hi. just a reminder

you are not the unreliable narrator. you’re the one who kept going after the story got quiet.

healing doesn’t mean forgiving. and forgiveness doesn’t mean they get to rewrite the ending.

love, someone who's been unlearning their own tall tales for years

Whump/Medical writers:

Interesting facts about brain injuries (from experience). These can be short term or permanent

- seizures, intracranial hypertension, csf loss excess leaks

- vision issues such as floaters and loss of sight, peripheral vision issues, eye tracking issues

- tinnitus, inner/middle ear hearing loss, pulsatile tinnitus, exploding tinnitus, auditory hallucinations

- nausea, lightheadedness, balance issues

- Every type of headache you can imagine, migraines, kaleidoscopes, auras, ice pick, hypnic, headaches with coughing and sneezing, daily chronic headaches

- nerve damage that doesn’t show up on imaging, muscle tension, spasms, internal vibrations, tremors

- PTSD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, nightmares

- Memory loss, sense of smell issues

I will add more if I remember. A lot of things will not show up on normal imaging depending on the degree of the injury. Feel free to comment or DM if you have questions.

PS- You’ll seem crazy with the exploding tinnitus and auditory hallucinations but they’re hilarious

Welcome to the You Saved Mii blog.

You Saved Mii is an Autobiographical fiction based on my real life and real trauma. It is an entire Wii Deleted You Reimagining, taking the bare-bones of the original Creepypasta and turning it to something much more complex... and personal.

It's important for you to know I am not apart of the WDY fandom. I am not publishing this story for fandom fan-service- Do not play dolls with this AU. That means, regardless of if you're doing it publicly or privately, you would be disrespecting this entire story's purpose as a cathartic and deeply personal piece of writing, DO NOT USE THIS AU'S CHARACTERIZATION/DESIGNS/ETC. FOR YOUR (CRACK/SELF/OCxCANON/ALTERNATIVE CANONxCANON) SHIPS. Every established pairing, queer identity, and mental health struggle is not just a barely developed trait- they are essential to the characters. Do not create headcanons that alter any of these things. You can make fan art (I'm not okay with fanwritings, sorry) so long as it follows the strict rules shown in the You Saved Mii strawpage, which also serves as a hub for information about this work. You must be able to enforce the boundaries Outlined surrounding my designs and characterizations, or I ask you not create fanart for me. And if you are in my DNI, don't engage with YSM at all.

You Saved Mii follows Austin James Sanders (who is written to be- not just merely represent- me, @henstinpilled in every way, from name, nervous tics, and habits, to mental health struggles and trauma) navigating a life in 2006 as a gay man with internalized homophobia, struggling with hyper independence and a myriad of other wounds formed from his neglectful and traumatic upbringing. Whenever he begins to work at Nintendo of America as an intern, he is reunited with his estranged brother, Jonathan. His welcoming and compassionate boss, Todd, assigns him to work with the elusive office pariah, Henry Morris, believing his coding has untapped potential that Austin can bring out. During his internship-turned-full-time-job, he is forced to confront his deepest issues alongside found family, and perhaps even a first love that knows his exact pain and forces him to accept who he truly is...

Please don't approach this with a fandom entitlement attitude. Art is not created and published for you to do whatever you want with it- regardless of if it's posted publicly or not. If you can't respect that, it suggests a lot about you. It's not created as something you have rights over- I'm just giving you the permission to experience it. Creators do not owe you unrestricted use of their fanwork.

This story has so much poured into it. it's Novel length (estimated to be 70-80k upon completion) story written with intentions to characterize the WDY cast that otherwise didn't get a chance- though it mainly follows Henry and I. The plot is mainly internal conflict driven and influenced by external factors. The biggest antagonist is generational trauma and the difficultly to overcome what a broken childhood can inflict on someone.

For those considerate and respectful enough to understand my boundaries, I hope you enjoy reading. I hope a story that came out of my own life brings you some sort of comfort or joy. You aren't alone. Seeing people enjoy this brings me so much joy and I really appreciate the support.

Necesitaba oír de sus labios un "te amo" que sabía falso.

Lo necesitaba para confirmar que el pozo estaba, efectivamente, seco.

Quise llevarme la prueba definitiva.

Escuchar la mentira retumbando en el aire.

Verla fuera de mí.

Exorcizarla.

Esta vez, yo fui el caballo de Troya.

Fui a buscar su mentira.

La escuché.

La sostuve en mis manos.

Y al verla, comprendí que ya no tenía poder sobre mí.

Yo le vi.

Y al verle, dejó de existir para siempre.

Writing Notes: Autofiction

Autofiction - (short for autobiographical fiction) is a genre of literature that combines elements of autobiography and fiction.

In autofiction, details of the author’s life blend with fictional information, characters, and events.

It often reads as like a published first-person account of the writer’s real life.

The line between fiction and fact might not always be clear to the reader, leading to a sense of instability in the narrative.

Autobiographical novels are novels that use elements of autofiction.

Characteristics of Autofiction

The specific characteristics of autofiction are subject to interpretation, but some common features in autofiction works include:

Life proximity: Beyond character names, the work will contain similarities between the author’s life and that of the protagonist. The most important one tends to be the role of writing in the protagonist’s life. Often, the protagonist is a professional writer. Some autofiction is a type of autobiographical metafiction, which focuses on the writing and storytelling process.

Name sharing: Authors of autofiction will sometimes share the same name as the protagonist of the novel or short story.

Uncertainty: Much of the tension in autofiction comes from uncertainty about what is real and what is fictional. Some details will be verifiable, but others may be difficult or impossible to determine by a reader, causing speculation.

Examples of Autofiction

Autofiction is a fairly popular genre, and there have been several recent examples of this blend of the real and the fictional:

Every Day is for the Thief (2007): The first novel by Nigerian-American writer Teju Cole, this account of a young man’s journey to Nigeria has a diaristic form, reflecting Cole’s own journey to discover his roots.

My Struggle (2009-2011): In this epic cycle of novels by Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgaard, the author tells the story of his own life. Knausgaard made up details to fill in the blanks of his recollection.

How Should a Person Be? (2010): Canadian writer Sheila Heti constructed this work from interviews with various personal friends, offering a unique version of autofiction.

The Outline Trilogy (2014-2018): Rachel Cusk, a British-Canadian writer, has worked in both fiction and essay form. Critics consider her trilogy of novels, Outline, Transit, and Kudos, to be autobiographical fiction. Unlike most autofiction, the narrator in this trilogy relays information about other characters and not much about herself.

Motherhood (2018): This work of autofiction by Canadian writer Sheila Heti focuses on her struggles about deciding whether or not to have children.

The Topeka School (2019): In Ben Lerner’s work of autofiction, the author describes experiences that closely mirror events from his own life, in scenes set in Kansas and then New York.

A Brief History of Autofiction

Autofiction dates back to Ancient Greece, and its popularity continues to rise.

First-person narratives: First-person narratives with an autobiographical component are nearly as old as literature itself. Some scholars credit “I,” a lyric poem by the Archaic Greek poet Sappho, as an early example of this type of text.

In Search of Lost Time (1913-1927): Scholars consider this seven-volume work by the French novelist Marcel Proust an early version of autofiction. It involves many details and characters from Proust’s own life, although much else is fictionalized.

Autofiction: The term “autofiction” first surfaced when the author Serge Doubrovsky used it to describe his 1977 novel Fils. Sleepless Nights (1979) by Elizabeth Hardwick and I Love Dick (1997) by Chris Kraus were instrumental in popularizing the genre and the use of the term in scholarship and book reviews.
