I want to self-insert as Robin because I want a gf like StarfireBut my personality IRL is more like Beast Boy, but he ends up with nobody.What should I do ?
>>154041274that's not what self insert means
>>154041274You should not self insert and instead just enjoy characters on their own merits
>>154041331It's not possible to watch a show and not self insert. You wil eventually have to imagine yourself in a character's shoes, the one you relate to the most
I wanted to be Robin too
>>154041379No
>>154041274Beast Boy ends up with Raven in some of the comic continuities anyways, so just be interested in Raven
Playing pretend doesn't have rules.
>>154041379>You wil eventually have to imagine yourself in a character's shoes, the one you relate to the mostThat's called basic empathy, meanwhile self-inserters are sociopaths that hollow out characters and wear them like skinsuits because they physically cannot process viewing other people as anything greater than objects, same people that scream "muh death of the author" when a character does something “immersion-breaking”
>>154041379Unless you're writing fanfiction self inserting isn't possible. Wishing you were someone else is the exact opposite of a self insert.
>>154041274I want one universe where he actually redeems Terra.And to balance it out Robin and Cyborg are gay and do gay stuff when they HIT THOSE SHOWERSAnd also they face Joker and he's like Ceasar Romero Joker more than Ledger or Hamill, hardly insane at all just a nigga with pomp and pagentry and a theme for him and his goons.
>>154041379>You wil eventually have to imagine yourself in a character's shoes, the one you relate to the mostEmpathizing is not the same as self inserting and the fact you don't understand this shows your prefrontal cortex was starved in the womb
Just pretend you're Slade in a bad end timeline where you get to fuck everyone.
>>154041379it's always funny people revealing their psychopathy so casually, not realizing what they just revealed about themselves
>>154041274Just imagine yourself as an original character taking part in the story along the actual cast.Or be normal, but that's hard.
>>154041274>I want to self-insertYou really shouldn't. It's not very nice.
>>154041274I, on the other hand, self-insert as Starfire, like a fucking troon
>>154041274I ship them <3>>154041896
