I was drinking Sprite. THANKS A LOT.

Anyways, forgive me if I'm not entirely coherent since my brain is gone today, but basically (and I think I've said this before but now that there's a thread for it, here it is again): there are a lot of celebrities that I think are physically attractive, but... well, that's it. I've only seen the glitz and Hollywood glamour and the scandals. Celebrities are not "real" to me. Of course they are real and have feelings just like other people, but we don't "know" them. All we see of them aside from their made-up modeling/acting/singing/TV hosting/okay seriously what does Paris Hilton do I really don't know selves is "NICOLE RICHIE ATE A HAMBURGER!" and "BRAD AND ANGELINA -- THIS ONE'S FROM YUGOSLAVIA!" articles, blurry photos, misconstrued quotes from interviews and the like.

But we see fictional characters when they're sad, we see them when they're happy, we see them when they're jealous and scheming for all the wrong reasons and when they've just woken up and their good days and bad days. Now, I'm not saying that fictional characters are real or should be considered as such -- I merely find it easier to get attached to someone whose daily life and ups and downs and entire personality we see, be they real or no, than to someone who is 50% plastic and always has to be on the lookout for the paparazzi.

I feel that there is nothing wrong with being attracted with a cartoon character at all. Yes it CAN be taken too far, but we are better than that. It's already been said beutifuly by Vox about why Frankie is so wonderful but I'll try and use my own words.
I fell in love with Frankies character because she houses all the traits that I look for in a woman. She's kind, loveing, patiant (mostly ) and accepting. Her voice also appeals to me greatly and I would love to hear it everyday. Frankies appearance, while stylized since she IS a cartoon, is also pleasing to me because she isant trying to be hot or sexy. She's pretty, wich is what I like.
I've been attracted to many female cartoon characters before. I used to be very attracted to Sango from Inuyasha for many of the same reasons that I love Frankie for but nowhere near the same amount. She was more of a crush where Frankie is, dare I say, a genuin love.
Now I want to show how I COULD take my love of Frankie too far (nothing rule breaking ofcourse). Since she is pretty much the ideal woman to me, and I have her in a sence dosent mean that I have given up on real woman. While I hope to find a lady very much like Frankie, I'm not looking for her reallife equivalant. I happen to chat with a very lovely and kind lady on another board who happens to be very much like Frankie in both looks and personality but I'm not going to start stalking her or hounding her, besides she's already spoken for.
I know that I'll find Mrs. Right someday but I'll always have Frankie in my heart... and on the season dvds when they get released.

As much as I appreciate the Frankie love guys (and I seriously do) I would just like to suggest for future posts that this doesn't get turned into a Frankie thread. I know she's a cartoon girl and I myself have admitted to dying to want to date such a sweet, and caring girl.

But I don't want this to become just about her, she's already got a thread and I don't want another clone. Just a thought you guys .

I, too, would rather this be a general topic instead of focusing on any particular characters, m'kay?

I don't think that theres anything wrong with it ether. I myself have had a few cartoon/anime/game crushes on guys and gals (I'm bi.) Sure my mom thinks I'm crazy, but she doesn't even like cartoons to begin with so there really isn't any way to explain to her

[some guy you dont know]

lets see.. i wont name them all, maybe not even any, because over the years i can name a bajillion. mostly though from animes and other shows from CN and those kind of shows. ill name some when they come to mind

I almost always find a character in my fandoms that I feel "attracted" to, although many times I'm much more attracted to their personalities and inner selves than anything about their appearance. For example, Eduardo! I would never consider myself physically attracted to him, but I just absolutely love his personality. Same with Wilt!

To the chagrin of my fiancee, I am attracted to many toon females, that go back to being five years of age. I find nothing wrong with it, as long as I know what is real and what is fantasy. I have my own cartoon creations, and I write stories on these creations; in essence I have created some female characters that are based off of real women I was attracted to over the years. You would be suprised to find out how many people are "closet toon lovers."

Wow, I used to think I was a real oddball because I've been attracted to cartoon characters all my life. Now I see, that I'm not as alone as I had thought.
