Actually making your selfinsert overpowered and friends with all your faves and a hybrid of the coolest species and in a relationship with your crush and the long lost sibling of the villain is called having fun and its cool as fuck

for REAL i had this old old gravity falls oc when i was like. maybe 10 or 11 and you can imagine who i made her related to and it Definitely Wasn't Bill Cipher(/s) and though I probably shouldnt have been on a platform like g+ at 10/11 it was right before that wave of people suddenly being mean about vibrant colors and overpowered characters and i had so much fun doing rps w/her. and despite my character being wack like that other ppl also have fun w/ it and (1/2)

@technonomz (2/2) -i just kinda learned after that, its VERY fun to just adapt to everyone's characters in front of u when in public rp places i.e. AJ or doing gay little rp games on roblox, feral heart, etc. like.. u have the most fun if u just let everyone into the rumble ring and see what happens. conclusion? ppl who yell negatively about "mary sues" *sprays u with a water bottle*

HELL YES THANK YOU

I’ve never had one original thought

Avatar

no because it's so much fun making scenarios with really overpowered characters

Avatar

my self-insert character as a kid was an inter-dimensional traveler. every time I finished a piece of media I would immediately imagine her fixing the story and making friends with my favorite characters.

Avatar

I had one like that too, in fact I still have him. Planning to immortalize him in an actual book someday.

Same and now she's an npc in my dnd campaign!

Avatar

Made mine in order to daydream, then I actually gave her lore and shit got lowkey interesting at some point. Like I do associate her with some bad memories now, but I'm considering re-exploring her because she holds a special place in my heart. She was the definition of an OP (technically self-insert?) OC who was extremely self-indulgent and shipped with all my favs, and I love her so much.

FR scrolling through the self insert oc tag on ao3 is so much fun bc you find the coolest takes and some pretty awesome meta gaming

B-but, ppl are gonna think I'm cringe... [sniffles in childhood issues]

“it’s bad storytelling” idgaf i’m doing this for nobody but me

Avatar

not to mention even things considered "bad storytelling" can be made good if made a certain way people are too rigid to consider something new and interesting

I try not to make my character too overpowered but…. I have those god mode moments

Avatar

But like also to warrior cat fans; I make my oc save Snowkit and kill the hawk (with help)

Avatar

listen i know it's cringe but it helps me ok??? pls it's the only thing keeping me sane😭

Avatar

It's mostly only cringe bc of the patriarchy dw about it

Avatar

Buckaroo Banzai is a mary sue and look at what a great movie that is

Avatar

Right?? Like people used to get so pissy when someone made an alicorn ponysona. Most of these people were kids! That's ridiculous

Avatar

well thanks i am slowly trying OC x cannon charaters but not in romantic fashion or sexual just like familiar platonic and like just generally there and the stories that I write

Avatar

As long as they don't tag fics as x reader when it's an oc

Avatar

All I want is to be loved by someone I love and I love a fictional character let me sit and fester with my issues and love them and fantasize in peace

Avatar

thank you i am always having a good time😌👆

FINALLY

Avatar

Srsly tho whenever I read or play something, I always imagine what I would do if I were in the story. Then I found out about self insert oc’s and created my own.

Avatar

This just made my day even better because I ship one of my Wild Kratts villain ocs with Rex(cannon character)
