Fictional character crushes

Inspired by another thread who is your fictional character crush?

In no particular order:

Carlise (Twilight)
Edward (Twilight)

& Evan Peters in pretty much all of the bad boy roles in American Horror story but if I have to choose ‘March’ (in Hotel) 😍

should add - the actors don’t really appeal its 100% the character 😜

Agree with Thor, Rio and Anthony Bridgerton.

Robb Stark

HallieHufflepuff · 02/08/2022 07:30

Bucky Barnes
Loki Laufeyson
Any Tom Hiddleston character really 😂

Chuck Bass

Link, but only the adult version in Ocarina of time.

Mandalorian, this is purely because I have a thing for dads.

knackeredagain · 02/08/2022 07:35

Heathcliffe from Wuthering Heights

WhispersOfWickedness · 02/08/2022 07:36

Pacey Witter 😍 We'll ignore the fact that I'm now older than the teacher that he had an affair with 😬
Also Flynn Rider from Tangled, hottest cartoon character ever 😁

theDudesmummy · 02/08/2022 07:44

The barrister in the 1999 version of The Winslow Boy (played by Jeremy Northam, who is/was hot, but it is the fictional character I really desire). My all-time greatest fictional crush.

TheVolturi · 02/08/2022 07:53

Op you can be my new bestie! 🤣🤣🤣 But sorry, Edward belongs to me and I have a t shirt to prove it 😳.
Twilight is my thing and I get the piss taken out of me but I care not! There is some rather interesting fanfiction that I can give you the links to if you would like? Might make you blush though.

AppleHa · 02/08/2022 07:57

God, so so many. They are all quite different and some are downright weird, so I am not sure I “have a type”
Spike from Buffy
Mulder
Crowley from Good Omens
Loki in Marvel and also Joanne Harris’ Rune books
Sherlock Holmes
Peter Wimsey
Bertie Wooster
er…Rimmer from Red Dwarf. I would hesitate to put this last one but I have seen others admit to it on here…

Oh yes.

ladydimitrescu · 02/08/2022 08:17

Angel in Buffy, but more so In Angel.
Khal Drogo from game of thrones.
Eddie Munson from stranger things - band wagon I know but don't care Grin

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/08/2022 08:21

Cormoran Strike
Mr Rochester
Luke Alderton

there must be loads, I love having a good old crush.

Mine's a bit weird. Based on a real person. W.H.R Rivers in The Regeneration Trilogy. Not especially useful that he's portrayed as a (at least probably) gay man. And I'm a straight woman.

Me too! He is so kind, humorous, gentle, intelligent, modest, I read a (rather dry) biography and I think Pat Barker’s portrayal is very accurate. I re-read the books often and fall in love all over again. In my mind’s eye he looks like David Haig, possibly because I saw him as Uncle in Journey’s End and he is a similar wonderful character.

SeriouslyCarol · 02/08/2022 08:46

Luke in Rachel's Holiday
Thomas Nightingale in the Rivers of London series

NatM15588 · 02/08/2022 08:49

Angel (buffy) , Captain America, Lord Bridgerton and Edward Cullen! I dont know if I could pick a favourite from those.

LiveshipParagon · 02/08/2022 08:49

Agree with FitzChivalry Farseer (also Paragon, Brashen, Reyn, Nighteyes, Burrich). For those uninitiated in Robin Hobb books, two of those characters are not even people.

Agree with both foxes mentioned above (Farthing Wood and Robin Hood)

Logen Ninefingers (but not the Bloody-Nine)

Heathcliff (only because he's fictional though, in real life he would ring all the alarm bells)

Sirius Black

Carlo from Captain Corelli's Mandolin

There are more, I'm sure 😂

LiveshipParagon · 02/08/2022 08:50

HOW DID I FORGET SPIKE FROM BUFFY

GrouchyKiwi · 02/08/2022 08:57

A lot of Heyer's heroes, usually the competent and amused by everything ones, not the misanthropic ones.
Lots of niche heroes from Urban Fantasy, especially those written by Helen Harper and Donna Augustine. Again, they're always very competent.
Captain Wentworth, both book and Ciaran Hinds.
Agree with the Witcher and film Aragorn.

MintyCedricRidesAgain · 02/08/2022 09:03

Another vote for Cormoran Strike (I was such a fangirl at one point he comes up in my predictive text 😊)

Currently in danger of being usurped by DI Tom Thorne.

Also yy to T Bag, Uthred, Captain Blackadder, Foxy Robin Hood, Flynn Ryder, Mr Rochester, Gisborne and Lucas North (also check out John Porter in the first series of Strike Back)

Childhood crushes...Buck Rogers, Indian Jones, Dave from Drop The Dead Donkey (Neil Pearson) and...erm...Adrian Mole.

SteveHarringtonsChestHair · 02/08/2022 00:53

Roy Kent from Ted Lasso, and also as my username suggests, young Steve Harrington despite being old enough to be his mum Grin

In terms of fancying the character and not the actor, Hugh Laurie is only sexy AF in House. I’m everything else I find him deeply unattractive, but I would climb House like a tree.

With you on the Steve crush! The boat scene in S4?? 😍He's such a sweetheart! Probably wouldn't kick Billy out of bed either, but my heart would be with Steve (as, I expect, would Billy's!)

My first obsession was Willow from Buffy, and also Spike. They were my bisexual awakening!

MintyCedricRidesAgain · 02/08/2022 09:04

A lot of Heyer's heroes, usually the competent and amused by everything ones, not the misanthropic ones.

Jasper Damerel...yum!

ZarquonsSandals · 02/08/2022 09:05

The cartoon fox that was Robin Hood.

Narwhalelife · 02/08/2022 09:40

HarrietSchulenberg · 02/08/2022 02:21

Oh, and Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham.

Actually I’m adding Snape too 😅
