RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

god, i am really OBSESSED with a fictional character (sh.itjust.works)

so, i have this friend and we talk about the wallace and gromit character victor quartermaine.

i know this reads like a shitpost but i am really obsessed with him and all i do is get really happy and dazed and giggly around him and it's so annoying because he's not even real and he gives me energy to keep me awake at night and i go to sleep thinking about him. ughhh and my friend is like his biggest fan and she also likes him please help. it's a fuel for my creativity to make headcanons and stories with victor but this feeling hurts to like him so much and i also don't want to make my friend jealous.

and the other character is the vicar and NO ONE talks about him and that kind of hurts too because no one will like him like i do but at least i have someone with victor.

Read about Chris Chan. It will help you understand what could happen if you let this obsession continue.

funny you say that cause I know someone who just confessed to talking to gpt everyday and I mean obsessively

We’re in the same boat, I used to but really ashamed about my obsession with a fictional character as well but eventually I realized that I can use that affection to improve myself. I’m probably biased but I don’t see anything wrong with it as long as you keep in mind that it’s all a fantasy. There’s nothing wrong with it if it isn’t affecting your life negatively.

I’m afraid to ask, but I have to know: have you been diddling yourself over these Wallace and Gromit characters?

[–] classybattery@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not at all, thankfully

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

That is probably for the best.
