✨Your paracosm is valid and so are you✨
So, lemme tell y'all something. I'm in a few MaDD discord servers, and people tend to infodump about their paracosm and/or paras. Some other people don't want to, because they say their paracosms are "too boring", or "too cliche".
Oh, hear me out. It doesn't matter if your paracosm has the biggest lore in the history of lores, and it doesn't matter if it's just a bunch of unrelated scenes. You're not creating a story for the sake of creating a story, you're using daydreaming as a coping mechanism. Some people like making their paracosms have a plot, some don't. Some just want a daydream to make themselves feel better. I myself have two main paracosms, one where there's a really long plot, and the other that's just for cute little scenes to calm myself down when I feel sad.
And that's valid too! Is your paracosm a really complex fantasy world? Is it irl? It's something that looks like it belongs in a disney movie? That's valid too! You daydream for yourself and yourself only, nobody has the right to tell you that your paracosm is "too cliche" or "too boring". So don't be afraid to talk about your paracosm, even if it's a simple story. Make as many drawings or picrews as you want, as many written stories as you want, heck, make memes about your paracosm and if you want to, send them to people that know what's about. There's NOTHING more fun than talking to someone about your paracosm and act as if it was some anime and you were the fanbase.
You're valid, MaDD is a problem, and a serious one, and people with MaDD don't need more people telling them that their coping mechanism is "too cliche".
