Don’t feel forced to stick to the canon.
If you want to take into account just one part of your f/o’s story, do it. If you don’t want them to be dead, keep them alive. If they are married/engaged/whatever, make them yours.
Even if they are a villain who want to destroy or dominate the world, they love you. Even if they are a king/queen and you a simple civilian or servant, you’re their queen/king. Even if they’re an evil creature, they’ll protect you.
Don’t feel unworthy of their love and adoration just because of the canon.
If you want to mix different stories and universes, you can. This is all about your imagination. Do whatever you want. Create your own universe.
“Human beings may be the only living creatures in the entire universe who have a universal consciousness. We have a staggering sense of the immense and mysterious cosmos we are part of.Therefore, not only do we have a global responsibility to save our planet. We have a cosmic responsibility.”

any reason why whenever I talk about interracial couples people automatically assume it means “one white person and one person of colour” or???

So I was just experiencing daydream crash a couple days ago, and I realized some things that actually made me feel comforted.
This will be a list of ways to get over daydream crash.
1.) If you have a large stuffed animal (small works too I guess), just hold it like you’re holding your para.
The reason I thought of this was because I have this stuffed bunny that I named after my para Nesset, and this stuffed platypus that I named after Ellen. And when I hug them, it makes me think that I’m actually hugging my para’s. I don’t know if it’ll work for any of you, but it helped me when I was curled in a ball covered in tears haha. I just felt better I guess. Not to mention I always have to sleep with these stuffed animals, and since they’re about medium-sized, it makes me feel like my para’s are right next to me.
2.) Listening to music.
Now I’m not just talking about any kind of music. I’m talking about songs that would normally bring joy to your para’s. Or a song that made you extremely happy about a daydream you had. I know daydream crash is where you realize this stuff isn’t real and it can never be real, but if you think about it, you want the best for your para’s, and if anything, I’m sure all of your para’s want the best for you. They wouldn’t want to see you upset. So maybe listening to one of their favorite songs will make you happier because you know how happy it makes your para’s. Just because they aren’t real, it doesn’t mean they don’t care about your emotions.
3.) Listen to your para’s sing!
This one is kind of related to the last tip. But its kind of different. If you saw my post about how I give my para’s a famous singers voice, you should understand what I’m talking about here. If you don’t, I’ll explain. I have certain bands/singers that I listen to for comfort when I’m experiencing daydream crash. But the reason I listen to just a couple specific bands/singers is because I use those voices as my escape. Since I use Tossing Copper, and I The Mighty as Ellen’s voice claim. I picture Ellen singing those songs to me. And its extremely comforting because their voices are amazing, and mellow (mellow depending on the song). And if you have a para that has a voicelcaim. Use that band/singer as your escape! Like I said, its basically like your para is singing to you. Its the most comforting feeling ever I swear!
4.) The Multi Universe Theory!!
If you haven’t heard of the Multi Universe theory, I strongly suggest and highly recommend that you look it up!!
If you’re lazy and don’t want to, then I’ll explain! Basically what it is is scientists have studied that there may be more than just this universe. Because the universe goes so far out into nothing basically, obviously it has to lead to something. So if you think about it, these dreamverses that we have, these para’s that we have, they could possibly be real! Not to mention studies showed that “more likely than not” there are DEFINITELY more universes out there. If this doesn’t help you with your crash, I don’t know what will. I was super relieved when I heard about it.
The only question is how do we get there? They haven’t figured that out yet, but it was confirmed that they could most likely exist.
I really hope this helped some of you guys who have gone/are going through daydream crash! If you need to talk, I’m always willing to listen!
You are loved.
You are valid.
Do you ever read a piece of your own writing and just go oh damn
