It’s such a weird feeling to have had a crush on a teenage character when I was a teenager, because now I’m an adult and that’s NOT OKAY. Every time I watch Teen Titans and Raven comes on the screen I get very complicated emotions It’s like seeing a picture of your partner when they were a mid-teen. Your brain doesn’t know how to reconcile it

[@artlly_]

[@missycruelwolfart4615]

broo i got this feeling when i rewatched Attack on Titan. last time i had watched it was when i was about 16 and i had a huge crush on Armin. Now im 21.... it was super weird, your example is spot on

[@dataq1745]

TRUE I think how it usually goes for me though is they slide firmly into son/daughter territory for me. For example: Danny Phantom When I was a kid I was like “man, he can take a hit and dish em out, cool-ass hair cut, sharp and angular, cool deep voice” but when I rewatched it I was like “oh honey, oh baby boy, you’re only fourteen oh god. I need to adopt you right now and play video games with you and make sure you eat and sleep and take care of yourself and accept you and protect you and-“ So yeah lol, that’s mainly how I look back in my cartoon crushes I’ve aged past, with the fondness of a mother.

I first watched Avatar TLA when I was 13 and my first crush was Azula. I mean, being able to outsmart an adult leader of a secret service and overthrow a kingdom for her father at only fourteen? Slay, girl! Not to mention she nearly ended the cycle. Also the line “Don’t flatter yourself, you were never even a player” won me over. I also liked Esmeralda from Hunchback when I was in high school.

He was the first animated character I ever hated. He and Sally do have a good and functional relationship that fanfics seem to create unnecessary toxicity. McQueen got jealous when Sally thought Francesco was hot in Cars 2, but he got over that once he realized people were in danger and that his BEST FRIEND never made it back home from Japan. McQueen also introduces Francesco to Sally making her happy and being secure in their relationship. Cars 3, Sally is flipping wonderful with going to McQueen’s races more often, her showing fear and concern when he crashed, and giving him a sort of teasing, tough love pep talk. Sally: Don’t fear failure. Be afraid of not having the chance. You have the chance. Doc didn’t. And you can either take it or you can do what you been doing. Sitting. In here. For months. And by the way I love what you've done with the place I mean the monster movie lighting and the musky air freshener and don't let anyone tell you you're not working that primer because wow, I have never found you more attractive and now that i've been in here for a couple of minutes the stench i'm getting kind of used to it.

A note on Thomas the Tank Engine (and adjacent) shows having non-moving faces with voice over: They were developed with simple, unmoving, clear expressions to teach children how to read people's emotions through their facial expressions, thus why lots of the dialogue is characters stating their emotional state as unambiguously as possible, awkward and stiff though it may sound. But why trains you may ask? Because train fanatics are disproportionately represented by people on the spectrum so they created these anthropomorphized trains in an (debatably successful??) attempt to SPECIFICALLY target children with asperger's syndrome to pay attention someone's expression to figure out what someone is feeling.

Her name was Missy, I think. And her 2nd and last appearance was on the episode, "Love Your Neighbor". But through all of the writers at Big Idea, showcasing them as a couple, when they re-tell the Bible Stories. There is no strong indication that Archibald made his "move". In the 2000's-Now era of VeggieTales, she was Thanos snapped out of existence, and Archibald NEVER made any references or mentions of her. Perhaps she wasn't a Christian at heart.

I have weird taste in fictional men so don't even try and tell me what I already know, I'll list 3 but I could 100% think of more: Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender, probably the most understandable of the 3 I'm gonna list, he's kind, he's charming and he's reasonably handsome, the only thing most people would have issue with is his age (but not me) Grime from Amphibia, a fair bit harder to justify but while Grime starts off as a antagonist he ends up developing and becoming much more endearing and likeable soo yeah Glenn Dolphman from Inside Job, hoo boy here's the big one, is he ugly? Yes. Does he have a "coarse" personality? Yes. But you know what? I'm very much in the "I can change him" mindset and I refuse to let go

Ace from the Gangreen Gang (Powerpuff Girls) was in Gorillaz for a little while. He was my Powerpuff Girl crush as a child. Fred from Scooby Doo was my childhood crush too. But now, as an adult, I prefer Shaggy. But that is 100% the stoner in me lol 😆

[@ravenscarlettanis13]

I loved Ben Ravencroft from Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost

[@RazorRevenge]

@@ravenscarlettanis13 yes! Nothing beats Tim Curry’s sexy voice. Your PFP also made me remember loving Scarecrow from Batman 🖤

[@ravenscarlettanis13]

@@RazorRevenge I liked Kirk Langstrom. Well, before he became Man-Bat.

