Thinking about certain fictional characters gets my little asexual heart tripping over itself as often as an over-enthusiastic toddler.

When they're happy, I'm happy. When they're unsure about something or just scared, I just want to reach out, wrap them up in blankets and hand them a cup of hot chocolate. I smile fondly when they smile. I cry my heart out when they're sad..

It doesn't mean I want to be with them, in a romantic way. Or want them to love me too. I just want them to keep smiling, because in this world of lies and fake courtesy, those characters are probably more real than most of human interactions between me and others.

What can I say? Fictional characters are totally badass in their own special way and, in most cases, so damn misunderstood that it hurts like a stubbed toe!

So maybe, I'm in an Open Parasocial relationship with a dozen of them, but my main question is, does that or does that not undermine my romantic orientation of being Lithromantic?
Because I've only ever felt that kind of affection towards fictional characters, not "real people".

I wish I knew the answer, but I'm struggling to understand my own orientation.
