Do you find it strange that I love a fictional character?

[Anonymous]

Is it weird that I love Marada Uchiha and want to actually be with him? he also has amazing leadership skills and is so strong and beautiful I love him, I have many art drawings of him and many pictures/figures and photos of Marada and I also write many original character stories of him, related to a mature audience, a lot of my stories would feature Madara being intimate with my original character or OC and of course the OC is me, but a lot of people like my stories so I continue to write on Wattpad about Marada and my OC, I'm guessing people like my stories since I have over 10,000 followers on my writing account, and many requests and emails for me to finish a story or chapter, so I'm actually booked with my Marada stories but it's because I put my passion/heart and soul into because I love Marada and what I'm really sad about, is that this isn't real and I'm really sad about it, because it breaks my heart, why can't it be real, why can't I be one with Marada and really marry him, I can't even marry him because he's not real and it's killing me, I just don't know what to do anymore, there's so many reasons why I love Marada, and I know in my heart if I were married to Madara I would make him so happy and he would be so loyal to me because there would be no one that compares to me. What should I do? I do not want a "real life" man I don't like them because I love Madara, I cannot bring Madara to life and I cannot unfortunately become an anime character to be with him... I'm honestly confused and heartbroken because I don't know if this is a problem, like I really don't know anymore *sighs*

You know what true love is? I learned the other day from watching The Nutcracker and the four realms movie, that true love is sacrifice so am I willing to sacrifice my own life for Marada YES because I love him and that is what true love is about, you may call it a fantasy but I know in my heart I love Marada.

I used to be scarily obsessed with a fictional character, as well. Looking back, I really did come off as psychotic. I really, I think I just needed something to obsess over to distract myself from the grieving I was going through. But anyway, I am able to confidently tell you that while it isn't completely abnormal to be so in love with a person who doesn't, and will never, exist, it definitely isn't healthy. As for me, I used to wish that I didn't exist as well, because of how delusional I had become.

I think how you feel will change with time. Also, I do think that it will be okay to entertain your feelings until then. Even afterwards. This is embarrassing to admit, but do I still read Y/n fanfictions of my favourite characters? Yes, and I have since I was ten years old. Will I quit soon? Lol no. But I think you really need to know where to draw the line. You won't be able to have stable relationships with real people if you're too caught up over someone who doesn't exist.

Also, I want to make it clear that you do NOT have to feel bad about crushing on a fictional character. They were professionally designed to weave their way into people heart's. So to answer you initial question, no, it is definitely not strange. Nothing is wrong with you, and it's normal. Just make sure you're keeping a healthy balance and remembering that your "relationship" with this character only goes as far as a fantasy created by fanfiction writers.

I get that this might not mean much coming from a fifteen year old girl who isn't too experienced or wise or anything, but I did my best, because I know exactly how you feel.

Now, don't be shy and drop your Wattpad @ 😂

Uhm... I don't know what to tell you... I was in love with Ren Honjo but in 2009 when Ai Yazazwa killed him off I literally was sad and cried for 3 months because I really felt a bond to the character my mom even laughed at me and thought it was weird... and I was reading the new chapters every month so I felt like they were my friends but now that I am older I think it is very weird myself 😂
All I can recommend is get out and meet some real guys, no one is ever going to compare to that character because they are well written and obviously not a real flawed human... Don't be in love with the imagination of one persons idea of a man... Find a guy you like and try to have a real relationship LOL

[Asker]

... um I guess hypothetically, you are right

[Anemone978]

Yes try it... real romance is 100 times better than imaginary...

[AdithyaR]

Its not too strange. Fictional characters are ideals and this almost perfect, so its common for people to attach feelings to them. Most of us go through a phase like that and you'll eventually grow out of it.

If you want a tip help, Sasuke at the peak of his hatred didn't hesitate for even a second to stab Karin or try to kill Sakur, Kakashi and Naruto.
Madara is said to feel an even more immense amount of hatred. So feel free to love him but he is more likely to just use you for his goals and kill you if you become inconvenient.

[Berethor]

What you nervous about? you anonymous. Even if Madara Uchiha was a real life celebrity then there was next to zero chance that he would marry you, yea he strong and beautiful, one of the strongest characters in Naruto, and guess what, a lot of women are aware of that, so a very big competition, he also a bad boy and we know that all girls want bad boys, there is a trope about that. Anyway, Madara Uchiha is fictional character, so it impossible for you to meet him in real life, maybe you should get a Madara Uchiha Dakimakura. :)

[AmandaYVR]

You're living in a fantasy world, girl. You love this 'man' because he's a character, written to appeal specifically to young females. The longer you hold on to this, 'him' the less less energy you will invest in a "real man." You can have your entertainment, and fantasies, but you cannot have a fictional character.

This is the classic 'Disney complex.' There is no Prince Charming, without flaws. Because they are not human. They are fantasy, escapism.

Time to grow up.

Write your own character. Or, continue writing about this Marada character, but don't kid yourself into believing that he can ever be real.

[Zandoval]

Well this is quite interesting as a fellow fan of Naruto. Although I don't have extreme fantasies like that, there are female characters whom I also find rather attractive. In Naruto, I like Tobirama though. (Not in a romantic way or whatever but guess it is directly opposed to you lol).

[Asker]

But... I can't physically be with him... I'm wondering if this is a problem... will it ever go away, I cannot meet Marada... unless I can powers and I don't, not that I know of

[Zandoval]

Also it would be nice if we can be friends :) I wanted friends I can discuss Naruto with lol so add me if you like lol

[Asker]

I mean unless I had powers...

