What human traits do Imaginary Friends have?

Imaginary Friends have many of the same characteristics that humans have. As shown in many aspects, they have love, fear, anger, jealousy, envy, and just about every other feeling there is. They also eat meals, use the rest room, brush their teeth and socialize with other friends around the house. While it seems that this changes depending on which Imaginary Friend is being looked at, well, they are usually similar to their creator and that determines their personalities.

The friends also appear to follow the same pattern as humans due to the fact that anger and jealousy are usually dominant over some of the other feelings, in exception to a few like Wilt who is always doing the right thing, unless the situation really deemed that he did otherwise. But, for the most part, it appears that Imaginary Friends are in some aspects, more human than human, although other aspects are unknown. While Imaginary Friends can fall in love, it is unknown if they could ever, dare I say, reproduce, and many other aspects of human traits have yet to be seen in the Imaginary Friends.

Imaginary Friends also have the capability to operate vehicles, as Bloo and Wilt effectively drove Madame Foster’s car in one of the episodes. While Bloo didn't seem to watch the road that much, they didn't have any major crashes, except running through a couple of fences. Also, in that same episode, Coco was expressing her love for a lamp, which indicates that they can indeed fall in love with other Imaginary Friends and/or people objects, which may have an important factors in the upcoming episode "Frankie my Dear..." Although I know Berry fell in love with Bloo, well, a lamp is different than an Imaginary Friend, so it opens up other possibilities.

Imaginary Friends have many of the same characteristics as Humans, as I have previously stated. They are capable of understanding logic and are able to understand television shows and many of them actually enjoy watching television shows. They are capable of following complex rules as Fosters has many rules and they are also just as capable of breaking those rules wittingly. Bendy, in the episode "Everyone Knows It's Bendy", knew how to break the house rules and how to frame others for the deed. He also proved that Imaginary Friends can be sycophants and easily manipulate their words in order gain the favor of others, and to trick others into placing faith in their words.

(END)

With that, I hope that you will take the time to post in this topic and let us know what your answers to these questions are, and what theories you have about the show.
