Any Molly Ringwald character, but Pretty in Pink was the GOAT role.

Jinx from League of Legends

I got a nice painting of her on my wall.

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

The Hex Girls had an early and very long lasting impact on me. Or maybe Megan Fox in the first Transformers. Either one, those are the earliest crushes I remember haha

When I was very young, Tails gave me verrrry confusing feelings. I just wanted to… hold his hand or something. Then both Robinhood and Maid Marian, very owo.

When I was a teen, Fox and Krystal from Starfox and Renamon. Then Kyubi from Yo-Kai Watch (we’re gonna pretend he doesn’t have a human form and is an adult.)

I’m old now and I stand by all of those choices.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's always interesting to hear what animated character was somebody else's furry awakening. For me it was Krystal also, but every time I meet a furry younger than myself, I can see clear distinction between what age group they belong to and which anthropomorphic character they were sexually attracted to as a kid, lol.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

Hahaha I fully agree! I’m in my 30s and saw Robin Hood when I was very young. I had no idea what “bisexual” meant, I just knew I had some confusing feelings for some talkin’ foxes!

[–] Elaine@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Micky Dolenz from the Monkees.

[–] darkishgrey@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Darkness from Legend was the first crush I can remember having.

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I can't remember any of the recent ones but no one forgets its first one.

Single digit old me watching cartoons in the eighties was in awe with Firestar.

[–] gilgameth@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

Leela from Futurama

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 5 points 14 hours ago

Zuko from Avatar. Just.... jet fuel for teenage me.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 20 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. One of the OG big tiddy goth girlfriends.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I never liked the hair. Apart from that though, yeah.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

I feel like the hair was supposed to be somewhere in the middle of a venn diagram of Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and the Bride of Frankenstein.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

TBH I adore Cassandra Peterson IRL too. She's as witty and sassy as her character, seems to be a genuinely good person, and is still an absolute smokeshow in her 70s. Also she's a ginger IRL, which is almost as hot as goth.

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

seems like you are in danger buddy :p

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)
[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I swear I knew her "IRL" on the early net. if true, she was technically my first crush.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 22 hours ago (2 children)
[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

That movie still gives me the feels. At the end when they’re riding the scooter and make the funny faces at the camera. It’s perfect, and she was amazing in that role.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

The soundtrack is still one of my favorites. I loved early Jean-Pierre Jeunet films like Delicatessen and City of Lost Children, so I was skeptical of the film at first because it seemed so normal in comparison. Turned out to be his best film by far.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 19 hours ago

it's a great movie to indulge in the language. they speak really well and watching it a bunch I can hear the individual words.

She’s not bad. She’s just drawn that way.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

As a kid, Lola Bunny and Gadget from Rescue Rangers.

I don't know if anyone's really done that for me in adulthood

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Gadget, god damn. That's one of the earliest crushes I can remember.

Lola Bunny I can see it too, although I never had a crush on her.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 11 points 22 hours ago

Oof. Gadget. Totally.

Sometimes, some crimes…go slipping through the cracks, but these two, gumshoes….

Raven from OG Teen Titans had curves in all the right places, too.

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 7 points 20 hours ago

Alucard set the bar but Karlach got me thinking :D

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 9 points 21 hours ago

Good lord, where to start.

Tuxedo Kamen was a big one when I was around 13.

Several David Tennant characters, such as of course and predictably the 10th Doctor - this might just be the mandatory DT crush.

The 13th Doctor - an outlier, still on-going.

Vegeta. Which is weird because I usually like my men very tall. The Vegeta/Bulma ship was stronger than the crush.

Sam Winchester (tall). I'm so glad my Supernatural phase has ended, let me tell you.

These days I'm crushing a bit on Johnny Silverhand.

Prince Jasmine instilled a love for strong willed women with dark hair in me as a young lad

The OG caked up MILF.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 19 hours ago

1985 tv version of Ann of Green Gables.... (Megan Follows)

legit would sneak watch so nobody in my family would know.... hehe 15 year old me totally understand her problems.... I thought I was in love with her

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 21 hours ago

At the moment it's Zani

She's tired and overworked, but she cares about doing something and doing it right. Plus she has a super hot "Italian-ish" accent lol

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

I thought Gidget was cute, back when I was like 12..

[–] JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Tribitaka from "Monkey".

And the dude with the super mullet and purple flares from "Battle of the Planets"

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 21 hours ago
