i really really wanna write a story at some point that starts out as one of those cliche YA novels where a normal human character finds out about an entire magic world they didn't know about- except the character is some form of mentally ill with paranoia and delusions, so the story revolves around how much more difficult it becomes for this person to percieve the world while also dealing with whatever Magic Bullshit is being thrown at them

#cw unreality #tw unreality #<- just for the description of some of the delusions #i don't want to trigger someone else to have a bad delusion/paranoia because of my own paranoias + creative writing ideas #but like the story is told by this unreliable narrator #who is unreliable due to the fact that they can't even rely on their own brain #and the struggle is figuring out what's real and what's reliable #but because of the character's history with their mental illness they can't do it on their own #but suddenly don't know if they can trust literally anyone else around them because- what if it's all just lies #but then also are stuck in a place of semi-denial where they desperately want to believe this isn't real and is just another delusion #so the story focuses on them learning to manage their symptoms enough to get a hold on what's happening #while both you and the main character struggle to figure out what's actually happening in the story #a semi-mystery type thing #idk just. as a person with delusions and paranoia #if something like that happened to me i would *freak the fuck out*#like on one hand i've been begging to get isekai'd into a fantasy world my whole life #on the other hand i would have absolutely no way to tell whether or not it was just a bad mental break #because the worse your symptoms get the harder perception becomes #to where i don't know if i'd be able to trust literally any of my senses because well. i get pretty vivid tactile hallucinations #i wouldn't be able to reach out and touch the magic creature in front of me and immediately know it was real #it could just be my brain supplying the sensation because i expected it and my own brain is crafting a false world around me #and as a writer just. thinking about that kind of fucked up situation makes me a little rabid #i like to fuck up my characters. lots #and fucked up situations based on my own delusions/paranoias? fun content fun content
