If you could have a romance with any fictional character, who would it be? [More:]For me, it's Cap Garland from the Little House series.
So predictable, but Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Especially if he looks like Colin Firth. Mmmmm.

Yer not as predictable as I am, iconomy. But predictable or not, it's Angua from Discworld, hands down.

Definitely Mr. Darcy, or Mark Darcy. Colin Firth, why can't you be mine?

Anna Karenina. And I would have a nice life insurance policy taken out for her. . .

I always thought Rosa Saks in Kavalier & Clay seemed really appealing.

Ford Prefect from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (c'mon! He's funny and smart and resourceful and ludicrously lucky in a kind of lopsided way.), or Dr. Who--either the Tom Baker or Christopher Eccleston incarnations. Claims geek crown.

As a child I had a huge crush on both Gilligan and Shaggy from Scooby Doo. I'm also very hot for Captain Hastings from the Poirot series shown on PBS. As for somebody strictly from a novel and not influenced by tv or film, I'd probably go with either Captain Wentworth from Jane Austen's Persuasion or Mr. Weston from Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey.

I once wrote a novel where the main character marries Lord Gerald Palliser from the Anthony Trollope novels.

This could open up a whole new area of fanfiction. . .

I always wanted to save Jude Fawley from himself in Jude the Obscure. I think I was a little bit in love with him.

Zonker from Doonesbury - and then, okay (oh god, nerd alert) Sirius Black. I cried and cried when he died. Elizard is going to have to fight me for Ford Prefect and Tom Baker's Dr. Who and I'll add Spike from Buffy to the mix as well. There's also a small 19th century self portrait at the Walters in Baltimore that I've been in love with for years, but he's not a fictional character, really.

Dr. Gregory House (House) or Al Swearengen (Deadwood). Yes. I've got problems.

When I was a kid, I really liked Kenickie.

I guess the bad boy complex is deeply rooted.

Oh jeez, I have to admit the first person that popped into my head was a Colin Firth-y Mark Darcy.

I'll try and think of someone else.

P.S. I want Atticus Finch to be my dad.
posted by Specklet 26 October | 11:39
Luke Danes from Gilmore Girls before the abysmal last season.
Someone played by Alan Rickman or Bill Nighy or Stephen Rea in the Crying Game. The Divine Wino of my dreams.
i dunno, i'll try to think of something better when i have my wits about me.
Someone possessed of inner strength and the ability to roll with it.

arsey, I'm perfect for you! Except I have blonde hair instead of black. And not so thin. And I laugh way too much. And I like a lot of sunshine. But check this out:

Black dress? Check.

Twisted humor? Check.

Bad housekeeper? Check.


See? Almost Perfect.

For me? Oye. I don't really fall (romantically) in love with characters. Either that, or it's that I fall in love with all of them - which is pretty much the same thing.

Let's see... As a bookmark/placemarker, I'll say Edward Rochester. But really, he's not at all my type. I only love him because Jane loves him; Ill think about it more and get back here.

I knew that already taz but you're not fictional.

I could be fictional!

For you.

I would have to say George Clooney's character in From Dusk Til Dawn. Or Indiana Jones. Or Daniel Craig as James Bond. Or any character played by Jude Law.

You're not alone, MGL. I have a longstanding crush on the Moorish Chief.

I actually thought of Dr. House, and Morticia Adams is good too.
posted by rainbaby 26 October | 12:49
Oh I totally agree with Dr. House. It is my great dream that Fox should air a show called "Rossi" at 7 on Tuesdays so that the tv listings would read Rossi Bones House.
posted by jrossi4r 26 October | 12:56
Yeah, I call Dr. House my boyfriend.
posted by Specklet 26 October | 13:10
What, no Harry Potter?

No, not for me. But damn, what a hard question. I'm too boy crazy to pick just one. From literature, aside from characters I like in association wth their portrayal by hotties, I would have to go with a Heathcliff or Howard Roark... which is so odd to me to realize. I have dated some pretty impossible types in real life, though...

But for movies/tv, it's a long, long list. At the top are Russell Crowe as Bud White, John Malkovich as Vicomte de Valmont, Ryan Gosling as Noah Calhoun and Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski. With a little realism for flavor, not that it's really realism, give me Paul Rudd in anything, really. He's always Paul Rudd. YUM. And House, with Wilson.

Well, if we want to talk about art, she was tacked up on the wall wherever I happened to live, throughout my late teens and most of my twenties. . .

I mean, is there any better hippieboy fantasy fodder?

Lloyd Dobbler. Only he'd either be my age or I'd be his. Cause at 31, it's getting a little weird for me to keep him as my fallback fictional boyfriend.
posted by amro 26 October | 13:58
Y'all already stole all my crushes except one: Severus Snape/Alan Rickman. *swoon*
posted by deborah 26 October | 14:00
Any of the characters played by Louise Brooks basically. I've got a thing for flappers I guess.
posted by King of Prontopia 26 October | 14:04
Oh man, I think Lloyd Dobler is creepy as hell.

I think I'm going for Adam Baldwin as Jayne from Firefly. Or the Darcy/Firth combo.

Mentioning Heathcliffe just makes me think of the Thursday Next novels.

If we're talking about a purely frivolous brief sort of thing, I think I might be in the mood for Fabrice de Sauveterre.
posted by tangerine 26 October | 14:20
Gah, I, too, immediately thought of Colin Firth-ish Mr. Darcy (before I remembered that he's kind of a dick).

I always fall for the sidekicks, so my list includes Sol Star from Deadwood and Wash from Firefly.

As a kid, the list was pretty muck Dickon from The Secret Garden and Almanzo Wilder from the end of The Little House on the Prairie series. And for awhile I wanted to marry Anne Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables.

You all are high. The sexiest hottie is by far the twins played by Haley Mills in the original Parent Trap movie. Anyone who disputes this faces me in a duel.
