>>55008390When I was Hilda's age, I obviously identified with Hilda so I liked seeing her with Ingo, but now that I'm much older I tend to just do like
>>55008576 does and make my own OCs that are older women because I can't self insert as a teenager anymore and I simply prefer little to no age gaps in my ships. But I always made OCs, so I've always had a strong preference for making my own character and tailoring them to be the ideal partner for my husbandos. The main thing that changed was that it stopped being seen as a mega-cringe unforgivable sin so I do it more freely now, even if I don't post the content I make anywhere because I do it entirely for myself. I'm still glad to see the taboo is more or less dead, but I digress.
