Do you feel upset that your OCs aren’t like real

15 Votes yeah lmao

2 Votes nah that’s weird

Kind of important question: and I’d love other peoples opinions on this is would help a lot!

Do you ever feel sad that your characters are not real? Like genuine pain that these beings that you’ve grown to love so much just can’t exist beyond a screen or whatever??

And if so: what do you do to help yourself through it?

Sometimes I sleep with my fursuits, I definitely sleep with my plushies (OC and not OC plushies). And commissioning artwork of them takes a bit of money and is only a small, temporary hit of serotonin.

Yeah just hoping to bounce ideas off of other people who may experience similar things! Any comment is GREATLY appreciated!

God I literally love my characters so much, they are so important to me and I feel like so many people on this platform absolutely relate to that sentiment

Um for me I super love to make comics !!!! And also draw out super niche details about them like their mannerisms or the way they speak, makes them feel more real ! ^w^

I’m also a widdle bit mentally ill👉👈 and struggle with social intelligence so they with all their different personalities help me to kinda think things through and relate to people better! I be daydreamin like so much oml,,

It’s really cool to have people like that too on th<33

I think something I would do, would be imagining how they would deal with any problems or situations you face in real life, and going through all of your sona's responses one by one as if you're asking them for help or advice. Another thing I would do would be giving them extensive lore and stories of them interacting with eachother just to make them feel a little more real, as if they're telling me about their day.

I usually make props or items that I think they'd own, almost like sharing my room with them. I also once made a cosplay of my persona alastor and I just kinda wore it around the house. Getting in character and drawing him or doing things I know he'd do also helps me feel closer to him! Ex: I made hot glue mushrooms and painted a hoodie to be like his.

He's on my main account rn but he's legit my baby. I've had him for like 7-8 years at this point and I can never get enough!

Currently uploading art of him in increments so excuse the lack of art 😭

Often times, yes, yes indeed! Although this feeling mostly goes towards other fictional characters that aren't owned by me, it's not reserved to them.
I do find myself getting upset when my OCs and general creations can't come to a reality, especially if they're comfort OCs. Because I always wish deeply that they're here in some shape or form.

To help, I do nothing but daydream. Very, very often. It honestly helps the most! I either daydream or doodle them as many times as I can until the feeling passes. Which usually lasts a few days.

Yes the comfort OCs for sure!! Thanks for sharing though I really appreciate it! Currently daydreaming 😈

I write their backstories in a word doc and work on getting them published so the world can love them too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm also always on a CONSTANT drawing spree and sometimes.... I know this sounds weird but.... I talk to myself as them and it makes me happy HEHHEHHSFSSDNKFE
