Welcome, travelers~!
I post art, and sometimes ramble.
having adhd and being a creator is like being on a timer. oh sorry you have this art idea? well you have approximately 12 hours to start it and 6 hours to finish the task or else you will lose interest and inevitably move on. oh you have an idea for a one-shot? well you’d better finish it in a day unless you want to banish it to your wips forever. ding dong bitch
x readers saved me from the loneliness of my childhood years, whenever I was in class and we had nothing to do, I'd sit in my own little corner and read them.
Heck, I'd even read x readers of characters I didn't even "like like", I just wanted to be apart of the universe that they were in, the universe little me fell in love with.
Reading them felt like big hug and a pat on the head from family, during the times when I didn't have anyone.
The foundation of my confidence was built upon stories of me going on imaginary adventures with the characters I love. I started to love myself bit by bit because of them.
I'm well aware that x readers tend to have a really bad rep, or are deemed to be the "guilty pleasure" of the fanfiction community.
And a lot of people hate them or dislike them.
But when you think about it... These are no different from your favorite authors self-inserting themselves into even their own stories.
They do it all the time, because why do we write anyway?
We READ to escape, we WRITE to escape.
Much love to the x reader community, especially to our fellow authors/ writers who do write them (I could never LMAO, I'm still too self-conscious, who knows? maybe one day?) thank you so much for indulging me with tales of adventures that I've always wanted to go as a child.
xreader fic is so inherently healing like
do you love yourself? no? that's okay this character you love loves you back. are you kind? that is why they love you. are you patient? that is why they love you. are you a coward are you shy are you brave are you bold are you bratty? that is why they love you. you are loved and you will not be punished for seeking love. you are loved and you will find it here in these words.
do you love yourself yet? no? that's okay this character can love you until you do. this character will point out the few traits you can relate with yourself (your smile, your laugh, you brattiness, your whimsy, your strength, your sorrow) and tell you that they love that about you until one day you can love it, if not yourself, too.
do you love yourself yet? no? but you're starting to accept that you can be loved? that there is something in you- your awkwardness, your bashfulness, your straightforward mind, you ability to heal, your ability to fight- that someone could look at and learn to adore? well done. you're right, this character does see that and adore it. you may not love yourself just now, just yet, but now you see right? That there is something to love in you?
