(Anonymous) 2013-04-12 06:27 am (UTC)(link)Just for once, I want the world to revolve around *me*, even if it's a fictional world.
see that's where we differ. i don't imagine myself as part of a story at all when i'm experiencing it, i'm more the third-person observer type.
i'm also not a fan of most modern real-world canons because again, it's too similar to real life in my mind and it just doesn't hold my interest. i consume media for things that aren't like my actual life at all, which is why i tend to prefer sci-fi and fantasy canons. in general, i relate to female characters better than i do male characters, which ironically means that i end up having less interest in them.

I sympathise with you there. I tend to think that I grew out of my self-insert stage early because I prefer to sit back and watch, instead of imagining myself participating.
It's like a tweet I posted last night (in the midst of a flurry of MTV poll tweeting): Thorin Oakenshield: I wouldn't say he's welcome to do what he likes to me because I'd rather he do it to Bilbo instead.
Maybe a little part of that is that the characters I like the most are the ones I'd probably think are total jerks IRL, but that exact jerkishness is what makes them fascinating characters to read/watch/play.
