So I made the mistake of rewatching Harry Potter, and now I'm right back where I was years ago—completely obsessed with Draco Malfoy. Again. I thought I'd outgrown this phase, but apparently not.
There's something about his character that just gets stuck in my head. Maybe it's the whole conflicted villain thing, the complexity beneath the sneering exterior, or just the tragic elements of someone trapped by family expectations. Whatever it is, my brain has decided this is what we're thinking about now, and I can't seem to shake it.
I've tried everything. Watching other shows. Reading different books. Reminding myself he's fictional (and, you know, kind of terrible for most of the series). Nothing works. My YouTube algorithm is now full of character analyses, my social media feeds are suspiciously Slytherin-heavy, and I may have fallen down a fanfiction rabbit hole that I'm not proud of.
How do people get fictional characters out of their heads? Is there a twelve-step program for this? Do I just need to wait it out until some other character comes along and replaces him? Or should I just embrace the hyper fixation and let it run its course?
Send help T_T

giving in may be an idea worth trying, maybe you'll get sick of him if you go hard first
