Is in love yet again
April 24th 2011 14:37
As the title suggests I am in love again...but much like the other times that I have been in love it is actually with a fictional character or being. This isn't new, years where many women like myself have fallen head over heels for fictional characters thus this not surprising or that exciting. But like anyone in love I have this need to tell everyone and anyone that I am indeed in love and he and I will spend a beautiful life together...eventually....mayb e. My latest love affair is from a cute little and unfortunately cancelled show called Pushing Daisies. For those who have never heard of it - it's about the story of Ned a man that can bring back the dead by a touch but if he touched them again they would die and this time permanently. Ned the pie maker with help of a PI Emerson collects money by talking to the dead and solving murders. However in the first ever episode Ned and Emerson are on the case of a young lady called Chuck whom was murdered. The sad part is Chuck is Ned's childhood love and when he brings her back to life he doesn't have the heart to touch her again and permanently keep her dead. So the story is about Ned solving murders but the cutest part is the love between Chuck and Ned and the fact they are deeply in love but can never touch without her drying.
First and foremost I am in love with this show. It's cute and engaging and completely different to any other show that I have seen. That being said it was pretty easy for me to fall in love with characters in the show. All of them are sweet and all kinds of wonderful. But my particular favourite is of course the main character Ned. He's quiet, shy and sweet and the most cutest person I have ever seen on TV. How can you not fall for him? Did I mention I would marry if it was humanly possible to marry a fictional character. Here I must stress my infatuation is purely with the character Ned and although the actor Lee Pace is easy on the eyes it is not he whom I wish to hold in my arms.
I know it's shallow and kind of ridiculous but you got to admit it's kind of fun. In history women have being swooning over fictional characters for years so it makes feel a little less weird about myself. So thinking about this fact and trying to make myself feel better I conjured up a list of characters that have made women all over the world weak in the knees.
For me I think it all started with Mr. Darcy. Which surprises me as I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice and although he is quite a gentleman I would not call him charming.
I think even as you girls we were taught in that the princess always falls for the prince. Thus our first fictional character we fell in "love" with is the one and only Prince Charming.
Even gothic literature had it's fare share of desirable men to woo us all. It first started with Dracula and even the much later and the much less manly version Edward Cullan.
Although most of these infatuations of the fictional kind wither away as time passes and as other more charming characters come to entertain our fickle hearts. I think it's comforting to know most of us to do eventually grow out our childish ways and move on to the continually disappointing real men with all their imperfections and fallibilities. And despite all their short comings at the end of the day they are in fact real and unlike your perfect princes they can love you back in ways the fictional affairs could never.
