List five fictional people -- from television, movies, books, whatever -- that you had a crush on as a child (or early teens). Then post this on your LiveJournal so other people can be assured that you're as weird as they thought.

1. Absolutely hands down: Han Solo. First crush ever. Even at the young age of six I was completely smitten with him. I came up with some crazy Mary Sue plot over the years between the three original movies so that I could "be" in the movies.

2. Starbuck from Battlestar Gallactica. Loved him tremendously. So fun, so full of life, yet brave when it counted.

3. Sonny Crockett/Sonny Burnett from Miami Vice. That was a really big one. Really, really big. I faithfully sat down every Friday night to watch MV and I loved it.

4. Somebody in Riptide.

5. Hawk from Airwolf. Loved Jan Michael Vincent in that show.

6. Flint from GI Joe. Both the comic version and the animated series. In the comic he was kind of a playah. In the show he was a bit more of a Duke/Hawk clone. Either way, I loved him.

7. Ardeth Bay, from the Mummy. What an incredible character he ended up morphing into. Er, not in the movies---in fanfiction and my head. The strong leader of the last of the Medjai, powerful, educated, and fierce, yet understanding.

8. D, from Vampire Hunter D. Strong, silent type, with tremendous powers and amazing poise.

9. Athos from the Disney live-action Three Musketeers (Kiefer Sutherland). Delicious dark past, tortured feelings...

10. David from the Lost Boys. Yep, Kiefer again.

11. Indiana Jones. Oh, that Harrison Ford. He corrupted me.

12. Faramir. Loved him in the book so much. Loved him even more in the movie.

13. Skywise from Elfquest. I wanted to count stars with him, oh yes.

14. One of the Gobots. I am not making this up. I can't even remember which one now.

15. Ziggy from the Playstation game Xenosaga, who was such a fascinating character. He once was human, but years of service as a soldier to his corporation has seen him become more of a cyborg than an organic. Awesome, awesome character.

16. I suddenly can't remember his name, but he was in Final Fantasy III, as the ruler of a small country, and he was blonde, and quite cheerful. Not my normal fixation, but still interesting.

17. Gilder from Skies of Arcadia. A rogue, a gunslinger, and a yummy hot guy.

18. Connor Macleod and Duncan Macleod from Highlander. Oh, delish. I especially loved Connor, with his smarty smarts from having lived so long and his enigmatic presence. Oh, and the Kurgan (sp). I think the actor was on Earth 2 as well, and he was great there.

19. Jamie Waring from the Black Swan. Oh, Tyrone Power, you are so tasty in that movie, running about without a shirt.

20. Captain Blood in, well, Captain Blood.

21. Robin Hood in the Adventures of Robin Hood. Gotta love that Errol Flynn. So zesty and light. Also loved the Showtime series with Michael something-or-rather...he was absolutely amazing to look at, and so angsty.

22. Arthur from Excalibur.

23. Slayn from Record of Lodoss War.

24. Adam Ant.

25. One of the Hazzard boys.

26. SEVERUS SNAPE. Brave, nasty, tortured, dark, angsty, sly, sarcastic, poetic...I'll stop now.

I just couldn't stop at five. Actually I could probably keep going, but I shouldn't.

*dies* I was a purist whose only changes would be to correct the capitalisation from SABIN to Sabin and the like. Hehehe.

Edgar dreams. Ooo.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

FFIII was the last game where I changed names. It just became too difficult when I would read hints or articles and I couldn't immediately make the connection between which character was which.

The Edgar dream was crazy. I owned a charter fishing company and we were in a terrible storm but we had to bring the boat in. I was shouting at him over the storm to go in but he insisted on helping me. He was absolutely beautiful. I actually wrote about 36 pages of a romance novel based on that dream.

Guh, and you know, I was just sitting here a few hours ago bemoaning the fact that I don't want to spend 8723948728934723947 hours playing the game again, but I'd love to be able to watch/read it, to re-acquaint myself with the characters and get back into some of those damned unfinished fics of mine.

... Crazy dreams can be fun. Even more so when they spawn stories. <3

That would be lovely, wouldn't it? To sit and watch it like a movie...wow.

I wonder if anyone has done that...made a video of all the salient plot points and cutscenes...

Some of those older RPGs just took so long to get through...four hundred fights with some wolflike thing to raise yourself two levels...ugh. Nowadays they seem to give you a better balance...when I was playing Xenosaga a year or so ago I noticed how user-friendly it was. You didn't have to spend ages fighting random monsters to continue to the next portion of the plot.

It'd be absolutely wonderful if they had. Just... something. So I can remember the world and the characters properly. I don't have this problem with FF8... those characters are far more "formed" in my head.

*nodsnods* Exactly, with the levels. Levelling up is nice, and necessary, but when you've got to spend nine hours running around in fields, it loses its appeal.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

The very worst game ever for levelling up has to be Phantasy Star for the Sega Master System. Days and days spent accumulating money for the blasted hovercraft. Then all over again for the landrover. And I literally mean days.

[saruwatari.livejournal.com]

Days. I'd shoot myself. I can't handle that type of drawn-out levelling up and still be entertained.
