Hey girls I'm curious about something and I need insight into girlbrains help me out.
So you know that stereotype that boys like to have cliche fantasies about dying in battle to protect their loved ones while reflecting on their lives on their final moments? Bleeding out in the snow while victorious but fatally wounded seems to be the most popular one for some reason. Yeah, those fantasies.
There's definitely a version of this for women but it's a little different. Less of a "dying in battle to save people" fantasy but more like a sympathetic, tragic self-insert heroine type of fantasy. I don't have the insight to see a pattern of what the most popular tragic fantasy scenarios are. I wanna know what the most popular scenarios are and see if I can find a common thread.
Anyway I'm trying to collect as many tragic daydreams as I can and I want to see if I can find a winner. This is a totally non-judgemental question of pure curiosity, so don't worry if you think your tragic heroine fantasy is a cringe maladaptive daydream or whatever, I still want to know about it. Tell me any and all scenarios featuring romanticized suffering or death that you've imagined yourself in. Also, are they something you still do, or something you used to do when you were younger but grew out of? Tell me everything.
So far "being dragged away from your loved ones by assailants while screaming" and "beautifully tortured artist and/or philosopher with traumatic backstory" seem to be the top contenders. Being persecuted in the actual literal witch trials is a popular pick too. I want more anecdotal information because I just know there's a pattern in there.
