idk if it's an unpopular opinion, but hdb laito was THE superior laito and the one i consider as THE canonically accurate laito. every other version of him feels watered down and just doesn't have the same intense terrifying vibes. there is nothing romantic about hdb laito's route, he was horrible and horrifying from start to finish. he never falls in love with yui and even the good ending was creepy as hell. they committed to his character but toned him down in the sequels to make him more of a love interest. hdb laito's character was actually scary. like i was lowkey scared and unsettled playing his route.

Diabolik lovers has been weirdly good for my mental health. It's gotten me to fix many of my harmful or self destructive tendencies, because the characters basically cover the full range of unhealthy and shitty behaviors a person can have, so if I'm acting anything like a dialovers character, I need to check myself.

I stopped self isolating and trying to make people mad at me when I was having morality spirals because that's Subaru behavior.

I stopped assuming that people hated me because they did things that I never actually told them not to because that's Kanato behavior.

I'm trying to stop ignoring my limits and holding myself to the standards of a healthy person (I'm chronically ill) because that's Carla behavior.

These things still take work, it's not a perfect system, but it's really helpful. Diabolik lovers has genuinely made me a better and more stable person.

Of course, this means I had to tell my therapist about dialovers, and now she asks for updates about what's happening in my fanfic every week.

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

I don't remember where I saw this piece of advice so I can't credit it, unfortunately

But it was along the lines of "instead of asking whether something is out of character, ask 'what would it take for this character to do this'"

Which I think fits really nicely with this advice of making the actual action itself also feel in character

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

“They said they wanted a vampire relationship with no age gap”

“No age gap??!?!?”

“And no non-con elements”

“NO NON CON?”

“And no coercion or otherwise manipulative behaviors”

“Joe they want a vampire with NOTHING”
