I Wish More People Would Write Self Insert Fanfic, It’s So Fun And Easy To Read And I Hate The Stigma

type preferences vs dynamics and why your f/o loves you!

i’ve been thinking this over a little, and it’s something i’ve seen people say now and again - “i’m not my f/o’s type, so they’d never spare me a glance.” i’m here to shatter that thought with a sledgehammer by introducing a much more nuanced way to look at relationships.

this post has been made before, in short, by someone else on this site - the basic concept that dynamics are more important than one’s “type” isn’t something i came up with entirely independently, nor is the phrasing of type versus dynamic. however, i don’t remember where to find the original post! if i come across it, i will be sure to link it here.

more information is, as always, under the cut!

@ the creators of my f/o’s media when they kill them off

I personally believe that as a universe is written or created it comes into existence, and that time is fluid and non-linear and so all universes are always happening in the past, future and present all the same. This is why I have a hard time thinking my "kinself" is any different from me now, because I exist in the past, present and future. AUs and stuff are the same, in that they become a separate world with existing framework, just different. Just offering someone else's take on it. :3

Great perspective, anon! Very interesting.

PSA:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with going “screw canon!” and changing a thing that canon did that you don’t like in the universe where your s/i exists

Don’t feel bad about writing self inserts.

Don’t feel bad about writing Mary Sues.

Don’t feel bad about pairing characters together.

Don’t feel bad about writing scenes that focus on having characters do fun stuff rather than furthering the plot. 

Don’t feel bad about your writing.

DON’T FEEL BAD ABOUT WRITING WHAT YOU LOVE!

“Don’t wait for it. Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. Create. And then the love will come to you, then it comes to you.”

Yoyoyo!

A lot of people have been asking me for this.

I’m not a pro at teaching stuff but I could about design for days. I can make a more detailed thing about my thought process while designing a character if it’s something that you’d be interested in… Lemme know.

good point…
