thinking once again about how my desire to present my silly little gnome OCs as definitely being goofy little guys but still also capable of being seen as desirable or being treated with respect or even just taken seriously at all feels like self love even when said OCs don't have anything specific in common with me

#no melliwyk doesn't look or even act anything like me. yes me deciding that she's peak gnomish standards for beauty feels affirming to me.#don't worry about it #I just think it would be neat for a silly little weirdo with a funny voice and weird habits and a disinterest in performing femininity #to also be viewed by others unironically as someone worthy of love and respect and whom it would not be weird to be attracted to!#for no particular reason!!#melliwyk is the kind of character trope where usually that character having a love interest is played somewhat comedically #in the. same way that presenting a fictional character who looks anything like me as a love interest would also be obviously meant as funny #this is NOT what I was thinking about before but 'gnomes may be goofy but they should still be played as People'#is a pretty closely related feeling lmao #anyway this is all uncharacteristically personal for four in the goddamn afternoon lmao #feeling navel gazey #not that I haven't talked about this before I guess but it is... embarrassing ahdkflsshls #about me #my OCs
