Fantasising about a fictional character!!

HensTeeth44 · 16/04/2021 10:24

I need your help and to know if I am a complete lunatic and BVU or if this is something that happens to other people.

I have always had a very overactive imagination and have a tendancy to daydream but this is the first time (in adulthood anyway) that I have developed a full on obsession with a fictional character. Not the actor who plays this character, but the character himself! Last night I found myself googling this character and falling into the rabbit hole of the Internet and finding reams of erotic fan fiction. I am ashamed to say I found myself still awake at 2am after reading through tons these short stories Blush call me niave but I had no idea this stuff existed before! I feel such a dork!

Am I abnormal? What does this say about this verging on middle-aged married mother? My marriage and sex life are good, I love my husband and find him very attractive, I don't feel depressed or lonely. What is going on?! Grin

@Temp023

Miles Jupp is a bit of a crush of mine but I would struggle with a fantasy about Archie the inventor.

Mind you, how inventive could he be??

I don’t think he ever invented anything, just made junk models out of bits of old crap Grin

So Archie was like a posh artsy steptoe?

Thanks. Let me know if you find it.

I'm with you. A lot of it is the character, not the actor (although AR is devine - that voice! 😛). There is so much torment and tragedy about his character. But also the fact that he is ridiculously intelligent which I find utterly irresistible. Yum!

I've never told anyone IRL about this (don't think I ever could), so it is so liberating to tell all on here and to know that I'm not a complete lunatic. It's comforting to know there are reams of other people who do this!! Grin[/quote]

I feel much the same way about MCU Loki to be honest, and also Athos (as played by Tom Burke) in BBC's The Musketeers, for all the reasons you've stated.

There’s a set of films I’m getting soon let’s just say I’ll combust, I saw half an hour on my iPad my insides exploded now on a bigger screen oh yes, but yes like others mentions its the bad guys. I’d love to watch the Godfather but aren’t there loads of subtitles in it.

Holothane · 19/04/2021 14:56

AR fans check him out in Die Hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

tuttifuckinfruity · 19/04/2021 15:01

Oh wow; could some of the Snape fans please tell me what the attraction is, please?

I am a Harry Potter fan but never been attracted to Snape.

I have had massive, massive obsessions over fictional characters though. Huge. And yes, I've fallen down the erotic fan faction rabbithole too 😂

MrsGulDukat · 19/04/2021 15:02

I've had many a dream about Hans Gruber.

I have a taste for intelligent, confident and aloof men.

MakingPlans21 · 19/04/2021 15:26

Do you know if any Fan fiction about the guitarist from Queen, Brian May? Especially some that involves both his Willy and a trimming of his (head) hair? A short haired Brian May is the stuff dreams are made of.

MakingPlans21 · 19/04/2021 15:31

Or Dick, the hunk from Dick and Angel. Even his name gives me goosebumps. The things that moustache could do to me... Anyone know of fan fiction about him? Preferably without Angel.

Holothane · 19/04/2021 15:33

So glad I’m not the only one I’ve adored Hans Gruber for 30 years,, when a friend of my ex told me about Die Hard,

Fyredraca · 19/04/2021 15:44

Omg when I read Hans Gruber my first thought was the one with the 'little tank' in Allo Allo.
Obviously you mean sexy Alan Rickman playing the greatest baddie of all time.
As you were Grin
Mind you there probably is Allo Allo porn, there's porn of literally everything on AO3

MrsGulDukat · 19/04/2021 15:44

@Holothane. Hans Gruber is worth adoration.

HunterAngel · 19/04/2021 15:47

I don’t get the Snape thing, nothing excuses his bullying behaviour. He was Neville’s Boggart, his worst fear, after all.

My current crush is Lucifer (Tom Ellis). Smart sexy musician. Any Lucifer fans should check out SnowLynx40 on Archive of our own. That’s a fan fic author who really should consider writing for a living!

Rachie1973 · 19/04/2021 15:49

I fancy David Tennants Dr Who, but can’t stand DT has himself lol

Drawt · 19/04/2021 15:53

I've got a massive thing for Cormoran Strike. I am quite fixed in my interests and this is the first fictional crush I've had for a while Blush

I write final fantasy fanfic and have done for years, Vincent Valentine is fit and you can't tell me he isn't just because he isn't real Grin

Holothane · 19/04/2021 16:01

There is only one Hans Gruber when he say “I’m going to count to three there will not be a four” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️he can say that to me anytime.

Poshjock · 19/04/2021 16:05

For a long time Detective Flack from CSI:NY was my daydream crush. Weirdly had a spell with Dr Blake Confused

MrsGulDukat · 19/04/2021 16:17

I did have a crush on Captain Archer for Star trek Enterprise. Scott Bakula is bit of a silver fox now.

lavenderlou · 19/04/2021 16:25

I've found my people. Fanfiction is my guilty pleasure. I spend far too much time reading stories on FF.net when I should be doing something productive. It is a bit of a rabbit hole once you fall down it.

There was a lot of eye candy on that show! I still have a crush on Lt Reed but I wouldn't have kicked Trip Tucker out of bed either!
MrsGulDukat · 19/04/2021 17:07

@CounsellorTroi Both Reed and Trip. Lush.

Holothane · 19/04/2021 18:20

In another life I’m the Master’s wife, out of Dr who not missy and a couple who were burnt, I’m also the real Iove of an Eric Roberts character.

Holothane · 19/04/2021 18:22

You should see Pandemic the tv series and Goodfellas the eye in candy in both gorgeous men in suits,. I don’t do rough or scruffy ever, my men have to well dressed speak beautifully and have nice hands.

MrsGulDukat · 19/04/2021 18:25

@Holothane

Yep gotta be a well dressed man. Or a uniform but mainly a StarFleet uniform.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 19/04/2021 18:32

I once had a crush on Robin Hood. I was probably about 10 and really fancied being a Maid Marian substitute in Sherwood Forest.
