The "Your Imaginary Friend" thread

[dieddead46]

Inspired by a post in this section (http://www.fosters-home.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3695), does anybody here have an imaginary friend they've created for Fosters, or perhaps an imaginary friend they had when they were younger that they've drawn a picture of?
This was my imaginary friend when I was... About 7, maybe 8.
Mr. E, he was a crime fighting private eye space squid.. I miss him.

For some odd reason he looks kind of familiar, but I have no idea why.

Nicely done!

I kind of blame Mars Attacks and Bugsy Malone for his creation. Thanks Did you have an imaginary friend?

Nice picture. You were a very creative 7/8 year old.

I had two imaginary friends when I was little. I'm not entirely sure what they looked like though. I was three or four when I created them and they were gone by the time I was six. They were named Peabee and Pawbah.... hence my username. Maybe I'll try drawing them. If I do I'll go ahead and post the picture.

Yeah, ADHD does that to you lol. My mum says I started my own detective agency, finding car keys, library cards and things with Mr. E.
Would be nice to see Peabee and Pawbah, were they twins, or related in anyway?

Sort of. Piggy started out in my imagination but eventually moved from there into a 1.5" tall plastic pig. He ended up living in Lego City along with several Playskool figures and a tribe of Weebles. G. I. Joe was there as well, along with some superheroes, aliens, several characters of indeterminate origin, and a mantis-shaped android. He spent a lot of time in a small spacecraft (built from Lego, of course), exploring the pipes running along the roof of the basement, and there were occasional trips to the mysterious Outdoors. Believe me, it was a lot stranger than it sounds.

That's a pretty cool IF you've got there, DiedD, I like the design, very original. Yeah, I had IFs when I was little, they were all "human" though. They did however have the power to be invisible, and when I was with them, they could help me become invisible too (heh, if only that were the case for real!). One could shrink in size and lived in doll or display houses, but even he was human. Most of them took after the characters in the story Peter Pan. And, well, I've got a long story concerning my IFs, which is likely best left for another time, possibly even thread.

Here's some pics I drew a number of years ago for a book/autobiography I wrote featuring my IFs.

Imaginary siblings seem to be a common one in reality, strange how none ever seem to be featured in Fosters.

Yeah really, the closest we ever got to that dynamic was the episode "Mac Daddy" right up until the end anyways.

Maybe you could also add also Frik and Frak from the episode "Pranks for Nothing" to this very thin list but I don't think it was ever established what their relationship was, brothers, cousins, good friends...all three?

So I guess that one would count if you believe it so.

Wow...I inspired someone! ...I have this weird warm fuzzy feeling in my chest...

Gosh...growing up I had an imaginary friend that EVOLVED. It first started as my hand that had a Winnie the Pooh character on each finger. Then, once I socialized a little more, he turned into this black creature...Demon like. He made me call him Jabber in public, but his real name was Senior Satan...He ran away when I was 11. (Said I was too old to have an imaginary friend, and that I needed real ones...Harsh blow. XD)

Now that I think about it...I think I should've been worried about this. I didn't even know spanish, so I don't know why I added "Senior". Kinda funny, that years later, I discovered JTHM. (It had a character who's name was Senior Satan...)
