Since there’s a thread about literary crushes, this isn’t much stranger, right?
Non-humans include those formerly human (vampires, werecreatures and I guess zombies) and those that are never were human like aliens, elves, and other magical creatures. Let’s leave out witches and wizards, since they’re basically human, though.
So, if they were real, obviously, which characters would you consider relationship material despite their inhuman status? How come? Nawat (Trickster’s Choice & Trickster’s Queen)
Sure, he’s a crow that was so facinated by humans that he decided to assume human form, but you can’t really hold it against the guy. He’s pretty witty (not a birdbrain, surprisingly), handy, and really really loyal. But on the other hand, he doesn’t let himself be taken for granted by the one he’s devoted to. Perfect.
The Phouka (War For The Oaks)
Unsurprisingly, he’s a phouka aka pooka; a shapeshifting type of fairyfolk. Some times he’s a large dog, at others a handsome black man. Despite a perchance for playing pranks, he’s a good ally, and very smooth. Not to mention that he’s a win at any cost (except maybe your life) kind of guy.
Max Evans (Roswell)
He’s handsome, and…um… well, he can heal you if you ever get shot, so that’s good too. And did I mention that he’s handsome?
I’ve always had a secret crush on Justin, the rat from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (later titled The Secret of NIMH, of course.) The movie didn’t help - he was just so strong and confident and dreamy, and he buckled when he swashed. Or something.
Same as I said in the “literary crushes” thread, Discworld’s Angua. She may look human (most of the time), but she’s not, so she qualifies. She’s cool, tough, beautiful, smart, confident, an initiative-taker sexually and can defeat ten bandits in thirty seconds - what’s not to like?
I’d totally date the Brad Pitt version of Louis Pointe du Lac (not the whiny boring book version). It’s not entirely clear if he retains amorous/sexual inclinations after his transformation, but I’ll take the chance.
There must be some who don’t look human too… well, there are plenty that I wouldn’t mind some intimate knowledge of (cough Thundercats! cough), but as for actual dating relationship stuff… Leela from Futurama, of course. Hey, I’ve got a thing for ass-kicking women, no matter their number of eyes. Unfortunately, I have no clue what she’d see in me.
There are probably a lot I would be willing to ask out on a date. Fictional characters are generally better spoken, more intelligent, and funnier than real people, and with real people the odds that you’re going to be well spoken, intelligent, and funnier makes the odds that you will also be a complete and total babe go down a ways.
Also translated as, “I’m not going to write a list because anything that long would look too geeky.”
I’m having a surprisingly hard time finding a really good, representative picture of the lovely Mamzelle Hepzibah from Pogo online. Even the official Pogopossum site doesn’t have its characters page working, and stills of the animated version don’t cut it.
