I don’t really think looking up at fictional characters is necessarily bad, many of them are really really cool or even similar to us, even me right now I “look up” at this character called the twelve architec from silksong because in a future I will graduate as architect, I even did a little wood cutoff of said character that now I have right newt to me in my working table to give me motivation to continue homework jdkekxn

I look up to fictional characters as role models all the time I don't think there's anything wrong with that :0 Sometimes the characters are so well written, that they can feel real

Selfshippers, yume shippers, and fans have been doing this for years and have certainly be stigmatized BUT there is no harm to it at all Obviously you must balance fiction and reality, but I've been living in my head for years because I couldn't make real friends until highschool Sometimes fictional characters are enough when people arent, and if an inspiring character inspires you I think you should hold onto that
