pls tell us about your childhood crushes i beg..!!
Assuming you mean fictional ones my earliest crush I can ever remember is Zuko. Very normie I know but I loved him so much. Avatar came out right after my 6th birthday, I have very distinct memories of watching it all the time growing up. Other than that, in early childhood I remember liking Beast Boy, Tarzan and Kovu (yes the lion from the second Lion King. Leave me alone let me have this)
In my later childhood/preteen years, I was OBSESSED with the game Tales of Symphonia for several years (even though the game takes like two weeks to complete at a normal pace lol, I don't know why I just formed a really intense hyperfixation on that game specifically), I watched the animation that came out and all the niche official content and so on. But I really had a thing for Yggdrasil and I still do
Within that same age range/years I also got attached to N (Pokemon), Link (Zelda), Komaeda and pretty much the entire male casts of Black Butler/Kuro, Wolf's Rain and Death Note.
Finally it's not "childhood" but in my teen years, I was just entering my senior year of high school when Mystic Messenger came out. I would leave class to use the bathroom to play the chats so I didn't get timed out and miss the chats. I loved pretty much every guy in that one.
(I also have no recollection of it, but according to my mom when I was like 3 I used to say I wanted to marry Thomas the Tank Engine lmao)
