🤎 How to include your fictional caregiver in your daily life (without AI!) 🤎
- Create an OC for your fictional caregiver's series/universe. Give them lore!
- Create moodboards of your fictional caregiver and what you'd like to do together.
- Plan a day or trip you'd like to go on with them!
- What are your character's best values? Try and use them as inspiration to make them proud! Example: if your caregiver is very disciplined, think of how pleased they'd be to see you take care of yourself!
- If there are meals they like, try cooking them for yourself. Who knows, they might even introduce you to your new favourite dish.
- Create a scrapbook for them, including your artwork, favourite quotes of theirs, etc.
- Use the Finch app and name your bird after your character, so you get notifications from them throughout the day, reminding you to take care of yourself.
- Make a playlist of songs that remind you of them, or would remind them of you.
- Find a colour, article of clothing or accessory that reminds you of them and 'borrow it' on days where you need extra support.
- Buy a small plush of them, or one that reminds you of them. Bring them out in your bag or pocket, dress them up, take photos of them... the possibilities are endless!
- Commission artwork, fanfics or comfort character letters.
- Have them be your inner monologue when you need a little extra support. Having a bad day? What would your caregiver tell you to cheer you up?
- Find an ask account of your character here on Tumblr and say hello (just make sure you know their boundaries!)
I hope these help, and remember, your fictional caregiver loves you and is so proud of you! 🐾
