Fictional Characters I Am In Love With

I wanted to do something light hearted again after the last few posts about moving! So, here goes, in no particular order:

1. Mac from Earth Girls Are Easy. Nevermind the fact that he's an alien who's actually blue and furry when he's not shaven, or the fact that I fell for the type of character in a lot of movies (the manic pixie dream person), I don't care. I think Mac is charming as hell. He likes piano, he learns quick, he prefers somewhere quiet as opposed to a club, and hey, two hearts are better than one. And yeah, the fact that he's played by Jeff Goldblum helps. 

2. Tate Langdon from American Horror Story. Alright alright, so this one isn't a particularly healthy obsession, as he's stone cold crazy. I have this terrible weakness for broken fucked up boys. As soon as he started crying I wanted to rip my heart out and offer it to him if it would make him happy. Then I realized I was watching TV. And I was not Violet. And I'm an adult. Don't judge me.

3. Sirius Black from Harry Potter. Even in the books I wasn't sure if I loved him or was in love with him. Older, seemingly crazy guy who turns out to be a teddy bear...I just really loved him in a lot of ways, and my heart still shatters every time I watch/read his death, and before the books finished I denied it until the last page when he still didn't come back.

 4. Louis de Pointe du Lac from Interview with the Vampire. Again, the attraction to tortured souls, I don't know what it is. Sure, I didn't quite imagine Louis to look like Brad Pitt when I was reading the book (waaayyy better than the awful film rendition) but it helped. I think I just liked that he hated being a vampire and told it like it was.
Something about these characters that are preserved in forever and needing someone is a huuuge weakness for me. It's a good thing guys like Tate and Louis don't really exist, or I would've been murdered as a teenager trying to find them.

5. Andrew Detmer from Chronicle. I so wanted to jump into the movie and save this guy from himself, be his manic pixie girl who makes him realize life can be good. This kid just broke my heart. I loved him.
I think the kicker is that he is probably the most realistic of the list. He comes from a broken abusive home and stumbles on something he thinks can make his life better that does the opposite. Guys like him exist and it makes me sad; I want to help them.

6. Nathan Young from Misfits. I actually hated how much I liked him at first because he's such a prick. Seriously he's such an asshole. I was imagining being in the group with them, getting harassed by him and wanting to punch him in his beautiful mouth and being really tangled up in this loathing/attraction.
But then he started showing other sides. Even though he was such a dick he had the ability to care about people. Then it was over. I just admitted it to myself.
I have a feeling the actor himself is kind of a stuck up prick too, seeing as he left the show by choice because he didn't want to be "doing it forever." Is one more season so much to ask? Goddamn. The show went into the crapper when he left.

7. Chandler Bing from Friends. He was pretty much my favorite right off the bat. I love funny awkward guys! I thought it was a shame that he was portrayed as the geeky guy women didn't like.
A sense of humor is probably a trait I consider one of the most important in a person. If you can't make me laugh (or you don't think I'm ever funny) then we really can't hang out.
I think at the very least Chandler would've been a cool friend to have. Him and Monica were so great, way better than all that Ross and Rachel nonsense.

 8. Jareth the Goblin King from Labyrinth. Maybe you disagree, maybe you know exactly what I'm talking about, but I thought Jareth had a pretty attractive hypnotic power. Granted, his idea of love was pretty screwed up, but still. I guess Sarah did the right thing rescuing her brother and whatnot, but I wanted to know how it would go if she'd stayed. I dunno. I'm attracted to terrible people.

I think that about covers it, or at least those are the main ones I can think of. Out of the whole bunch only two are healthy choices and only one is attainable and I basically got it: the funny friend you fall in love with. I already have my Chandler. :)
Still, damn these film people for making me feel things for crazy dudes. I guess it's safe to watch them from a distance in a world that doesn't exist. No big deal.
