I'm gonna be honest I fucking love OCTs, but I also have a lot of issues with them.


- I love them because they make me brainstorm characters, both old and new, and I can go from having nothing to having a character I've absolutely fallen in love with.
- I love them because I get into making comics, a media I pretty much NEVER touch otherwise.
- I love them because I get to see so many cool people and their characters.
- I love them because they give me something to do, something a NEET like me really need as I struggle to decide what I'll do with my life and ever-growing anxiety.


- I don't love them because when I fall behind, my anxiety just absolutely BURSTS out of control, causing me to fall even further behind and then I'm in a bad spiral of absolute self-loathing.
- I don't love them because I get jelaous of my fellow contestants and I suck at making new friends, yet I always tell myself that everyone else becomes friends with each other and it makes me feel left out.
- I don't love them because I never feel like I make my opponents justice.


And these are just some reasons why I have a love/hate relationship with OCTs. Sometimes I wonder if I should just stop, drop and roll out of the OCT scene, but something will always bring me back, even just something little like a glimmer of hope.
