31 Unconventional Crushes People Actually Have: Decide Which Ones Are Truly Valid
“Would you really put this on your cake?” There’s a “hear me out” trend where people share their most questionable or oddly specific crushes. Usually, it’s a character from a movie, show, or cartoon that someone got a little too attached to. To top it off, they print out a photo of the character and stick it into a cake. It’s like a tribute that says, “Yep, this is my pick and I’m owning it.”
In this poll, you’ll be the one doing the judging. We picked 31 characters who’ve all been labeled someone’s “hear me out” crush.
Would you add them to your own cake? Let’s find out! 🍰

Pocahontas
Wrong. She was 17 or 18, when she met Rolfe, and 21 when she died. And I do expect that most people "crushed" on fictional people or celebrities are quite young.

I mean fox robin hood is foxy, it was the way he moved for me when I was a kid
Flynn Rider From "Tangled"
Emily From "Corpse Bride"
Not for me but I can see how she'd give off that "hot but broken" vibe for some guys lol
Wasn't she played by the same woman who played Ally McBeal? (No. Just a joke.)

The thing is, he’s really, really old. I’d lose him too soon.
Velma Dinkley From "Scooby Doo"
Astrid Hofferson From "How To Train Your Dragon"
Off topic, but why is How To Train Your Dragon in theaters like it's a new movie?
It's a "live-action" version of the previous computer-animated version.

Katniss Everdeen From "The Hunger Games"
Again, "well, duh!" - she's hot and a total badas.s, what's not to love?
I don’t think it would work. She’s so serious all the time. I need someone I can laugh and have fun with. (I realize that her life was not conducive to laughter and fun. Frankly, if I lived in her world, I think I would just stay single. I’d be too depressed and stressed out to ever be in the mood, so to speak.)
Bob Ross
So the 24% cake wasted have no idea who he is, right? I'm a bloke and I've never had a crush on him, but if somebody put a picture of him on a cake I would not be offended. He's not a wasted cake, he's a legend.
Scar From "The Lion King"
Merely maligned by the media. Like it's his fault the weather was bad. His inner circle were scavengers; the "good guy" surrounded himself with killers.

Well, you're a bird, of course you'd say "Absolutely"! XD

Lola Bunny From "Space Jam"
Wouldn't look twice at an indigenous woman, but is ready to fu(k a rabbit -- nice. And still racist.
Load More Replies...Gill From "Finding Nemo"
Only because it's Willem Defoe and I unreasonably love that man.
Same! I'd seen him in a few movies from the 80s (Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July) but I first really "noticed" him as an actor in The Boondock Saints. Absolutely fabulous actor.
Load More Replies...Lord Farquaad From "Shrek"
Apparently the creators of Snow White thought he was just lovely!
Load More Replies...Bella Swan From "The Twilight Saga"
Michael Scott From "The Office"
Harley Quinn From "Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)"
I feel like this goes in the "well, duh!" Category. She's a fox. And a bad girl. What's not to love?!
Edward Scissorhands
He's a gem. Pretty sure even my 12 year old and her friends have a crush on him.
I was 8 when this movie came out and I loved the love story XD
Hermione Granger From "Harry Potter" Movies
Did BP have to put a picture of her as a young child? (No matter what, I was always waaaaay too much older than her to have ever crushed on her, but she grew into a lovely, young lady.)
Seriously! They couldn't have chosen a pic from a later movie, where she's an actual adult?? Gross.
Load More Replies...Mr. Clean
When my parents first started our family business (a housecleaning service) in the 90s, I offered to draw our "mascot"/logo, as I'm the only one in the family with artistic leanings. I used Mr. Clean as the model. My parents vetoed the design XD mrmegamaid...bb868b.jpg
Diego From "Ice Age"
Lightning Mcqueen From "Cars"
H*ll yes! I always joke that if it were legal, I would marry him. (Now, it makes sense because I love cars in general and Lightning's personality was apparently partly inspired by an artist I really like.)
Which is funny because I said nope for the same reasons 😂 "but, it's a car!" And "his character is a döuche". Lol
Load More Replies...Pennywise From "It"
Having read the book many times, I know that IT is actually "female" (insofar as it has a clutch of horrible alien-monster eggs that the Losers Club have to destroy) and IT is a monstrous, malevolent, incomprehensibly-evil entity from beyond our space/time that desires nothing except the t0rture and destruction of the human race soo... I can't really separate Bill Skarsgård's attractiveness from the fact that IT is a cosmically evil entity that is basically even more evil than Cthulhu XD
Dr. Phil
I find it ironic that he decided he should counsel people on how to get in shape. Not to body shame or anything but if I want some expert advice of how to get really fit and shredded the Dr. Phil book isn't gonna be the first one I'm reaching for. I don't aspire to look like Dr. Phil.
In no world does crushing on a bloated, narcissistic, unqualified pseudo therapist sound acceptable.
How are Pocahontas, Flynn, Astrid, Chel, Velma, or even Mr. Clean "unconventional"? They may be animated, bit they're still normal humans
Load More Replies...Disturbingly, yes. I met one of them on Twitter years ago. She said it was the actor she has a crush on, but yet she was ogling the character. It was weird.
Load More Replies...Some were kinda dumb, but overall I enjoyed this - fun to read the comments and know I'm not the only weirdo with crushes on cartoons out there.
I think all of these (except Dr Phil - he's an arsehole) are valid. As a pre-teen I had a crush on Mark from Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman).
How about "way after my time or wrong gender, but I could see it"? I'm curious to see the results, but I don't want to down-vote anyone just to see.
I voted the same on the wrong gender, not bc I personally had a crush but bc they were completely valid.
Load More Replies...My first crush when I was about 7 was Speed Racer. I remember having dreams about him!
