hamkawa11Idk, but isn't it kinda flowery to like a fictional character?
Characters are a product of people for people, meaning it is art.
What if you fell in love with a painting? Wouldn't that be needlessly pretty?
There's this thing, a word I want to use for the beautiful and unnecessary but I don't know what it is, the only thing closest to it is "purple writing". I'll call this emotional, unexplainable, and almost spiritual appeal "lavender" or "ashy rose", inspired by that phrase and both pretty colors in their own right. Isn't liking a character "rosy"?
liking someone's art is also kind of like connecting with the artist, they put some of their mind, their BEING into that art so looking at such art is like looking into someone's soul. It's the human connection to the third degree (guess that's why ai art is so weird).
And isn't it nice when art exceeds its intended purpose and brings such great joy to others that they become obsessed? I know I am. And I'm glad about it.
To feel the bliss of complex narrative creation. Something I can love and think about. The best thing about it is that these objects of creativity and desire last! If a character is lost to time another can take place similar to it.
In that way They are immortal. angelic almost. Precious as a diamond. although there is a lot of diamond it can be very pretty and useful. plush it lasts a long time. A different kind of grand value than glass and fleeting life (wonderful all the same).
Infinite potential, beauty, and endless love. I believe I have found pure non-enforced ecstasy in this, fully embracing the things I love, engaging in media related to it, or finding things that remind me of it. That's pretty sweet!
