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

[(Anonymous)]

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.

Doesn't it make sense, though? It's a character that they've had to build from the ground up, whose perspective they've had to both invent and try to inhabit. When writing, they've had to filter events through that character's perspective. Considering how much time they've spent working on and thinking about them, why wouldn't it make sense for them to grow attached?

Good conversation on this, it makes me wish I had OCs to obsess over!
Time to revive my teenage cringe creations maybe..

I don't find it weird at all? It's annoying when people want you to treat their OCs like canon characters, or will only do fandom in that way, but I very much see why people get attached to them. And also so many canon characters drift waaaaaay away from their canon selves into OC land anyway.

+1. Not to mention being attached to an OC in a similar way you would towards a canon character means that they're 100% under your "control" too.

No, I think that's pretty normal. Especially in video game fandoms with custom protagonists. What I think is weirder is expecting others in your fandom to join you in your corner to worship your OC, that's a form of behavior that crosses a line. It always seemed entitled when they're in a fandom with plenty of people creating OCs.
