Hey guys, Aqua here and boy do I have yet another silly story to tell. ^^' As most of you may know I suffer from really bad anxiety and some depression (the anxiety which has gotten very now due to a unfortunate event in September I would not like to talk about) so as a result a lot of things bother me and worry me... That really is silly and not a big deal.

 

Recently for Christmas I got a Wii-U and I bought myself Splatoon (which the internet problems I've been experiencing I finally seemed to fix last night) and I was looking at an awesome comic in Miiverse. Long story short, (and this is where it goes downhill so feel free to leave the thread) I saw that the creator of the comic made a Splatoon fanfiction called

Overtaken

so I checked it out, and well the fanfiction is really firetrucked up (it's a good fanfiction, especially in terms of quality writing but it's soooooo firetrucked up) I don't want to gross anyone out on here but.... Let's say it's based on the idea that humans like to eat seafood. I'll leave it at that.

It's funny, because I always didn't mind reading stuff like that, but since what happened in September (I won't get into it, if you wanna know what firetrucked up thing happened to me in September just look at the past two threads I made in this section, the one being titled "A video game is ruining my life...") I've been really I guess sensitive to stuff like that? Don't get me wrong, I want you guys to know I'm a REALLY tough girl and I can handle a lot of shit... But after September I've been really sensitive.

 

Anyway, long story short the fanfiction is giving me bad anxiety, and I'm nauseous too because of it. Before September I probably would like the fanfiction, but now obviously things are different. I kinda want to unread the fanfiction, especially since I don't want Splatoon ruined for me. I love that game to death. Anyway, what are your guys thoughts? I'd like some advise/words of encouragement.

At this point, I think what's best is for you to try and forget about it. I know it's not much and certainly isn't words of wisdom or anything . I think you should try and distract yourself with something else to get your mind off of it. It might take some time, but it'll be off your mind faster than you realise that your hiccups are gone.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. It's just that I recently got into Splatoon so I'm like all obsessed with it in a good way. Splatoon has also become an outlet for me (like KH is) so to see that is like someone tearing my wall down. Maybe the reason why it bothered me so much is because of the fact that again, Splatoon became an outlet for me.I don't know if I should just play the game and have fun like I always do, since obviously that might not help me forget about the thing.

If it's really fun, which pretty much sounds like it, then continue playing it but at the same time, try and not think about this fanfiction.

 

Or maybe try and vary your games, like play Splatoon for some time and then play something else.

First, tell me: What is it you are worried about that Splatoon FanFiction?

Well there's a lot of (warning)

violent gore in the fanfiction

which kinda freaked me out.

Okay, I'll try to do that then.

Ah. Now I understand! Yeah, fanfictions some people make now adays are pretty graphic and gore. The best way I know of to counteract that kind of violence is by finding something that is nearly the complete opposite. Cuteness, non-stress puzzle games, relaxing music (without depressing lyrics/no lyrics at all), etc. Or, you know, just take a brief moment and look at Veemon. (Avatar to the left.) :DI guess I haven't been too helpful, but hopefully this might make you feel better. :)Rock on!

I truly wouldn't let it ruin Splatoon for you.  I would go back to playing it, remembering that you love it and that some people are just sickos and ruin anything that is meant to be happy.  It is incredibly hard not to think about connotations, I know, though I'm wondering if there's anything that could distract you while you play Splatoon?  Maybe if you played it with a sibling, or if you chat with a friend while you play?  Just so that you can enjoy what you're doing, but at the same time not think about the fan-fic and instead focus on fun.

 

I wish you all the best and don't want this to ruin Splatoon for you.  I really think in time you'll be able to forget about the story and just be able to play like normal again, though it might be a little difficult at first.  I'm here for you and rooting you on! : )

I can't help here, since this seems to be based on that "A game is ruining my life" thread and that too I had to stay out of.

 

Sorry matey

You are sensitive for good reason and that is one of them. I would forget it then if it's in there.
