I get the feeling. I don't think it's rational or correct and I don't think you deserve to feel it, but I understand it and feel the same way myself if I'm honest.

[philstar22]

This is why I never imagine them with actual me. In my fantasies, I'm always a hero, doing good things, saving lives, being awesome, and totally deserving whoever I'm pairing myself with.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. Plus, with some fictional crushes, them being real would mostly result in a hilarious fish-out-of-water story rather than a romance.

"Sir, you cannot bring a sword on an airplane unless it is in your checked luggage. No, it doesn't matter that it's magic."

[(Anonymous)]

That kind of stuff is just... weird to me. Yes, I have crushes on fictional characters, but I don't ever imagine them being in my life or vice versa.

[(Anonymous)]

I've done it as a coping mechanism in my darkest of dark times - having a specific voice to talk to about my day and what I'm doing really did help keep me from dwelling on bad brain shit. but I could never write fic of that kind or even read any.

[(Anonymous)]

I definitely do. It's not the real version of me, though. Since it's all fantasy, I'm a fantasy version of myself, just like the crush is my fantasy version of themselves.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's fair to describe it as weird. Fantasizing about getting with your fictional/celeb crush seems to be a pretty normal behavior, albeit not one I cannot relate to in the least.

Not jumping on you here. Just saying.

[(Anonymous)]

*albeit one I cannot relate to in the least.

Ugh, double negative.

[sparklywalls]

When I was younger and more likely to indulge in me + character thinking I usually imagined a version of myself that fits in better with the overall canon and is generally more interesting than real life me (sort of like the Reader insert stuff, only I felt like nobody wants to read that shit so never wrote it down.) At the same time, I can sort of get how thoughts of real life you might mentally block your fun.

But without knowing what characters you're talking about, who says you're not deserving of them? Most fictional characters aren't perfect either. I don't think you should be ashamed about having a harmless fantasy.

[(Anonymous)]

I figured out that one (of two) main reasons why I don't read Celebrity/Reader fanfic is because not even in my deepest most wild fantasies could I accept the idea that my fav celeb would want to sleep with me.

[(Anonymous)]

I have little fantasies about sex with my favorite celeb even though it's impossible that he would want to sleep with someone who looks like me. But even in my fantasies I can't make it into a relationship. I would drive him straight up the wall and I know it.

[(Anonymous)]

Don’t feel ashamed, OP! I used to feel the same way, but I started imagining different versions of myself that better fit in my crush’s world and that helped quell the shame.

[(Anonymous)]

Anon behind the sentiment if not the secret, here—It’s not so much that I can’t accomplish great feats of daring or whatever, but that I’m not even good at my real, in this world responsibilities, am not super talented at much of anything, am not really a nice person, and am not physically attractive. I’d basically be imagining an entirely different person with my same name, height, and hair and eye color pairing off with another fictional character.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for making my maudlin comment into a secret, OP!

[bio_obscura]

I feel this hard.