I think Cala Maria was first and foremost meant to sound like "calamari", but it _also_ happens to sound like _Maria Callas,_ famous Greek-American opera singer. That second one may or may not be pure coincidence, I'm not sure, but I'm told she (Cala) has a Greek accent and a vaguely Carmen-esque operatic number in _The Cuphead Show,_ so either way I suppose I'm not the only one who noticed.

[@anonymousbanonymousng8556]

Hear me out... Beast Wars Megatron. His confidence. The sultry tones of David Kaye's voice...

[@MossyToomes]

No need to hear you out. You're objectively right here.

[@smashley4661]

I had a crush on TFA Optimus (same VA by the way)

[@oswaldfriedman7116]

I didn’t have romantic crushes on cartoon characters I had like,friendship crushes. Like, “I want to be friends with that one” deal. I think my first of those was Invader Zim, because my undiagnosed autistic anxious elementary school brain saw the 200 year old alien who screamed too much, everyone hated and tried to get rid of, wanted to destroy everyone in his class, and I said “we’d get along so well.” Now I am a mentally stable adult who just wants to adopt this pathetic gremlin boyo.

[@ghost-husband]

as someone who watched cars over and over again as a kid, I'm pretty sure Sally was my first crush lmao

[@DragonQueen-ox8dk]

Man, the biggest cartoon(although technically video game) crush I've ever had has to be piers from Pokemon I immediately fell in love with him when I got to spikemuth in swsh, and I wish the anime had him in more than one episode. I'm not as obsessed with him anymore but he's still one of my favorite characters in media as of right now

[@olympiadeverre]

If you ever expand it to general kid’s show crushes: my very first fictional crush was Rich from the Imagination Movers...partially because my friend had a crush on Joe Jonas and I wanted to fit in

[@olympiadeverre]

@@sublimescorpio230 I still remember parts of “What’s in Your Fridge?” 😂 “What’s in your fridge (what’s in your fridge)? What’s in your fridge (what’s in your fridge)? What’s in your fridge na-na-na, I wanna know!” “CHICKEN AND RICE IT TASTES SO NICE”

[@caracaracat2958]

I saw Tim and Moby mentioned and I screamed. I love them (platonically) and I think it’s both adorable and hilarious they were mentioned.

[@rabio02]

Mlp characters need to be in this list the next time u do this video. On that note, I had the fattest crush on Applejack for years as a kid

[@memethyst]

mine was adagio dazzle 😭

[@gloomiiii]

@@memethyst the dazzlings in general were my bi awakening

[@icelingbolt]

Have you thought of doing another hobby video? I remember it was really fun to watch you try out all those different things, getting a beginner perspective into communities that are often focused around those who dedicate their lives to it makes them a bit more approachable If you do another video on that ever, I recommend "upcycling" (using things you'd throw away otherwise to make art or furniture). It just seems fun and probably cheaper than most other hobbies like that Another interesting one I can think of is collages, Itd be fun to see what you can make from ripping up weird dollar store magazines

[@shadows-sweet-embrace]

There are conflicting reports of Meg's age, but it's been said multiple times she's around the same age as Herc. 18 at the most.

[@jommisalami]

My first cartoon crush was Bessie from The Mighty B and I'll never forgive myself for that

[@SpriteTheWolf]

Thanks for putting Double Trouble in S Tier where they belong

[@dianneg682]

7:02 He’s also got that low-key cute accent yall-😳👉👈😖

[@Rushinator99]

I’m watching this the day after the Silent Running music video came out, and I love hearing you say that you know Murdoc would smell bad after seeing him literally destroy the forever cult with his “essence.”

[@kaydenstuff]

My cartoon crushes in middle school were like Sonic the Hedgehog and Donatello from 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles djgjdkd

[@Zealot_of_Malice]

Please do a part 2 this is fun to watch and honestly the commentary you have been giving about the crushes are tickling me pink for some reason.

