not too forward at all imo, and if it is that’s okay because i REALLY LIKE TO TALK ABOUT MYSELF. it’s a character flaw, sue me.

but okay i guess? man this is a really hard question to answer without the use of fictional characters as comparisons. have you ever seen ‘avatar: the last airbender’? well i’m sokka. if you haven’t, then he’s basically ~the funny guy. he makes the jokes. he’s not the main hero, you know? i’m not the main hero. i’m the comic relief character.

but then it’s like, people aren’t characters and nobody’s simple enough to be one of anything, and i am tragic and i am scared and i am manic and strange and lonely and cruel and kind, i am all those things. i am just like anybody but i happen to have been born into the specific body and circumstance that i was, and affected by the factors i had in my life, and yeah i made a few choices here and there, and viola! a person.

i guess i see my self as this giddy, funny, kind, whimsical figure who goes around being jolly and loving people - but in truth that’s only half the picture, and i like to pretend that the other parts aren’t there but they are. i am not as good a person as i want to be and i am very fallible and sometimes i’m not even sure if i’m good at all. sometimes i cry for days on end for no reason. sometimes i want to be left alone and speak to no one, not even the people i love, but i still love them wildly.

i don’t know. i see myself a lot of ways. it changes. it always changes. i want to be the king of the world and i want to be the sokka and i want to be a tiny piece of a much larger puzzle. i don’t know. i’m sorry if this is an utterly unsatisfactory answer.

out of curiosity anon, why did you want to know? does this mesh at all with how you see me? and what do you think about identity? it’s very important to me but hard to pin down.

anyway, thank you a lot for the question!
