Who cares if your OC is a self insert
My main OC is my apathy personified. He says all the smartass things I would say if I wasn’t a coward. He’s short small and scrawny like me. He’s got wild spiky hair like me. And his main personality trait is his and also my biggest flaw: not caring enough about anything. He’s me, and he’s valid because I’m valid.
Another OC of mine is a coward. He avoids combat at all costs, a complete pacifist just like me. He’s creative and a little eccentric and can’t bring himself to hate anyone, no matter what they’ve done. That’s also his biggest flaw, forgiving people too easily and not knowing when or how to stand up for himself, a big flaw I struggle with on the daily.
Another OC is a total anti-conformist. She’s a rebel to the grave and is for anything that’s anti-systematic. She goes out of her way to do what other people aren’t and she doesn’t trust anyone. This lack of trust is her biggest flaw and she often finds herself alone because she’s hostile to everything and everyone, even if she doesnt mean it, which is why I find myself alone a lot.
Idk where I’m going with this, this is just stream of consciousness type shit, but the point is that its okay to have self inserts. In a world like elder scrolls, or a world that you create on your own, where you can make whoever be whatever you want, why wouldn’t you put a piece of you in there? Even if it’s an ideal version of you, thats okay because sometimes people need to live out those fantasies to make themselves feel good when they’re insecure. It’s also a good way to personify your problems, like my apathy or my cowardice, sometimes its good to visualize these things if it helps you have a deeper connection to the world you’ve found yourself in.
Plus, idk how you can make a character and not have a bit of yourself in them. I feel like you have to have something to connect you to the person you’re making, otherwise you might be completely detached from them and their story. What happens to them is happening to you, and how would you know how to react as them in the fantasy world if you’re nothing like them in real life? Even if you’re nothing like them, if you’re a small coward like me and you make this brave charismatic warrior paladin, you’re living vicariously through them and doing what you wouldn’t normally do through sheer curiosity if nothing else, and that curiosity is just as much a part of you as anything else.
So in conclusion, no. Self inserts aren’t a bad thing. If it helps you form a deeper connection with the world, go for it and don’t listen to what anyone else says because odds are their character is a self insert too.

Commission!
By woah10spac - 1/27/22
I had a great time with this commission for my new friend @elesssar! This is a Skyrim OC (Which is basically D&D right??) named Casha, and she’s a mage who doubles as an archer. She’s “a little bit insane ngl”, but she is working hard at learning the basics of friendship and I support her!
I had such a good time designing this armor, a little bit inspired by the vampire armor from Skyrim, and a little bit of me just having a good time. Thanks again, @elesssar!
A very special Dragonborn ♥
