Sure, we all know the people inside the Netflix box aren’t real, but it’s only natural to wish at times that they were. Write self-insert fanfic about them. Make little dolls of them out of napkins and hairbrush debris. You know, normal stuff.

Like, you might be a loser in real life, but so would the friends on Friends. They would be your friends! And how fun would it be to work with the staff of The Office (provided they hire an effective HR manager for once)? You definitely have a fictional crush or two you pine for. Don’t lie. We’ll know if you lie.
