Guest Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 So ever since i was a child when i was sad or scared i’ve always fantasied being comforted by either my favorite characters or my own OC’s. And when i hit puberty i thought it was both weird but also comforting because i thought this would go away when i reached adulthood(and i also thought it was because i was weak), but it didn’t. I’m 23 soon 24 and still when i’m sad, stressed out or in general had a bad day i fantasies about being comforted by my favorite characters or my own OC’s. Is it a sign that i actually need a partner even though i don’t want to be in a relationship? I guess not, but i’m still confused. Do you have any comfort characters?

MaxIsCosmic Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I wouldn't say fantasies but I always wanted to be friends with some of my oc's like in a queerplatonic relationship with them so I kinda relate to what you are saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmbo Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I don't think this has anything to do with romance. We all need people who comfort us and it can be very useful to imagine it. I often imagine being comforted to calm myself, but I don't have a specific person on mind, it's more the sensation of a warm smile and touch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apex Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Comfort characters are definitely a thing, and are pretty common for people to mention in fandom spaces nowadays (that's actually what people call them too). It doesn't mean that you need a partner, like others mentioned comfort characters can be platonic. And even if they aren't, there's a difference between liking a character and wanting a relationship with a real person. I've been daydreaming about my favorite characters since I was a kid, and I just turned 25 so I think you're fine ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImJustChillingHere Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Ash Ketchum from Pokemon was my comfort character when I was smaller, I would make up scenarios in my head of him and me having pokemon battles, going on adventures together, and just having fun in general. This topic really brought back that nostalgia lol, but yea, it's a thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can seem weird, but Hidan and Shikamaru Nara are both my comfort characters. I've returned into my very old special interest just because of Hidan and I started creating cosplay of him. Because I like them, I headcanon both as arospec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