[Zandoval]

Well it doesn't have to go away lol.

[Asker]

Really? Of course, if you would like we can discuss story ideas, I do request for stories, if you have anything in my I can go over it with you but give me some time to process because I am rather shy and posting this post is out of my comfort zone

[Zandoval]

It's fine :) Take your time.

You need a psychologist. Do you know you can get therapy online now for pretty cheap. Your age range is 25-29 years old. You’re getting too old for this. I used to watch anime all the time too, but I figured I was was trying to escape reality with it. And if you think about it. Madara isn’t a good person at all, he’s a douchebag. There’s guys in real life that lose everything, but they don’t take it out on others. You need to stop doing this. You’re wasting your life. Dating also gets harder when you’re older. And believe it of not, most guys prefer someone younger because they would assume that an older woman is already taken.

[Opinion Owner]

Or* and I wrote was twice lol. I just woke up

[Asker]

I'm deleting my profile now, I don't like cruelty

[Opinion Owner]

I’m not being. I’m just trying to talk some sense to you. I’m sorry

[Asker]

And what does my age have anything to do with anything, leave my age alone already

[Asker]

It's okay but I know I'm old, I feel really stupid I have never posted this

[Opinion Owner]

Because I’m 26, and I couldn’t imagine doing what you do. I’m already wanting to get married, and get a house on my own. I’m a firefighter, and I risk my life all the time, so I learned to live the best that I can. I want the best for you as well.

[Opinion Owner]

You are really stupid. I know what it feels like to want someone love you. So it’s just a matter of searching your own path

[Opinion Owner]

You aren’t* lol, I woke up, my bad. I didn’t mean it

[Stressyalaire]

It wasn't about flings. It's about you being in that reality. I mean, In that world Madara, that character is one of the greats. Unless you are 'a legend' in this world, there is no way you'd be on equal footing or even recognized by Madara if you were the Naruto universe.

And Madara is a man consumed by hatred, He died consumed by it and only started to change when it was too late.

[Asker]

... oh I see well I will be 30 in a few days from now so I guess I'll try to understand where you're coming from, I hope you get whatever it is you're seeking out of life, thanks

[Asker]

@Stressyalaire oh okay I'm sorry but I feel ashamed that I posted this, I have to run some errands anyway but thanks for the advice and sorry for misunderstanding

[Asker]

@Stressyalaire but you are right, Marada is out of my league and to great for me, thanks 🙏

[Opinion Owner]

And if it makes you feel better. I worked on myself for four years. I didn’t date any girls. Not even the ones that liked me because I knew I needed to work on being a better person because I wanted the girl I was with to be happy as well. It takes time, but I think you’ll find someone soon. You sound really nice. Wish you the best

[Stressyalaire]

I was only replying here because my comment was removed why it shouldn't be so. It was not meant to insult or anything. I'm just teaching you something. Wishing the universe was real, be careful what you wish for. And loving a man who has no time for you and you are forced to see him lose himself in hatred until he eventually dies, I don't wish such heartache on anyone.

But in Our world there are definitely people out there who have the same personality as Madara, and less self destructive, at that. If I can find me a Sasori like fellow, you can find yourself a Madara :)

[TheSpaceGnome]

1. Love is not sacrifice, love is the admiration and appreciation of that which brings you joy.

2. Madara is an asshole in that series, seems weird to like him for that reason.

3. Fictional characters often portray personality types found in real life, usually desirable ones so the show has a hero and people to defend, and ones that make us hate the character so the show has villians. So it's not uncommon for people to get crushes on fictional characters, and wish a similar person existed in real life.

[DancingQueen16]

I don't think it's strange because I'm also in love with fictional characters the first one is Luke Patterson from this Netflix show I watch Julie and the Phantoms and the second one is Adrien Agreste from this cartoon I'm obsessed with Miraculous Ladybug

[xoxosilentgirl]

its weird but i got you. Sometimes fiction better than reality. You should get professional help or have someone to talk about everything. I mean someone to depend to. Good luck !!

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I genuinely don't understand the whole anime thing. It's really fucking weird in my opinion, but who am I to judge? Whatever makes you happy

[Pohjolan]

You being in love with a fictional character is less worrying than your choice of all the available possibilities.

I guess you'll be later on one of the women dating a convicted serial killer.

[Heterosketero]

No. I think Rebecca from cyberpunk would be an awesome date.

[Babygirl_S]

I've also been obsessed with fictional characters like Edward Cullen, Christian Grey and Charles Brandon so I feel it's normal 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Anonymous]

I read your first sentence: " Is it weird that I love Marada Uchiha and want to actually be with him? " No, it's not weird - it's fucking mentally ill. It's a cartoon. He doesn't exist. You need help.

[aaron210419]

I don't think it's weird these days, good luck with that by the way

[RoastedToast]

But you're no senju... And you're definitely no hashirama for our guy 😂

[virgincountryboy]

What do you mean and think about what you think and said

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Nope. It's just as sane to be obsessed with a celebrity.

[Zayed_]

Fictional characters got better chances than me☠️

[SunnyRS]

Actually no, I love a fictional character as well her name is Asuna from Sword Art online.

[PepePatriot]

Yes I think its weird. Forget the cartoons and go be with a real person please

[shortster]

Maybe you just need to find someone who has the same personality as Madara?

[Hardworkingguy]

I used to love female anime characters when I was in high school
