Famous: Falco.

IRL: His name was Andrew and he played trumpet in the band in my senior year.

Had a classmate in elementary school who had a crush on me that I tried to reciprocate. She was Hindu, and she was extremely kind and honestly just a blast being around.

I hung out with her at her place after she invited me over since we lived in the same apartment complex, we spent some time with her family, and we started sharing lunch together.

We stopped since she transferred schools, and she eventually moved after the fact.

IRL, her name was Jamie, she had glasses and was super smart and pretty. I even wrote a letter and everything that I absolutely did not deliver, hah.

Famous, earliest I can remember is Kate Winslet in that emerald green dress at the Oscars in 1998.

Kimberly, the pink Power Ranger, was my first "do I want her or want to be her?" conundrum.

It was both.

Sailor Mercury. My 7-year-old self knew what's up.

I think a classmate that I had at primary school, though I didn't realise I had a crush on him until after the fact

Steve Irwin R.I.P

Her name was Amy and she lived up the street from me. I thought she was so cool and always felt really lucky that she called me her friend. I didn’t realize I crushed on her until much later in life tbh haha

David Dixon's Ford Prefect (bbc HHGTTG). Around the same time i also saw the filmclip to Kate Bush's Babooshka and before i even had the vocabulary or understanding of it, i realised i was bisexual

I had a really good friend in middle school who told me they had a crush on someone else, and I realized I had feelings when I felt sad about that. We were both music nerds and pretty inseparable at school. During summer vacation, we'd have these slumber parties where we played Pokemon and Maplestory together. We both realized we were bi around the same time, so it was nice to have another person to confide in about that, but we were only ever friends, and that was okay as I got over my crush pretty quick after realizing it wasn't reciprocated.

We eventually fell out of touch after high school and I found out a decade later she transitioned too, which wasn't at all surprising. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually bi, because the only "boy" who isn't a fictional character I ever had romantic feelings for was a girl the entire time lol. But I still remember those days and hope life's treating her okay.

I saw Diane Lane in "A Little Romance" way back when and fell in love. Nothing has changed. She is still lovely.

David Bowie in Labyrinth

Mia Sara

Ferris Bueller's Day Off & Legend

It's a toss up between Snow White and Darkwing Duck.
