Hello everyone, there's something that I'd like to share with everyone here, because I believe it will help a lot of people.
For us folks who engage in imaginary worlds, with canon characters or our own creations, who have deep conversation with their faves in their heads or need their comfort character's shoulder to cry on, there is an unavoidable phenomenon which I took the liberty of naming "Character burnout".
"Character Burnout" essentially means that you have no energy in order to visualise your character(s) in your mind or engage with them on your imagination. I've come to the conclusion that it can be a result of an actual burnout (mental) or it can be irrelevant to mental state and your mind is overwhelmed. Simply put, it is the way your mind kindly asks you for a small break to charge its batteries. After all, picturing an entirely different reality needs a lot of energy.
Now, the reason I'm saying all this, is not for the sake of just mentioning it. I understand that a lot of us are extremely attached to our comfort characters/ f/o(s) or whatever you prefer calling them, myself included, and this situation can be very stressful. Personally, I panic, thinking that I've lost interest to my favourite characters or "grew out of it" to the point I become unable to function at all, but, after a small amount of time I can connect with them again.
So, when you experience this, please don't jump into conclusions or let fear overcome you, the connection will come back again as enjoyable as ever, you just need to be patient and give your mind the time it deserves to recharge in order to take you places again. It may take days, or weeks, but the love we have for our characters is never gone.
If anyone wants to talk about this, please do speak your mind, and I'm open if someone wants to discuss it with me as well.
So um that's it, and and sorry for the long post!

The hardest part about being a selfshipper miles is,... Sometimes your f/o only appears once in the entire media.

On the Internet, I found a frame from some film unknown to me (And I will be grateful if anyone, who know, writes what film it is)
And the idea not only came to my mind, but just knocked me off my feet and I ended up making a quick redraw with Ari and Martin...
And Chris.

TFW, you're an amateur Coder trying to learn for your class, and you get isekai'd into a murder VR Game. And you're not even a gamer! Wild.
Scribbles in @sm-baby 's Digital carnival Au! She would be an acrobat/trapeze artist.
(She's about to loose it and maul someone- Whoopsies! 🫢)
She's unsure of how she ended up in this situation, but by golly if she isn't going to cheat - I mean, work her way to win everyone over till she can escape- then you're wrong!
The little flower and ribbon she wears totally isn't actually a virus in disguise that corrupts the A.I's view of her whaaaatt nooo-
(A little self-indulgent piece: )
What's an "evil Oswald" without his "morally questionable Ortensia"?
(She smells like peonies. )
Caine is flabbergasted how she managed it. She has no clue either.
