Oh Wow, This Is Gorgeous!! I'll Be Sure To Check Out The Rest Of The Collab :00

reblogging because this is very sweet + I agree with op, i think this should be less stigmatized

putting personal things under the cut related to self-inserting but mostly selfshipping

I lean more towards selfshipping but I do use that as a sort of coping mechanism paralleling self-inserting. like. if imagining [character] lovingly encouraging me to get out of bed some days helps then I do it. or if they're like telling me to hike my ass off the carpet and go do something productive

I found out about the comfort character and selfship communities 4 years ago and Ive felt a lot better about myself especially since I started selfshipping 7 years ago (wowiee). but really I've self-inserted my whole life without realizing it, with my favorite fictional medias

i still struggle with uh normalizing it for myself in the sense that I still feel like non-existent internalized people are judging me for thinking of something that doesn't exist comforting & loving & interacting with me but. I'm gonna keep doing it regardless of what people think, including myself. and I will support anyone else who does the same (in a healthy manner). thanks for coming to my ted talk might delete this text box later??

This isn't exactly art but, I feel like it's important so I'm posting it here anyway.

Self inserting with my favorite characters has been one of the best coping mechanisms I’ve ever had, and for over a decade I’ve tried to normalize the idea so people don’t feel ashamed to use it for the same purposes. It’s helped me feel better about myself at my darkest points.

I just think the idea of having ppl in your head who love you unconditionally and would never hurt you is a rly good vehicle to help you feel better in lot of situations. These days I mostly just do it for fun, but yesterday was really bad for me, and I made a comic to help cope.

Just something quick in PLP because I was too exhausted to draw it, but it made me feel immensely better. I wasn’t going to post it publicly, but after thinking about it I think I should. It helped me so much, and I want people to not be afraid to do the same thing. I want people to look at me and think “well if Billy’s doing it maybe it’s not so cringe after all, maybe it’s okay if I do it to”

(i don't want to stretch people's dashboards so it'll mostly be under a cut. and also for needed context in regards to the comic: i suffer from schizoaffective disorder and can sometimes experience hallucinations if I forget to take my medications)

(also these were made in parts, so they might feel a little disconnected. That was all part 1, this next is part 2)

and next is a little interlude where Allan does things to help cheer me up

and this is the last part

4th of july❌

boomers birthday✅

I normally rant in the tags but fuck it I want to ramble about boomer I'm literally that one gif of the guy talking to the wall

I love how her flipdeck implies she's eaten enough hospital food to hate it which begs the question of why

I've talked about it before on this blog but methinks boomer has a fear of severe injury. like, to her, dying is whatever, memento mori, we all die, but getting hurt to a degree such that she can't perform? it would ruin her. so she overprepares for stunt shows. uhh this also extends to other people's safety. she's kinda overbearing lowkey

uhh I also love that specific holiday image too?! I want to know more about the powsicle scoopian tbh!!! because of this image I also hc that she's severely attention-motivated because of childhood stuff... girlypop if no one will give you the attention you seek them I Will.

hellooo could I offer Boomer for the ask game? 🦅 🇺🇸🗣️

boomer💥

fave thing about them: GODDDD SHE IS SO GOATED IN PAPA LOUIE 2 I LOVE PLAYING AS HER

also the “daredevil” occupation is really cool and flashy to me but another great thing about boomer is her flipdeck cuz “Hates: Hospital Food” is so funny to me LOL

least fave thing about them: NOTHING!!!!!

brOTP: this is kinda random but ever since i learned that shannon loves powsicles i now hc that she’s boomer’s event photographer now lol. not even for her actual job i just think shannon likes inexplicable things (like what boomer does. how does she survive??!?!?!)

OTP: BOOMER X AKARI‼️‼️‼️ i’ve liked this ship since elementary school lol. i just think they’re so similar (black ponytail, motorcycle, general cool vibes) but they pull it off so differently it’s a funny dynamic/contrast… like boomer is AWESOME cool but akari is nonchalant cool… am i making sense lol?????

nOTP: nothing rlly

random headcanon: everything boomer does should, by logic, kill her, but she is not dead yet. she got that phoenix wright plot armor except she’s not even a main character lol

when she’s not doing stunt stuff she’s kinda lowkey i think she helps at hospitals and stuff i think clair likes her but also thinks she’s kinda reckless lol

unpopular opinion: idk what other ppl think of BOOMER sorryyyyy

fave picture of them: this may be because i love the mallow men and gals but I LOVE THIS HOLIDAY PICTURE it’s so cute… she’s wants to impress the little guys but that rando unnamed scoopian is stealing all the attention lol….

I've been a bit busy with school, but I haven't put this project aside and I hope it won't take me too long for Pizzeria.

happy (late) cat day

my sib is currently replaying luigi's mansion 3 when we got to the part where prof. e gadd mentioned that gooigi is made of goo, i went, "oh man i thought gooigi was made of igi." and we both lost it for some reason

i fully believe now that gooigi is made of igi and you cannot convince me otherwise

also the boo names. they're so stupid but in the silly way.

i cant believe nintendo announced Kirby Has a Midlife Crisis for Nintendo Switch at E2 2022

I need people to understand that sometimes autism is just this
