It occured to me upon reading Ophiel's thread in 18+ that I'm more likely to find myself attracted to literary characters because, unlike in tv and film, the focus is mainly on the character's personality, rather than their appearance. I can never seem to find a guy attractive based on appearance... with the exception of Mr Malcolm McDowell!

Some of my fictional crushes:

Alyosha, the monk from The Brothers Karamazov. FORBIDDEN FRUIT haha. I just found it refreshing the way he was so innocent and good and virtually devoid of corruption, bless him.

Snape from Harry Potter. He needs to be comforted. By me tbh.
Also kind of fancy Fred and George?

Andrew Bolkonski from War and Peace. Yeah, the emotional detachment is kind of off-putting at times but you just want to REACH OUT to him, like.

I can become a bit of an Ophelia around Hamlet...

And come on, is there any girl who doesn't go weak over Mr Darcy?

Maybe I'm just SAD?

probably lots more than i can remember!

more girls than boys too, i tend to get all my big sisters out of books

will have to have a wee think...

I have a major soft spot for Jane Eyre. You have to feel so sorry for her, the poor crather, although she was well able to look out for herself. I suppose her assertiveness and independence is what attracts me to her because I purely just HATE submissive women. But despite that, I felt really protective of her like I wanted to punch everyone who bullied her and spoil her with toffee apples and humbugs. Show her a good time because she deserves it, like That book is a great source of comfort for me.

Desde... i will fight you to the DEATH for Snape
