For me my first Childhood crush was Gromit from Wallace and Gromit. I don't know why I like him. Maybe because he's was Mute or maybe because he was Anthro Dog or so. I don't know. But he was interesting Childhood Crush...

The Crypt Keeper (I was like two years old at the time, idk, he made me laugh), Geena Davis (ala Barbara Maitland), and Vincent Price. My tastes have not changed much in the last almost-forty years.

Sora from Kingdom Hearts.
I was 8 and playing it with a friend for the first time. Around the time the Destiny Island section ended, I looked at her and said "he's really cute".
It's been over 20 years now and I still think he's cute lol

the Grinch

Luke Skywalker! (Not too surprising as I've been a Star Wars fan since I was nine)

I can't remember exactly, but something you can count on is if it was anyone, it was probably a power ranger, in fact I remember feeling like this sometimes about many of them.

Which meant whenever they had a special episode where all the rangers from past seasons teamed up on a single screen, you could literally say it was raining men.

I think it would be Zuko from Avatar, the last airbender!
Angsty fire boy was just what my kid heart needed lmaooo

Knuckles The Echidna.
Immediately hides behind my pillow fort, bracing for what's to come 😓

I'm not so sure if I ever had a first childhood crush regarding fictional characters. But I definitely did like Zero from the Mega Man X series.

lemongrab from adventure time 😭

The only Lemongrab quote that came to mind when I read your comment was:

"This is UNACCEPTABLEEEEE!"

Aside from that, good for you. c:

I don't blame you, he certainly knows da wae.

Just don't crush on Knuckles' sister.

Feels a bit weird to me anyway, even now. Although I do wonder why everyone started headcanon-ing Tikal as his sister lately.

As far as my memory goes, it was either Link (LoZ), Ratchet (RaC) or Spiderman. I don't know which was first, but I remember all being prevalent at a young age.
Link was the only one that advanced into my early teen years.

It was Clive Handforth from LittleBigPlanet 2. It's so embarrassing looking back on it, but then again I was a really autistic middle schooler, so I suppose it was to be expected.

it was prolly spyro when i was like 5 or smth, i dont think i understood what a crush rlly WAS tho lmao

Snufkin from Moomin and Yamato from Digimon 01. Kinda funny how both are guys who play a harmonica.
