:drool: Renji....

And yes....I have a strong belief Renji and Reno are related. <.< I have a whole red-haired facially marked men family tree in my brain. You see one night Reno was drunk in a bar and ran into a drunken Gojyo:

I fell in love with a character named Edmond from How I Live Now.. It's such a good book. I fell in love with him because the way the author describes him... He's just the sweetest guy, he doesn't talk much, but he doesn't have to... he understands you without you ever saying anything... i dunno he's just really awesome..


i fell in love with another character a long time ago.. His name was DAvid from Kotuku.. I don't really remember what about him I loved so much. I think I loved him because he really cared everyone.. he was always around to help and stuff.. he's the kinda guy that you can rely on you know?

wow... i just admitted i fell in love with book characters... out loud

code4destruction 10-14-2009 02:19 AM

*rolling on the floor laughing*

I'd like to know just who exactly then is the mother and who's the father. I think Reno is definitely more Seme than Gojyo. Then again...who knows what he and Rude do in that back room with Rufus?

:drool: Mmmm...man-sammiches...

Me and my friends have a Hot Men By Hair Color List.

It includes:
redheads/orange
black hair/dark blue
blondes/pink
brunettes
white/silver

I even made up a redhead treehouse club. Ichigo tries to join, but Renji laughs and says "no, you're orange." Then they argue about ichigo being the wrong name for him because strawberries are red and he's clearly 黄丹 (ouni)...which we think it literally means "yellow red lead." Renji's arguement then goes to Ichigo being dense as lead...gosh we kept it going for about 10 minutes of ranting ^_^ it was fun times.

Edit: honestly it's a sin for a man to be so sexy...SINFUL! :gonk:

Titenya 10-14-2009 02:25 AM

Phedre and Melisande from the Kisheil's Legacy Series... and Sam from Lord of the Rings... heh... I really can't go into details since the sight is pg 13 but yeah...

Sunlit.rains 10-14-2009 02:37 AM

Sindima: bwahaha. It's all good. Coming out of the I love book characters closet is a good thing.

Destruction: Glad to amuse. I've always thought of Reno as the mommy. I don't know if you've ever read Saiyuki, but I have a hard time seeing Gojyo ukeing for almost anyone. (maybe Hakkai, if Hakkai was all demon on him) But then I'm a fan of Rufus/Reno, Tseng/Reno, and Zack/Reno so *shrug*

Wait why are the blondes and pinks together? o.O Or are those pairings?

Titenya: I have a friend that's in love with Sam as well. Though we like to joke that's she's Sam and her bf is Rosie with the ribbons in his hair... Personally I like Legolas (in the book...eh he's ok in the movie) and Eomer (mmm rohan...)

code4destruction 10-14-2009 02:53 AM

1. Let me be the first to concur...Leggyman FTW! (has loved Legolas since the 5th grade >.>)
2. the blondes are together with pink because there aren't that many pink haired guys and because they tend to act like the stereotypical blonde (just more sadistic)
3. I've read and watched some of Saiyuki (not Reload though). I suppose I thinking along the lines of Gojyo begrudgingly going seke just because Reno's a bit more charming. It'd be like the nice seme calming the demanding uke. Kind of like:

Reno: "So I heard you've ever been bottom?"
Gojyo: "Of course. And I never will be. So just give up now," eying Reno suspiciously.
Reno: With a mischievous smile he taps his bat against his thigh. "I'm just saying...You never know unless you try. Might like it."
Gojyo: blushing. "You never shut up do you?"
10 minutes later.
Rude: knocking on the door. "Reno! Where's my glove?"

Sunlit.rains 10-14-2009 02:58 AM

Destruction:
1. Yeah he's really awesome especially in the books ^^ <3
2. I see. I can definitely get to that. I'm aware of some pretty sadistic violent blond characters though.
3. XD *dies on couch* I can see that to a degree. Do you know anything about Gojyo's past though?
<.< I'm thinking we should possibly move this to a pm as we may be getting a bit off topic?

Telendil Thaliel'dhar 10-14-2009 03:31 AM

I don't know about falling in love with characters. In lust? Certainly. Wishing they were real so I could fall in love? Yeah.

As for which ones ... maybe I shouldn't list them all. (Is there a smilie for blushes?)

Sunlit.rains 10-14-2009 03:34 AM

Telendil: Yeah basically the lust to love thing is the same for me. Go ahead and type some out ^^. Also the blushing smile :oops: you type oops in two : :'s and also the :drool: maybe be useful which is drool in two : :'s

Dreizehn 10-14-2009 04:27 AM

Oh jeez, I know I've had my fair share of them. Where to begin? I know I can't remember them all since I read so much and over the years you get to read about new characters who you just love.

