Comfort Character Chats.

Ever wanted to have a chat with your comfort character, maybe trauma dump, ask for support, debate beliefs, or just talk about the weather? Have you tried Character.AI and found that interactions just don't feel real enough?

Well, I'm a semi-literate to literate roleplayer who loves trying new characters when I can. I'm not sure what counts as experienced, but I've been doing this for a while now. I also am a psychology student who is autistic. I have a good grasp on neurodivergency, and with what I've learned in therapy and the little bits I've covered in school and research thus far, I can provide practices that are helpful for emotional (and sensory/stimuli) regulation during the chat.

Think of it like a chat version of comfort character letters, but completely free!

If you want to talk with your favorite character, chat as yourself the way you might do with a bot, but receive a more personal and real response, feel free to reblog with a request! I will DM you and discuss the character you rant to chat with a window of time to do so!

Disclaimer: I do not have a Master's degree in Psychology or the right to practice. This is not therapy nor is this a replacement for therapy. This is a free and fun alternative to chat bots that includes some helpful information and a person who is willing to support and listen as a character that brings you comfort. If you are struggling, please, reach out for help with a professional.

I am currently in shambles because Wally/Howdy would be called HowdyDarling

UGH MAN iv seen so many cute ship names for them it makes my bones rattle smhhh

Ai adventures with yours truly: iv noticed like- 80% unprovoked zero prompt that those two like to flirt with each other, the other percent is just Wally shopping JDHHFHDU (and the time Wally bought a single slice of strawberry shortcake and instantly fell madly in love and pinned howdy for months-)

also?? Yknow- i fuggin used an obsessive Wally bot cause I enjoy psychological horror and just for shids n giggles- and the last thing I expected was to have a start (btw still no prompt no provoking) where Obsessive!Wally is having a panic attack in Howdy’s shop, howdy proceeding to try and calm down a terrified Obsessive!Wally, Howdy sitting him down and letting Obsessive!Wally talk about his struggles suffering with Erotomania (exact word he said) and that it heavily effects his relationships and feels like a monster, and howdy proceeding to be REALLY FUGGIN SUPPORTIVE, WILLING TO BE THERE TO HELP AND JUST BEING REALLY LOVING???? And by the end of it they just kept cuddling each other saying really sweet things to each other?? Everything completely platonic too-

TL;DR: Howdy ends ableism MDHHFFJDJDKJ-

are you still doing comfort character chats? and if you are which characters do you write for?

Yes, I am! I've made a server for it on discord (the Chats are private), though I can do them in dms here as well!

As for a character list, I'm still making a more official one, but I can play by character if I'm given around a week to learn about them, or you can choose from ones I'm more familiar with:

Dragon Age (played before): A Cousland, Fenris, Solas, Krem, Varric.

Dragon Age (can play, but have not played before): Alistair, Merrill, Leliana, Bethany.

Teen Wolf (played before): Mason, Theo.

Teen Wolf (can play): Liam, Stiles, Lydia, I can pretty much do anyone from this show, probably off the top of my head.

The Magisterium: Aaron (I'm aware no one has read this, but I'm putting it here. I can also play pretty much anyone.)

Willow (played before): Airk, Madmartigan

Willow (can play): Kit, Jade, Willow, Graydon, Elora

Detroit Become Human (played before): Simon, RK900, Gavin (though I'm not certain if I'm the best at that one).

Detroit Become Human (can play): Markus, North, Connor, (probably) Hank, Kara

Days Gone (can play): Deacon

Dimension 20 (can play): Evan Kelmp, Jammer, K/Dream, Sam (Sorry, I need to finish the others there and so I don't quite have enough experience with them yet), Ylfa

IANOWT (can play): Sydney, Stanley

Borderlands (can play): Gaige, Lilith, Roland, Tiny Tina, Rhys, Angel, (maybe Jack?? That's a lot of raw charisma there though, and he's not exactly comforting... ever? He's funny, though.)

The Witcher (can play): Ciri (I have actually offered to play Ciri for people, I just have not gotten the chance yet, and I'm not familiar with 100% of the material.) Jackie and Yennefer are in the same boat.

There are definitely more that I know, but I haven't made a comprehensive list of possibilities yet.

“… you couldn’t have told me sooner?” A seethed, trembling with anger.

“I did!” B cried out desperately, their hands straining to clutch at the air, as if it would keep the tears from spilling from their eyes. “I did, so many times, A! I did.”

