Fantasising about a fictional character!!

454 replies

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

If there's one thing I'm struggling with personally with Covid it's no time to myself in the house. I'd quite like to indulge in watching some films with my current choice of eye candy but DH is always around working.

bunglebee · 28/04/2021 16:27

Not a dry seat in the house, eh, @Holothane? Wink

Holothane · 28/04/2021 16:27

Nine o clock at night is my time I’ve a tv in the bedroom unless he finds something we watch together I go and watch what I like believe I make time it keeps me sane, I also watch any serious surgery programs as well

Holothane · 28/04/2021 16:28

Haha you could say that blushed Lord I’m smitten that man I only have think about and puff.

MrsGulDukat · 28/04/2021 17:20

I must not watch the right things. No one worthy of drooling over.

Holothane · 28/04/2021 17:39

@MrsGulDukat this one caught me about two months ago it was on my Twitter feed advertising Master I saw the picture and thought who is he? He’s gorgeous then another one a few week later I then heard the audio adverts and well that was it, full blown crush.

We only have the one TV. I've been known to watch stuff in my tablet, but I don't have Disney Plus on it Sad. I'll have to see if you can have different users like Netflix. DH does not need to know how often I watch certain actors 😅
Holothane · 28/04/2021 17:45

Brilliant mine doesn’t realise just how much I dream either my fanfic stuff is growing believe it brightens many a day.😍

MrsGulDukat · 28/04/2021 17:50

I might have to venture onto Netflix for a watch of Deep Space Nine again.

I feel in a Gul Dukat mood.........or maybe Damar. Fuck it, both!!

bunglebee · 28/04/2021 17:52

DH is out tonight, so I have exciting plans to order pizza, rewatch the first Captain America, and drool over Bucky! I can't wait.

He has been rewatching DS9 and I do have a weakness for Dr Bashir.

MrsGulDukat · 28/04/2021 17:57

Ooooooh, Dr Bashir is lush.

If I ever had a son, I'd totally call him Julian.

Holothane · 28/04/2021 18:37

Enjoy both of you I’m watching part of the third then 4th movie might fit in the 5th if I can. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Envy definitely envy! Never seen it at all as I've been faithful to Loki 😂 wasn't planning on finding another redeemable bad guy attractive, but I've clearly been missing out all these years.

I dabbled a bit in fanfiction, short pieces, they were mostly well received by the relevant fan community. They were fun, I enjoyed writing them and enjoyed being an active part of the community. But real life took priority and fan communities can be hard work when the latest installment in a franchise has changes that are not universally approved of. To put it tactfully.
MrsGulDukat · 28/04/2021 19:13

I have a thing for bad guys. Not sure why, but I seem to be drawn to them the most.

Holothane · 28/04/2021 19:48

My fan fics are for me always loved bad guys guys Hans Gruber started it 30 years ago.

MrsGulDukat · 28/04/2021 19:59

Hans Gruber. The original hot bad guy.

Any HP fans about?

I need to give my characters mother a family but it needs to be a Pureblood family. I cant decide between:

Carrow
Parkinson
Flint
Nott
Rowle

Someone pick for me.

Holothane · 28/04/2021 20:16

What about Flint, yes I’ve adored Hans Gruber for years, the villain in the second Die Hard is not bad either after that forget, then Stansfield in Leon, Le Chief Mads Mickleson in Casino Royale. Now I dare not say the same I’d be lynched.

MrsGulDukat · 28/04/2021 20:25

Flint it is.

I find the bad guys a bit more magnetic in the way they carry themselves. But it has been a certain type. Not a violent baddie, but a cool, calm "make love or kill you" type.

Mrsfrumble · 28/04/2021 20:29

Ahhh Hans! The first time I saw Die Hard (I was very late to the game) I remember expressing astonishment that we (the audience) were supposed to be on Bruce Willis’s side. Why would anyone root for that meat-head when his opponent was such a gorgeous, witty, sophisticated intellectual?

Holothane · 28/04/2021 20:30

Oh I know Hans can take me off anytime.

bunglebee · 28/04/2021 20:34

I also vote Flint!

I've always liked nice men, never been into bad guys. Until Loki, but he was clearly redeemable, so that's ok. And now Bucky.

If I can't get Disney Plus sorted I'll be on YouTube 😂 Somebody saved me the trouble of actually having to watch the second Thor film by editing all the Loki scenes together...

MrsGulDukat · 28/04/2021 20:38

@Mrsfrumble

Exactly.

He might kill you, but at least you could have a decent conversation with him first.

Ginger1982 · 28/04/2021 20:41

I love a bit of character fantasising. My tastes are a bit old school though. DI Burnside from The Bill, for example 😳
