It dawned on me the other day that Olivia Cooke makes me think of Kitty Pryde.  Or maybe I am attracted to her because I am attracted to Kitty Pryde.  I am not saying she should be Kitty Pryde or something but rather there is a similar element there.  I have loved comic books for a very long time and my favorite was always the X-Men.  For whatever reason the X-Men spoke to me.  Kitty Pryde has been referred to as every X-Men fan’s first girlfriend.  This is problematic in some ways but in other ways is understandable.  She was smart, kind, the only mistakes she ever made came from trying to do the right thing, she was younger than everyone else, a little socially awkward, and she was a noble super hero.  Like in teen comedies despite being pretty like every super hero or actress she never could seem to get boys attention, that always went to Illyana or later Rachel and so on.  So of course young nerds who maybe weren’t even ready to admit they liked girls would find themselves going, “I’d talk to you Kitty…"  And thus it goes, we all had a crush on her because she embodied that whole, you know, girl we knew we could get along with but was also approachable.  Anyway, I realized that Olivia Cooke is the person on Bates Motel I most often find myself attracted to and it’s because she fills a similar role for the audience.  She is good.  She is kind.  She is vulnerable, an outsider because of a slight weakness.  She doesn’t really have friends.  Boys certainly don’t give her the time of day.  Yet she is gorgeous and has those big, lovely eyes.  And you go, oh, well, everyone else may not pay attention to her… but I’d make out with her.  I’d throw her that bone.  Which of course is kind of scary and condescending, that so many of us are going, "What I want is a really desperate girl.  Someone without options who will think I am a hero”.  But it is what it is.  Or I could be over thinking it.  I know, that’s rare for me, I would never write 400 words about some girl or something here.  But maybe this time. Just once.  I do find her very attractive though and today I want to fuck Olivia Cooke.