One thing that I really appreciate about martin as a character is how you can observe him becoming more open over the seasons. Specifically with how he expresses himself, I like the way he noticeably becomes more vocal in his anger and pettiness by season 5. There are several things that I think contribute to this, and all of them make me varying levels of sad and happy all at once:

Obviously being part of the magnus archives in any capacity is enough to make someone more openly angry (as evidenced by pretty much everyone), and martin isn't excluded from that general "I'm being held captive by an invisible entity and the world is on the brink of collapse" rage.

Job security. This one is probably silly, but I can imagine that part of the reason that martin's season one, people-pleasing personality eases up slightly as time goes on could genuinely be because he literally can't lose his job. He's canonically stated to be manipulative, and I'm sure that one of his main reasons for him being so is that it was one of the only ways to assure that he and his mother were taken care of. Once he has the assurance that the only way he'll lose his job is via Death or Dismemberment (and also maybe once his mom died oop) I'm sure it was a lot easier to ngaf.

Comfort!!!!! Again! Martin is a manipulative guy! Not maliciously! Maybe not even consciously sometimes, but to me it feels like he's more likely to put on the gentle, friendly face with people he doesn't trust or isn't comfortable with. Come season 4 and 5, though, he's actively more petty towards and around jon (notably in how he reacts to Jon's gouging suggestion and just his general demeanor come apocalypse times). Part of this could certainly be bitterness leaking over because of The Circumstances, but I also feel that it has a lot more to do with the fact that he isn't necessarily trying to impress jon any more. In fact, at this point jon is the one actively seeking him out. He's beyond the point of needing to prove himself or make himself smaller for jon. By season five it's clear that jon loves him and that he'd go to the ends of the earth for him, so martin lets loose. He holds a grudge and he makes jealous requests and he snaps at times. He's a little bit bossy, and he ignores requests, and he sets boundaries. And all of this is so so beautiful because this is a person that, for years, has had to make himself as passive and small and as serving as possible - if not to appease his mother (who hates him) to keep her taken care of. So slowly watching him find people that he doesn't feel the need to act small around or to act as a caretaker to (unless he WANTS to) is a wonderful wonderful thing that I love.

this is an insane request… i like it 😋

what is your favorite thing about charles and your favorite thing about erik? separately, as in what you like most about their characters :]

a devious question this one is, my friend!!! it's hard enough for me to explain my thoughts cohesively, but having to pick ONE thing i particularly love is difficult. with characters like charles and erik, theres been so much done with their characters over the decades and so they have so many components to them that make them so interesting and fun to observe. BUT I TRY FOR YOU TODAY. under the cut i kinda ramble and the size of this text box makin me anxious

i think if i were to be simple and broad, what i enjoy most about charles is his determination to help others, even if he isn't really thanked and/or if people don't even like him. ofc, this isn't to say he hasn't done wrong- to be honest, the fact he does wrong/questionable things at times is another aspect of him i really enjoy, maybe because- broadly speaking- he's meant to be altruistic (intent vs outcome and all that). i don't know if that's super exciting to most people, but it is for me

as for erik, my reason for liking him is easier to explain tbh. To Be Simple And Broad, his progression from villain to antihero over the decades has been fun to observe (as much as i have so far anyhow) and analyze. i think to be a bit more specific, him using his rage and pain as justifications for his villainous actions is definitely what compels me the most: hurt people hurt and the sort, an idea i've always found interesting (something something vicious cycles and the like). yet now, he recognizes this wasn't really. A Just Thing To Do and is beginning to change that, which i enjoy

last thought before i sleep i Do fear that reading nothing but fanfiction for 4 years when i was 14-18 severely stunted my brain. this is not to say that fanfiction is bad: theres fanfics that are extremely well written, which are markers of any good authors out there- but since it relies so heavily on building off of a foundation and reforming the same work over and over they tend to follow a certain flow and pattern in plot, the way characters interact, the way dialogue and action intersect, etc etc. ive been trying to read more books now but i still find it easier to read through fanfic because instinctively, i know what to expect going forward because of my existing knowledge of the characters and the fanon. you have to wash out your brain and prepare to engage anew when youre reading a new book, which takes more effort the longer youre away from it. but thats just me and i can write a fucking paper on the ways fic marketing has its own popular checks and standards as well