[@thebliboshow4279]

My first cartoon crush was Isabella but then I had a dream that I was in phineas’s body and she didn’t love me because I didn’t act like phineas so yeah I got rejected by a cartoon in a dream yeah to clarify I was 10

[@marissaaaa]

Not gonna lie, Special Agent Oso had me feeling oh-so different 🥵

[@ambarcastaneda4763]

LMAO 😭

[@ps1hagridoufofcharacter]

one of my first crushes were all three main characters of road to el dorado. the girl especially but goddamn if i didn't steal looks at both of the guys too

[@kylee6802]

I had a crush on Meg from Hercules, Archibald Asparagus, and the man in the yellow hat💀

[@lordoffrogsinbogs]

My first cartoon crush when I was a kid was Wilt from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends 😭

[@LeslieLoera3577]

Me too, but when I was little, I didn't watch it, but a few episode

[@hihi-kv8kv]

6:56, why...why is he kinda cute. 😭 Literally the only person so far into the video (meg might have been an exception) that i think was attractive and it's the vegetable💀

[@FurretWok]

That thing with Fuzzy Lumpkins and the bag of dirt low-key did things to me as a kid 😳

[@fionastirling986]

I don't tend to get crushes on cartoon characters (or characters in general from any media) but what really attracts me to a character is if I relate to them in some way or I want to steal their style? The first cartoon character I was really attracted to as a kid was Phineas from Phineas and Ferb, which I mistook for a crush for a while, but then realized I related to him (as a child of divorced parents) more than I was crushing on him.

[@maynot]

"Steal their style" is so true. I just want to be them and take their whole identity, yet my brain's going "what's under the clothes tho?"

[@20000dino]

My biggest crush was Bowser from Super Mario. Still is, to be fair.

[@negligible_reality]

i mean Bowser is an icon, and a surprisingly good father. i don't blame you for having a crush on him, and honestly i'm right there with you lol.

[@negligible_reality]

ohhh especially in Paper Mario, i really love his personality and humor in those games!

[@ravenscarlettanis13]

Yeah, he’s built like a brick s**thouse! Perfect!

[@sillygoose2205]

i need someone to validate me for liking Wilt from fosters home for imaginary friends

[@KathySage234]

There was a time where did that too.

[@ambarcastaneda4763]

I am here to validate you. I didn't have a crush on him but always felt attached to him as a kid. I think he's very cute, I always wanted him to be my friend :'3

[@nookiepookiedookieWHAT]

I’ll validate you. He’s so bbg

[@UltimateisUltimate]

My first two cartoon crushes were katara and gwen tennyson. Now I'm obsessed with their adult designs 😞

[@Rae0814]

I think people crushed on Arichibald from Veggietales cause he’s intelligent, a bit forceful in his opinions, and has a nice voice. Also, I remember that some people thought that Sombra from MLP FiM and Roughraff from Yokai Watch was hot.

[@trash_man_rizuberry]

Ughhh so my sisters owned some Shopkins cartoon movies and I watched it, hesitantly, and there was this villain character who was low-key so pretty. Her name is Scarletta Gateau if you wanna look her up to see what she looks like

[@dumbnoodleman]

ngl i see it

[@BlueJaguarRanger]

As someone who had an entire shelf of VeggieTales VHS’s, I DIED at the Archibald segment

[@MettaFTW]

my first cartoon crush was James from Team Rocket 🤣 looking back it.... really explains a lot...😐 -thousand yard stare as images of Mettaton EX, Rouxls Kaard, GACKT, and Lio Fotia circle me like vultures-

[@glucoseguardian9999]

One thing that I will say about the Cars movie is that at it's core, it is a pretty basic but still cute story about being a young adult and figuring life out, learning to respect both your blossoming career for all that it entails as well as recognize the colleagues that you meet within that career for their own many talents, and finding the right place in the world for yourself with the right people in it to bring all of your best qualities to the forefront and make you the best version of yourself. Some of the writers in the Cars fandom are VERY talented and do great job with expanding on all of those themes, as well as expanding on the characters, their relationships with each other, and the natural progression of those relationships. They even humanize it to make it less weird. (Look guys, I too am just a young adult trying to figure life out and the underlying story that gives Cars it's merit is super emotionally relatable for me right now.....)

[@leventemucsi9547]

My biggest childhood crush was the Viking Chief's daughter from one of the Asterix movies. I'm probably alone with this one

[@anitachamberlain3391]

No, no. You're onto something 🤔
