i wish there wasnt “””cringey””” stigma involved around drawing/writing self-inserts bc its honestly such a wholesome and cute thing that i fully support
like sometimes when im feeling shitty i’ll doodle myself like, playing cards or something with one of my favorite characters and i’ll feel a bit better afterwards. it’s a small thing but it makes me feel just a little less shitty.
so shoutout to everyone that enjoys drawing self-insert stuff to cheer yourself up a bit in tough times, you deserve to hug your favorite character without some greasy dudebro calling you cringey
