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!
I love this quote so much. I’m not sure who said this, so I’m not sure who to give credit too. While I wish, and have wished this, it make so much sense. I don’t want them here in this world I would rather be in theirs with them.
Instead of making fun of people who do things at an older age that are normally done younger ( like getting their diploma or GED, learning to drive, even learning to read ) how about you:
don’t
If you were a character in your f/o’s media, you’d be the fandom’s OTP. There’d be gifs and edits and playlists and fanart and everyone would love you as a pairing!

Hey, 25 y/o self shipper giving a big shout out to all the other adult self shippers out there! You aren't alone! I was wondering if it's normal to feel insecure about what the creator of a series would think if they knew I was self shipping with their character. Well... Actually it's more of an AU version of their character... But still... I worry. Any thoughts?
Hey Nonnie!!
Special shoutout for adult self shippers out there! You’re not alone and you’re apart of the community just like everyone else 💜
I think if the creators of a series would support self shippers. There have been a few cases to where creators and even VA’s support it.
There was one time when Mod Panda 🐼 voted on an Assassin’s Creed poll on Twitter and Paul Amos; the VA of Jacob Frye from Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate; said that she could support Jacob “in more ways than one”. He basically made her self ship with Jacob canon in her book.
Another time there was someone I followed who self ships with Roadhog from Overwatch gave fanart to Josh Petersdorf; the VA of Roadhog; and made their self ship with Roadhog canon to them.
And I don’t know if you saw this case (it’s been going around the self ship community for positivity) but the creator of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Hirohiko Araki, created a self insert within his own series and a girl went up to him at a con and showed fanart of her self ship with Jotaro and fully supported her.
Whatever the case may be, the creators love it when their characters they created and/or the VA’s to where they gave the character voice and personality love because it’s like an amazing way to show their love and support towards them. If they know of self shipping or not or even if you’re afraid to share with them (which is normal), I believe the would give support none the less.
