stop comparing magical girl site to pmmm or mahoiku… like i get it they’re all ~edgy~ and apparently pmmm is problematic for disparaging a genre that’s already inherently regressive and plays into traditional gender roles but at least the latter two are well written and don’t have a writer with a rape kink

I think the reason that I get possessive over my interests is that the things I claim to love the most are the things that I wish I was able to create. Sometimes I read a book and I’m struck by how amazing it is and for a moment I feel terrible about myself because I know I will never produce something so moving. And in my narcissism, I want to claim it as my own, and the only way I can think to do that is to call it my favorite, to hold it dear to my heart. And when someone else does the same thing, when they have the same “favorite,” I feel as though I’ve lost that claim. It’s ridiculous and selfish and petty, but maybe now that I’ve figured it out, I can finally do something about it.
