Comparing Ourselves to Literary Archetypes:

(Anonymous) 2014-11-09 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
I have a story that kind of relates to this. A while ago I was shitting around on tv tropes and I came across the article for Courtly Love. I wasn't particularly familiar with the concept because I've read very little literature from the time when it was most popular.

I had a bit of a "holy shit, I've experienced this" moment (but in a one sided form on my side) and have explicitly thought that even if the things that were in the way between me attempting to start a platonic relationship with this crush (the fact that they are twice my age, happily married with children and I see them as a parental figure) weren't actually an issue any more, I STILL wouldn't want to consummate it. At the very best, I'd just want to engage in a very cuddly and emotionally intimate platonic friendship with this person.

This probably isn't normal or healthy.

at first I thought you'd said Courtney Love and I was so confused

na

lmao, we were talking about courtly love in my british literature class a while back and for a few minutes I could've sworn that my professor was saying "Courtney Love" which confused the hell out of me (she has a strong english accent and for some reason her lilt on the word "courtly" sounded like "courtney" to me at first when I was only half paying attention).
