I'm 30 y/o. Like Squirrel Girl, depending on my interests/music tastes at the time I've viewed various musicians & sometimes characters, as partners, loving them so much I ended up almost making them deities, saying their name 3 times to make them come/go, talking differently sometimes, etc. I think creative people do this.
Family/friends know about this & would notice when/if anything went wrong. I know it's silly, but it cheers me up, inspires me, stops me being bored & means I can be happy pottering about [get it?!] w/ or w/o company.
I once made up a song for one of my imaginary partners; I wrote a story about another, changing his name. Said song was supposed to be a joke, but loads of people took it seriously. It's really embarrassing now.
Thoughts of him – the one I wrote the song for – helped me through the worst fortnight of my life; he visited me in a dream, helping me make choices that would affect the rest of my life. Luckily I made the right one, & whenever I doubt this his words run through my mind. I now look back on said dream as his warning. Good job the people who created him – & sadly ended his life as well – made him sensible.
As for Snape being your father figure, people call God their Father; he also visits via dreams; he too can neither be interacted w/ properly or seen; that's fine, but what you believe isn't ?? I don't get it.
Is it normal that I wish Severus Snape was here?
