Transcript by OP

[personal profile] fscom 2025-06-25 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I made up an OC for one of my longer stories (focused on canon characters mostly, but the OC is important for a few plot points). My friend fell in love with OC. I wish I could be as enthusiastic about OC as she is.

She makes a lot of fanart for OC, constantly thinks about OC and wants to talk about them etc. I KNOW I should be nothing other than grateful. But the thing is... OC is by far not one of the most interesting characters I've drawn or written and I felt kind of meh about them from the get-go. It's not for me when people center stories around their fanmade OCs (nothing wrong with it, just not my cup of tea). Point is, I don't even like OC that much and my friend's incredible enthusiasm is kinda pushing me to dislike OC and to dread getting to the part of the story that centers them.

I don't want to tell her, because I know it would hurt her.

Of course I would never show anything other than gratefulness and happiness for the stuff the fandom friend keeps making/writing for me and try to find things to compliment about it. Sometimes I feel like I cannot fake it and try to wait on replying until I am in a better mood.
