Anyone have a crush on their own character?

[Inspector_Spinda]

I'm being totally serious. It's time to confess! Same goes for if you have parental feels towards a character, or even see them as a role model.

For me, my character is made up of a lot of positives I don't have, but wish I did and a lot of negatives I'm happy I don't have. He's super bold so sometimes, I find myself thinking 'what would he do?' in everyday life when confronting something. Other times he'll just be my baby

Am I the freak here?

[Wocalich]

I think my characters inevitably have parts of me in them so no, I don't have a crush on them. I do love them though.

[snailienz]

I think of most of my characters more as my children than as potential romantic partners, but if I'm being quite honest with myself, Bangor can, in fact, get it.

I love both of mine, mostly because they're loosely based off my husband and I and the basics of our personalities. So whenever I write them or make any sort of art, I always see my husband in him, and I love it.

i do! this demon chick...

she has a temper tho

[Inspector_Spinda]

Yes I can see she has two very big tempers

[MoseyP]

I suppose I find my protag Maggie kind of cute, but I don't have a crush on her. Also, I feel really parental over Suzuka but that might be because I named her after a girl I used nanny for in Japan ahaha

[simplykit]

those tempers are expensive lol 🤣

[elisabeth_ist]

Definitely not a crush, but parental feels? Hooo boy, yes. Particularly during the writing process. (Why won't that girl behave?)

oh, i also have a habit of passing out traits i have/wish i had to my characters like a deck of cards. makes getting attached to them one way or another extremely easy.

that being said, maybe i do have a lowkey crush on jade. it happens

[AmysGames]

Yeah, I've had it bad for several of my own characters. I make too many suave villain dudes, it's my weakness :'D

That said, I'll lovingly refer to most of my characters as my children and/or babies. I'm not sure if it's quite a parental sort of feeling, but I definitely feel strongly about them, haha.

[NickRowler]

I have crushes on several of my characters. I feel awkward about it because they are older than me. Like Blake who is sort of designed to be a zaddy.

[Kiweevil]

Shilo is my dad now and my real dad can't do anything about it HA

[foxnflames]

My character has a lot of personality traits that are similar to my own. He's my precious boy so it's almost parental

[Inspector_Spinda]

aw that's super sweet

[Inspector_Spinda]

Yeah, I've had it bad for several of my own characters. I make too many suave villain dudes, it's my weakness :'D

oh no x'D tbh same. a good villain is so fun what's not to love?

Tristan, the paramour and love interest in my novel is the representation of Lust...

So...the answer is yes.

I also enjoy putting him through hell...so...I dunno what that tells you XD

So, I have multiple WIPs, and I have one in particular where the protagonist is the awesome assassin named Amalia who kills rapists (because someone tried to rape her when she was a girl). She’s snarky, kick-butt, and borderline sociopathic so I definitely have moments where I want to be her when I grow up Plus, her morality is so interesting that I can’t help but respect her.
