First of all, I LOVE Benji and I’ll hold up the world for him when it crumbles.
I’ve always been curious about people who’s crazy about animation characters. To me, even though I do have several favorite animations, those characters always seem so far away from me. So when I see them buying merchandises of their favorite characters I’m always puzzled. I can’t feel the same way for those people as they do. So I start thinking, DO I have someone that I love so much, trust so much, that I utterly believe he exists on earth and have him as my emotional support when I feel low, that I can’t resist the love roaring in my chest every time I think of him.
Then I come up with the name: Benji. Benji and his integrity and morality. And his care for everyone he loves. I couldn’t help falling in love for him first time he’s described as “a boy with the saddest eyes and wildest heart”. And afterwards all I do is fall for him deeper and deeper. When he crushed the whole bathroom because Maya smashed the mirror. When he hid in a distance when Kevin was released from the police station. When he pressed all his weight on his broken foot while Kevin pleaded him to stay with him. When he told Vidar that he was fine and made him go after Ana. When he sat with Maya and told her “I know what it feels like to lose a best friend”. When he treated Alicia as his own little girl. And everything about fingertips touching, kissing, teaching a bass player who didn’t like hockey to skate. About him not being like anyone, not like anyone in the town. If you want to resist falling in love for him, good luck trying that. Every time I see his name my heart pound faster. This is the first and probably only time I fall for someone fictional.
Naturally, I don’t admit that he’s fictional. I believe that he existed somewhere called Beartown. All I think about when I hear his name, is a boy standing in the forest with sad eyes and a wild heart.
I know there’s millions of you that feel the same way for Benji as I do. Please leave comments below and tell me the moment when you truly fell for him.❤️
