Introducing: 31 Days of Fictional Crushes, Starting Tomorrow!
Greetings pyjaks, I know what you’re thinking, it’s the end of the month, so it’s time to put out my monthly musings with music. Well, not this time. Things are going to be a little different.
Tomorrow, Blaugust begins, and for a while, I had this idea brewing in my head about how I wanted to participate this year. The first two years, I winged it, the third I answered a bunch of Bel’s prompts, and now I have an original idea of my own.
This was also inspired by one blogger who used to post all the time. The last time she was very active was when she did a Harry Potter challenge. I’m not sure what happened to her blog after that, but I know it wasn’t the only subject she talked about.
So, I will be doing a similar challenge to that, every day I’m going to upload a post talking about the fictional characters I’m head-over-heels for. Presenting, 31 Days of Fictional Crushes!
You may or may not have seen the gallery of them on this blog, but it’s always growing because of the comfort they bring. (They’re also all men because I’m straight hahaha!) Some of them are human and some of them are not. hell, some of them I don’t even know what the exact name for their species is!
I pondered for a bit what I would write about them. Well, the most obvious would be when I realized I was in love with them. Why do I love them? What’s my favourite quote? What are some unique memories and fun facts I have with these characters? Do I have songs that make me think of them? Music does make my imagination run wild after all! Some of them are from the same universe, so I might combine them into one post. Maker, hopefully, I can fit them all in one month! But that’s why I have to start this project early!
I may have written about a few of them before, and it might make the most sense for me to start with the most obvious one that everyone knows I love, like Optimus Prime, but that’s exactly why I am not starting with him this time! That way, my viewers will get to know the other characters I love besides him, and then when it’s his turn, well, it’s his turn, right?
I never use terms on the Internet like “simp” or “smut” when it comes to my fictional crushes. Why? Well, loving fictional characters is more than just about the sexual fantasies to me. It’s also about their personalities and what they could offer in a romance which is why when I think of them, I sometimes just imagine a kiss in the moonlight or a candlelit dinner with a dance. I can be pretty old-fashioned.
Anyway, keep an eye out, this challenge starts now, and if you’re feeling inspired and have just as many fictional crushes as I do, maybe you’ll want to do the same thing!
Happy reading and writing!
