Fictional Guys Have Ruined My Life
The title says it all. Fictional guys have pretty much
ruined my life and expectations for anything (and everything).
As someone who has read about 200+ books in last 5-7 years I
can proudly say that I have fallen in love with several people. All being fictional.
(*cue in music*)
I cannot remember who my first love was, but I can name my
current ones (your read correctly, there is an “S” there).
The thing about fictional guys is that they are flawed and
perfect.
He can be the crowned prince of a country, but underneath
the beautiful blonde hair and brown eyes is a caring sarcastic puppy that needs
to be held. He can be half-human with sea-green eyes and face that turns from
killer to sweetheart in a matter of seconds. He can be a geek that is into
tweed jackets and journalism as he discovers that he can see into the future.
Or maybe he can a scary thief that will rip out the eyes of any person who
hurts the one he likes. ( don’t forget cute princes that betray and hurt you!)
There are a lot of them…
The thing is, when you step into the shoes of the
protagonist of the story…their life becomes yours. You are part of their
thoughts and actions, and when they start falling in love with another
person…well so do you.
While you are off saving the world, finding yourself or
having an adventure…you are also falling in love with the guy next you.
(Leading guy or not).
I, personally, strongly dislike most romance novels, because
the main character has this instant falling in love thing that is SOOOO
unrealistic. I hate when romance leads the plot, because it is so predictable.
They meet and have instant falling in love moment, then there is a problem and
their relationship is at risk, finally everything works out THE END.
I know what you are thinking; ALL ROMANCES USUALLY FOLLOW
THAT SCHEME. Yes. You are right, but when there is more than romance in a story
it becomes more fun. Do I make sense? The leading lady has to safe the world
and figure out if the butterflies are her nerves or dokidoki feelings for a guys.
I love Maxon, Throne, Kaz, Percy, David, Kell, Dorian,
Magnus (Falling Kingdoms), and Howl…just to name a few.
It is hard, because you pretty much compare every guys you
meet to all these fictional guys and are like, “Nope, you’re nothing like
x-character. You’re not good enough for meeeeee”
Welcome to my life.
