Day 6: Who was the first hero you wanted to be saved by? And from what would you need rescuing?
Bonus: Who's a hero you could save?
... Super interesting question. I never, even when I was small, imagined myself being saved by a hero. Is that a typical fantasy? I've literally never had it. I definitely made myself the love interest of the hero, but that was never done in a way that would require them to rescue me.
I definitely did rescue my heroes from danger on occasion, though. :D :D :D
My first fandom was Star Wars, I was gonna marry Luke Skywalker. Basically I was just another kid like him that basically went through the same stuff. I was weirded out when I found out Leia was his sister because basically that's what it felt like the way I sort of wrangled the plot around my character.
Next was Lord of the Rings (the books, not the movies) and I was gonna marry Aragorn by being Legolas's little sister elf. When I finally found out about Arwen (in what, the appendices or something? Like she's not even mentioned until the end!), I was super put out.
Nowadays instead of writing myself as a hero or the romantic interest thereof, I tend to write myself as emotional support for the characters I love. I'm the supportive auntie that helps them out, the clever shopkeeper, something like that. Funny how things change. :)

on 6/23/23 06:22 am (UTC)I am guessing this probably is a common fantasy for some folks? It was a real record scratch for me though, as it's never been my thing - and clearly I've found my peeps around here who were in a similar boat to me.
