I should just make a secret about this and I probably will, but...

I find it a little weird when people get hyper-fixated on their OCs. Like by all means, you should love your own characters and enjoy bringing them to life and building their world. But once or twice I've seen people get waaaaaaaay into their OCs in a way that's reminiscent of fandom fixation on a canon character, only in the case of the OC, there is no canon except what exists inside your head? And nobody else shares your fixation because there's no context for this amazing character except in your fanart and "imagine if..." meta?

Weird.
