My Comfort Characters

 What's a comfort character? A character that makes you feel relaxed or happy. A lot of people use their comfort characters (or “ccs”) as a coping mechanism. They imagine themselves being with the character as friends, romantic partners, or family.

Max Goof and Roxanne: 

the first movie couple that I ever shipped before the slang definition for 'shipping' was even invented.

My Comfort Characters  

Peter Pan: Fun, brave, and mischievous. I want to be his friend and go on grand adventures. I want to be a lost girl despite being 34. I'm in such a good mood when I watch a Peter Pan movie. My worries melt away.

Max Goof: adorable, funny, sweet. I used to watch A Goofy Movie repeatedly. I love Goofy. I'm a Goofy fan but I've always been OBSESSED with Max. At 7 or 8, I said that I wanted to marry Max, lol. What can I say? I was a strange child. 😁 Max still makes me happy. He would be boyfriend material if I was a cartoon or if he was a real human, lol. 😂

  Disney's Robin Hood: heroic, compassionate, kind. This movie is underrated. I love it so much! I wish that Robin was real. He cares about the poor and the way that he looks at Maid Marian makes my heart melt. I love him.

Coraline Jones: intelligent, imaginative, brave, misunderstood. This movie is such creepy-fun (one of my dream environments). I relate to Coraline on so many levels. I sometimes get bored and long for escape. 

Jack Skellington: passionate, curious, fearsome when need be, protective. Halloween Town is my ultimate dream environment and Jack is so cool! I imagine Jack taking me on a tour of Halloween town and being my best friend, protecting me and making me laugh.

Liberty's Kids: Smart, brave, funny. This group might seem random but this 2002 PBS Kids show about the American Revolutionary War just soothes me. The three main characters; Sarah, James, and Henri comfort me. I would definitely hang out with them and go on adventures in colonial times. 

The squad on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Fearless, caring, compassionate, heroic, bad-asses. If these characters were really detectives/cops and lawyers, the world would be a better place. I like to think the squad will break down the door and protect me if I'm scared. 

©Adam, Dream Protector: Brave, mischievous, loving, extremely protective, funny, understanding, accepting, encouraging. He's an original character that I made up. I always see him in my dreams. He's a wizard and a punk rocker. We joke around, flirt, and dance. We love each other. He helps me fight the monsters/villains in my nightmares and wakes me up when the nightmares are too much. In my mind, he also holds me while I watch TV and/or when I'm sad, afraid, sick, or can't sleep. He's one of the main characters in my book that I'm writing.  

Smooches and think Tink!
