i really like a fictional character so much it hurts and i have this friend who i make stories with with that character and she's the only one who likes him as much, probably more than me. i don't want to be that way.

Fictional characters aren't real because they are fictional, but because they don't have any flaws.

If you're into anime I'd recommend watching "The Quintessential Quintuplets" which does a great job at destroying the romanticized version of a character the main character remembers.
