Anyone have a crush on their own character?

[surenlicious]

Absolutely! I have a severe weak spot for the King and his Knight.

[Inspector_Spinda]

lmao oh no. what did they do to you?

[LadyN]

Hah hah hah hah- Yes

[pilot-obvious]

I have a crush on one of my characters but I'm really embarrassed to admit who... so I'm just going to leave a line up of all of them so I can leave you hanging.

[kmlangleyauthor]

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.

All my characters are my babies... and I also have two kiddos and they are weirdly similar feelings

I don’t think I usually get a crush on any of my own characters (see above lol), but everyone else’s? Oh, yes. I catch the feels quite fast

[PapaDom]

No.

[TheDoublekey]

I wouldn't say an actual crush, but rather (as you said) some sort of parental feeling towards them. But most of the time, if I have to be honest, I sort of perceive them as friends/family. I tend to get very emotionally attached to them and because I know every little thing about 'em (I'm their creator after all ) I feel like we're embarking on that journey together.
Perhaps it's also partly due to the fact that I think about them when I'm also with my family or friends so... yeah.
This always happens pretty much with every series I create and when I have to kill a character off, it pains me a lot...

Yep, I have a crush on all my main characters, even the female ones, and I’m not gay or bi-sexual. I just really love the living daylight out of them. And I don’t mean it in a parental way ^^
Granted, I’d rather think of them getting love dovey with their SO. But I also really enjoy seeing/drawing them in flirty or lovey poses. Not sure if that counts or if I’m just a huge pervert, but nobody will ever love my characters as much as I do ^^ <3

[Inspector_Spinda]

daww. i think that's valid though. sometimes i feel the same. i have weird relationships with drawn fictional characters.

[MasterValkyrie]

I do, but I shouldn't. My taste in women is completely different from who she is (personality wise).

Holy shit no.

I'm more of the 'these characters are my kids' kind of creator I guess? So the idea of being attracted to them is unbelievably horrifying tbh

[Inspector_Spinda]

i also feel they're my kids sometimes. but i sort of flip between the two depending on what scenes im thinking about. lol i hope it doesn't sound weird. i guess it is a weird relationship because my character is way older than me and in real life that would be impossible.

[Kura]

I have been informed that my reply may sounds rude like I am 'disgusted by everyone that thinks this'

That is not the case, that was more my reaction to the idea of me personally with my own current cast of characters ^^;; not at the idea as a whole. I have nothing against writers who create characters to be hot for themselves.

[Inspector_Spinda]

nah you're good. you werent being rude. to me at least

[CosmicLeon]

I absolute do. I love my characters and they are often reflections of people I know, and reflections of my own personality. I have been told by my friends that Rokuzo has a similar vibe to me. That is when I am feeling sassy and assertive (which is not always the case). If I had to pick romantic interest v.s parental its a toss up depending on the character. But, mostly parental because I have a relationship irl so I don't have much need to feel attracted to my character(s). (I totally crushed on other characters in the past though) But, my characters are an outlet to express my interests and hobbies and philosophies.

I definitely have a crush on my male MC. I'm a sucker for the grumpy bois with dark hair

[kkaawmics]

I definitely swoon for a few characters here and there not everyone but certainly I gave myself a a good number of fantasy-fulfilling OCs so I feel you.

[DukeOfOool]

Lmao, as I mostly derrive my story ideas from dreams; being lucid is very usefull; it was only a question of time, before collecting an 'amount' of characters from a certain type of dream.

So yes!

Well as time continues I start to replace the 'me' in those ideas with another character and I'm left with a multitude of romance stories in unique settings. Hope I can make money of them in the future xD.

[nostalgicroxas]

I wouldn't say I have a crush on my characters, but there are some I like far more than others. Overtime I've learned that the ones I dislike, I generally need to develop more to see if they have any redeeming qualities at all (ie is a crazy sociopath a kind cinnamon roll? or can he be? and why).
There are definitely some that I feel parental to, some end up being a surprise - I don't realize how much I like them until I have to write the actual thing of something bad happening to them and have to deal with them crying in the moment. I have to tell myself, it'll be okay, it'll be okay, even if I haven't thought of the solution that makes that true yet QAQ

[Kittyfoofo0]

Yeah, it's ....

What can I say?
