I strongly identify as a character who I dislike? They hurt a lot of people, and that makes me very uncomfortable.. do you have any tips on identifying as a villain and how to deal with that? I have a lot of guilt about identifying as them and am really worried about talking to people from my canon who were hurt by me (or even killed by me). I’m not sure if it’s okay to identify as a character who’s done these things. I just don’t know if I can reconcile my feelings with their actions.
How do you feel about the bad things you may have done when you were younger? Do you accept them as part of yourself, and learn and grow from them?
This is the same way that you should approach villainous things that your fictionkin self has done. Recognize that its something you did, and hopefully would never do again, and realize that you don’t have any power to change that yes, if you are fictionkin, then you have done this thing.
As the Digimon Kazier I committed horrible acts that I regret to this day, and still sometimes have nightmares about what I have done. This is just a fact of my life, that I have had to reconcile with. One of the ways it has impacted me is I have a very hard time playing ‘evil’ routes in video games, because some part of my mind imagines ‘what if I am wrong again? what if this is not just a game, and I am really hurting people somewhere’. Because that is what I did in my fictionkin life.
If you are fictiokin, and your fictionkin self has done terrible things, you need to own up to them, and recognize them as part of your past, because you can’t change who you were. You can only promise to do better in the future.
