something i don't see lot of people talk about
coping with the death of yourself
both of my fictotypes who are 'human' have died in the source media
and i identify wholly as them and see myself as them
and i feel like nobody understands how hard it is to grasp that you are dead in some sense
perhaps not bodily/in this body
but you are dead in some way
and you have to cope with that?
i have to cope with that?
pretend with my friends like i'm just highly empathetic and attached to this piece of media? that this isn't completely devastating?
it makes me feel empty and i hate it.
i don't want to be dead anymore
