The (Nonlaminated) List: Fictional Character Edition
In the tradition of “The List”…as in, the list of five famous people you would be allowed to cheat on your significant other with should the opportunity ever arise (as explained in the episode of Friends where Ross has his list laminated)…I offer for your consideration my version of “The List: Fictional Character Edition.” **Hey, if you’re going to fantasize, why limit yourself, right? I figure I have at least as good a shot with any one of these characters as my husband has with Shania Twain or Britney Spears.**
You will note that my list does not contain any sadists, thank you very much. (You know who you are and you did not make my list!) Nor does it include any sparkly vampires. Sorry. The movies totally ruined that franchise for me. Pitiful. Simply pitiful.
So, without further ado, I give you my top five fictional character crushes. (Don’t judge me.)
5. Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings
Not this kind of king.
Hey, I didn’t have a place at the geek table in high school for nothing! Not only is he a king, he also does not have furry feet, isn’t geriatric, and is manlier than an elf. What more could a girl ask.
4. al’Lan Mandragoran from The Wheel of Time series
He’s the strong, silent type. A man of action and intellect. Like Aragorn, Lan is also the uncrowned king of a lost kingdom. Hmmm. Seems like maybe I have a thing for kings in exile.
3. Matrim Cauthon from The Wheel of Time series.
He’s the scallywag with the heart of gold. He’s just looking for a good time but keeps getting backed into being a hero. He seems like he would be a fun date. And, come to think of it…spoiler alert people…he ends up being royalty of a sort too.
2. Thor as played by
And not this sort of king either.
1. Richard Raines from Mythe: A Fairy Tale
This is a no-brainer, even though he is not a king or any other sort of royalty…at least that we know of so far! Who would I find more attractive than the character tailored made by me to appeal to all of my specific requirements of crushworthiness. Plus he’s free to come out in direct sunlight, being conveniently non-sparkly, and has none of those pesky blood cravings.
