Yeah, you got a point. Especially with the 100% part. Fiction really does have a way of being real, doesn't it?

Ya. Has it ever occurred to you why the recent media, even with fantastic stories like superhero and supernatural stuff try to make it look realistic as possible. On the surface it would seem like, that it was their way of making it more convincing. Which in turn would make people more invested in the show. However I come to think, that rather than trying to make fiction look real. They Instead try to make fiction real in the best way that they can. It doesn't work all the time because not many people appreciate the work that goes into it, but the fact they try should Inspire others to go the next step.
If we're on the same page, I do remember seeing someone say 'People don't want to come back home from school to see a cartoon about going to school'. I don't remember when or where, but I kept that in mind just in case. Now I'm not saying this applies to everyone, but I get their point.
I think I heard a saying like that before, but I don't know where it came from either. But yeah we're on the same page.

To be honest, I can agree 'ere. Especially since, well, having fictional crushes acts like a 'coping mechanism' for few. And I don't mean the type of 'coping' where it's used as an excuse from those way down at the bottom of the barrel.

In my case it's a lot deeper than simply A coping mechanism. I could never quite explain it properly but the best way to say it, is that I have a strong sense of empathy. Now anyone who's an expert on empathy and tell you there should be no way to be 100% emotionally invested in a fictional character or the World they live in. Much of why some people do get emotionally invested is that they could either relate to or simply like the story that much. In my case whenever I watch a movie or TV show, I could literally feel what the characters are feeling. Even if it's something I don't relate to. However not in the way that the story is that compelling. I feel it as though I'm experiencing something real. As though these characters are real and we're just simply looking into their universe.