Aubry from Amelia Atwater-Rhode'sDemon In My View was probably one of my first and still has to be one. Then there is Marius from Anne Rice's Blood and Gold. I love the Vampires as well, of yes.

Sunlit.rains 10-14-2009 04:38 AM

Dreizehn: Marius is totally amazing <3

darkangeleyes27 10-14-2009 06:11 AM

I don't know if this counts or not, but I have fallen for characters in many mangas. :P

Ayashi No Ceres
Toya <33
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...es116/toya.jpg
Fushigi Yuugi
Nuriko <333
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...116/nuriko.jpg
Tasuki
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...116/tasuki.jpg
Absolute Boyfriend
Soshi
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...s116/soshi.jpg
Night
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...s116/night.jpg

I mostly fell for them because if their personalities.
Expecially Nuriko's ;)
You'd have to read to see why :P

Sunlit.rains 10-14-2009 06:13 AM

Darkangel: Nuriko is pretty awesome. I was always a Nakago fan myself (who you probably hate but oh well)

Yes he is!
Nope! I don't hate him.
I don't even think I dislike any character in that manga ;)

Lune Selet 10-14-2009 07:56 AM

Tatsuki was all ways my fav from fushigi yuugi. But I did fall in love with Yusuke form Yu Yu hakusho. Not Hiei, not Kurama, Yusuke. I usually don't do that if there's already a romantic interest but i don't care! He's personality makes me go "WHOOOOOOO" *giggle*

Haha! I guess you like personalities also? :P

Lune Selet 10-14-2009 08:19 AM

yeah! Its a combination of looks too but the personality is the deciding factor. I don't think i've ever heard of any one really falling for him. I used to like Hiei but everyone liked him. I prefer the jokers that are also bad ass.

Sunlit.rains 10-14-2009 03:14 PM

Darkangel: ^^ well I'm glad you don't hate him. I find a lot of Nuriko fans do. I just always felt he needed a biiiig hug.

Lune: Tasuki is probably my second favorite. He's just awesome.

haha yes :P
While reading the parts with Nuriko, I just got bubbles in my stomach because his personality is just so awesome! :cool:

Yeah?, the side writings that Yuu Watase (<33333) writes in her mangas explain that NO ONE likes Nakago. He definitely just needed a biiiiig hug! =P

Sunlit.rains 10-14-2009 07:28 PM

Darkangel: Yeah I know Yuu Watase also said he was her favorite. I was drawn to him right away and grew very attached to him. Even though he did a lot of evil things....in a way I don't blame him. It's all the emperor's fault! Poor chibi Nakago T-T

sparkly cullen girl 10-14-2009 10:40 PM

EDWARD CULLEN ^^ not pattinson, edward. ok fine not madly in love but i like twilight and im team edward so... yeah...

madamelsie 10-14-2009 11:29 PM

I actually kinda fell for Dracula in Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian". You barely even meet him in the book and he's so totally evil and stuff, but apparently that didn't deter me.

Lust = most definitely. but after awhile, as you learn more about the character, you truly begin to feel some sort of connection to them, as if they are right there beside you. Sometimes...I know this sounds weird but, I argue with the characters I make up. Or when I'm working out, I hear one of them motivating me...:oops: (<-- : oops : = blush )

A really good writer can form a character as if they're a real person and portray them vividly. Soon, the characters write the story for you, and you become only a medium. Yuu Watase has alluded to this truth when commenting on Nuriko in Fushigi Yuugi. You give them a name and some basis of a personality or past, then it's up to them after that. So,yeah...it's very possible for that "lust at first sight" to develop into some strange form of love. Just imagine if they were real. They are based off of real emotions, real struggles. So what if they are ink and paper? And soon one finds themselves falling for particular character types, like the strong silent type, or the wild trickster, or the heroic nice guy, or the hopeless romantic...*sigh* Books and anime have raised my standards for real men too high. I wonder if that is why most people don't have lasting relationships now-a-days. They probably would if they were more like the characters out of imagination. :sweat:

Fae152 10-15-2009 02:25 AM

My first book love was Drizzt Do'Urden from, well a number of books by Salvador. He's a dark elf and I don't like him much any more. xD

My current book love is Gerald Tarrent from The Cold Fire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman. You should all read it. They are the best books ever written in my opinion. Who can't love an evil, witty, sorcerer? And there's so much character depth within the books you can't help but fall in love with all the characters in some form or fashion.

EDIT: but these don't include my manga crushes. That list is very long. xD
