"Hear me Out" Cartoon Crushes 2023-11-01 08:33:34


Plenty of us have/have had fictional crushes. I get it. It happens. Some of the most popular probably already popped up in your head now: Gwen from TDI, Shego from Kim Possible, Marshall Lee from Adventure Time, Zuko from ATLA. The Once-ler? Need I say more? As appealing as these characters may be, this thread is about the less conventional crushes that you either have now or have had in the past.


Maybe the character looks kinda goofy/not very conventionally attractive. Maybe they're a literal monster or Eldritch abomination. Maybe they have a personality so annoying/repulsive/irredeemable that most people would be repelled by them. Maybe they were just in the background and never had their chance to be lusted after by the masses. Whatever the reason may be, as long as it's a character in animation that many people wouldn't expect, anything's fair game. It doesn't have to be Western animation, and it doesn't have to be anything super popular.


Here, I'll start:

I don't have a crush on him anymore, but as a young pumpkin, seeing him was the highlight of any episode of Chowder. Thinking back on it, I think I just really liked his voice and felt pity on him whenever he had to clean up somebody's mess or was being mistreated. He just did something for me.


I'd post a female example as well, but I'm wary, since she's from a video game rather than any animation. That, and I can't tell if it was a crush or just fascination. Maybe both


(It was Lady Bow from Paper Mario, btw. She was just so cute to me)

Oh I have waaaaaaaay too many hear me outs, like 90% of them are unconventional or immoral af

But more niche one (I think) would be Cedric from Sofia the First, his character arc and relationship with Sofia really made me love him a bunch

Speaking from when I was a wee boy:

If we’re talkin anime, Sailor Mars.

If we’re talkin cartoons, Marie Kanker.


As an adult kind of moved away from crushes on fictional characters.

Wow, definitely didn't expect that! Looking at him, he kinda looks like he'd have a niche fan club.

Huh! Just did some research. Conniving villain who’s an adorkable nervous wreck at heart. He’s two types of Tumblr sexyman at once!


Someone please help me revive my clubs

Frylock was a pretty dope dude. I remember him being my favorite besides Meatwad. And Discord was fun for me. I liked his relationship with Fluttershy, I thought it was sweet

If I had anything to add here, I’d say I have an affinity for this robotic nerd.

iu_1118535_14713925.jpg

dunno why, but always had a soft spot for Emily.

iu_1118536_14713925.webp

and I like this scoundrel too. Not from an actual show, but his bastardous way of fighting, to me, relates to the creative chaos that goes on in my head every day, and every waking moment.

Went to a Hot Topic today and was reminded of another cartoon crush I had as a child


iu_1124227_14625826.webpiu_1124228_14625826.webp


I thought she was hot, and I wanted to see so much more of her, idk. Her being flirty didn't help. I haven't watched anything related to Lilo and Stictch for a long time, so idk how I'd feel about her now, but back then? Wow 🙌

Starscream, His so sly and mischievous and this particular frame altered something in my brain.iu_1524869_26674037.jpg


Ratchet, specifically in Tranformers Prime because old men and also his design has actual love handles.

I've already gone on and on so about Moura. But there's also Bubbles Vavoom (from Tom and Jerry Kids), who had quite a bit of incredibly in-your-face fanservice in that particular episode:

iu_1524915_3945050.webp

That's one way to keep both the kids and their parents engaged. :D


The "hear me out" part becomes clear when you watch the whole episode (it's called The Maltese Poodle). :v
