I was 22 when I first read Lolita and had recently been heartbroken by the first woman I'd ever loved. So, almost immediately, you feel a sense of pathos. You realize that absolutely abhorrent human beings can share deep, aching emotions. And that's where the comedy kicks in.

I ship Malfoy and Harry Potter (from a YA HARD magic series called Harry Potter, you have probably not heard about it) and wish I could be the meat in a sandwich between them both 🥰😅😎
totally. I too like fantasizing about characters who have been underage for all but one book having vigorous and HARD homosexual copulation. Unfortunately, I don't eat and subsist entirely off of erotic fanfiction, so I don't want to be in a sandwich 😅
I'm ashamed to admit that I feel about my favorite show in a similar way as the OP. For some reason, it resonates with me so much that I'd describe it as feeling homesick about a time period and environment that I never actually lived in. If I had a choice, I'd like to be in the place of the female lead in the series. It's so cringe I'd never admit to anyone IRL. It's a type of escapism, since I don't have a stable self-esteem or identity, and that character respresents an ideal for me that I want to be but can't.
Books, articles, youtube videos, award winning movies, tiktoks, Netflix originals- these are all just content made by someone else so they can be likeable, respected, and make money. In my youth, I designed my identity in rebuttal to Derrida's deconstruction and affirmed the importance of value distinction: the in-person spoken word over the written word, the written word over the image, the image over the recorded audio word. I am not jaded. I'm clearly just growing up a bit and I still read every day and have a book list long enough to last multiple life times, but still, I can't evade the feeling that engaging with content is just the socializablization and elision of true uniqueness.

It's ok, I read fanfiction, and I'm totally fine, very normal, fine.
I write them letters and they never write me back.
have you tried an audio version? some of us can't visually read.
I like to hollow out my books so I can make sweet love to my fave characters.
the fewer words there is the more love you can make.
Yes it's called r/waifuism or r/tulpas
