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 😜

Raylan Givens - justified. Timothy Oliphant

I still hold a torch for Sharpe, he was fantastic. Especially in the Daniel Craig episode Blush

Yes!
And yes to Foxy Robin Hood as well...

Jay Halstead from Chicago PD (hence the username!)

I’d bounce up and down on that man so hard, his ears would bleed.

Not even sorry.

Giles from Buffy, unquestionably. Far, far sexier than Spike or Angel.

loopsaloo · 02/08/2022 22:03

Gary Oldman as Dracula ❤️

Giveaschitt · 02/08/2022 22:05

Pacey from Dawson's creek
Both David and Patrick from Schitts creek
Aslan from the lion the witch and the wardrobe (yes, I know he's a lion...)
The Hardy boys
David and Tom in the Lone Pine Adventures
Huckleberry Finn

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 02/08/2022 22:06

Captain Picard
Tyrion Lannister
Richard III from Sharon Penman ‘s Sunne In Splendour

I have no idea what this says about me but I’ve had painful and prolonged crushes on these characters

Ranger, from the Janet Evanovich books. Dear lord!

Khal Drogo

Spike from Buffy, even tho he’s a horrible person.

Oh how could I forget Ranger!!

Augend23 · 02/08/2022 22:10

Richard Hannay as played in 39 steps by Rupert Penry Jones.

David Tennant's Dr Who

And perhaps unimaginative, but the book version of Mr Darcy.

MissVantaBlack · 02/08/2022 22:24

The dad from the Biff, Chip and Kipper books. Sadly my DC are all too old for this series now so I'm considering ordering myself a set from Amazon.

LiveshipParagon · 02/08/2022 22:32

Oh yes, Tyrion Lannister for sure. That man has a brain and knows how to use it <hot>

Someone said "the vampire from Being Human" - assume you mean Mitchell? Gorgeous, but way too much drama all the time and manky gloves too. I always loved George the werewolf more. Herrick is a bloody (heh) brilliant character too. We have the whole series on dvd which is well worth it for the special features: Aidan Turner bouncing around the train massacre set with his own camera taking overly excited photos is adorably charming ❤

EscapeTheCastle · 02/08/2022 22:33

Murdoch from the A Team.
Will Scarlett from Robin of Sherwood played by Ray Winstone. I salute the poster above who listed him too. I absolutely loved him as a kid.
Spike from Buffy.
Gene Hunt.

Haldir in Lord of the Rings
Jack Aubrey

Rhysand, High lord of the night court (a court of thorns and roses by Sarah J Maas)

Casteel - From blood and ash (Jennifer L Armentrout)

Ive been reading too much smutty fantasy 😬

I came on to say Rhysand. I remember reading the first book and hating him at first. I'd also love to be the meat in a Cassian and Azriel sandwich.

Rowan Whitethorn from Throne of Glass obviously.

Robin Hood the cartoon fox

Ranger from Stephanie Plum

Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars

I hate Henry Cavill with a vengeance but Gerald of Rivia is just chefs kiss

Any brooding giant of a highland clansman in any Scottish romance novel I have ever read but especially Mac Mackenzie from Jennifer Ashley's MacKenzies and McBrides series

Cooper Miles from Claire Kingsley's Miles Family series

Brendan from It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey

Captain Wentworth from Persuasion

Mark "I like you just as you are" Darcy

Thor and Captain America

Jack Sparrow (he'd need to brush his teeth first)

Flynn Rider

Mydogmylife · 02/08/2022 23:05

LadyHelenaJustina · 02/08/2022 23:42

Over the years:

Thomas Nightingale from RoL
Mr Darcey
Harry Hart/Galahad from Kingsman
Merlin from Kingsman
Jake Cutter from Tales of the Gold Monkey
Hamish MacBeth

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.

Oh, I totally get that!

(I also kind of fancy Peter Firth.)

And I agree too with Hilary Mantel’s Cromwell being deeply fanciable. I also have a slight thing for JL Carr’s Tom Birkin (A Month in the Country) and Ralph Touchett in James’ Portrait of a Lady. And Charlotte Bronte’s Paul Emmanuel.

Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars

Be still my beating heart!

He is the perfect blend of alphahole brooding bad boy who can only be tamed by Veronica

jennyofthenorth · 03/08/2022 00:52

Maurice boscorelli from third watch (a show I bet NONE of you know)
