Character Crushes

Has anyone here read The Raven Boys? Because gah, all of them are just jaklsdf;jasdf.
Also, about the Doctor. I love all three of the Doctors from NewWho. I tend to view him as, well, one person. And each regeneration shows a different side of who he is and I find that really fascinating.
THE DOCTOR. JACK FROM BLOOD RED ROAD
GILBERT BLYTHE
Yes to all.
Oh yeah is the second book out yet? I really want to read it.
Gilbert Blythe is always so cute. There's this in Anne of Ingleside in which Anne gets all jealous and I'm furious with her.

Me toooo. I didn't realize how much I loved it until a couple hours after I read it. I was sitting in my room and I was so sad and lonely because I missed the characters. This happens to me quite often, but it's never happened to me on the level it happened with The Raven Boys. Maggie Steifvater is definitely one of the people I aspire to be like someday.

I feel awkward saying this....My secretary wrote this princessy story to make fun of fairy tale clichés, and one of the princesses is this eleven-year-old girl...and I swear I have a crush on her...it's bad. I squealed aloud when it talked about her wearing a red dress.
OMG, I have like so many book crushes...Percy Jackson
Peeta Mellark
Ethan Waite
and a lot more I can't think of...
i know i shouldn't be but i am in love with Pig from Disco Pigs and Sucking Dublin. When he's not being crazy, but sometimes even then.
You have an interesting taste, Maria. :D

I don't know who Ethan is, but Percy and Peeta are pretty boss. ;)
Still have an enormous crush on Ferrin. *sigh*
Can you explain that to me? I don't understand how you could like him at all.Psh. I'll ask Brandon what he thinks about that on Sunday. :D

Really? I don't know if you've read both books or just the first, but Ferrin is so fascinating to me! According to Rachel, he's "not bad-looking", and Jason notes that he can whistle well and has good pitch, so he already has two of my weaknesses down. But there's just so much to him. He kicks trash when it comes to swordfighting and he's decent with a bow and arrow. For crying out loud, he knows how to knock someone unconscious with a single blow to the head. He's intelligent, versatile, sneaky, knowledgeable, practical, has a good sense of humor, and yet he has this weak side that almost no one sees. He constantly doubts himself because of the life he's lived. You'd think that what other people think about him doesn't matter to him, but it does. He says the main reason he (view spoiler) in the first place, besides tradition, is because it's easier and safer. I think that's quite believable. He doesn't willingly (view spoiler) because of principle, but rather because the circumstances force him to. And yet he puts so much effort into the rebellion. Whatever he does, he does well, even if he's not sure of himself and others aren't happy about it, because he just wants to understand himself and he genuinely wants Galloran to be right about the kind of person he is. And he has this respect for talent, no matter who it comes from. He does have flaws, or at least dark sides to him, like his skepticism and his willingness to take an enemy's life. His character always keeps you guessing. I think, as a reader, that's tremendously fun to watch.
I just find it endearing that someone with the street smarts and general aptitudes that he has can still be so troubled and confused. I relate to him a lot. Plus, the idea of a displacer is fascinating in and of itself. Their abilities are cool, but they were made that way for a purpose, and it's interesting to see him use them both at others' expense and for others' benefit or just for himself.
There. How's that?

There. How's that?
I have indeed read both books....still hate him. :D But that probably has something to do with the fact that I am not a pubescent girl. XD
Or maybe it's just because we have different opinions and that is okay. XD
Oh, no...I agree with you. He's awesome for many of those reasons. But he still bothers me. Except...I predict that he will end up good. Having heavily analyzed all of Mull's books, there are very very strong parallels between Vanessa and Ferrin that lead me to believe that he'll play the "redeemed hero" for the Beyonders trilogy.
His name is Ferrin. He's in the Beyonders trilogy by Brandon Mull.

I definitely see the Vanessa parallels. That's part of the reason I think he'll stay good as well. He also bears some similarities to Warren, who was one of my first and biggest character crushes, so I've been doomed from the start. Hehe.

I just realized that the only crush I've ever had on a book character was Sirius Black and that was for like two months in sixth grade.
Mod
The only character crush I've had is six years younger than me. D: Except that there was a scene written where she's 14…three years off isn't so bad.
My crush is from a movie. He also has a girlfriend but I love him anyway. I keep switching my crushes but they are all played by the same guy. Mostly I like Pig.
I don't really have a crush on any characters...
@SevI was like that until literally a month ago. Then a girl I really like wrote this story with this eleven-year-old girl who just…made me feel stuff.

He's from Beyonders, so I won't spoil it for you.
I actually have mentioned him on this thread before, but there are several character crushes I have from that series and that author, so I think you're safe. ;)

@ Taylor: Don't worry, when you both grow up you'll be fine. My parents are eight years apart. :PI think I had a crush on Nico DiAngelo for a little while but... Meh...

Hey, my brother married a girl almost three years older than him.

My crush is like 36 so that's... 23 years apart. I don't think it will work out. :(

I have a celebrity crush on a guy who's turning 30 this year.
As for characters, none of their ages are specified, but I'm pretty sure one of them might be at least 40. And that's not counting any members of the Amar Kabal...

Does anyone else pretend there character is in the room doing weird stuff like hula dancing or is it just me?
I used to talk to my own characters out loud when I was bored. That's about it.
