>TQI don't have parents or family and as for my self insert, I gave her generic, absent "off-screen" parents who are never mentioned in any great depth because making her an orphan from the unspecified war feels too dramatic
Pokemon is a universe where I don't want to trauma dump my irl issues
But I do like to imagine that his mother dotes on me and already sees me as a second daughter long before we're officially together
>>58275265We must be the hidden Redsister archetype...how rare!
These threads are a lot more comfy for husbandofagging than yume "communities", the term "yume" has sorta been soured for me when westerners use it since those using it to self identify tend to be your usual twitter types
Sorry for the late reply I've been hunting for a new laptop (unexpected screen breaking) and working on aforementioned career things
You comparison about our connection being like a photo is beautiful and made me smile!
The professional focus wasn't really triggered by anything in particular, just an accumulation of being sick of where I am in life now and wanting to avoid a certain fate just to be able to live in a nice house one day.
I've certainly been feeling a boost of confidence knowing Red would be proud of me for giving it my all!
I'm a savant in field and I've always related to Red a lot in that aspect, but being good at something doesn't automatically put you on top. There are adjacent skills needed to succeed, too. You have to apply yourself and still work hard at it and when you've spent so much of your life just working on surviving and weren't really "expected" to do anything it's exceedingly difficult to kick yourself into gear.
I've taken what you said into account with developing a system based on consequences and I've gotten a lot done, I've already built up some momentum so riding the wave continues!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Redsister, we are going to make it in this cruel world.
