Please, let's keep our love for characters in their universe :'')
I've fallen in love with a character from a series and have been reading some fanfics to satisfy my new lil obsession, but then I also see people using the actors that played the characters instead, writing about their irl selves being together and everything???
Like idk it just kinda weirds me out whenever I see it, because people fall in love with a character and push the same expectations to that actor. I genuinely don't mind it if the people stated they're okay with it, but without a clear answer it is still quite strange to read...
Before, I didn't clearly understand this myself, but as I had more expirence with it all the clearer it became.
Keep track of the boundaries that your inspiration establishes.
