can you give resources for affirming identity/fictotype(?) π idk if thats the correct way to phrase it but yea
Hiiiii Anon! ^-^
We don't know of any resources for this (the community is welcome to direct us to some, thoughhhhh......)
However, some stuff that helps us personally:
Wearing outfits similar to or inspired by our sources/fictotypes. Zia wears a lot of bright colours and DIY stuff for this, whereas Simon gravitates towards muted colours, hoods, and reds, for example
Listening to music from your source media, or stuff you think they'd like.
Looking at fanart or fanfics, particularly modern AUs (be careful with this oneβ you can very easily run into something uncomfortable)
Styling your hair or making accessories like your fictotype's
Decorating social media stuff (pronouns.cc, Discord proxies, Tumblr sideblogs, you name it!)
This one may be controversial, but some of us get a lot of affirmation from roleplaying as our sources/fictotypes
Our gorgeous and wonderful community is more than welcome to chime in with their own sources of affirmation!
