Thinking About Creatures.

hi flipline fandom. i like drawing papa louie characters as silly creatures. my sibling calls them chompy dragons

i made up a bit of lore for these weird monster things. maybe i'll ramble about it later

ok a couple nights ago I had a dream where a Radlynn Tumblr rp blog existed where OP really shipped Radlynn x Tohru

...I don't really ship unless self-shipping counts so no idea where that came from

also think there was a part where, like. Scooter was my girlfriend for some reason but she wasn't talking to me and I was like :(( yo is something up?? but I couldn't find her in the giant ass house we were staying in

has ANYONE ever had a papa louie dream?

I would love to hear

No, your oc isn't too cringe or a Mary sue. Yes, it's completely fine that it looks similar to your other ocs. Yes it's completely fine that it looks similar to a Canon character design. No it's not uncreative. No the design isn't shitty. No the backstory doesn't have to make perfect sense or be all figured out. Yes it can be self indulgent or unrealistic or overly sappy. No you don't draw your favorite character too much. Yes you can flip flop between developing whatever characters you want. No you don't have to keep the parts of your character that you don't like or that make you uncomfortable just for the sake of consistency, realism or whatever else

hey yeah sorry for screaming in your notes again your art is yummy and has the same effect on me as cocaine

Things that should be normalized:

Taking meds in public

Going out to eat by yourself

Not having your drivers license

Asking about allergies when eating out

Things that should NOT be normalized:

Watching loud videos in public without earbuds istg stop it its so annoying I don't want to hear some Minecraft dude screaming while I'm trying to eat my pancakes in peace

hey roykissers

to celebrate the release of pizzeria deluxe i did what any normal fan does and wrote x reader fanfiction

have fun xoxo

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

acceptance of self

happy (late) cat day
