Who was your first book crush?

If there was one before him, I can't recall, but 11 year old me was in love with the youth version of 007 aka Alex Ryder from Stormbreaker. I wanted him to be my boyfriend so bad lol (I also wanted to be cool like him but that's another issue).

Hmmm. Trying to remember. I think it was either Lucius Malfoy (I crushed on him before the movies came out, but the casting of Jason Isaacs only increased my attraction) or Gilbert Blythe from the Anne of Green Gables series.

My actual first fictional crush was Jafar. My villain thing started early.

Hmm. If comic books count, Raphael. Yes, the turtle. (I should have gotten some idea I was asexual long ago when physical appearance or even species did not factor into my crushes AT ALL, hahah.)

If we're talking words-only books, I thought I had a crush on Raistlin Majere for awhile, but before long I realized it was more that I just related to him really hard due to also having a stupid broken body that kept me from reaching my potential.

Anne from the Famous Five books. I was super young.

Biggles. Decades later he's still a crush if I'm honest.

Was gifted a lot of Seseme Street/Muppets related books n' stuff as a kid and was oddly fixated on Oscar and Animal. Wouldn't learn until years later exactly why.

Lupin.

Little me was so disappointed when the series went on and we got to see very little of him at all... and then for some unfathomable reason Joanne hooked him up with Tonks and he died.

It's not been fifteen years and I'm not still salty.

Jesse from The Mediator books. I think I was thirteen.

Am I a weirdo? I've never had a crush on a literary character. After I've seen an actor portray them in a movie, sure, like Olivier as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, but book characters are too two-dimensional for me.

Holden Caulfield was my first and only book crush. I know I know, problematic bro culture red flag if your date thinks he's cool etc. Anyway I'm not even sure it was really a crush because I didn't really think about kissing or banging him, I more just had an infatuation with wanting him to be happy that I haven't with any other book character.

I think I'm probably shallow and need visuals to crush on characters, which is why I've had so many from TV and movies but none from books.

I believe it was.... Jason from Time Cat: The Remarkable Journeys of Jason and Gareth

Robin Hood was my first book crush.

Neatly sandwiched between my Spock obsession and the biggest ever need to be or be with the fourth Doctor, of Doctor Who fame.

Sara Crewe from A Little Princess I think.

I was enamoured by the descriptions of what she was like and how she told stories.

Re: Based on #6

None, but I tried to convince myself I had a crush on Harry Potter for like a year. I even wrote "I <3 Harry" at the end of all my diary entries for pretty much the entirety of 2000, lol.

I did have a proxy crush on a few characters, like Andrew from the Kit Pearson book Looking At The Moon. The protagonist Norah had a passionate crush on him, and I shipped it, so yeah, proxy crush. I remember being super disappointed that her crush remained unrequited. But I just looked it up and he was 19, while she was 13. I now understand why they didn't get together.

It was probably Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables.

I think that was before I read It (at around 13/14), which had Bill Denbrough (my crush on him did gain intensity by Jonathan Brandis playing him in the miniseries not long after I read It for the first time).

Caspian from Narnia!

[(Anonymous)]

I have to strain to remember, but I think it was Robin Hood.

Green is still my favorite color...

Eep.
Misfire!

Favorite Musicals

[(Anonymous)]

Adaptations count!

List all of your favorite musicals. Bonus points for listing your favorite casts, or fantasy casting.

For example:

Death Note the Musical 2015, with Urai Kenji.

Re: Favorite Musicals

[philstar22]

Sound of Music, the Lord of the Rings musical, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Hairspray, Lion King musical, Little Mermaid musical, really any of the Disney stories turned into musicals, Newsies, Oliver!, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Aida, Annie, Brigadoon, Dreamgirls, In the Heights, Les Miserables, the Pirates of Penzance, HMS Pinafore (I just really love Gilbert and Sullivan music, though these two are my favorites, I like most of their stuff),

I love the Music of Wicked but don't love the actual play itself given how many liberties it takes with the story, though I don't hate it the way I hate the book.

Into the Woods - I saw the 1991 recording with Bernadette Peters as the witch along with Chip Zien and Joanna Gleason as the Baker and Baker's Wife and just fell in love with it. I still have a copy of that recording on DVD and watch it for the nostalgia.

Same can be said for the 1998 recording of Cats.

Recent love is Six the Musical

Re: Favorite Musicals

[greghousesgf]

Hard Day's Night, Help and Yellow Submarine, the original version of Hairspray but not the remake, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Rocky Horror, Phantom of the Paradise, Singing in the Rain, Reefer Madness, West Side Story, Scrooge and I know there's some I forgot.
Fantasy casting: I liked the Producers but didn't like Matthew Broderick in it, his role should have been played by Robert Sean Leonard.
I have another idea about fantasy casting but it involves someone who's really unpopular here so I'm afraid to even mention this person.
