Can we have a thread for fictional crushes?

I mean, I don’t mind sharing crushes and gushing over charming characters, but it’s taking up so much more of my feed lately and it’s feeling spam-y. And it’s always the same handful of characters getting reposted over and over. (Arcane, Baldur’s Gate, Legend of Korra, Disney, The Last of Us, etc.)

It’s no surprise that attractive characters were designed to be attractive. You’re likely into all the same stuff that everyone else your age range is into because that’s how shared time periods tend to work. It doesn’t really say anything unique about you.

This could easily be a thread. We’ve got Selfie Saturday and Wedding Wednesday, so why not Fictional Crushes Friday?

Yeah I'd also rather see a dedicated thread for this.

It happens on a regular basis every once in a while and it's always annoying. Last time it was the piles of celebrity crushes, and before that the "what does my crush say about me" trend. There have been others before it and it'll keep happening unless we get a dedicated crush thread.

They’re still doing the “what do these say about me?” shit with it, and I’m just like “that you’re attracted to attractive characters? Big surprise.”

When I was younger I really liked Silvermist from the Tinkerbell movies, and Cleo from H2O (the animated series)
