I wouldn’t say “embarrassing” unless you are actually embarrassed by it.
There are certain pieces of media I have connected with that I won’t get into detail about, but I wrote up a whole fanfiction about back in the day. Looking back, I’d say my past self certainly loved one of the characters. I’m not embarrassed by that, but I don’t like… Have it in my dating profile.
It’s certainly unorthodox to say you’re “in love” with a fictional character, but ultimately as long as it isn’t a detriment to your mental well-being or “real life”, then ultimately does it matter if someone might giggle at your expense?
Hmm.
Well then If it’s also not someone from Saint Seiya, based off what you said it is or isn’t, that would be my knowledge of pre-2k anime exhausted.
