Fictionkin Dysphoria Tips! 💙 (These may not be applicable to everyone, so feel free to add your own tips more specific to spiritual/psychological experiences in the reblogs if you have any!)
Canon is nothing more than a shitty adaptation of your life. Things had to be changed to make it more interesting - or if it was played down, palatable - to audiences.
Your fictionselves are just that - fictionselves. The same way that in this universe I have a more academic version of myself and a more silly version of myself, you may have many between universes as well.
Don't have memories? Yeah, I don't have memories from when I was one year old. Doesn't mean I wasn't me yet, just means there is a barrier to me remembering.
Have memories that misalign with canon? Refer to point one, but also keep in mind that if canon really does feel super right to you, you could always be misremembering. Happens all the time.
Have "too many" memories? That's awesome! It's so cool you're able to retain all that.
Having merch of yourself isn't weird. You're a celebrity. You have tens to millions of fans. Bands wear their own merch all the time. Wear that shirt with your face on it, it's normal.
Likewise, having so many fans is bound to come with people making weird theories up about you, drawing you doing weird shit, and - as stated in point one - making up weird ass recountings of your life. Sadly, there's not much to be done about it, but just know that it comes with the territory.
Look nothing like your fictionself? Yeah, people's appearances change. I looked like my name was Mary and I went to church when I was four. Now I look like my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and I throw puppies in garbage cans.
Act nothing like your fictionself? Congratulations on the character development.
Oh god I gotta get my lusus to clean my room. It's messy as fuck in here. Lint on the ground. Hope this helped!
Varian here again with a huge fandom pet peeve(s):
People in the fanbase treating like Rapunzel and Eugene are my found family/parent figures when I have an ACTUAL DAD I worked three whole seasons to save.
At most Rapuzel and Eugene are like older siblings to me. Lance is literally right there with two adopted daughters! You have your family found trope right there! - #🧪⚗️🏆🌙

Okay. I was clearly being hyperbolic when I said 'Varian did nothing wrong'. The kid clearly did things wrong, but my point was he was *a traumatised child*. If someone had just checked on him then things never would have reached that point! You all *forgave him* in canon, even. I would honestly prefer people demonise me instead of demonising a kid. -Cass
