I actually have 2 "self inserts" (quotes because while Cali started that way he's def grown into his own character at this point), though I don't really use them all that much. At least not in the self insert sense of "oh this is happening to ME personally" y'know?? I see Vincent (second self insert/paraself) more of as a "representation" as me, sort of like an avatar in a video game. He is the customized character that looks out of place in dramatic cutscenes lol.

Getting back on topic, I usually daydream through/"interact" with my paracosms by using other paras. I'm sort of like you, all attempts somehow fail and end up with a "new" para. Like rn my current parame, Neil, is SO very different from me in terms of both backstory and personality (esp his Canon!Self, which has been getting focus as of late). But he is how I interact with MaaC currently (the paracosm in which he's from), my opinions/feelings towards other paras are shaped/based on how they treat him/his views on them, etc.

I’m really curious AGAIN.. I have a single world that all the silly characters are in and small things change for AU’s. Even then I know a lot of people have stuff from other media instead of something from scratch (??)

FOLLOW UPS bc I really just like interacting with people..

To those who answer YES.. Is it a self insert of some kind? Maybe even an idealized version of yourself? HUMAN?!?

To those who answer NO.. Is it specific characters maybe from certain media or OC’s? Is there a certain reason to why you aren’t part of it?

If anyone cares for my answer : No, there is actually nothing I have with ME in it. Any if not all attempts at being myself takes a turn and I swap myself out with an OC somehow?!? My silly little brain world is if you took the earth and added two more countries to it. Then daydream wise every person is just me projecting.. whoops..

Added daydreams to the questions cuz because even besides a full fleshed out story I know them single short and sweet scenarios GO CRAZY

ik these options are very simplified bc character limit, to clarify, you are elaborating on whether your daydream characters are what you consider an "original character" that you created OR if they are more nuanced than that

As Game 2 of Hunting Grounds is coming to an end in all it's anticlimatic glory, I'm now faced with a terrible conundrum

And I figured it can't get much worse by Outsourcing the decision to a poll!

Extra info:

) Yes they both have plot armor

) Current idea for game 3 is retooling "The 8 Show"

) Following both would require me to come up with 2 full games (which is fun but also so much work ;_;)

(If you don't have MaDD, I would strongly prefer you didn't vote at all, but the option is still there so that if you just have to do so, you won't mess up my statistics)

Battle of the Fear Bands B3R1: The Flesh

Cryptid:

“A song about somebody who hates their body so much they’d rather be something other than human? Yeah I am absolutely submitting this.”

The Red Means I Love You:

“Flesh Love!”

Lyrics below the line!

Cryptid:

Do you ever wonder why I Only show up in blurry photographs? Why I feel I have to hide When other's perceptions give me panic attacks? So when I am out, I'm out behind trees I'll hide in the forest where I can be free Maybe to you, it sounds a little strange But maybe I can't be a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl Maybe I wanna be a cryptid Maybe I don't want to exist in this world When everyone's comments turn into scars And everyone lies and says, "Be who you are" What if I wanna be a cryptid? Maybe my ideal body is Bigfoot's Do you think that I'd still hate my body If I grew wings and disappeared into the sky? I don't think anybody's words would matter When I can swoop down and kill them from 30 feet high So when I feel sad, I'll screech in the night Confuse all my neighbors or give them a fright Then wonder why they think I'm a little strange Maybe I can't be a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl Maybe I wanna be a cryptid, maybe I don't want to exist in this world When everyone's comments turn into scars And everyone lies and says, "Be who you are" What if I wanna be a cryptid? Maybe my ideal body is Mothman's Lately, I've been putting the 'cry' in cyptid Wishing I could melt into swamps Beady red eyes can't see beauty standards And stealing someone's skin would hide all my flaws Maybe I can't be a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl Maybe I wanna be a cryptid, maybe I don't want to exist in this world When everyone's comments turn into scars And everyone lies and says, "Be who you are" What if I wanna be a cryptid? Maybe my ideal body is Mothman's

The Red Means I Love You:

Unusual They say strange fascination, infatuation A lunatic Call me what suits your taste, I just wanna taste And I've always heard it's what's inside that counts 'Cause my insides are red And yours are too And the red on my face Is matching you And goodness you're bleeding What a wonderful feeling You're down and you're pleading My head is just reeling The red means I love you Tasting your blood means I love you The red means I love you The red means I love you Unfortunate They say such a shame, I turned out this way A maniac Well, yeah, I get manic when I cause a panic And of course, I'm excited when I see you around 'Cause my insides are red And yours are too And the red on my face Is matching you And goodness you're bleeding What a wonderful feeling You're down and you're pleading My head is just reeling The red means I love you Tasting your blood means I love you The red means I love you The red means I love you You leave me high and dry A rush comes to my mind at the drops Of blood you leave behind Run as you might, my love will never, ever Stop And I've always heard it's what's inside 'Cause my insides are red And yours are too And the red on my face Is matching you And goodness you're bleeding What a wonderful feeling You're down and you're pleading My head is just reeling The red means I love you Tasting your blood means I love you The red means I love you The red means I love you The red means I love you Tasting your blood means I love you The red means I love you The red means I love you

Ive been wanting to ask systems this for a while. As of recently I’ve come to realize the majority of what I’ve considered to be maladaptive daydreaming is actually just internal system shit that I have way less control/influence over than I realized. I’m super curious if anyone else has similar experiences or if they consider those to be completely separate experiences.

question for daydreaming community that has been plaguing me ever since it occurred to me last night and made me existential about my own daydreams
