finding comfort in fictional characters

anyone else has a favorite movie or series character you not only relate to, but feel attached to/find comfort in them in a way that they could cure wounds just by showing up on screen? or like a hug from them could undo nearly all bad days and thoughts you've ever had?

it's not exactly a comfort movie or show, or just a character you feel a bit happier seeing content of, but a character you know that would be the only thing to make you feel at least a tad better just by turning your brain off and letting their appearance on screen or overall mention in that movie/show replace the void

to me, this feels slightly too much info to put out like that on the internet, but i feel like that with Spencer Reid in a way where i'm sure that even in another life, i'll turn on my tv and pick any episodes of 'Criminal Minds' where Spencer shows up and watch it if i'm feeling like rock bottom or absolutely lonely in whatever sense.
that "la la la laaa laa" song from 'Gilmore Girls' (i think it's from 'Gilmore Girls'..) even plays on my head sometimes when i'm in a dark space and Spencer shows on the screen like a spot of sunshine amidst a raging storm

hb you guys? anything similar (or did i just get too clingy to fictional stuff-)??

YES ITS SO HARD ( its basically unknown to the new gens.) i wish knb didn't just end there tbh T-T/w merch still being printed out that would be mega cool

I totally relate. everytime I see Kuroko ( KNB anime ) my whole day lights up. anyone besides him doesn't really give the same effect. He reminds me a lot about myself and I guess its nice to know that someone had to write a script about him that relates to me!! ^_<
There for some reason isnt a reply button for you on my end but JUST KNOW THIS IS ME REPLYING LOL ToT THANKYOU i made it myself!! just a little self portrait! ALSO YES HES EVERYTHING I LOVE HIIIMM
I find Luffy from One Piece really comforting cause of how cheerful he is, I had to start thinking of him once to stop myself from crying in a class 😭
that's lowk so sweet omg 🥹
i hope he continues cheering you up in situations like that, it's the best thing ever to manage to hold yourself thinking abt someone i'm sure would want to see you happy and as cheerful as him!!<3
omg.. i used to feel the exact same way with LITERALLY Spencer Reid...I LOVED criminal minds omg, i mean obviously i still do, holds a special place in my heart for the genre of true crime shows, but ive rewatched the whole series so many times just for him. hes just such a lovable character, and HE DIDNT DESERVE ANY OF THE BAD THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO HIM THEY DID HIM SO WRONG
