You deserve love now. Not once you lose weight. Not once you accomplish that thing. Not once you move. Not once you get on medication. Not once you start therapy. Not once you get that job. Not once you're more like them. Now. You don't have to earn the right to be loved. You deserve it right now, and always have.
Disability will have you thinking shit like “I’m not even that disabled. I can manage as long as I limit myself to very specific careers, never go shopping for more than an hour or two at a time, keep my plans open so I can cancel and stay in if need be, and only go out a few nights per week at the most”
"Self insert characters are cringe"
Bro I'm trying to survive capitalism with maladaptive daydreaming. Leave me alone.
Writing a self insert helped me unpack more trauma than twenty years of therapy. Do it.
DO EET.
Segnbora is a self-insert. (And so obvious. Is there anyone west of the Prime Meridian who read the book who didn't pick up on it? Surely not.)
(Checklist: dark twisted backstory: check. Magical powers (seriously broken): check. "Pet falcon or something"? Well, is "gigantic alien silicon-based dragonlike fuckbuddy-cum-spouse" okay? Check.)
My most interesting moment after finishing the book that helped me for the first time deal anything like successfully with my own sexual assault (in my own house, in my own bedroom, while grieving my mother's death, by a "friend" of the family) at the age of 16:
Being accused by a critic of "sexually fridging" my working-it-through character "for cheap drama." (We'd say "clickbait" now.)
And you know what?
The issue was still dealt with. After the fact, the reviewer was still nothing but a poorly-clued-in person. (Projection of putative motivation can be so revealing.) And I was still free.
So, advice: (Self-)Insert where and when and how you please. Break down your prison walls in whatever way works for you. Get out of jail, (mostly) free. And before, or after, invite the would-be jailers to go fuck themselves... while, in the light, you continue going forward.

So much respect,even the silly crocs match the outfit
yes true: platforms like that reduce your sense of pressure and how quickly you can shift pedals! it’s even better to drive in socks or barefoot (check your local laws, this is illegal some places)

🌻HYMN OF MEMORY is OUT NOW!🌻
Contemporary fantasy about reclaiming your life from divinity threatening to destroy it.
🕯️Soft cinnamon roll MC 📷Protective & supportive LI 🌆Fleeting end of summer ☕️Cozy vibes 💀Dead & Memories 🌈Queer cast ✨Escaping your divinity
As Divine, Morgan’s sacred job is to send souls into the afterlife. Except Morgan can’t handle it when memories of the dead replace his own until he fears one day he won’t even remember himself. All he wants is escape and gets his chance when the familiar Fin falls into his life.
Escape turns into an end of summer road trip with Fin to replace his lost memories, and there, Morgan must decide if never returning and living his life as himself—not the Divine—is worth more than the souls he’s leaving behind.
