants 3
Cal Lightman - Lie To Me

That's just off the top of my head lol 😂

Howl (with the moving castle). And grown up Christopher Chant when he's Chrestomanci.

I read a lot of Diana Wynne Jones when I was 13/14!

Bucky Barnes from the MCU. I mean Sebastian Stan is gorgeous but it's Bucky I'm in love with!

I have a long history of crushes on fictional characters - from books, films and even video games.

Pacey Witter
Tristan Farnon
Josh Lyman
Holden Caulfield
Jean Luc Picard
Duckie

There's a brilliant book called Be is Envy by Louise Bagshawe, there's a character called Tom who I'd climb like a tree. I wish Tom existed IRL

The fox Robin Hood in the Disney animation

Hank from dungeons and dragons

Ted Hastings from Line of Duty

Everyone had a crush on the fox Robin Hood

Also nearly forgot:
Spike from Press Gang
And Ron Weasley

Ha, he was one sexy fox!

Fox Mulder. It helped my teen fantasy no end to discover that David Duchovny was a sex addict.

Another one for Jean Luc - which continues into “Picard” and beyond.

And Spock

Mr Darcy
