Of animated hotness

Me: GOD SIX IS SO HOT

Online bestie: Who?

Me: Agent Six. You know, the one I've been ranting about for months? Don't tell me you forgot again.

Bestie: Yeah, I don't think he's hot.

Me: Well, you know that immense attraction you feel for Nathan Fillion? THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT SIX.

Bestie: But Nathan is real.

Me [not understanding the significance]: So?

Me [thinking]: That's like saying 'how can ants carry 20 times their weight but rootbear floats are still delicious?' Really, are the two even related?

Bestie: He's bone and flesh.

Me: Pish tosh, you wouldn't bat an eyelash if we were talking about Castle, who is no more real than Six is, objectively.

Bestie: RICHARD CASTLE IS REAL. DON'T YOU EVEN DARE SAY OTHERWISE.

Me: Exactly.

Bestie: I just don't get falling in love with an animated character.

Me: To me it doesn't matter whether a character is live-action or animated. The potential for extreme hotness is there.

Bestie: Well, it does to me. Because some of the characteristics animated characters have are impossible for someone to have. They look unreal.

Me: EXACTLY. They have potential for the kind of hotness that no human being, living or dead, can never achieve.

Bestie: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SILLY WOMAN.

Me: Like, eyes. I think they are the best human anatomy has to offer, because it's the only body part I've never seen being ugly on anyone. Everyone's eyes are extremely beautiful. And even so, they don't hold a candle to some of the amazing anime eyes.

Bestie: BUT THEY'RE NOT REAL.

Me: BUT THEY'RE BETTER.

Bestie: ARE NOT.

Me: Why would you want to live in reality when you can live in a superior world?

Bestie: What.

Me: What.

Bestie: Animated people are not beautiful.

Me [lists a bunch of examples]: Can you honestly tell me you don't find these mindblowingly amazing and beautiful? Or that you didn't feel a knot of attraction in your chest when Jane drew Tarzan's eyes on the chalkboard? Or that Kyoya Ootori isn't the most handsome bespectacled man you've ever seen?

Bestie: No, no and no.

Me: I CAN'T EVEN.

Bestie: What?

Me: I don't understand. It is an elemental, basic rule that has always been present in my life THAT ANIMATED CHARACTERS ARE HOT. HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT.

Bestie: But they're not REAL.

Me: But they're BETTER.

Bestie: I can't understand how you can find them hot.

Me: I can't comprehend how you can not. Truce?

Bestie: Fine. Not like we can settle this anyway.

Me: Let's go fangirl over someone we both think is hot.

Bestie: Okay.

Both: OMG AUGGIE ANDERSON!!!!!

Me: Wow, that's really the only person we both think is hot, huh?

Bestie: Yeah. Weird. How awesome is Jim Parsons, though?

Me: So awesome. Can't believe you think he's not hot.

Bestie: I can't believe you DON'T THINK NATHAN FILLION IS HOT.

Me: Fine, fine. Touchy subject. Truce.
